General Marvel Legends

Yeah same. Don’t need Ghost Rider either. I’ll just flip them on eBay. It’s like just buying a deluxe figure with the portion you don’t recoup. Annoying but not that big a deal.
 
US Agent at least looks like a fun figure to mess around with...but yeah, this BAF wave is a very "You're going to probably buy a figure or two you don't want," kind of BAF wave.
 
I pre-ordered all seven. I have little to no interest in those costumes for Betsy or John so they'll get re-sold loose but I'll keep the rest.

I'll be ecstatic to get each of Box, Marrina and Robbie as brand new characters in the line. Lady DP will replace an 8-year old figure. I'll likely try to repurpose Dark Hawkeye into Trickshot. I might even figure out something useful to do with that USAgent although I don't know what yet.

Overall 4 new characters out of 14 (29%) shown yesterday is appealing to me. That's all I really care about after collecting this line for more than one-quarter of a century. I'm planning to buy all that were revealed yesterday except Rivals MK and Punisher.
 
Definitely whelmed by the reveals. They did good, not an Alpha Flight guy so not sure I bother with that, but Ghost Rider and USAgent from Force Works are locks for me. I wish Bullseye had the leg straps, but still looks good and I want Ares.

If their team is a big fan of Force Works then Century seems kinda obvious, I think it's reasonable to get pumped for him making it into Legends. Put him on a retro card! Yes to old X-Force figures coming back, I hope it happens along with the Hellcharger. I would go in on that this time.
 
My takeaways are:

-They finally finished the main team from Alpha Flight #1.
-They actually put three female characters in one wave.
-Namorita is a given, the only question is when.
-A good portion of the budget went to Marrina's new upper and lower torso pieces. They are willing to spend the budget money on non-A, B and C listers with no film tie-in.
-Fans have been collectively asking for Outback Psylocke for literally years. Hasbro listened.
-Them mentioning Force Works might set the stage for Century.
-Dan mentioning the EOV and the possibility of reexamining it is interesting and I'd guess it could be an upcoming made-to-purchase item, minus all the bells and whistles.
-BAFs aren't dead, at least for now. We know of at least one more for 2026.
-This mixed bag set has gotten pretty good buzz on several social media sites.
-With finishing the Inhumans last year and the main Alpha Flight team this year, maybe there's hope for finishing other classic teams like GOTG. Hepzibah is supposably coming in 2027. Maybe the Starjammers will be completed.
-There is only one villain in this wave, and he's disguised as a hero. We need more villains. An entire wave of them.
 
Three females in one wave isn’t unprecedented.

Tri-Sentinel has Jean, Moira, Omega Sentinel
Totally Awesome Hulk has MCU Danvers, Rambeau, Khan
Latest mini-comic wave has Phoenix, Feral, Black Widow

I hope we get a wave of all Draculas, but none that Ace actually likes.

Joke’s on you, they *already* made Marvel’s dork-Dracula, and he was actually a good toy!

But yeah. We need several Draculas. Including “casual” 90s Dracula.
