Hasbro Maximum Marvel Legends Series Incredible Hulk Figure Opens For Pre-Order Next Week On April 10th

Been looking over the picks again. I don't recognize the body mold for Crossbones. Can anyone tell me if it's new or re-used?

Maximum Hulk is priced fairly for a character of this size, a great option for those who don't already have the 80th Anniversary version, and not a necessary purchase for those who do. I wish it was a brand new pinless sculpt with better head sculpts, but because it doesn't and I have the 80th anniversary version, I can easily pass on this and save sixty bucks.

Another round of figures they've already released in one form or another. And Hulk isn't just underwhelming, its a joke. THIS is what they're calling their "maximum" treatment?? Sadly there are enough collectors out there where all you have to do is slap a label on like "premium", "gold", "ultimate deluxe quantum supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" etc, and they will fall for it each and every time. How about, instead of the 42nd Spider-Man figure, they instead use Cobalt Man? The two pack wasn't all that bad (except for the errors that are their trademark), but why not Triton & Blackbolt that was announced a while back? Swap out Mystique, who they've done what, 2-3 times now, with Raza from the Starjammers? Save the naked Wolverine Weapon X re-do for another time, and use Deathbird? Just saying....they have 80 years of characters to pick from, not just Spidey and X-Men.

I saw a YouTube video from Marvel Stop Motion Studios about Hasbro only treating the Spider-Man and X-Men fans. I agree. That's true unless the character has an upcoming movie. They will get one dedicated wave once a blue moon. Even Iron Man didn't receive his own comic-based wave until 2022. They will give us all these 'who asked for this crap' characters from Spider-Man and X-Men. Before they give us my brothers and me, A-Bomb, Betty Ross, and Thunderbolt Ross (Not Red Hulk), or they will be sprinkled into a random assortment wave like they did with Beta Ray Bill (We are still missing on a classic Beta Ray Bill), Odin, Hulkbuster, Lady Sif (we haven't seen her in a while), Loki, Skaar and Amadeus Cho (I guess). I know there are more Hulk characters that have received this treatment. I don't read Hulk comics.

I usually go EE with my preorders but man, that $38 price is absolutely ridiculous. BBTS at $35 is pretty par for the course but EE is smoking something lol. Went with Amazon, which may have to happen more and more often if these wonky prices keep up.

Not sure what's going on lately. Prices are all over the place, but not getting corrected. EE was charging 60 for Ghost Rider last yr, but eventually fixed it. Now they are charging 125 for the Dr Doom helmet while it was 100 on Amazon, Pulse ect.

They could just paint an Iconic Iron man Blue and they could have CObalt Man

I was worried about the recent string of MCU Legends that failed to sell. We would not be receiving new Thunderbolts* figures. This would mean no new Fantastic Four: The First Steps figures. I have never been happier to see a set of figures I will never buy. This means we are getting those new MCU F4 figures, and I am very excited about them.

The Maximum Hulk is underwhelming for me. I don't own a comic Hulk, and I was thinking of picking up this figure. But then I found out most of the body is reused from the 80th-anniversary Hulk, and that turned me off. If I ever find him on a discount, I will pick it up. We need that new X-Factor Iceman. The last earth-616 Iceman that we received was back in 2018? The Juggernaut wave one from 2016, acting as my placeholder, has terrible gummy joints. Either on a retro card or as a deluxe with an ice slide. Just don't cast him in that gummy plastic.

Yep, with the supposed 54% tariffs on China, I am close to calling it quits with collecting altogether. I can't imagine being someone who buys the hundred-dollar+ + figures. Even though I indulge infrequently in ThreeZero products, a once 200-ish transformer will be what now, 300+? That's bonkers, the repercussions outside of the toy collecting (ya know, talking real world(American haha) problems) is already going to be disastrous. See y'all when half the toy companies are cooked.

Especially with Hasbro strongly hinting that the collector lines will be the ones taking any price increases as to try and keep the kid lines affordable for families.

Well us collectors will be affected the most with all these tariffs.

Yeah, i wonder why EE is the one with the higher price this time...?
