Hasbro's
Dan Yun has confirmed that we will be seeing a third Marvel Legends Maximum figure released this year.
The first two figures in this
Maximum sub-line that have been solicited include
Spider-Man and more recently
The Incredible Hulk. These figures are available at places like our sponsors
BigBadToyStore.com and
Entertainment Earth.
So now you might be asking what is the next figure to get the
Maximum treatment? While not yet confirmed by
Hasbro, as we first reported back in February, I believe it will be a new
Maximum Deadpool figure. I don't have any details at this time on what exactly will make it Maximum worthy and of course until Hasbro confirms it we will treat this as a
RUMOR.
When more details do become available we will be sure to update you here on MarvelousNews.
This is the updated Classic THOR I would love to see!

Oh, no, it ABSOLUTELY was, but it could be improved upon - pinless tech, a little taller and wider, better cape (maybe soft goods as well), better head sculpts (more personality, better printing, better helmet...maybe even a Skrull Thor head).

I agree that it's the only way to do the character justice. I'm actually kinda hoping the First Steps Mr Fantastic is a deluxe figure to get a decent representation of his powers. Stretchy fingers like we've got on the last couple of Reeds just doesn't do the trick - we need a figure that matches the old 2005 FF movie and i don't see that happening outside of a deluxe/Maximum offering...

I would love that, but I want a definitive CLASSIC Thor. You want the spiky Iceman...I would love that too, but I want a definitive CLASSIC Iceman (along with the rest of the original X-men gang. This is why it is always great to see pics of various collections - no collection is the same. I've always thought the absolute best comic characters came out in the 60's and 70's and of course there were some prior to the 60's, and some after the 70's, but the best were in those two decades, so I will always prefer those classic characters in their original looks.

Also surprised we haven't seen an updated version of the ToysRUs Original X-Men Box Set yet either...that would be my absolute most wanted Legends release.

They do seem to be hitting more modern interpretations
