Marvel Legends Shang-Chi Wave Mr. Hyde Build-A-Figure Video Review And Images

Pretty pathetic when a customizer is making the Hyde the vast majority of us wanted.

True, Hyde has virtually nothing to do with Shang-Chi but then again, there's no rulethat these guys have that say one figure has to fit with another's normal 'hood; even if there was, they'd break it as much as they chose fit.There's no rule that says the BAF can't be a normal sized (or even undersized) figure either.

Trust me, I get it, we're used to these waves having some kind of theme in common and I think that's generally what they shoot for. But I wouldn't get too wrapped up in that. If Hasbro tosses a Yellowjacket, El Aguila, Triton, 70s Ms. Marvel, Arabian Knight, M-11 and Equinox my way and call it the Harpy (or Griffin) BAF wave, I'm bouncing on it!

So which Shang-Chi character do you think should have been the build-a-figure?

You might be considering a good long while because Shang-Chi foes/allies tend to be somewhat obscure and I can't think of a single "oversized" character that anyone would give a hoot about that would fit the bill.

The connection is more an "Avengers" connection than a "Shang-Chi" collection (given they filled out the wave with Avengers-esque characters). And either way, it's a way to get Hyde into collectors' hands, and I like the particular Thunderbolts run this outfit is inspired by, so I don't even mind that it's not a "classic" "The Owl-on-Steroids" version.

Of course one alternative would be to do a regular-size mcu figure as the BAF similar to Okoye, Mantis, and (to some extent) M'Baku and Bro Thor, but people certainly complained a lot about Mantis and Okoye so i don't think Hasbro prefers to go down that road unless it was an all mcu wave.

I'm guessing maybe there's some sort of dragon they could've done (admittedly an undersized one) or some other mythical creature but Hyde certainly has more name recognition and will draw in collectors who aren't into the mcu generally or this movie specifically.

I am More than happy to get a Mr. Hyde BAF soon . Mr . Hyde was always very high on my Top Ten list of BAFs ( along with Lockjaw , A-bomb , Orca , Classic Crimson Dynamo and Titanium man, Classic Blastaar,Stegon , Classic Lizard , Quasimodo )

sure i like a Classic Hyde more than this new Thunderbolts version but its ok ! Hope hasbro will Hear the fans and will make a More Classic version with multible Hands/fists and two Heads !

Exactly. What people keep forgetting is that the whole MCU line (including some spidey waves) is just one big Avengers line, despite what movie it is? Gotg, Dr. Strange, Black Panther, Ant-man, Thor etc all part of the Avengers line.

And for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, the whole Marvel Legends line is now spilt up into 3/4 lines, Avengers/MCU, Spider-man and X-men. There is speciality waves like the F4 but I wouldn't consider that a line until we get more then 2 waves of it.

What connection does Shang-Chi share with Mr. Hyde? He would have been better in an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D wave or a Ghost Rider wave with Robbie Reyes.

Its a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen connection, from that time the team went to London's Chinatown and Hyde slaughtered a bunch of chinese gangsters working for Fu Manchu, who in the comics is Shang-Chi's father. So there you go.

What connection does Shang-Chi share with Mr. Hyde? He would have been better in an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D wave or a Ghost Rider wave with Robbie Reyes.

What Mr. Hyde is actually secretly Galactus? man that's some M. Night Shymalan twist business there, guess I do want this BAF

It's the secret of this wave. You build Mr Hyde and he turns into giant Galactus
