I did some researching and found out why Scarlet Witch is hated so much...Apparently the protos had slightly different body with larger arms and legs, but they ended up just reusing a Mystique body with sculpted gloves which gives her a teenage appearance with a large head. The original body looks more womanly and has shape more like Wanda. Although she does have some freckles throughout her entire face(especially the forehead) but its not really noticeable enough to consider it a semi-beard. On a slightly side note, did you know She was cancelled after the first shipment? She was pulled from the wave since ToyBiz thought she came out horribly, which is a big reason shes hard to come by. Cool displays, Insanity! Does the Black Panther figure come with that base he's on? I have him, but I forget because he's kind of buried in a box right now No, the base actually came from a LOTR Gollem fig. It even has a little rock button thats right under the ledge even with spider-womans boot that makes the base say "My precious" lol but the base does look very african jungle-ish. I also have a base under Scott and Jean that I took from one of my Mcfarlane dragons fig. I hope to get some more rocky bases and start up a mini diorama of either a rocky terrain or Mephisto's fiery realm(with some more MFDragon bases)

Ok I fianlly found the Rogue and Gambit Superhero Squad figures and Rogue looks awesome but Gambit on the other hand is looking a bit african american, it's odd because the prototype of him looked normal.

I haven't seen anything new with MLs in a while. Still no Rachel Summers. I'm thinking that from now on I need to preorder things that I want at online stores, even if they're at ass-raping prices.

Same here Rogue. I can't even find Rachel at a good price online though either. Who are you still trying to find besides her? I can try and pick you up ones you can't find if I find them.

Thanks for the offer Right now, she's the only one I've been looking for. But I'll keep an eye out for her if I see more than one.

Cool, I'm gonna change the title of this thread to "Marvel Figures" that way we can talk about all of the different kinds of Marvel figures and not just the Marvel Legends.

Oh I meant to post here a while ago...but I found a rachel summers black variant...is anyone interested in her. She is not backwards FYI. I was going to customize her and then realized she was a chase figure. She is still in her package. Just let me know. I am trying to find a regular one too. Well keep my eye out. I got a Colossus as well...weeee. I hope they make an X3 Kitty Pryde now...

Ok I'm so excited I just had to post. I was out shopping today and after 3 stores and not finding anything to buy I decided that I was going to go home, so on the way home I thought hey why don't I just stop at Wal-Mart and see if the have any of the Marvel Legends I don't have So I'm walking down the toy aisle and out of the corner of my eye I see... Marvel Girl!!! I was so excited I think I actually pushed past someone to grab her lol. Unfortuanly they only had one otherwise I would've picked up a couple for y'all.

I picked up Diamond Emma, Quicksilver, and Thor yesterday
Diamond Emma actually manages to be one of my favourite MLs, which is odd considering regular Emma is my of my most disliked. Apart from the "diamondness" making her a little better looking, It helps that I got a really nice one, whereas my regular Emma had very warped legs and a crappy paintjob.
Quicksilver again manages to be one of my favourites, even though hes quite dull. He suits the Hasbro (lack of) paint job. I had a bit of trouble trying to pose him with his clickly joints, and his chest is very loose, but now that Ive gotten him how I want him Im trying to make sure I dont move him too much.
I cant get over how big Thor is. Hes about the same height as Collossus and Venom, but hes very bulky. He looks fantastic, and I like the fact that hecomes with not one but two! weapons. One thing that really annoys me about him though is his arm joints. He has these great weapons, but cant really wave them about much. Still, great figure. Ill post photos later (thought I know most people have seen or got these figures already)

Well, I lucked out and found a Rachel Summers tonight at a Walmart! There was only one, otherwise I would have picked up any more for you guys I haven't opened her yet, as I'm waiting to see if I can find at least one more. The paint apps are a little messy on the one I found... not so bad that I couldn't keep her, but if I find another I'll open the better looking of the two.

Also ordered Savage Land from SDCC. Now I have paid little attention to HML since I saw figures like Emma Frost & X3 Jean...but this set is actually pretty damn good. Especially Shanna! I don't know the characters at all...but a 3 pack of 2 nearly naked jungle folk with a giant sabre toothed cat, how could I resist that? ;D I just wish there was some sites where people had scanned their old comics so they could be read online.

I saw this in Forbidden Planet at the weekend, shame it was priced at £53! Had to seriously tear myself away from it, one of the only Hasbro ML items I have sorely wanted bah.

I re-signed up for eBay several months ago, with the main intention of finding the 'Backstreet Boys' versions of Ice-man & Angel from XMC. Finally I have them: There are still plenty of figures I would like from XMC, though I'm a little pissed they didn't make a Jean, & the one they planned to include was just the bloody ML version.
