Title: Hasbro's Marvel legends
Post by: akpayne on November 08, 2006, 05:21:51 PM: So much for their thoughts on not having chase/varient figures. Wizard just posted images from the next wave - I don't really care for the X3 movie figs, and it sucks that the build a figure is the blob I would rather the build a figure be more obscure, as I think the Blob would sell well on his own.

Hasbro is calling it 'SERIES ONE'.
So technically this is Marvel Legends : Wave Two : Series One.

I don't care for most of them.....

These don't look much like the original run. It's a shame Hasbro is going to kill this line. Maybe the original company can pick up the DC line?

BTW, who the heck is "Xorn"?

I expect to see them in Giant Tiger next Christmas and clear out prices because there are going to be some many left on the pegs. At least the craptacular Juggernaut looks like the body might be useable as custom fodder.
