I wonder if his weird articulation is holding them back...like he's always hunched over, so they want to design it around that...🤔. We deffo want him though.
@@Banterbear Yeah, I’m sure that could be remedied with just giving him some real good ab-crunch like with some of the other figures they’ve done, but time will tell.
Mandarin? MANDARIN! Oh I couldn't be anymore excited for a ML then having an absolute A-lister villain for the display. To scratch this character off my wish list is literally a huge relief as I never thought Hasbro would ever make one. Banshee, I can finally retire that old Toybiz figure and finally complete my Uncanny X-Men display. Adam Warlock is a must-have as well. I am hoping they make a Jim Starlin styled one. Could Pip be next? Jean Grey in the X-Factor wardrobe looks pretty enticing yet with the latest Jean figures out from ML and Mafex - it might be too late for me to start another team. Thanks a ton for your efforts on this video Jeffrey. I really appreciated it. 2025 looks pretty promising. If Hasbro wants to throw in a Wizard and Trapster I might want to pinch myself.
Thanks Jay! There's a lot of essential figures and I'm looking forward to getting them next year. I hope Mandarin does come through along with Banshee (of course) and X-Factor.
Woody, I couldn't agree with you more! This sure was an exciting list! And if they throw in Wizard and Trapster, too?!? I will drive up there and pinch you myself!!!
I’m hoping the X-Factor Jean Grey is a good indication that we will get the whole team before long, but I really, really want the Walt Simonson costumes.
He did do the original costumes. He started around issue #10 and they didn't change costumes until #26(?) But yeah, I do want their second outfits more.
@@LylesFigureFiles I want both. I’m selfish like that. I also wish mafex would put them out instead of legends. Something about the way the mafex knee and elbow joints look when bent are so much better. I wish a billion dollar company would at the very least keep up , since they aren’t trying to surpass. I don’t understand it but it is what it is.
@jwolf8371 I would love a deluxe one, where we could get swappable forearms, calves, and head/neck like the Tombstone and Talos figures. That way, we would essentially have two figures in one, just like Talos.
Banshee, Chameleon, vintage Adam Warlock and Constrictor are the ones that I'm most looking forward to. Want to see: U-Foes, Frightful Four, Blastarr, Stingray, Jack of Hearts, Vangard, and some Inhumans.
@@LylesFigureFiles I agree. I really want to see some of the other things from my list, but I do think that the Inhumans will get done. Maybe even an update on Blackbolt too. Kharnak is unlikely to get another figure. Anyone thinking that's a possibility is getting high on hope-ium. lol
I totally get wanting the Red and Yellow X-Factor costume for Jean because like you said, they already gave us the corresponding Blue and White Cyclops. I have to admit though that I think the Green and Yellow is maybe still my favorite because it calls back to both her Marvel Girl and Phoenix colors. Now if they make that X-Factor "Human-Like" Beast, it could probably be easily repainted to be part of a new X-Men First Class box set. That right there would be a grail set for me! As far as the MvC 2-packs....Oh man, I am sooo excited for these! I can definitely use a new Jim Lee Psylocke. I also need a Silver Samurai. Green and Yellow Banshee will be great to finally have. But Wait...Hasbro, no YellowJacket?!!! 😠😢😭 I'm holding out hope we may get an announcement for him before the end of the year but I'm starting to lose faith.
I'm surprised we haven't gotten the original X-Men look for them though I wouldn't mind if they used smaller bucks so they don't look fully adult just yet.
What if… we get a Sony Marvel wave: Riot(Venom)-head She Venom(Venom)-torso Morbius(Morbius)-right arm Milo(Morbius)-left arm Shriek(Venom: Let There Be Carnage)-right leg Kraven(Kraven the Hunter)-left leg BAF: Rhino(Kraven the Hunter)
Sometimes I watch these and realize how little I know about comics because of my narrow focus. But like your excitement about completing teams and getting all of these variants.
@@LylesFigureFiles That sounds great. Other than Iron Man and a few others I usually only buy one version of a character, but I like knowing all of the history and it think you would be entertaining with it.
13:17 you mention Sentry who’s “time is running out out”…he’s already been done and you were talking about Force Works…what did you mean? My brain is shorting out who you may have meant. I’m exciting for Banshee and Warlock the most myself.
I was worried I said Sentry as I was editing it. I said (albeit a bit too fast) Century, the character who started teaming with Iron Man in the Force Works title.
I feel like if we get an ex factor human looking beast, then will probably also get our first class, looking beast and the rest of the team in their first class look. I am leaning my hopes on the fact that we’re also getting suited banshee so maybe we can get The whole giant size roster all at once it would be nice if everybody was as painless as this banshee is no doubt going to be
This whole list is amazing . I still hope we get a spectacular spiderman from the 2008 cartoon and a hopefully a re release of the Spider-Man games figure with his spider arms to go with black cat I'm also excited for Tobey Maguires black suit
Im definitely looking forward to Professor X in the Hover Chair.. the O.G. version is VERY expensive on the aftermarket right now... also when they announced Punisher recently..i figured that Mandarin would be coming soon..lets face it Hasbro is a business & im happy that they realized it's good business to give the people what they want! Also a Jim Starlin Warlock Pip the Troll 2 Pack would be amazing..& even tho i gave in & got the X Men 275 3 Pack Banshee off eBay..i got it for $22 so I'll definitely be picking up the OG green version 👑 Anyways Great video brother I'm looking forward to more of your Marvel Legends reviews 👑
OMG, Jeffrey! Some UA-cam channels have an explicit warning on them. This spisode should have come with a TAKE YOUR HEART PILLS BEFORE VIEWING warning!! What an exciting list!! I don't know which one to be most excited about... it all will come down to the "Wrong Costume" problem with which we are tortured by Dwight far too frequently in my view. Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I often find myself muttering, "Oh Dwight. Why did you put this character in that costume?!?" Bottom line? I reacted to none of these leaks with the thought "Pass." I'm gonna be all over these figs!! Thanks again, Jeffrey!! Now I gotta go change my pants...
Out of what you mentioned, Stan the Janitor, Shuma Gorath, Juggernaut (favorite villain!), and Crossbones (if he isn't in his "wrestling" attire is what I'm most hyped for. Still holding out hope Razorfist eventually makes the cut.
@@LylesFigureFiles Agreed. I actually prefer his MCU look. He'd have been much better than Death Dealer, A.I. Stark or the Civil Warrior in that wave. As Marvel Comics Presents #1-10 cemented Wolverine as my favorite hero, I have a big soft spot for ol' Razorfist so I want his goofy comic look as well.
13:39 At first I thought you said Shuma Gorath was the temple guy _(and thought, 'no, that's capcom's darkstalkers')_ but maybe you knew he has the big eyeball and said he was the tentacle guy (next to Spider-Man in that pic and the character in the middle of the image at 15:25). Shuma gorath had multiple weird forms and attack shapes, I think he'd have to be a deluxe. 14:21 there are two types of wolverine they could do, as MvC2 haf both the bone claw option and adamantium. I guess I'm more into a potential Marrow, as the other characters mentioned seem like there are already adequate alternatives in place. Now if the improvements far excel the former like Spiral, then I'm for it... just skeptical. The main shortcomings of earlier releases are the lack of accessories to mimic their powers, especially when MvC2 did over the top illustrations of their power sets. I just imagined dhalsim arms for spiral 😳🤯 Was psylocke's buck in the recent 2pack that much better than the baf caliban wave? 18:03 an MvC2 character too 😉, along with 24:33
@@LylesFigureFilesyeah, I was referring to that psylocke/wolverine 2pack you mentioned around the 14:45 mark and comparing that buck to the previously released psylocke that was a part of a baf wave (I erroneously wrote caliban, when she & her variant were actually in the apocalypse BAF wave). The older psylocke costumes matched MvC2 look, but they were using older female buck, so I'm not too confident in remolding the newer psylocke in that 2pack. (I personally got the 2pack as I felt she looked like a shi'ar character and could perhaps even be tweaked into lilandra's sister. I ordered that ironman with proton cannon the same day they announced it on the pulse livestream. I subsequently got a 2nd after getting a custom cannon from an ebay seller so it could be given to war machine. But eventhough hasbro made the cannon, the blast effects for it were wholely underwhelming. Fortunately, I think a much better option is the air bubblewrap that's shaped like thin columns/tubes that could more adequately stand in as accessories to represent the lasers firing from the proton cannon.
I am MOST excited by the prospect of a Classic Banshee finally - but also excited for a Classic Adam Warlock, Moonstone as Ms. Marvel (give us a classic Carol alternate head and l'll buy two), Husk and Kaine. Shuma Gorah - yes please!
I think it would be smart to do a human beast because he could also be used to give us a first class look and then we just get the whole first class team. I can’t imagine that they won’t complete the rest of Gen X given that they’ve started us on that journey. I’d love to get new mutants and their original looks or their graduation looks. I think it’s smart to play on the nostalgia of 80s 90s readers and just give us all the looks of all the characters.
2024 has been a GREAT year for Marvel Legends, and it looks like the good vibes will continue in 2025. I’m down for Agent Venon, Ms. Marvel/Moonstone (PLEASE give her an extra 70s Carol Danver Ms. Marvel head. I’ll buy two!), Iron Man (still waiting for Heroes Reborn), Mandarin, Psylocke, Warlock (hoping for the original Starlin look, but okay with Infinity Gauntlet look), X-Force (sold off my originals), X-Factor, Husk (VERY high on my most wanted…love Paige), and Banshee. I would love a Marrow, so I hope she’s coming as well.
Yep. Some folks have been complaining about the line, but they've really been on a roll since mid-2023. The 2024 figures have largely been good to excellent and next year seems like some strong candidates too.
I bet they’ll use the new punisher body to make this agent venom it’s got the height and just general feel of a military type character. I think they’re also going to give us a more retro punisher on that same body with the white boots. Maybe it’ll even be in a retro Spider-Man car back packaging so it doesn’t feel like just a boot swap.
There’s still a few figures I still hope they make, Earth-X Wolverine(Fat Wolverine), a new Daken, Albert and Elsie Dee, Gateway, Werewolf by Night( Jake), Tusk, more Marvel zombies , more Venomized figures, Beast TAS, feral Wolverine
So, I'm hoping for a classic 1970s Punisher If we get that, I can knock 3 off of my Bronze/Shooter Top 10 era Missing list The main one for me though, Classic Valkyrie. That is sorely needed and a 1970s Falcon so I can close down that early Avengers line up.
The Fabian Cortez fig should come with an alternate head of other members of The Acolytes with swappable hands/arms....cause they wear the same uniform....just like they did with The New Mutants girls - Wolfsbane, Moonstar, and Karma
Great video! Please give us a new Ice Man. I hate the the retro card SO BAD I made my Toys R Us 3 pack phased Vision my Ice Man on display. Yes: I cut off the reto's belt. When they make a viable Ice Man, im turning retro into battle damaged Silver Surfer.
@@LylesFigureFiles like the updated Black Widow to be specific for them and plus Gwen Stacy should have a soft goods coat and skirt too the next time we get her again but for MJ well I can guess is that it could be the updated classic 616 or the new ultimate 6160 version we might get?
@@edrianraneses5864 I think they're still a little hesitant to go soft goods for all the characters. I don't know if they would do that for Gwen or MJ while they're pushing Spider-Gwen.
There was also rumors on another UA-cam channel that another X-Men fox legacy wave featuring Storm, Cyclops, and X3 Jean Grey, taking it with a pinch of salt but I hope it's true, I need them so bad 😩🤞🏻
We need an OG Betsy Braddock/Psylocke figure. Be it Outback Armour, Classic Pink Jumpsuit or Asrar Disassembled. Oh, and the Neal Adams era Original X-MEN. I want a furless Beast. But I guess we might get that with an X-Factor vrelease.
I need that Professor X, since I missed the last one and prices or out the roof. I need that Warpath and Arcangel, the chameleon and Psylocke. Whoa boy my pockets will be hurting.
For me im mostly interested in MVC venom because he'll be blue. I LOVE blue venom. I grew up with him on MVC2 and the PS1 spiderman game. Ill make up some lore in my collection that Venom changed his color from black to blue to appear more friendly as an anti-hero. I even have my spidey collection organized in shelves: Spiderman and his allies/costumes and variants, and on the other his villains. Blue venom would absolutely go on the ally shelf. Sorry im rambling ive just been wanting a blue venom for ages
Not gonna hold my breath for the MVC wave, but if it should come to fruition, I hope they make Capcom characters, a deluxe MVC styled Sentinel and Marrow would be awesome as well.
@LylesFigureFiles If they can't this whole endeavor is pointless and honestly on them since the last time they claimed to be making an MVC line they made 3 3/4 scale. Such a wasted opportunity. Got my 🍒 pickin 🧺 ready.
A lot of the figures in this leak don’t appeal to me personally, but I’m glad that others are excited. Banshees, Adam Warlock, and the Mandarin are must-buys. I would prefer the Adam Warlock from Jim Starlin’s run pre-Infinity Gauntlet, but I’ll take either one. Oh, and Shuma-Gorath is definitely appealing depending on how he looks. I always kind of wanted a big HasLab version.
@@LylesFigureFiles noo, they if anything could go for the comic venom mold, or the young Thor buck w butterfly shoulders, UK is max 6'3" w narrow shoulders, Kaine was 6'4" w wide shoulders
USAgent is on the Bucky Cap body, so while I agree with which Agent you think it is, I think they could be upgrading his body. He SHOULD be bigger than Steve Rogers.
Man it’s a shame I need to start selling older figures to make space,I ‘m no longer gonna buy complete waves I don’t need all this stuff I just need first time characters, i still can’t find a Warbird, or Wreckage, what is the discord name I heard you mention on the last stream.Kane Mandarin is a get, Shuma Garth is a Get, if they did Lady Thanos I’d get other wise it’s a pass.
Are you getting rid of figures that got updates or just figures you don't like anymore? Lady Thanos would be fun too! Here's the discord link: discord.gg/AS38Tdux
Excited for Mystique, Banshee and possibly the X-Factor pair...might hold off until I know they are doing the whole team though, otherwise what's the point😬. The rest is a bit meh for me but I'm more of a silver age/80s buyer, which is fine for my wallet 😌👍 ETA; oh yeah, The MarvelvsCapcom packs sounds fun too. I wish they could get a limited license to include some of the Capcom side, that would be amazing. Although I still hate double packs in general...heres one character you really want, heres one we're forcing you to get to have them.
Beast in human form would be awesome . We need this whole team . A box set would make sense . When a box set makes sense Hasbro does not do it . Why can't tney offer both ?
I just wish that Hasbro would realize that Spider-Man is not the only Hero, they could be making more instead of the Hero's over an over, im just saying my opinion
Several I will buy, but no 'Holy Grails'! I think I only had 2 or 3 'Grails' in 2024. I'm beginning to lose hope that I will ever have my 'Complete' Collection. I'm down to only 13 but they just don't come out. My 'Holy Grails'; Warriors Three Wrecking Crew Comics Swordsman and Mantis Hephzibah and Raza of the Starjammers Techno/Fixer Atlas Of course there are more that I would buy, but those are my only must haves.
I feel like there are waaaay too many redos or different versions of figures we just got. Hate to be negative, but there is just so much we need that we have no represetation of. But there are a few bright spots for sure. Mandarin!!!!! I barely care which look, as long as its not just a dude in a suit. I want some robes up in here! Banshee better come with a screaming head and a first appearance head with the metal tiara. Warlok should be cool. Chameleon, cool. I was just talkin about the need for battle damaged heroes, especially Spidey since he always gets his butt handed to him. X Factor is exciting, but i wish we had confirmation on human look Beast and a quick repaint of Angel. Crazy if we get a Ms Marvel look Moonstone before a Danvers! Kind of a slap in the face! I wonder if those X Men figs will be a baf of the Hoverchair or if that will be deluxe and theres a baf to be excited about.
It's a comment section. I'm used to folks sharing their disappointments. Their attention span on team shifts from year to year so that would explain why we get Moonstone Ms. Marvel before Carol.
I see a couple i have been looking to buy like punisher war machine and crossbones so i may hold up before buying the old ones ,but price will be a factor . I will stick with the marvel select arcangel for now depending on how the legends look . Other than those i didnt see anything else i need to have
I don't think they are going to make another war machine punisher I have a feeling that this punisher figure that we are getting comes from what if #29 what if captain America formed the avengers
I don't have that Avalanche. That figure is terrible. The articulation is nonexistent, the headsculpt was bag on head hideous. I had it for a week or two and then traded it. Avalanche deserved better.
I don't collect legends because it's a money pit I would however buy a legacy set if it was Wesley snipe's blade 2005 FF 2000 X-Men films and maybe guardians of the galaxy 69 team
SPM, and villains are all welcome. Best of the list is Chameleon. I could live without everything else. I’m really over Marvel Legends. It’s not an exciting line, or fandom the apathy for the line and the company isn’t inspiring.
As my name indicates, I grew up in the earliest years of Marvel. So I guess the role of the "cranky old man" is assigned to me. Watch out parade, here comes the rain! LOL! If this is the crap Hasbro is putting out in 2025, then 2025 is the year ML died and I won't be collecting them anymore. Look! More Wolverine variants! Look! More Iron Man variants! Look! More Spiderman variants! There are literally thousands of cool Marvel characters they've never made, but instead Hasbro just keeps churning out remakes and variants of the same damned characters - over and over and over again. It's ridiculous. You know what? I wish Hasbro would set aside 2025 as the Year of the Remakes and release NOTHING BUT Wolverine, Deadpool, Spiderman, and Iron Man variants. 20 variants of each character, at least. Maybe 30 releases of each. Churn out the same old character over and over and over again all year until you get as sick of making them as fans are of buying them. Just get it out of your system so we can get back to some ORIGINAL releases of much-wanted, much-needed characters. Chameleon is a classic character, and while I like his cartoon costume visually, it's ridiculous for the theme of the character. It makes no sense. Plus, he's yet another character who's already been released. And now all these female variants of make characters? Not into that nonsense. Warlock will be a great and needed addition - IF that don't release him in that stupid Infinity Wars costume. Give him his original classic costume, or at worst his 2nd costume when they added the cape. I won't be buying any Infinity Warlocks. Mandarin is a much needed character, and I have been arguing for years to the crowd that falls for the silly urban myth/meme that he is somehow "offensive". However, if they give him green skin it's a fail. And I don't see how they release him in that green skirt costume without destroying the articulation unless they give him a cloth skirt and I don't think that will look right. Give him his original or 2nd classic costume and you get a sale from me. But overall, it looks to me like the ML line is dead, at least as far as I'm concerned. 2024 started out with a bang and then went straight to Hell in an Engine of Vengeance muscle car. Ok, rant over. The rain is ending, the sun's coming back out. Carry on with the parade! 😂😉
LOL, I hope you have a big umbrella! With your interest in ML waning, what else are you collecting these days?
5 місяців тому
I didnt read all you wrote 😂 but i agree they make too much of the same characters but i understand some people must like buying them . Im with you on making more stuff we never saw before since i collect more villians than heros so i save a lot of money on legends . Im definitely old school with a one and done philosphy ( is that old school or just me ? ) but hey thats more i can spend somewhere else .
@@LylesFigureFiles Oh Jeffrey, I need a beach umbrella these days! LOL! So I've been looking at other lines to find characters compatible with ML. For example, I got a 6 pack of the Spero (or is it Spiro?) Animal Kingdom figures to use as New Men for the High Evolutionary and I think they fill the role perfectly! They really look great! I've also been looking at a handful of Mythic Legions warrior figures that can work as Asgardian extras and there are maybe 5 or 6 I've seen that would probably work well. I'll probably buy myself a couple of them for Xmas to go along with the new Odin. So that'll be cool. And recently I picked up an Airbender figure, one of the McFarlane alien looking characters and Etrigan (McFarlane) to use as extradimensional magicians who serve Dormammu. Traditionally, Ditko drew all sorts of weird villains like that, so I just ignore who they are (like Etrigan) and use them as those extradimensional characters. Some of them have that Ditko look. I saw an interview with Dan Yun the other day and he hinted that Hasbro is going to be working on completing teams, and with Lockjaw and Crystal coming out, I'm REALLY hoping they are least release Triton, Gorgon, Maximus, and a new body for Blackbolt. I make it easy for Hasbro to regain my good graces! LOL!!
Yeah, I write novels, sorry. LOL! But I don't mind them making some variants of the same characters - the operative word being "some". And the problem I have is that they keep releasing the same 4-5 characters over and over at the expense of characters yet to be made. Characters who are major players and who are classics. Where is Baron Mordo? Original costumed Wonderman? The rest of the Inhumans? We're only missing 1 herald of Galactus - Gabriel the Airwalker (my 2nd fave next to Firelord). Where are the Warriors Three, who were co-stars in 90% of all Thor comics? Where is Balder, Heimdall, etc? So sure, make variants, but not at the expense of unreleased classic characters. And no more 2-packs where one is an already released character. Make them make sense. Swordsman and Mantis are a logical 2-pack that I doubt anyone (not even I) would complain about.
I’m really hoping that we’ll get a Marvel Legends Werewolf By Night figure.
I wonder if his weird articulation is holding them back...like he's always hunched over, so they want to design it around that...🤔. We deffo want him though.
I'm surprised we haven't seen him yet.

@@Banterbear Yeah, I’m sure that could be remedied with just giving him some real good ab-crunch like with some of the other figures they’ve done, but time will tell.
That Thanos and Psylocke 2 pack is an absolute W for me. I’ve been hoping for a new Thanos and for a new Psylocke.
Yeah, that could be a very fun two-pack!
Mandarin? MANDARIN! Oh I couldn't be anymore excited for a ML then having an absolute A-lister villain for the display. To scratch this character off my wish list is literally a huge relief as I never thought Hasbro would ever make one.

Yep, do not care about his name at all!
I think most people remember Charles in the jumpsuit from X-Men TAS.
Good point!
The Beast in human form
would be awesome .

Right on! We're finally getting a Husk figure! I'm stoked hearing that because I'm a Generation X original run fan.
Would that initial run make for a good Omnibus?
we've got the X-Factor Cyclops - retro wave 1
What if… we get a Sony Marvel wave:
Riot(Venom)-head
She Venom(Venom)-torso
Morbius(Morbius)-right arm
Milo(Morbius)-left arm
Shriek(Venom: Let There Be Carnage)-right leg
Kraven(Kraven the Hunter)-left leg

Im definitely looking forward to Professor X in the Hover Chair.. the O.G. version is VERY expensive on the aftermarket right now... also when they announced Punisher recently..i figured that Mandarin would be coming soon..lets face it Hasbro is a business & im happy that they realized it's good business to give the people what they want!
Also a Jim Starlin Warlock Pip the Troll 2 Pack would be amazing..& even tho i gave in & got the X Men 275 3 Pack Banshee off eBay..i got it for $22 so I'll definitely be picking up the OG green version 👑
Anyways Great video brother I'm looking forward to more of your Marvel Legends reviews 👑
Thanks so much Robert. I would be down for a Warlock and Pip two-pack!
OMG, Jeffrey! Some UA-cam channels have an explicit warning on them. This spisode should have come with a TAKE YOUR HEART PILLS BEFORE VIEWING warning!! What an exciting list!! I don't know which one to be most excited about... it all will come down to the "Wrong Costume" problem with which we are tortured by Dwight far too frequently in my view. Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I often find myself muttering, "Oh Dwight. Why did you put this character in that costume?!?" Bottom line? I reacted to none of these leaks with the thought "Pass." I'm gonna be all over these figs!! Thanks again, Jeffrey!! Now I gotta go change my pants...
LOL. It's a crazy amount of exciting figures. I hope we actually get most of them!
Out of what you mentioned, Stan the Janitor, Shuma Gorath, Juggernaut (favorite villain!), and Crossbones (if he isn't in his "wrestling" attire is what I'm most hyped for. Still holding out hope Razorfist eventually makes the cut.
I wish they'd done Razorfist when Shang-Chi came out. Seemed like the best opportunity for him.
@@LylesFigureFiles Agreed. I actually prefer his MCU look. He'd have been much better than Death Dealer, A.I. Stark or the Civil Warrior in that wave. As Marvel Comics Presents #1-10 cemented Wolverine as my favorite hero, I have a big soft spot for ol' Razorfist so I want his goofy comic look as well.
Pretty much every single reveal weve gotten lately has matched this list, cant wait to see it finished
It's so cool when that happens, right?
13:39 At first I thought you said Shuma Gorath was the temple guy _(and thought, 'no, that's capcom's darkstalkers')_ but maybe you knew he has the big eyeball and said he was the tentacle guy (next to Spider-Man in that pic and the character in the middle of the image at 15:25). Shuma gorath had multiple weird forms and attack shapes, I think he'd have to be a deluxe.
14:21 there are two types of wolverine they could do, as MvC2 haf both the bone claw option and adamantium.
I guess I'm more into a potential Marrow, as the other characters mentioned seem like there are already adequate alternatives in place. Now if the improvements far excel the former like Spiral, then I'm for it... just skeptical.
The main shortcomings of earlier releases are the lack of accessories to mimic their powers, especially when MvC2 did over the top illustrations of their power sets. I just imagined dhalsim arms for spiral 😳🤯
Was psylocke's buck in the recent 2pack that much better than the baf caliban wave?
18:03 an MvC2 character too 😉, along with 24:33
Oh yeah, bone claw Wolverine! Which Psylocke 2-pack? With Wolverine?
They did give Iron Man with the MvC cannon: amzn.to/4e0VA5z
@@LylesFigureFilesyeah, I was referring to that psylocke/wolverine 2pack you mentioned around the 14:45 mark and comparing that buck to the previously released psylocke that was a part of a baf wave (I erroneously wrote caliban, when she & her variant were actually in the apocalypse BAF wave). The older psylocke costumes matched MvC2 look, but they were using older female buck, so I'm not too confident in remolding the newer psylocke in that 2pack. (I personally got the 2pack as I felt she looked like a shi'ar character and could perhaps even be tweaked into lilandra's sister.
I ordered that ironman with proton cannon the same day they announced it on the pulse livestream. I subsequently got a 2nd after getting a custom cannon from an ebay seller so it could be given to war machine. But eventhough hasbro made the cannon, the blast effects for it were wholely underwhelming. Fortunately, I think a much better option is the air bubblewrap that's shaped like thin columns/tubes that could more adequately stand in as accessories to represent the lasers firing from the proton cannon.
21:08 Can someone explain why Uncle Sam is standing next to Mystique?
So that threw me off for a long time. Mystique is just rallying the anti-mutant crowd by turning into super patriotic Uncle Sam.
Lots of fun to look forward to. There is a Marvel Legends Daken
Yep. I was more saying we need an updated one.
I am MOST excited by the prospect of a Classic Banshee finally - but also excited for a Classic Adam Warlock, Moonstone as Ms. Marvel (give us a classic Carol alternate head and l'll buy two), Husk and Kaine. Shuma Gorah - yes please!
Yeah, I can definitely see them doing both heads, which would be a smart strategy in that case.
Really hoping that Crossbones is happening late '24 / Early '25. Been waiting on him since we got those leaks at the start of 2023!
Yeah, that set was rumored a minute ago so it should be up soon.
I think it would be smart to do a human beast because he could also be used to give us a first class look and then we just get the whole first class team. I can’t imagine that they won’t complete the rest of Gen X given that they’ve started us on that journey. I’d love to get new mutants and their original looks or their graduation looks. I think it’s smart to play on the nostalgia of 80s 90s readers and just give us all the looks of all the characters.
2024 has been a GREAT year for Marvel Legends, and it looks like the good vibes will continue in 2025. I’m down for Agent Venon, Ms. Marvel/Moonstone (PLEASE give her an extra 70s Carol Danver Ms. Marvel head. I’ll buy two!), Iron Man (still waiting for Heroes Reborn), Mandarin, Psylocke, Warlock (hoping for the original Starlin look, but okay with Infinity Gauntlet look), X-Force (sold off my originals), X-Factor, Husk (VERY high on my most wanted…love Paige), and Banshee. I would love a Marrow, so I hope she’s coming as well.
Yep. Some folks have been complaining about the line, but they've really been on a roll since mid-2023. The 2024 figures have largely been good to excellent and next year seems like some strong candidates too.
I bet they’ll use the new punisher body to make this agent venom it’s got the height and just general feel of a military type character. I think they’re also going to give us a more retro punisher on that same body with the white boots. Maybe it’ll even be in a retro Spider-Man car back packaging so it doesn’t feel like just a boot swap.
I wonder how many new figures we'll see using this Punisher mold?
Exodus, Rachael Summers, Jack of Hearts and Phoenix 5
it’s crazy war machine was at Ollie’s for under 20!!!! glad I managed to get one.
And that was a great figure too!
Greetings! Sir Jeff, we have a Dakken. He was in the Return of the Marvel Legends Arnim Zola wave. There was even an unmasked variant. 🖖🏽
Thanks. I kept forgetting to say he needs an upgrade!
There’s still a few figures I still hope they make, Earth-X Wolverine(Fat Wolverine), a new Daken, Albert and Elsie Dee, Gateway, Werewolf by Night( Jake), Tusk, more Marvel zombies , more Venomized figures, Beast TAS, feral Wolverine
I agree with you
I hope we see Daken get an update soon.
A Bliss bonus head for Jean would be cool.
I didn't remember Bliss until you mentioned her. That would be a fun bonus. Wonder if the ML team would know her to include that head sculpt?
So, I'm hoping for a classic 1970s Punisher
If we get that, I can knock 3 off of my Bronze/Shooter Top 10 era Missing list
The main one for me though, Classic Valkyrie. That is sorely needed and a 1970s Falcon so I can close down that early Avengers line up.
Maaaan, I really want a Classic Valkyrie and Falcon now. They seem overdue at this point.
...agent venom and constrictor...ON SIGHT!
Constrictor is so ready for that upgrade!
The Fabian Cortez fig should come with an alternate head of other members of The Acolytes with swappable hands/arms....cause they wear the same uniform....just like they did with The New Mutants girls - Wolfsbane, Moonstar, and Karma
Good idea.
Great video! Please give us a new Ice Man. I hate the the retro card SO BAD I made my Toys R Us 3 pack phased Vision my Ice Man on display. Yes: I cut off the reto's belt. When they make a viable Ice Man, im turning retro into battle damaged Silver Surfer.
Thanks so much. We desperately need a better Iceman!
I'm still hoping for the comic book Black Order.
I'd like to see them too.
To be fair Blue Beast is expensive hopefully he's in 97 wave 3
I'd be shocked if he's not in Wave 3 or 4.
I wondered if we'll get an updated Mary jane Watson and Gwen Stacy figures soon?
@@edrianraneses5864 maybe in 2027 or 2028?
@@jonny.prime.the.collector that is too damn long why not next year or so? Hmm?
What mold would you want to see for them?
@@LylesFigureFiles like the updated Black Widow to be specific for them and plus Gwen Stacy should have a soft goods coat and skirt too the next time we get her again but for MJ well I can guess is that it could be the updated classic 616 or the new ultimate 6160 version we might get?
@@edrianraneses5864 I think they're still a little hesitant to go soft goods for all the characters. I don't know if they would do that for Gwen or MJ while they're pushing Spider-Gwen.
There was also rumors on another UA-cam channel that another X-Men fox legacy wave featuring Storm, Cyclops, and X3 Jean Grey, taking it with a pinch of salt but I hope it's true, I need them so bad 😩🤞🏻
Hopefully for you that isn't just a rumor :-)
We need an OG Betsy Braddock/Psylocke figure. Be it Outback Armour, Classic Pink Jumpsuit or Asrar Disassembled.
Oh, and the Neal Adams era Original X-MEN. I want a furless Beast. But I guess we might get that with an X-Factor vrelease.
I'd love to get both versions of early Betsy -- pink jumpsuit and her armored look!
Put me down for those Neal Adams looks too!
Great job, sir
Thank you so much for the kind words. Have a great day!
I need that Professor X, since I missed the last one and prices or out the roof. I need that Warpath and Arcangel, the chameleon and Psylocke. Whoa boy my pockets will be hurting.
Yours won't be the only one with these reveals!
For me im mostly interested in MVC venom because he'll be blue. I LOVE blue venom. I grew up with him on MVC2 and the PS1 spiderman game. Ill make up some lore in my collection that Venom changed his color from black to blue to appear more friendly as an anti-hero. I even have my spidey collection organized in shelves: Spiderman and his allies/costumes and variants, and on the other his villains. Blue venom would absolutely go on the ally shelf. Sorry im rambling ive just been wanting a blue venom for ages
I'd imagine they would be happy to do a blue Venom eventually.
Not gonna hold my breath for the MVC wave, but if it should come to fruition, I hope they make Capcom characters, a deluxe MVC styled Sentinel and Marrow would be awesome as well.
I don't think they can make the Capcom figures since Jada is doing them.
@LylesFigureFiles If they can't this whole endeavor is pointless and honestly on them since the last time they claimed to be making an MVC line they made 3 3/4 scale. Such a wasted opportunity. Got my 🍒 pickin 🧺 ready.
It reads more like a wishlist. I hope it's true.
Exodus and the Acolytes for an Asteroid M display. 🙏
That really would be cool especially if we get some of the more unique Acolytes!
If this list is true we have some hot stuff on the way for 2025 can't wait
If half the list pans out it's going to be major!
Mvc line would be craaaaazy
Yeah it would!
Completely off topic, but are those trading cards in the frame behind you? I’m looking for a good trading card display. Thanks!
It's a poster where the various Star Wars movie posters kinda look trading card size.
@@LylesFigureFiles Ah, shoot! I’m looking for something to display some cards like that. Cool poster though.
Well they be Robbie Reyes or Cosmic Ghost Rider?
But I'm getting Warpath & X-23 2 pack and Psylocke & Thanks 2 Pack both W's.
Not sure which GR yet.
A lot of the figures in this leak don’t appeal to me personally, but I’m glad that others are excited. Banshees, Adam Warlock, and the Mandarin are must-buys. I would prefer the Adam Warlock from Jim Starlin’s run pre-Infinity Gauntlet, but I’ll take either one. Oh, and Shuma-Gorath is definitely appealing depending on how he looks. I always kind of wanted a big HasLab version.
Maybe they can put out Shuma-Gorath in the new HasLab-less model?
@@LylesFigureFiles Hmm... I'd be cool with that.
There’s was another leak suggest spirit spider from ps4 spiderman game.
I heard that!
Man I just want a deadpool 2 sleeveless juggernaut.
They seem focused on getting the Fox characters done so maybe there's a chance.
Kaine!! Finally, been waiting years, hopefully they use a good large n mobile body
I hope so! Would the Spidey UK mold work?
@@LylesFigureFiles noo, they if anything could go for the comic venom mold, or the young Thor buck w butterfly shoulders, UK is max 6'3" w narrow shoulders, Kaine was 6'4" w wide shoulders
@@Kaine2099 We do need a Thor mold with butterfly shoulders for sure!
USAgent is on the Bucky Cap body, so while I agree with which Agent you think it is, I think they could be upgrading his body. He SHOULD be bigger than Steve Rogers.
He's on a different mold than the Bucky Cap mold, but yeah he could use a larger mold.
@@LylesFigureFiles You're right - it's the old Capwolf era Cap mold. My bad. They don't give Captain America butterfly joints for some reason.
Marvel superheroes game 2 packs look forward too and professor x
There's some intriguing figures announced for sure!
If they’re going to get into MvC, I want Shuma Gorath.
He makes sense for a standalone deluxe figure.
I wonder if hasbro decided to make a three pack with Ellie Rogers, ian Rogers, and hydra venom
No word on that yet.
I know that but I hope because it is part of the secret wars from 2015
Man it’s a shame I need to start selling older figures to make space,I ‘m no longer gonna buy complete waves I don’t need all this stuff I just need first time characters, i still can’t find a Warbird, or Wreckage, what is the discord name I heard you mention on the last stream.Kane Mandarin is a get, Shuma Garth is a Get, if they did Lady Thanos I’d get other wise it’s a pass.
Are you getting rid of figures that got updates or just figures you don't like anymore?
Lady Thanos would be fun too!
Here's the discord link: discord.gg/AS38Tdux
Would like to see a new classic avalanche, with a bigger body as he appears in the comics the last one the body type didn’t match that of the comics
Agreed. Which mold would make the most sense for him?
Excited for Mystique, Banshee and possibly the X-Factor pair...might hold off until I know they are doing the whole team though, otherwise what's the point😬.
The rest is a bit meh for me but I'm more of a silver age/80s buyer, which is fine for my wallet 😌👍
ETA; oh yeah, The MarvelvsCapcom packs sounds fun too. I wish they could get a limited license to include some of the Capcom side, that would be amazing. Although I still hate double packs in general...heres one character you really want, heres one we're forcing you to get to have them.
Exactly. We need a full X-Factor team. Not a mismatched squad.
Beast in human form would be awesome .
We need this whole team .
A box set would make sense .
When a box set makes sense Hasbro does not do it .
Why can't tney offer both ?
I hope they will knock out an X-Factor box set soon. That would make for a lot of sense.
I’m really stoked for the Shuma Gorath figure.
That could be a fun figure!
Guess Rektangular is gunna have to apply for EI this year, fresh out of work lol
Rektangular will no doubt have more scoops for us to break down later :-)
The Punisher War machine was too dainty. I just put in a pre-order for the SENTINEL version. They run about 7" so it should be in scale proper.
Very skinny. Think they've fixed that issue with the more recent Iron Man figures.
About time they made 90s Kaine, been waiting forever.
Nice! Always good to hear folk's long-time wants get made!
I just wish that Hasbro would realize that Spider-Man is not the only Hero, they could be making more instead of the Hero's over an over, im just saying my opinion
Opinions are always welcome here. He's their big seller so it makes sense they'll keep pumping out his figures.
Several I will buy, but no 'Holy Grails'! I think I only had 2 or 3 'Grails' in 2024. I'm beginning to lose hope that I will ever have my 'Complete' Collection. I'm down to only 13 but they just don't come out. My 'Holy Grails';
Warriors Three
Wrecking Crew
Comics Swordsman and Mantis
Hephzibah and Raza of the Starjammers
Techno/Fixer
Atlas
Of course there are more that I would buy, but those are my only must haves.
I gotta figure Hepzy and Raza would be a two-pack. That info doesn't seem to get linked as often.
I feel like there are waaaay too many redos or different versions of figures we just got. Hate to be negative, but there is just so much we need that we have no represetation of. But there are a few bright spots for sure.
Mandarin!!!!! I barely care which look, as long as its not just a dude in a suit. I want some robes up in here!
Banshee better come with a screaming head and a first appearance head with the metal tiara.
Warlok should be cool. Chameleon, cool. I was just talkin about the need for battle damaged heroes, especially Spidey since he always gets his butt handed to him.
X Factor is exciting, but i wish we had confirmation on human look Beast and a quick repaint of Angel.
Crazy if we get a Ms Marvel look Moonstone before a Danvers! Kind of a slap in the face!
I wonder if those X Men figs will be a baf of the Hoverchair or if that will be deluxe and theres a baf to be excited about.
It's a comment section. I'm used to folks sharing their disappointments.
Their attention span on team shifts from year to year so that would explain why we get Moonstone Ms. Marvel before Carol.
@@LylesFigureFiles 🤣🤣🤣
I try not to be a huge whiner.
Exodus & Graviton please hasbro and the X-Men 2099 team
I'd love to see Exodus. He's got a cool look.
I see a couple i have been looking to buy like punisher war machine and crossbones so i may hold up before buying the old ones ,but price will be a factor . I will stick with the marvel select arcangel for now depending on how the legends look . Other than those i didnt see anything else i need to have
Price is always the killer at times, isn't it?
@@LylesFigureFiles yes
Still waiting on Ferrell for my xforce team
Yeah, I'm surprised we didn't get an immediate Feral after they revealed Wolfsbane.
Cavilrine comes here?
We need an exodus figure
I was asking for the 2 packs of mvc and people told me it's not gonna happen. Smdh
People outside of Hasbro are just speculating. Keep hope alive for your wish list figures!
Laura has so many sick costumes it'd be a shame if they just keep recycling the old shiny crop top.
I really liked her Wolverine costume figure a lot more than I expected I would.
Buen trabajo 👍
Appreciate it my friend!
I need quite a bit of these figures I can not wait but no deadpool 3 figures
This is just a leaked list. They will definitely be doing more Deadpool and Wolverine figures.
@@LylesFigureFiles hopefully and hopefully more Xmen 97
@@Marvelfan-b9e Those are definitely coming too.
AT LAST Moonstone Ms Marvel, and MVC?!
We're close to finishing up the Dark Avengers!
I don't think they are going to make another war machine punisher I have a feeling that this punisher figure that we are getting comes from what if #29 what if captain America formed the avengers
I'll be interested to see if your prediction comes true!
@@LylesFigureFiles or it could be Nigel Higgins outlaw
Marvel Capcom has to be all new sculpts and articulation to complement Jada Street Fighter, I'm not interested in anything less.
Marvel Legends has been around too long to try and complement the Jada figures.
They better throw in a screaming Siryn head with that Banshee
LOL if only.
Obviously for me that thanos 2 pack. You wore me out here Jeffrey.
I wonder if there was a communication mishap and it's not Thanos but Lady Thanos since she was in the game too?
@@LylesFigureFiles that would also be cool
Really want a new beta ray bill
Me too!
Need. Human form Bobby Drake
We really do!
That's Elixir not Cypher.
Ah. Thank you!
I don't have that Avalanche. That figure is terrible. The articulation is nonexistent, the headsculpt was bag on head hideous. I had it for a week or two and then traded it. Avalanche deserved better.
He did. That was such an odd execution of a guy I always thought would make for a great figure.
I don't collect legends because it's a money pit I would however buy a legacy set if it was Wesley snipe's blade 2005 FF 2000 X-Men films and maybe guardians of the galaxy 69 team
I don't know any line at this point that's not a money pit ;-)
SPM, and villains are all welcome. Best of the list is Chameleon. I could live without everything else. I’m really over Marvel Legends. It’s not an exciting line, or fandom the apathy for the line and the company isn’t inspiring.
I'm really interested in how they do Chameleon.
As my name indicates, I grew up in the earliest years of Marvel. So I guess the role of the "cranky old man" is assigned to me. Watch out parade, here comes the rain! LOL! If this is the crap Hasbro is putting out in 2025, then 2025 is the year ML died and I won't be collecting them anymore. Look! More Wolverine variants! Look! More Iron Man variants! Look! More Spiderman variants! There are literally thousands of cool Marvel characters they've never made, but instead Hasbro just keeps churning out remakes and variants of the same damned characters - over and over and over again. It's ridiculous. You know what? I wish Hasbro would set aside 2025 as the Year of the Remakes and release NOTHING BUT Wolverine, Deadpool, Spiderman, and Iron Man variants. 20 variants of each character, at least. Maybe 30 releases of each. Churn out the same old character over and over and over again all year until you get as sick of making them as fans are of buying them. Just get it out of your system so we can get back to some ORIGINAL releases of much-wanted, much-needed characters.
Chameleon is a classic character, and while I like his cartoon costume visually, it's ridiculous for the theme of the character. It makes no sense. Plus, he's yet another character who's already been released. And now all these female variants of make characters? Not into that nonsense. Warlock will be a great and needed addition - IF that don't release him in that stupid Infinity Wars costume. Give him his original classic costume, or at worst his 2nd costume when they added the cape. I won't be buying any Infinity Warlocks. Mandarin is a much needed character, and I have been arguing for years to the crowd that falls for the silly urban myth/meme that he is somehow "offensive". However, if they give him green skin it's a fail. And I don't see how they release him in that green skirt costume without destroying the articulation unless they give him a cloth skirt and I don't think that will look right. Give him his original or 2nd classic costume and you get a sale from me.
But overall, it looks to me like the ML line is dead, at least as far as I'm concerned. 2024 started out with a bang and then went straight to Hell in an Engine of Vengeance muscle car.
Ok, rant over. The rain is ending, the sun's coming back out. Carry on with the parade! 😂😉
LOL, I hope you have a big umbrella! With your interest in ML waning, what else are you collecting these days?
I didnt read all you wrote 😂 but i agree they make too much of the same characters but i understand some people must like buying them . Im with you on making more stuff we never saw before since i collect more villians than heros so i save a lot of money on legends . Im definitely old school with a one and done philosphy ( is that old school or just me ? ) but hey thats more i can spend somewhere else .
@@LylesFigureFiles Oh Jeffrey, I need a beach umbrella these days! LOL! So I've been looking at other lines to find characters compatible with ML. For example, I got a 6 pack of the Spero (or is it Spiro?) Animal Kingdom figures to use as New Men for the High Evolutionary and I think they fill the role perfectly! They really look great!
I've also been looking at a handful of Mythic Legions warrior figures that can work as Asgardian extras and there are maybe 5 or 6 I've seen that would probably work well. I'll probably buy myself a couple of them for Xmas to go along with the new Odin. So that'll be cool.
And recently I picked up an Airbender figure, one of the McFarlane alien looking characters and Etrigan (McFarlane) to use as extradimensional magicians who serve Dormammu. Traditionally, Ditko drew all sorts of weird villains like that, so I just ignore who they are (like Etrigan) and use them as those extradimensional characters. Some of them have that Ditko look.
I saw an interview with Dan Yun the other day and he hinted that Hasbro is going to be working on completing teams, and with Lockjaw and Crystal coming out, I'm REALLY hoping they are least release Triton, Gorgon, Maximus, and a new body for Blackbolt. I make it easy for Hasbro to regain my good graces! LOL!!
Yeah, I write novels, sorry. LOL! But I don't mind them making some variants of the same characters - the operative word being "some". And the problem I have is that they keep releasing the same 4-5 characters over and over at the expense of characters yet to be made. Characters who are major players and who are classics. Where is Baron Mordo? Original costumed Wonderman? The rest of the Inhumans? We're only missing 1 herald of Galactus - Gabriel the Airwalker (my 2nd fave next to Firelord). Where are the Warriors Three, who were co-stars in 90% of all Thor comics? Where is Balder, Heimdall, etc? So sure, make variants, but not at the expense of unreleased classic characters. And no more 2-packs where one is an already released character. Make them make sense. Swordsman and Mantis are a logical 2-pack that I doubt anyone (not even I) would complain about.
