not sure how many ml collecters we have here, but it is a popular line.
do you prefere the hasbro or toy biz figures?
the last few toy biz (modok, mojo,) series were awful imo and i think a change was necessary. although hasbro hasn't done a great job, i think they do some nice work too, if i was a hulk fan i would've been all over the fin fang foom series.

ToyBiz's Figures were Much Better, And Thier BAF Peices over all were Much Better offering's than Hasbro. Hasbro Did Bounce Back with Ares, Red Hulk and Fin Fang Foom, however for the Most Part the Rest of the Figures in the Line Kinda Blew. I think they Knew that, their sales were down, and extremely down compaired to ToyBiz, SO they made the Switch to the 3&3.4 inchers,.. because they have Ruled that Scale from Joe to Star Wars for Many, Many Years.

Hasbro's last offerings in the 6to 8 inch scale are mostly Exclusive stores only,.. or 2 Packs, that are still Exclusives.

I have Many, Many Marvel Legends.
Toy Biz Have the Better Characters...
But Hasbro's Bodies Don't Flop around like a Limp Whatever after playing with them either.

I think My 2 Favorite Marvel Legends 2 this Day are the Sentinal,.. & Still the very 1st Captain America . My Favorite Hasbro Figure,.. Fin Fang Foom, or Ares.

The 1st time I scene the Toy Biz Marvel Legends ... Hulk , Cap & IronMan... I personally couldn't Believe my Eye's.. I saw them at Game Stop..., Bought all 3 of them,.. & was Literally like "Holy Crap" !!! .. I believe I also Did Crap Myself. But whether or not you wanna believe it,.. I personally believe that the Mid-Point Direction of Spawn Figures when the Horsemen were designing them, are Responsible for the Direction of Marvel Legends. Before Spawn Toys became "Mini-Statues" they were very, very Articulated, and ofcourse Well detailed. Toy Biz scene this..., & Finally decided to compete and Market thier Properties , something Fierce.

When half the Marvel Toy Biz Team went and Made the Indie- Figures... That Keown Pitt Figure is Incredible to say the Least.... so is the Stryker figure imo.

I liked the Mojo and Modok series... as far as they Finally gave characters like Wasp, Luke Cage, MoonKnight and Jessica Drew Spider Woman ..

The Sentinal Series started it all, and was a very Unique ( at the time Idea) ... You Definately gotta " Get them All" ..., if you want " THIS" . I Still think it's the Best BAF Piece ever Made. It's truely Stunning... and Huge. It Probably Weighs like 5 Pounds too.

When Toybiz stopped I stopped. Hasbro figures are lame. Favorite Toybiz figures for me are Juggernaut and the BAF Giant Man

Those are very good Too ! And so Very Hard to Get. Juggy was like 1 Per case.. and Like the case he came in, atleast around here,.. was very limited to shelf ordering and stocking, because it came out on top of the Previous Wave,.. and the Set after them came out on top of them too. & if you were Able to find The Giant Man Case at Walmart..., you had to get 9 Flipp'in Figures to Make the Guy. They even Seperated Like the Hands, from the Forearm/Bicepe to get him ! Lame-Arse..., But still an Awesome Piece.

i liked the first three series the best. i wish they made silver age villians like Attuma,Diablo, Executioner, Grey Gargoyle,klaw .

Thats funny BK, the first time I saw ML's was at Gamestop too. Same figures. lol I don't have tons of ML's like others, I have the face off Captain America and Hulk. I also have the BAF Red Hulk, which I really like. I saw in a pic at SDCC that there may be a green version of the Red Hulk body with a new head.

Here's the pic.

those are only prototypes that the fans got to choose from, not everyone is being made.

There's a Series I really cared Nothing for ..
Other than Namor and Mole Man, the rest of the Line was pretty Much Worthless, as well as The 3rd or 4th Figure of Most of the Characters. It was Heavy on the F4 Characters, because of the Movie, However most representations of the characters were the Worst Ones they had Made thus Far. Really Disapointed in that Line.

i'll agree the ff looked dreadful , doom and surfer have been done a dozen times. ronan looks cool, really didn't need to be a baf. like you said earlier i think hasbro only does two packs now, but if another series is release i think they need to do Thor characters.

I'd like somemore Dark Avengers... & The Complete New X-Force Group. I'd buy all of those.

possible, the legends line likes to mix the choice selection with the old and new style heroes, altho they don't really get either one right.

I'd also Buy the Star Jammer's with a Build a Figure Ch'od
