General Marvel Legends

Making Redwing's c-clip red is such an odd choice. Why not white, as it would sorta blend in with Falcon's white glove? Red is just jarring and draws attention to itself.

Death Adder? I started racking my brain...did I miss a Marvel Legends Death Adder? Ah...you jesters. Hopefully the mention of Serpent Society means we'll get more soon. I know Constrictor was a member at some point, but I also kinda don't put him with the Serpent Society. Give me Death Adder, Bushmaster, and Anaconda.

Absorbing Man without powers? Hmmm. Obviously swappable limbs would be ideal. That said, I don't mind a figure of him not showcasing powers. I don't like when we get Invisible Woman when she's half invisible. I like solid, non-powered versions as defaults. Someone like Cottonmouth should have had his powers showcased. But I don't mind Absorbing Man being non-absorbing. Maybe the next version will showcase his powers.
 
Arcade Sentinel variants are apparently shipping soon, 2 months ahead of schedule. Im good for it but i need to just automatically bump up the release dates on my preorders spreadsheet at this stage.
 
Also known as "knife hands" it's the hand sculpt most often omitted from running and flying characters in Marvel Legends. Never seen anyone run with a C-grip unless they're holding something or a Lego.
Artistically (autistically?), it's a clear silhouette that's easy to read, easy to draw, and just an exaggerated real world thing. It conveys motion and animation in shorthand, like a plane wing or blade. And running with fists can be confused for punching, whereas in the comics you get that clear transition from Flash sprinting for his life to clobbering a dude. Visual language over realism.

Done correctly, it looks like the speedster is moving and has pinpoint control.

Can Legends pull off those insane leans and exaggerated poses that make it pop? Eh. If I had to choose, I'd take the knife hands, but I've also only got like three Speedster poses in my toy posing portfolio.
 
Late to the party, but THRILLED about finally getting classic Falcon. Gawd, that ToyBiz marionette we've all been holding onto can finally go retire to a new home; Goodwill, gutter, anywhere. The new one is perfect and that's one out of my Top Ten. Keep 'em coming!

In for Constrictor, Magik, Absorbing Man and Daredevil.

Throg piqued my interest but it's not worth the $$$, even with the Coipel Thor pack-in.
 
Here is Dwight's tease -

I don't remember Jack of Hearts or Attuma using something like this...
