Toynewsi has images up of the Hasbro Marvel Legends in their packaging

I don't mind the new look of the figs - still ticked about the last two waves not being available to people outside of the states. And I still haven't decided if I am going to keep collecting these figs.

Banshee's a character I was so fond of I'd have considered buying even though I'm not an ML guy. But I still dislike that figure, even if it does look better than the prototype, and it's not my favourite costume of his.
Otherwise, I'll continue to look at Marvel Legends whenever I see them, but not really pick any up.

Are these made by the same design team? The older ones feel darker. these guys look to polished and clean.

I still angry that they wont produce the minion line. Man was that Hand ninja looking good.

From what I know - and that isn't much - ToyBiz is still doing the last bit of sculpting design selection, and Hasbro is doing the distribution, and over the next year or so, it will slowly all shift over to Hasbro - so my guess is, the next wave or two will be ToyBiz influenced, with Hasbro maybe doing one or two figures duing a transition wave. Should be interesting, as what I am seeing in regards to the Spider-Man wave just looks like alot of rehashing of old molds etc. and the only really new SM item I have seen is the toddler dancing spiderman plush item.

Hmm. The White Queen in a diaper doesn't really do it for me at all. These are not smooth figures.
On the whole I don't like the new ones. Wierd necks, strange proportions and sculpts that just don't flow.
I'm likely in the minority, but I'm not even the tiniest bit tempted to collect this line.
