Convention Questions for the Legends Team...

[Beamish]

You mean a Hammond Torch? I'm still waiting for them to make one.

Bring any Johnny Torch and tell them "You know why he exists? Because of Jim Hammond. When will we ever get an actual figure of him?"

Roger that.

I feel like someone should ask them if they're aware of Articulated Thoughts, and specifically Damien from Articulated Thoughts, and specifically the fact that Damien is absolutely fucking outraged at the lack of Kylun and Shatterstar II in this line.

I think Toybiz pre-ML Kylun and Shatterstar II are the only Kylun and Shatterstar II figures that you will ever need. Get them now. Get one of each loose and carded.

I actually did do that at one point. I got rid of them back when I did a huge purge of my vintage toys, and I kind of regret it.

The good news is they are easy to replace. I find that vintage figures bring me a LOT less stress than modern. "BuT tHeY dOn'T pOsE aS wElL." Oh, who f'n cares. (Sorry, it's Friday and I've had a few.)

Oh yeah, they're cheap as hell. I've actually got a small list of vintage toys I want to re-re-re-buy sometime in the next year or two. I've gotta replace my v2 Storm Shadow, as he's yellowing a bit and loosened up. And yes, Kylun, two 5" Shatterstars, and the 10" Shatterstar are on my short list at the moment. I also really want to grab that first Hercules from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, and the first Conan from Conan: The Adventurer.

I care about figures posing well when I'm buying a figure FOR THAT REASON. But that's definitely not why I buy actual vintage toys.

I agree with @Hbhf, we need more "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" figures made. We have Doctor Octopus, Mysterio, Scorpion (sort of), the Chameleon and the Vulture. We need the Rhino and the Shocker to complete the Insidious Six. For civilians, we also need Season One Peter Parker, Felicia Hardy, J. Jonah Jameson, Eugene "Flash" Thompson, Joe "Robbie" Robertson and Detective Terri Lee. A Deluxe human Alistair Smythe with his hoverchair would be cool too. Also, Herbert "not Two-Face" Landon should be made too. There are also a lot of two-pack possibilities left, like Blade with Detective Terri Lee, Felicia Hardy with Hobgoblin, Flash Thompson with the Shocker (since they fought in Season Four's "The Awakening", so it's not too unlikely of a match-up), Captain America with Black Cat, and even Red Skull with Electro. Even Spider-Men like Scarlet Spider with Spider-Carnage, Armored Spidey with Octo-Spidey and Powerless Spider-Man with Stan "The Man" Lee would work.

As for questions, I have a few and no one will ever ask them.
1.) Would Retro remakes of old Toy Biz toylines, such as "X-Men: Classics", "Spider-Man: Spider-Power" or "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest heroes" be possible retro card ideas for future "Marvel Legends" waves?
2.) Are there any live-action Marvel figures that the "Legends" team are currently not allowed to make, such as Lou Ferrigno's Hulk, Bill Bixby's David Banner, Peter Hooten's Doctor Strange or Matt Salinger's Captain America as examples?
3.) Since the "Marvel Legends" team is doing "Gamerverse" figures, what classic Marvel video games at video arcades and on home game consoles from the 1980s, 1990s and/or the early 2000s would the Legends team think would be cool to one day make?
4.) Fans have been asking for action figures based on the video game adaptations of Marvel movies, such as Ang Lee's "Hulk" and the Sam Raimi "Spider-Man" trilogy, as possible "Marvel Legends: Gamerverse" figures. Would Hasbro be allowed to make toys based on those movies' video games.
5.) Is it possible the "Marvel Legends Series Secret Wars" series might/could continue in the future and have the figures listed as "comic version", like Boomerang and Scorpion from the "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" toyline, to avoid confusion with the inevitable "Avengers: Secret Wars" figures?

Also, if anyone drops off names for wish-list characters (in addition to Volcana, Jack of Hearts, Mantis, Moondragon, early 90s New Warriors Namorita, Diablo, Attuma, Bucky Barnes, Moonstone, Diamondback, classic Valkyrie, the Warriors Three, the Wrecking Crew, George Perez art-based Beast, Carrion, the Wizard, Yellowjacket, Jim Hammond Human Torch, red and white-stripe suit Colossus, Battleworld black-and-red outfit Thing, and Gene Colan art-based Count Dracula on behalf of @AceofKnaves of course), I'd love to have the following fifteen names (or at least my top five) mentioned for the Hasbro team to consider as possible future figures - brown jumpsuit Professor Hulk, white Armani suit Doctor Octopus with bendable wire tentacles, sleeveless 1995 suit Invisible Woman (from the 1995 "Marvel Masterpieces" cards), Generation X suit Jubilee, black-and-red West Coast suit Wonder Man, Acolyte suit Colossus, Jarella, the Ringmaster, Alan Davis suit Storm, tank top F.F. suit Thing with pants and boots (from "Fantastic Four" #374, before his face is scarred by Wolverine and he had to wear a metal helmet), and updated classic versions of Doctor Doom with "Kirby crackle" energy effect accessories, The Mighty Thor, Doctor Octopus with bendy wire tentacles, The Incredible Hulk, and Mister Fantastic with alternate bendy wire arms for the "Marvel Legends Series Secret Wars" toyline as sold-separately figures or for a new third assortment.

I've re-re-re-re bought plenty in my day.

I never had Hercules, but I had Xena. I think I need to re-buy her.

There are a lot of vintage figures that pose for shit and you can STILL make a sweet display. It just takes some creativity.

For this year, my big plan (Such as it is) is take these Bucky and Cap figures with me to the show.

Then go to the Hasbro booth, pull them out of my bag, and say "Hey Guys. Can we do better? Pretty please? With sugar on it? Before I die of extreme old age (Which isn't all that far off)? Thank you."

I made my own years ago. They could do the Cap with almost no effort (resculpiting the helmet ). I suppose they would have to use pinless arms & legs too. They COULD do Bucky on the new smooth teen body (like Cypher) but minimally it's a new head and torso w/belt overlay. I really wanted the Invaders so I made my own, but I always like the professionally crafted ones (more durable). I would buy an Invaders box set in a heartbeat.

Y'know what I'm not going to ask about... M'baku

I will too.

But let's ask someone besides Jesse.

 

[PantherCult]

I asked Dwight and Dan first and they referred me to Jesse. They set me up, man.

 

[The Scream Man]

Can they share parts/designs with other Hasbro teams? For example if they made a horse, could it come out with Legends as well as Classified?

 

[PantherCult]

My understanding of things in the past is that anything that is designed for Marvel Legends can't be shared with other lines, because Marvel has some claim to it. But, things developed for Hasbro owned lines, without licensor issues, can potentially be shared with Legends.

So a horse built for Legends couldn't be shared with Joe.... but a horse built for G.I. Joe could potentially be used for Legends - assuming Marvel didn't balk.
