DCU Classics VS Marvel Legends

[stevenlore]

haven't seen Deadpool/warpath

[starsky]

did you see the deadpool/warpath set? i need one of those!!

[ScottA]

I finally saw what you guys have been talking about today at TRU. The Val/Hulk set looked really good. Also saw both versions of Black Widow (black suit and gray suit).

[stevenlore]

i picked up Val and Hulk the other day. My only gripe, Hulk's head is a wee bit small.

[starsky]

i think he's almost as big as the hulk figure.

[BlackKnight]

I got my Warpath Today.
This figure is Fantastic.
Gotta be the Nicest Hasbro Marvel Legend since Ares imo.
He's Big too ..., as Big as Ares. Nice Sculpt, His Knives are get, and fit into a Pounch in his back on his Belt. Great stuff.

So I got X-23 ..., X-Force Wolvie, and Domino ..., I hope they make an X-Force Arc Angel , That would Rock..., a Vanisher and Elixer would be neat too.

I really liked the Toy Biz marvel legends. I have a bunch of those from back in the day. I remember when Marvel switched over to Hasbro, I couldn't get over how ugly they had become. I don't see them in stores anymore. I just assumed they gave up for the 3 3/4 line of figures which are really nice but I don't buy because I don't collect Marvel much anymore. I have Spider-man and Iron Man. I wanted Archangel but I didn't end up seeing him in stores. Unless he's not out yet...

[BlackKnight]

I thought these were 30 ..., When I passed last weekend and saw Val ...
DCU 2 packs are 30, and DCU vs MOTU are 30 ..., thats why they are 30.

Still waiting for my Figures to come in the mail.
Unless you want Deadpool ..., The rest of them seem to go for 15to20 all day long on Ebay loose.

over here in san fran bay area, they're selling at tru for 29.99! they were only $25 couple weeks ago.

[Thor]

I saw the the Val/Hulk pack today and noticed they are almost $10 more than they were previously. I.. have a problem with that but it's worse because I wish val and Winter Soldier were in the same pack. I really don't need another Hulk figure, especially at that price. I guess I'll have to hunt a loose Val down online.

DCUC have better proportions, because they standardized the sculpts. Marvel's sculpts were all over the place, and the ball jointed shoulders and hips always looked awful.

Hasbro tried to do some damage control when they took over, and we did get a very good Daredevil out of the deal, but the damage is done. I think ML, by comparison, fail miserably.

[BlackKnight]

i think hasbro has improved since their first wave.

I agree.
I also think they Got some real Jems in thier line too .

Fing Fang Foom

I think the DC line is best, the woman look much better, plus there's the stadning without falling thing

I had the whole Marvel Legends line untill they started doing reissues of characters. By the time Hasbro got them i was tired. I think the only Hasbro i bought was Kirby Captain America. Sentinel didnt look like a sentinel. Galactus was awesome.

What i liked was there were so many things in the same scale. i used a LOAD of Wrestling gear for break apart furniture, sets, and teh Muppets Pigs n Space Bridge. And teh ET reissue movie figures made a great Van that suits The Punisher fine.

But the poseablity got to the point that they werr like rubber bands. Floppy. It had to start somewhere. Toys have improved learned.

I have heard since Legends started that DC Direct was teh line to watch for long term value. I only had a couple and they broke. ( Dark Knight, Gotham by Gaslight)

The DCU figures were not tempting untill I started to see characters like Vigilante and Dr Midnite. But they are too articulated and i dont like teh frankenstien look anymore.

And I have never liked Mattel . Not the biggest DC fan either. Outside of the War and Horror stuff.
