I am definitely going to be going for this one, It's been long over due that we got a Mar-Vell figure, the only sole gripe I have is I do wish the blue paint was non-metallic and matched the Carol fig more, but this is just a minor thing

Thats definitely my biggest gripe is the hair. It looks goofy af and despite even the tb head looking alittle weird, their hair was on point with how hes supposed to look. The lack of any real details or anything special to whats already a kind of generic design with no extras really hurts this fig imo.
Hasbro shoulda used the Sunfire buck & gave him an alternate head sculpt, extra hands & photon blast effects. Still getting him but this wave seems phoned in as was the laughable Kree BAF figure.
I agree with this 100%
the head is a little off IMO, I dont know if its the really long Eyes or the hair, dont get me wrong Im still liking the update of the figure but I think the toybiz headsculpt was a bit more similar to the comicbook art.

Now if we could just get a classic or dark Ms. Marvel

They should've given him butterfly joints...this at least allows you to simulate clanging the Nega-Bands together(which on this figure, look too big)...they at least should've made the gold/yellow paint more vibrant.
The red of the outfit could also have been more vibrant. I can tell from the lighting used in the above pics that the red is too dull. And then there's the boots. Painted on pointed tops, AGAIN....so lazy! Look, we know Hasbro can do boots well (Omega Red, Mysterio, Shatterstar, Iron Man) so I cant get why they keep dropping the ball here. Captain Marvel's boots were segmented. We know they can do this because they did it with Angela (remember her? She was supposed to be the Next Big Thing. They sure went all out for her figure) but they didn't bother with Mar-Vell.
I would also have loved to see some special effects included for him. His cosmic photon flying trail would've been nice, along with extra hands, fists, and another head. I'm glad the figure's coming, but sure wish theyd shown some more love for it.
Very excited to get this figure...I started into the AVENGERS around the "Korvac Saga" where Captain Marvel rescues Wanda from falling to her death. Then the Graphic Novel about his death...I really grew to love the character.
Now with Empyre dropping his importance in the Marvel Universe is once again at the forefront.
When the toybiz version of him came out, I really didnt care for the character or anything but had to have that modok piece. After getting him, I was super happy with him and loved it up until the new hasbro era of legends. I ended up selling him hoping hasbro would make a better version of him. Im sad to say I really dont dig their version here. He was already a very generic character but they just didnt add any real spice to him and feels kind of phoned in just as a placeholder figure and one that people can be like yep finally got a mar vell hasbro edition. I dont really know what it is because the toybiz version wasnt exactly anything to call home about either.
It's okay. Looks very generic but I've never been a fan of Mar-Vell
