Marvel Legends Preorders - When and Where

Any recs on where to see side by side comps of the new Juggernaut with the old ones? I'm pretty happy with the last version of him but I am a sucker for an upgrade.

Didn't see anyone respond so it's the last ML fan stream on YouTube. The time is around 35:11.

 
I'm a little surprised more folks aren't upset about Juggernaut's size. He's gotta be about the same size as the old Marvel Select figure.
 
I thought I was happy with my KO Juggernaut from Ali, made partly from the Hulk body. But this one really looks superb. Has a lot of swagger. No price on him yet though? Bracing myself...

I think it’s because of the source. Isn’t the MvC version supposed to be massive?
 
If anybody's interested, the Jean Grey X-Factor green costume figure is available now on the Target website. I just picked one up, tipped off by the Marvelous News website. It wasn't supposed to be released until mid-July.
 
Yeah, I got a shipping update on my pre-order and its supposed to be here Monday.

If I see one in person I think I'll grab a second to give it yellow boots - and that way I can display the cowled head and the flowing hair head.
 
Thanks for that! Just checked the app and my local Target had them available. Ordered one to pick up after work.

Speaking of this Jean, has anyone tried swapping Siryn’s yellow feet and boot cuffs onto this figure? Might not be ideal, but at least potentially better.
 
Just went through the collector roller coaster of "I did preorder Jean, right?" to "ah, it's still processing, but I don't need to try to find her in stores, that's fine" to getting an alert on the app that she just shipped. Okay then! Should be here in a few days.

But the shins/ankles would still be green, so it would look weird.
 
For anyone repainting Jean's boots, trick I just was just shown for getting yellow to look vibrant when painted onto a dark surface - base coat of pink, then yellow. Tried it out on some miniatures painting last week and it was the first time I haven't been annoyed by how yellows came out on a flat surface.

That’s what I was afraid of. So yellow paint is required no matter what. 😞

That's not a bad option though for folks like me that just don't have the chops to repaint it properly. Very interested to see this if someone gets around to it!

My preorder also shipped today. I've been loving X-Factor Cyke from the Genocide wave. Hasbro pleeeeease don't make us wait years to complete this team - we know you're eager to reuse those Angel wings, Beast is available, and a good Iceman base body can be reused 1000 times. Hop to it!

Interesting! Any shade of pink?

the person recommending it used what I'd call a crayon pink, very standard. I used a dusty rose pink cos that's what I had on hand and it worked really well. (I prime in black and the pink layer made a huge difference in how true the yellow read.)

(EDIT: If it helps, I use Vallejo Model Color exclusively - tried it out with Dusty Rose and Brown Rose (both are actually soft pink one is a big brighter than the other) and Flat Yellow, Deep Yellow, and Ice Yellow.)
