Marvel Legends Two-Packs

Man, Starfox and Champion arrived and holy moly.... its so satisfying finally getting a character I've been wanting and asking for for years. Starfox has been a major piece of the Avengers line-up thats been missing.

And Champion is a ton of fun to have as well.

It feels like a lot of new goodness all at once with the Skurge wave, Rachel and Feral, this Starfox set and now the Inhumans packs shipping too. SO many new characters to add to the display.

Yes!
And such a wide variety of new characters from all over the Marvel universe. I can’t remember a time I got such a deep and diverse character pool all at once. Most of the current A-lister variants are even less-treaded looks, many first-time costumes or first-time alt-characters.

We're looking at around 24 brand new comic (616) characters in ML this year, plus 7 new-ish (figures from pre-2015). 31 new comic characters is pretty damn good.
 
I had them POed, so both Inhumans sets are on their way, at least according to email. Also have a BB/Triton set incoming from Gamestop, which seemed to have a lower PO price...
 
Two pack might be the best way to do it, but current Venom and MJ would be cool for 2026. Book is the right kind of dumb fun and it's a good excuse to get us a civilian MJ update.
 
All right, Inhumans are here!

Blackbolt is a welcome update on the Vulcan body, with new biceps that have slots for removable wings. There’s an at rest pair and a spread pair. Plugging them in is nice and tight and feels more secure than Falcon, Vulture, or Spider-Woman, who all had similar features. He has three pairs of hands (fists, open, knife) and a screaming head with no effect on the fork like other versions. I think both head sculpts are new.

Medusa is on the Phoenix body with the lower ab crunch/torso pivot combo. Barbell neck is fine since she ain’t getting much movement with all that hair. The face plates are surprisingly made from hard ABS plastic, and pop on and off a little too loosely. Both expressions look pissed, with furrowed brow and closed mouth and more furrowed brow and gritted teeth. The hair sculpt is thick and heavy with added tendrils. She is also surprisingly well balanced despite this.

Triton is then most inhuman looking of the lot. His scales are sculpted very small, less natural texture, more artificial? Both head sculpts are really nice with subtle details. He seems a bit more lithe than the Vulcan body, and I think his boots are from Anniversary Hawkeye, who was equally lithe. He has two fists and two knife hands which will look good in swimming poses. He might have to fight Merman for the McF seahorse in my display.

Gorgon is huge. I’ve crouched him down as low as I can, and he still towers over his family. He is also well balanced on hooves, articulated at the toe, but not the heel, with a calf swivel and double knees. He should be able to achieve a variety of poses. Comes with two fists, one grip right hand (a little loose for his scepter) and one open left.

It is really so satisfying to have the royals of Attilan complete. I’ve enjoyed any book I’ve read that features these weirdos and it’s about time they got their due in action figure form.

Got my sets in today as well. Norm pretty much nailed my thoughts. I wish one of Medusa's faces was more neutral, and that Gorgon was smaller, but these are solid 2 packs. Gorgon can't hold his weapon for crap so it flops all around. Glad I got this set, as, for me, I now have all the Inhumans I need. Team = complete.
