Popped into Books A Million to see whats going on. They had a pretty large smattering of Legends in preperation for the movie blitz.....none of which were from the civil war series of course. However they did have full sets of the Red Onslaught and Absorbing Man waves. With some Thanos and Mandroid mixed in throughout. To my ever loving surprise, they had a Hydra Agent left among the Winter Soldier and Cap figs from the series. So, one major hole from a couple years back has been filled. Anyway, if anyone is looking for any of these series (and don't mind paying 5-7 bucks over retail) then check your BAM locations. It might help you out.

Thanks bud. I like it a lot too. Odin seems to be underrated. I think it's a good representation of him. People on Toyark don't seem to appreciate it as much. The whole series is solid. Would love if they made Sif, The Enchantress, and Scurge The Exicutioner tol. I wanna try to find a few MU Frost Giants but they seem hard to come by. Good stuff. Yeah, I've turned a corner on this set - looking at picking up Machine Man and Iron Fist as well as the Thor. Possibly Scarlet Witch. On another note - is Batroc recommended? I'm not overly familiar with him, but would like to one day build Thanos. I love that Batroc figure. I never thought he'd get the ML treatment. Matter of fact he was the first Thanos wave figure i bought. Simple design, but you can get him in all his comic accurate poses if you got a flight stand handy.

So far "the new era" is just as predictable as the old era....

I thought that particular AntMan was based off of the Avengers cartoon(?) I believe the Ant Man figure itself is. But the mini pack ins that came with it are pretty much the only real movie based product we got outside of the 3.75" set that TRU got.

I know I'm going to miss a number of releases here, and I'm sure my fellow posters will probably be able to add to the list, but here is a few of the figures from the MCU. Guardians of the Galaxy: Star Lord, Gamora, Drax, and Rocket all appeared in their very own wave of Marvel Legends in 2014. Once you collect those figures plus the Iron Man and Nova (non movie comic figures) then you could build a Groot figure. The Avengers : There was a rather small movie line based on the movie released at Walmart that featured Hulk, Hawkeye, Loki, Cap, and Iron Man....plus there were figures of Thor, Black Widow (in the ML Mandroid wave) , Winter Sodlier (ML Mandroid wave) and a recent TRU boxset that included Nick Fury, Maria Hill, and Agent Coulson. Most possibly the best way to knock out Avengers movie figures, is the Amazon exclusive set which featured a Bruce Banner figure based off of Mark Ruffalo. This is a very crude list of Avengers figures off just the top of my head.Also, there were figures of Hulk, Iron Man, and Captain America in the Thanos wave. And the recent ML Giant Man wave has Civil War movie versions of Cap, Iron Man, Black Panther and the Giant Man himself from That movie. There are MCU versions of Falcon and Winter Soldier from Civil War coming soon as well as an MCU Scarlet Witch . Iron Man: I'm a little lost here, as i remember getting the Iron Man MK1, regular Iron Man, and Iron Monger from the first movie wave in 08. However i don't recall what movie accurate figures were in the limited 6" figures released for Iron Man 2 (it was mostly 3.75" figures for that and IM3). I do remember there being an Iron Man in that era with the interchangeable Tony Stark head. I don't recall any actual movie product for the Ant Man movie. Thor had a very small 3 figure wave in Walmart in 2011. The only figure from the movie in that wave was the Thor. We didn't get a 6" movie Loki until the Avengers wave later. I know I'm missing some here and there, and I'm sorry i didn't organize the list better, but as i said, I'm doing it off the top of my head. Hope some of this helps you out. Also good choices on the figures you have already picked up! Keep at it. off the top of my head sounds right except movie antman(despite the open mask) in the antman wave which also featured baf movie ultron. Ah yes....the damn Ultron. I'm still trying to build it ,so i don't know how i could forget it. Lol.....i didn't count the Ant Man cause i really wasn't sure its from the movie. As you mentioned, the mask kinda threw me off.

That was......classic WWE over hype for nothing at its best. That was almost Dixie Carter level anti climactic.

Enzo may not be out of the woods, but if he is indeed talking and has some ability to move his limbs, then its infinitely better than the worries we had ten minutes ago. Still gonna side with concussion/whiplash combo here and say hes out of the ring for around 6 weeks if that turns out to be the case.

That's almost the same way Perro Aguayo, Jr died. Please don't. Unfortunately thats the very firstvthing that popped into my head when it happened. I was up cose to the screen just to make sure he was still breathing. Thankfully of course he was. That Perro Aguayo deal was frightening as hell. So, this took me a bit like that. However i dont think it was quite as bad. That being said, the focus should probably be on if there was serious neck or spinal damage.I'm still thinking whiplash/concussion is most likely. And i hope thats all it is.

Ryback has impressed me more tonight than any time in the past. Too bad they probably won't do anything constructive with him.

Could someone help me out with the Hasbro Marvel Legends line. I'm fairly new to it. I've been picking up a few here and there of ones I like the look of. Ghost Rider, Venom, Anti Venom, Morbius, Jack O Lantern, Toxin, etc. I'm a (less than) casual comics fan. I've been in and out of them since the late 80's I think I'm about to dive back in. But my question is about Hasbro ML from the MCU movies/TV series. My son is into the movies big time and I thought maybe those figs would be a good starting point for his side of our collection Could some one with the knowledge, time and kindness provide a list of 'movie' figures from Guardians of the Galaxy, IM 1,2,3, Thor 1,2, CA 1,2,3, Avengers 1,2, Ant Man and whatever else may be from that part of the Marvel Universe Thanks so much in advance I know I'm going to miss a number of releases here, and I'm sure my fellow posters will probably be able to add to the list, but here is a few of the figures from the MCU. Guardians of the Galaxy: Star Lord, Gamora, Drax, and Rocket all appeared in their very own wave of Marvel Legends in 2014.

Nothing earth shattering here, but on the subject of places to find Neca items, i was in an out of the way Walgreens the other day. Much to my surprise, i found them stocking Mezco Mortal Kombat figures, and on the shelf below that they had Neca Terminator endoskeletons, and a concept Alien figure as well. Priced at 19.99 each. It was the first time that I've ever seen either Mezco or Neca product of any kind at a Walgreens. Hopefully this is a sign of them expanding the figure aisle for collectors even more. I recently saw some terminator skeletons as well at Walgreens, it was an awesome surprise. I hope they continue to carry more Neca products but as it is I've only seen those skeletons in a few random spots not all walgreens so I dont have very high hopes. Yeah thats what I'm worried about too. I'd love to see them expand in all locations. Plus ,I'm kinda couting on finding another location with that selection ,so i can pick up the MK Scorpion that wasn't at the first Walgreens that had them. But if WG could become an alternate place to pick up ,at least Predator figures, I'd be pretty happy.
