The prices are even better now. Everyone is under $10 now except Iron Man.

^ That's a real good deal. Makes me wish there was a BAF, I'd complete the set for a BAF alone at those prices.

Other than 2 Iron Man figures at two different Targets a month ago I've yet to see any of this line at retail yet.

Last week I spotted a Mystique sitting on a random shelf at my Walmart. It must have been a return since my store hasn't carried ML since Hasbro's second wave after getting the license from ToyBiz. Other than, my only other sightings were a couple Iron Man figs at a different Walmart.

In the past couple days I've gotten interested in Marvel Legends. I always see them in stores but usually pass. Today I got a few and I like them. I wanna collect them but I have a question. When did they start getting good? My brother used to have some when ToyBiz produced them but they were horrible in my opinion. I know somewhere along the line Hasbro took over. Did they start getting good there or only when the line was relaunched?

Hasbro got a slow start, and uses a lot of molds over and over. But it's a solid line IMO. Depending on which characters you're after, that'd be a good way to see what you want. I recommend marvellegends.net for a picture database of every character/figure in the line, both Hasbro and Toy Biz.

My issue with the ToyBiz ones were they were too skinny and the joints were too loose. There were so many figures that flopped around and couldn't even stand. Also, I hate finger joints. When Hasbro took over, are those the same quality they are releasing now?

There were some figures of mine that were loose, I admit. YouTube "super glue trick for action figures" to fix most of these issues.
Hasbro doesn't have much in the way of finger articulation, at least not in the recent waves. They've gotten better since they first got the license, but IMO they're still not as good as the Toy Biz ones in their prime. Still, they're nice figures, and I'd recommend Amazon for the newest wave, since it's tough to find at retail, plus with free shipping over $25, you can get them cheaper than retail anyway.
Of the new series figures I bought, Deadpool is a fun figure, Neo-Classic Iron Man is pretty good (although small), and Dr. Doom is the best version of the character ever released IMO.

I've actually found a bunch of the newer ones online. From amazon I got Punisher, Dr. Doom (For $10!), Extremis Iron Man, Klaw, Bucky Captain America, Steve Rogers, Blue Ghost Rider, and Thor. Then from Hasbro's site, I ordered Deadpool, Madame Masque, Big Time Spider-Man, Dakken, and Fantomex all for $15 each. At the store I managed to grab Hope Summers, Drax, and Constrictor.
I think my collection is off to a hot start. I've been researching these for the last two days. I'm also planning on getting another Punisher to make Nick Fury. I have a ToyBiz Nick fury head. I wanna put that head on Punisher and remove the belt and the skull.
Thanks for the help guys.

I'd suggest getting the 2 pack Fury (616). That head isn't going to fit on the Punisher body without some serious modification.

I thought it was a standard ball joint head. Kinda screws up my plans. I'm not a huge fan of that two pack one. I don't like finger and toe joints. I think those joints fall into the category of over-articulation.

In that case, grab the Nick Fury figure from the Captain America movie line. It's spot-on Samuel L Jackson, so it's more "Ultimate" Nick Fury than anything else. But it's a good figure, with no finger articulation.
With all those figures you should be able to put together Terrax and Arnim Zola, if I'm not mistaken? Two BAFs that look pretty nice, I don't have either one.

I think those joints fall into the category of over-articulation. TB Fury would have a small hole in the head for the peg sticking out of the neck, that Punisher body has a giant ball that is part of the neck for the head to go on. You'd have to really hollow out the TB Fury head for it to fit onto the big ball joint that Punisher has (if it could even be done at all).

I'm gonna try to hollow it out. If it fails it fails. I haven't bought an extra Punisher yet anyway.
