Marvel Legends Two-Packs

[NORM]

In my old age, I’ve shifted to a “no-paint” customizer, who uses only parts that are already the color needed. Swaps only for me.

Likewise. I used to paint and repaint those 5-inch figure lines all the time back in the 90s. But I just don’t have the time, patience, or quite frankly desire to do that anymore.

So the classic Kirby Sersi figure I’ll be putting together will be all boil-and-pop. She should be a fine stand-in until they make an official one. If ever, at this rate. She’ll have to show up in a Spider-Man or X-Men project before Hasbro gives two licks about her again.

The new Eternals book was pretty cool. I say new, God it might be like 5 years old or older now.

Post pics when you do. What parts are you planning to use?

Just out of curiosity - who are you popping together for that? Like the Enchantress torso and arms work... but whose legs and head do you use?

 

[Thor-El]

Just got the Inhumans 2-packs and they are damn nice figures all around.

Aside from wishing we could get a redo of Karnak on the Amazing Fantasy body, I consider this team complete. Maximus would be a bonus, but he’s not critical as far as I’m concerned.

Browsing Hasbro Pulse I noticed that the reissued Hank & Jan 2-pack sold out.
You know, the re-issue that is now more money than the first go round.
This set has sold out twice, at least on Hasbro Pulse, at two different price points.

Dear Dan, Dwight, Jesse and whoever else may read this and report back:

Although it was alluded to that the lackluster Avengers 80th Anniversary sales put a damper on Avengers product going forward (at least that's what was inferred to me at SDCC 2024), I think this set proved TWICE that if you make the right Avengers set it will sell like hotcakes.
We know you're planning 2027, so please include any of the following sets in your 2027 lineup. They could all sell very well and get us Avengers fans some long missing classic Avengers.

I'll be doing a Part 2 soon wrapping up the rest of the classic Avengers... and maybe a few of their adversaries... Stay Tuned!

Yellowjacket and Wasp
1960s/early 1970s red and yellow suit or the early 1980s Perez bule and white suit.
In my opinion, these two Wasp suits would be the best for a Yellowjacket 2-pack.
Jan wore the red/yellow suit a lot in the mid-late 1960s to early 1970s. She also wore a variation of it in a later Marvel Team-Up story in the late 1970s. It's a classic.
Jan didn't wear the Perez blue and white suit very long, but it is iconic.

Other suits would be fine like the orange/gold Korvac Saga suit, but the first two suits I listed are more iconic.

Mantis & Swordsman - classic costumes
Classic Avengers. Both check off a lot of boxes. Both are represented in the MCU so they have some degree of notoriety.

Human Torch and Toro
I know Toro isn't an Avenger, but this 2-pack just makes the most sense. If Hasbro is unwilling to make a teen size body, swap in honorary Avenger Whizzer.

Hercules and Black Widow - 1970s costumes
They were quite the couple in the 70s.
This Hasbro Herc needs an update. 70s Widow in the turtleneck catsuit with the gold zipper and the big hair would be cool.

Stingray and Sub-Mariner
Classic pinless Namor

Steve Rogers/The Captain and Demolition Man
I would have put D-Man with classic Falcon but I'm holding out for hope that we'll see classic Falcon very very soon...
Steve's version of The Captain on any of the recent Cap bodies.

She-Hulk and Jack of Hearts
Jen's more recent costume and Jack with both a face exposed head and a classic helmet head.

Rick Jones and A-Bomb
Although Rick is technically an honorary Avenger, he still counts. This set would sell well.

Moondragon and Hellcat
Classic suit, non-thong Moondragon on a taller body, since she's usually taller than your standard Marvel heroine.
Pinless Hellcat on the super articulated body with a Hellcat head and a Cat head, plus the helmet "ears" are more cat like, not Batman like.

I was messing with Triton and it occured to me how much he benefits from the pinless tech. Green scales on one side of his arms and legs and shiny purple (armor?) on the other side. With pins both sides of the sculpts would be lost and one side would be miscolored. Love progressions like this.

 

[PanchaMaestro]

In the comics the purple things on Triton’s arms looked like some way to circulate moisture on his body. Or that was my kid head cannon

That was always my understanding as well, along with the collar circulating water over his gills.

 

[Schizm]

Yellowjacket and Wasp

While I would love a Perez blue/white Wasp, this looks better as a two-pack.

Yes to all your other options, except Stingray with someone other than another Namor. Are Jack of Hearts and Jen a thing?

I'll trust you and @Thor-El. I (obviously) had no idea as I've not read many of their comics.

 

[vicious]

Coming from just a casual ML collector who doesn't follow this particular (Inhumans) comic, that Medusa/Gorgon pack is very cool just as two standalone figures. Tempting!

Wrapping up my classic Avengers 2-packs:

Firebird and Red Wolf

Two-Gun Kid and Cyclone

Dr. Druid and Deathcry - both are Dead Avengers

Living Lightning and Grandmaster - classic Grandmaster preferred

Gilgamesh and Sersi in green (or comic Ajax, Thena, Makkari, Sprite, Kingo, Druig, Phastos or Kro)

Jarvis and Silverclaw

Triathlon and 3D Man - Triathlon comes with a swappable head representing his 3D Man look

Lionheart and Captain Britain

Stawhawk & Martinex, Charlie-27 and Nikki: two 2-packs

Magdalene and Swordsman II

Yellowjacket II and Fixer - Rita comes with an alternate half mask

Moonstone and Blackout

Alkhema and whichever version of Ultron this is

Graviton (with cape) and Wonder Man - ok this is a stretch but it's a good way to get this Wonder Man costume into the line

 

[SDcomics]

That Wonder Man would be good with a Perez style Beast too, I think.

Nice work, @Beamish!
