    Those are SOOOOO good.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          I just saw these this morning as well! Man, the card art is really nice and the figures look great! Kind of Secret Wars like, but even more appealing as far as I’m concerned.

          I’m so curious as to how they will handle The Hulk or The Thing!
          Expectation is the death of discovery.

            Yes, will it just be unique legs for each with painted rock details or more original sculpting?

            Ach, I'm alreading imagining Daredevil in this format.

              Looks as though the gloved hands plug into the forearms to accommodate various gauntlet styles.

                    There is just a smidge of Super Powers in the mix too, which makes sense. just imagine Kenner going Marvel instead of DC and eschewing a gimmick, and sticking with their Star Wars scale.

                    i love these!

                      These are EXACTLY what I wanted in a super hero line!! I'm all in for these!

                      Those cards look eerily similar to what I designed earlier this year...it's like they read my mind!

                        I just ordered these today actually, I can't afford all of these new toys but this just really hooked me.
                        I concur with what some of you were saying earlier, the first thing I thought was that it was a nice cross between various styles from late 70's Pocket Heroes to Secret Wars to even the early ToyBiz stuff, albeit better looking in my opinion.
                        Already looking forward to seeing where they go next with this line.

                            I got the Cap and Black Panther set, and this is the nicest action figure packaging I have seen in a LONG time. I really dig Super 7's Universal Monsters packaging with those wonderful paintings, but the combination of art and design on these new Marvel figures is second to none.

                            The only downer is my Cap has some extra flesh paint glop on the bridge of his cowl, and one blue mark on the white wring of his shield. But I'm not opening these anyhow, since the packaging is so gorgeous.

                              I finally managed to find some of these in the wild. We went up to visit my wife's folks this morning and stopped in their local Walmart on the way back. No luck with Megos there (they had 3, 2 Saru and a beat up Mummy), but I did find a handful of the Marvel Legends retro 3.75 figures. I picked up these two:



                              The had a couple more Iron Mans and one Electro, but he's not one I wanted, so I left it for someone who did.
