    Marvel Legends Retro 3 3/4 inch series 2

    They look great.

    Hasbro has sent through information on the next wave of Marvel Legends Retro 3.75 figures today, and first up is none other than Carol Danvers! She comes packed like the previous wave (which we looked at here) featuring simplified 3.75 articulation and sculpt, a "what if" scenario showing what Kenner / Hasbro would have done...
    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...

    Oh wow, nice! Now I kinda wish these were exactly Secret Wars size. Hulk and the Human Torch were sorely missed in that line.

      Are there only 4 in wave 2? Hulk is interesting, Marvel and Torch look great!

              I want to see Captain America next to the redo G.I. Joe lineup to get a better idea of scale.

                Does anyone know whether any of these Marvel Legends Retro figures will be available in stores? And if so, when?

                I'd really like to get Wave 1, but as I'm in Canada, I'm hesitant to order from the Hasbro Pulse site and get hit with large shipping and customs fees.

                Thanks!

                  Any reason they are blowing Carol Danvers cover on the card? They can't call her Captain Marvel? Like in her MOVIE???

                    To answer a couple of questions in this thread: They have only shown the four figures for wave 2 so far. Not sure if there will be others in wave 2. I believe they said these will be available at Target in March and from other retailers starting in April.

                        Based on that costume, they could have called her either Ms. Marvel or Warbird.

                          I think they didn't want to call her Captain Marvel, because she didn't wear that costume with that name. Call her Ms. Marvel and you confuse her with Kamala Khan. Call her Warbird...and basically no one remembers that. Carol Danvers is a name used in the movie and Endgame (Captain America refers to her as "Danvers"), so it's a bit clunky, but makes sense.

                          And I think "Shart Hulk" was because Shartimus Prime was the one who got to reveal it? But I would imagine there's a lot of sharting involved with "stupid" Hulk.

                            So I guess people point to the sky and say... "Look there goes Carol Danvers!!"

                              Thanks for the info, I appreciate it! I look forward to seeing these in stores.
