General Marvel Legends

I'm not buying the Magic Agent Venom, but if I was, I'd steal his goo grips for Groot so he could finally re-enact GOTGv3 properly.

And Iron MJ's head I'll be swapping onto the TRU civilian Mary Jane body - I have her and Spidey swinging and this hair will help that SO MUCH. Hope the skintones aren't too different.

But both of these are wait for a sale. Unless I can offload the card for a good amount.

I feel like scaling might not work in your favor. TRU one is on the taller, bigger female buck and the Gwen/MJ/Spin MJ is smaller. I've tried it and it wasnt for me even aside from skin.

But here's hoping.
 
I have a legit question and although I've been on a snarky streak today, this isn't meant to be snarky at all.
Genrally, do the role play helmets, shields and other props sell well? They aren't my thing so I don't really pay too much attention.
Just curious.

My best guess is yes because they keep making them and they certainly would take up a lot of space in a shipping container/warehouse/fulfillment center/store shelf/etc.. but I barely see people buying these things or talking about them.
 
I know people who buy them. Honestly, more than collect figures. But those people also don't collect figures, and lean statue and cosplay in their collections.

It's also been my experience they're... Cheap enough (I know), to be a cool impulse pick up for some casual fan high on a new property, and then it just gets stowed.

I also know megafans that go all in on Cap or Wanda or Loki and you could make a shield, crown, or tampon applicator and they would buy it and throw it front and center.
 
I still have all my MCU helmets on display. MK III Iron Man, Starlord, Black Panther, Ant Man. And Din Djarin with Black Series. Oh, and I have Mjolnir, Agamotto, Tesseract, Power Stone Orb atop my MCU display bookshelf. Cap’s shield on the door to the collection room/office.
 
The only Marvel prop I have is Cap's shield and then a Darth Vader helmet from SWB. The shield hangs behind a door and the helmet I got on clearance. I just look at props as taking up valuable space that could be filled with figures, so I avoid them even though they look cool.
 
I bought the Metal shield, the plastic cap shield, both Mjolnirs, the first Iron Man helmet, Black Panther’s helmet, Ant-Man’s helmet, Thanos’s Gauntlet, the Eye of Agamotto, and Magneto’s helmet. I keep the metal Cap shield as a good wall decoration in my living room, but honestly the rest just took up so much display space I had to move most of it to work.

Also all the helmets are massive. They look huge on literally everybody so I can’t imagine people are using them for cosplay much.
 
I honestly want to collect and display all of those various Props released, but I just don't have the space to display them. If I had my ideal ollection room (someday, in the next house) I would have all the things displayed like the Avengers trophy room.
 
Did they release ever release Wanda's or Loki's "finale" crowns? I don't think so, but I don't keep up. They all look cool but I don't have room on my shelves for that. :)
 
BBTS just bumped my Fantastic Four Retro She-Hulk pre-order to pre-processing! I'm pre-excited! Call me crazy but I think I'm going to acetone off the '4' logo because I think it would look better without it.
 
I got the same notice. I have three other big items also processing there, plus a Pile with seven items already! Definitely shipping once She-Hulk comes in.
