Extremis does need a new attempt. We've never gotten a decent one. That's the same armor as the Iron Secretary which is my favorite suit. The Revoltech AY figure is a pretty good modern armor that fits in with Legends. Kind of expensive though. It's kind of like a mix between MCU and Comic.
Yeah, Iron Secretary needs a new go around. We haven't had one since the ToyBiz days. Hasbro did Extremis (different armor) in the Terrax wave, but it wasn't very good. The Amazing Yamaguchi version is actually the Bleeding Edge armor which most of the movie designs were based on so that's why it looks very MCU like.
Well I was surprised that Netflix Marvel dudes got their own figure but not Netflix Kingpin? Call it late reaction. But still it doesn't make sense. The 90's X-Men is still strong. So considering there will be BAF Strong Guy, more X-Men figs will come in. If there's a Longshot, there should be Spiral figure as well. If possible, another version of Dazzler too. While we're talking about Mojoworld stuff, I think it's to have a new MOJO baf. I think the Toybiz sculpt still holds up to this day. Hasbro should scaled up that old version and we're ok with it. If Avalanche is coming, the more reason Pyro and a new BAF Blob is needed.
Please no more Iron Man figures, lol! But I’m selfish since I have a perfect Extremis, Shape Changing and a few others from Sentinel. I just need someone other than Hasbro to make Silver Centurian and I’m good. Hasbro needs to make me a Kang though.
I have to re-evaluate my top 10 list since Hasbro gave me a ton of them last year (Colossus, Nightcrawler, Sinister, Vulture, Magneto, Mystique). Right now, these are the only ones I know for sure are still on my list: 1. First Appearance Storm 2. Byrne/Cockrum Banshee 3. Shadow Cat/Ariel/Sprite 4. Sleepwalker 5. Romita Sr Spider-Man 6. Romita Jr Hobgoblin Yeah, there's a ton of other dudes I can put on this list, but I'm not exactly sure what would be my other 4 priorities.
Maybe that store is closing? I have noticed a number of Walgreens in my region have already closed down.
I like the Sentinel Iron men but imo they’re just slightly too big to scale otherwise I would be fine with them
They can just make a new BAF Sentinel but it will require TWO WAVES since it must aim a true or near 1/12 scaling. But the character selection must be a seller with a C or D-lister or two is ok. As long they don't repeat the lack luster line up for BAF MCU Armored Thanos wave. Like nobody asked for a Quantum suit Cap. Maw and Ronin are "mainstream sellers". Then the rest are freakin' c-listers. Even Hercules can't sell it alone.
I agree when it comes to MCU. We've got plenty of those. I'm sure someone wants all those undone Iron Man 3 armors, but if Hasbro ever does decide to do those I hope they end up as exclusives somewhere as I just don't feel there's enough demand for those to be mainline releases. As for comic renditions in Legends I still feel there's plenty of armors that need to be done. Not everyone is willing to shell out the money on Sentinels figures or, in my case, feels that their Re:Edit line is too big to scale with Legends. I do have their take on the "Iron Secretary" suit from their short-lived Armorized line and I feel like it scales really well with Legends.
The Sentinel Iron Man figures are beautiful engineering but imo they're too edgy Japanese looking for my taste. I'm not a fan of manga style robots. Unless we're talking more simplistic Mega Man designs. I know Extremis/Iron Secretary owes a lot to manga but it's understated and smooth looking.
I'm quite pleased with the Sentinels we got so I would rather they gave us BAFs of characters that haven't been done before or done in modern standards like the Brood and Blob.
I have it, it’s a great figure with a plethora of posing options. But it’s still kinda finicky sometimes, so I’d be down for a ML one. The upcoming Avengers game Iron Man looks like a modern classic version, but it’d be nice to get a proper Extremis
I have clear distinct visions in my head of what Iron Man looked like in the 60s, 70's, and 80's. But in the last 20 years, they've become... less distinct. I see people going on and on about this armor and that, but I couldn't tell you the nuanced differences between the Mk VII and the Mk XXXVII. I read the Extremis story as it was published, but I couldn't tell you what's unique about that armor. These days, every one of them looks like a riff on the first IM film to me.
It's kind of circular. Extremis and Bleeding Edge were the inspirations for the MCU armor. Then the comic writers start designing later armors that appeared after the first Iron Man film taking cues from the MCU designs. Wash, rinse, repeat, etc.
I voted for the following on Fwoosh: Madelyn Pryor [Goblin Queen] Mephisto Moondragon Nova [Frankie Raye] Falcon Kitty Pryde [Shadowcat/Excalibur] Emma Frost [Astonishing X-Men] Firelord Firestar Spiral BAF High Evolutionary
I want a redone Modular armor, that defined the 90's look for me with no mouth molded on. Plus the Toy Biz one is scrawny, outdated and looks cheap. For that matter, we also need a new Mandarin. That PVC robe Toy Biz sculpted over if effectively killed any useful articulation.
Those two definitely suffered from being rushed out. Looking at the last couple of waves from TB I get the feeling they were as shocked as anyone else when the announcement that Hasbro had acquired the Marvel Legends license came out.
