General Marvel Legends

Looks like a cost-saving start to the year for me. Ghost Rider for sure, and maybe Abomination. Not sure on that yet. I’m happy with the one I have already truthfully.

Some of the reveals are cool.

That D&W wave looked pretty good. I'm not personally interested in it, but I might bite on that brown Wolverine. Need to see more of the sleeveless one as I didn't think the image looked great.

No interest in the other stuff, but I thought it all looked mostly good. That Punisher mech is kind of awesome, but I don't know who was asking for it.

I’m hoping that’s not it for classic comic figures.

I am a little crest fallen that there's still no Golden Age Human Torch figure.

Well, they said it was too far in the pipeline to cancel, so it's gotta be soon.

I hope so, because the suspense is killing me.

Smart Hulk with guns teased. Guess we are getting that wave.

Hope so, I really want a Smart Hulk

The Astonishing Colossus/Kitty two-pack was the winner for me. I love that the core line-up for the original Astonishing team was completed in like two years or so. I'd love an Armor figure, but that seems unlikely given the engineering challenges. They should do an Ord figure, though!

I'm also excited for Blade, X23, and Cassandra Nova. Sounds like some of the other characters like Gambit and Elektra aren't far behind.

It's also great to see the Grizzly figure. It's been years since there's been a Spidey BAF, so nice to see another avenue for those larger characters.

What the fuck is with stuff like Valentine Iron Man? Like.. the company that cries poverty when you ask for an extra set of hands or paint on a sword has the money to just... throw in the garbage on stuff like that?

I don't collect MCU anymore so all of that stuff was lost on me. Looks good, though. Really good. Blade looks awesome. Love the spinning gun effect for cowboy DP. Giving brown Wolverine unclawed hands for a 3 seconds scene, but NOT giving him his own unmasked head, but still giving him the unmasked head's neck and cowl piece is ... just a weird decision. Figure looks really good, though.
Didn't some 3rd party company JUST release a special accessory set to do the Wolverine skeleton parts on Deadpool thing? Too funny.

Classic Johnny Blaze is awesome, but I'm not sure if I need it. It's a hard maybe, but leaning toward no. I had to stop myself from getting a little pissed off at 'if there are any rider characters you guys really want...' like we haven't been demanding Vengeance and de-powered Johnny since the actual Riders line was coming out.

Punisher Mech looks amazing and I don't want it at all.

That was not it for me. None of the reveals interest me in the least.

As many here are saying, at least it will save me some money in the beginning of the year.

The D&W figures look really nice, assume a second wave will come along with Elektra, Johnny, Gambit and a Lady Deadpool.

You keep away from that lesbian Piotr! You keep away!

I bet the Star Wars holiday stuff sells well enough that they had to try to it with Marvel. Valentine's Day is an odd choice to start with though.

By not including the unmasked head they probably don't have to pay Hugh Jackman anything for the release.

So excited they chose to release Blaze Ghost Rider with a bike.

Technically he's outside the specific time slice I'm basing my collection on, but I'm willing to say he's time traveling.

I completely agree, and I'm almost positive the character was unmasked for that entire scene in the movie too, but I'm GRATEFUL if they had to do only one head that they went with the masked one.

but yeah, fun how much DIY this wave has between "get your own unmasked head, chumps" to the "yeah, you can now make a Paradox figure! Body not included".

I'm hype for that Ghost Rider (if you couldn't tell) and for the likely Falcon.
