Marvel Legends Fantastic Four

Marvel Legends Fantastic Four

Hasbro Marvel Legends Fantastic Four



This 8 figure set, along with a corresponding 8 figure Spiderman 3 movie set, hit retail shelves approximately four weeks ago. Normally I try to discuss new toys as soon as possible, but in this instance, I made an exception. You see, this wave was my personal favorite from Comicon this year. Sure, I 'm very excited about lots of other products coming out, like Mattel's DC line, but I'm a Fantastic Four fan, and a Silver Surfer buff, so I wanted to spend some extra time with these, and give them a fair once over. There's been a lot of controversy surrounding Hasbro's handling of the Marvel Legends Line, and to be fair, they've had their ups & downs. Each line has represented improvement, and true to form, the FF line is their best offering to date. Is there room for improvement? You betcha. Here in this review, I'm going to break down the strenghts, weaknesses, and my thoughts. In the end, only you can vote with your hard earned dollars.

MCFARLANE'S ANIMATED SPAWN & ROBOCOP

have more McFarlane for you to check out and even more after this! Today I have Series 2 of the Animated Spawn figures. This is a much better series then what we previously were treated to. Better sculpts, paint and character selection. I particularly like the Tremor figure. I also have the 3d Robocop Wall Art. This is really an outstanding 3D poster. I have it hanging up in my office.

BENT CARD BLUES! (Jerks in the aisles!)

Umpire writes: I visited my local TRU this afternoon looking to see if there was anything new on the Star Wars rack, when I found some gold coin figures from the first wave of the TAC (the first ones I have seen,) and all the cards corners were bent!

Sure, this is a little thing, but let’s look at it a little closer. Someone picked up the cards, and didn’t buy them, but defaced them so another collector wouldn’t get a unspoiled backer card. See this wouldn’t hurt a kid who is just going to rip open the package, it goes against the adult collector. I don’t get it. Is this the modern day equivalent of Robin Hood, but in this case he’s keeping toys available for little kids? Making toys unattractive to collectors that would value a straight card back?

These are Star Wars toys, and the days are over when anyone thinks he is going to sell off his collection and send their kid to a fine Ivy League school.

So, there is no profit motive in defacing the card. Nobody is going to think your fresh from the case figure is going to become harder to find and thus be worth more. The only guy getting hurt is a fellow collector. One that places value on an mint card because he wants it. Not for what it’s worth on the secondary market. So, it’s a little creepy to be such a worthless pig as to negatively impact some guy who’s only sin is that he collects toys and buys mint cards...

It’s not just general assholery, it’s just plain evil.
