General Marvel Legends

Based on what little we've seen teased, I don't think there will be cell shading. I don't know how Hasbro has perceived the general feedback on the cel shading paint apps up to now... but hopefully they realize it's best avoided the way they're doing it. I'd be happiest if the figures don't stand out from the rest of the line, so anime head sculpts would be a disappointment for me. I don't mind if they give Wolverine's cowl more dramatic fins or whatever to match the art... but I don't love how the X-Men 97 aesthetic really fit with the rest of the line. Fine for those who want X-Men 97 only or animated shelves... but if these are dramatic improvements (especially for Cap, Psylocke and Wolverine) it would be a shame if the heads made them essentially incompatible with the rest of my main collection.

Despite my curiosity, I own Cable and Marrow so I'm going to have to assume it's going to be more in the traditional style since those were clear plays into the roster.

That is my hope too. Ideally they will bring out Cable and Marrow as lead ins to the announcement and the new figures are compatible.
 
After seeing Dwight's post on Twitter where he "set expectations" and just showed the feet of Wolverine and Silver Sammy, now I'm wondering if we'll see the Fantastic Four movie figures at all, or if it'll just be these MvC figures. They could still fall under that "team" tease that Pulse made a week or so ago. That would be a big bummer; I know the movie is still about 2 months away, but with Funko unveiling their product so far out, I'd be surprised if Hasbro was treated any differently. It's not like we don't know what any of the characters look like. They do technically have time to unveil them before the movie, but I'm just dying to see what they look like and to know when they're coming.

Yeah, while I like the Capcom art, I also get wanting to update some of these characters for the general collection.

Trust me, I'm like the Flash when it comes to unloading Legends in favor of a better version, even when they double dip within a few years.
 
The game select screen for Psylocke is pretty full on Jim Lee (which I’d argue Legends hasn’t fully nailed yet), so if they want to go that way, I wouldn’t complain.

I have a soft spot for Capcom Psylocke as it was my introduction to her (played the game before getting properly into comics). But I very much doubt they’ll do a new T’n’A heavy sculpt to match the sprite. In fact, I’d be surprised if it isn’t just a re-do of existing Betsy with a few accessories.

If they want to go nuts on a game matching sculpt, I’d rather they did Juggernaut, rididulously oversized arms and all.

After the image Hasbro put out, it would be... insane to not reveal the FF figures. To say there would be a significant backlash would be an understatement.
 
Honestly, I’m way more excited about seeing the Capcom tribute stuff than seeing the MCU FF. Not a knock on the movie figures, but I feel like I already know what they should look like. The Capcom stuff just feels more interesting.
 
The only reason I'd think they won't show the FF figures is they usually don't, if not never, show MCU stuff for the first time on these streams. Entertainment Weekly or IO9 or someone gets the reveal, then the trio showcase the figures at the next stream.
 
The FF figures if we see them probably are shown somewhere before the stream earlier in the day. If we don't see them tomorrow, sucks for us MCU people but they're coming and we known it at least.

I am a MCU only guy, but I could be in for Shuma. If he is green. Then I could just maybe stand him in for MoM "Gargantos." But if he is pink, I am out.
