Marvel Legends Wave 3 Hits Retail

Hasbro dumping more stuff on me, Eeek, Rogue & Destiny, Hulkbuster from Amazon. other non Legends from Walmart.

Blackheart wave shows up from Gamestop!

Got Dracula last week from Amazon. I might be in the minority, but I like the design, it's a nice differentiator from other Dracula merch. But the one thing that stuck out was that with those lower arms, legs, and that torso, we've got to be getting a Penance figure soon. Those new parts are tailor made for him.

Bloodstorm, Dracula, and Weapon of Vengeance arrived today from Amazon.

Doctor Strange, Wong & Bats arrived from Amazon.

Got Crystal & Lockjaw and Odin today from Pulse.

So weird few days from Amazon. Got charged for Dr Strange / Wong / dog ( i guess they are calling it a 3 pack) as well as Bloodstorm, Hellverine, and Dracula on Monday for Wednesday delivery. Then today all were delayed.

Normally when i get profuct delayed they hold off on charging my card. Not overly concered but for me this is a new practice. Ive set aside the cash so it wont matter if anything else gets released.

Heres hoping the delays dont mean im getting someone elses swapped returns

Over the last few days, I received the following from Pulse:

Hulkbuster

Jean Grey/Phoenix Force

Punisher/Bushwacker

Got the Vulture/Spidey VHS 2 pack last week. The Spidey is surprisingly good, and definitely has proportions that are more in line with the Animated Series than the first one did. Vulture is the definite star of the set, and for whatever reason this was always a favorite design for me from the show so getting it in Legends hits all the right buttons.

Also got Sabretooth out, really is a great figure, I'm just glad that the waiting paid off and I got this one at retail. That Logan immediately became the new home for the unmasked Astonishing Wolvie headsculpt, so that felt like a bonus.

Thank you! I switched them at bicep swivel, it only required hairdryer and slight shaving of the shoulder pegs so they fit Spider-woman arms and the paint removal too. Sadly sometimes peg holes tend to be more hallow so you need to fatten up the peg itself, but it can be done with shrink tube or you can use hot glue and cellophane trick to make hole smaller, I think youtube customizer VADToys uses that method often in videos.

As for criticism it's not really an opinion of mine, this Warbird has visibly smaller head as you can see on pics and slightly shorter legs (although I gotta admit they are best sculpted Legends legs ever) than the average female ML figure like Namorita, Syrin and Shriek when Carol is supposed to be 5'11 which is bigger than the average female and bigger than Spider-Man who is 5'10. yet the figure we got is somehow smaller than the average female. If she had regular sized head and legs that are bit taller than the Shriek mold this would have been easily 10/10 figure.

The issue is that Hasbro is changing the scale of Marvel Legends figures. They have been shrinking in size for a year or more (I'm an occasional Legends collector who has gotten a lot more interested since Warbird/real Ms. Marvel was finally made so I'm sorry if I'm stating something that is obvious).

Ms. Marvel is a lot smaller than older Legends that I have (Hellfire White Queen, Allfather Scarlet Witch) but is she really so out of scale with 2023 and 2024 releases? She isn't quite tall enough, I will grant that, but I'm not sure that the head's scale is really that far off.
