Action Figures Depot

Marvel Legends are back next year. The toy line that made the 6inch action figure scale famous has been on hiatus for the past few years, and now Hasbro have at last given into the demands of Legends fans worldwide, by bringing the series back in full swing. I’m not penitent in admitting I own probably each Marvel Legends (with the exception of the SDCC Thor) figure in existence, (which for UK fans has been hard due to ToyBiz and Hasbro’s aweinspiring distribution). With the next 2-3 series of figures already announced, here are my picks for what figures I hope will come up in the future.

My Wish List:

1) Heimdall:

The characters from Asgard have been in the spotlight of the Marvel Universe in recent years. Re-introduced for the duration of the Olivier Coipel illustrated Thor Series, and starring in a major Hollywood film, now is the perfective time to get Asgard’s warriors on shelves.

2) The Warriors Three

Which means the likes of Hogun, Fandral and Volstagg need to be freed at a heap of point. Whether they’re in single carded figures or in a triple pack, the Warriors Three are an integral portion of the Marvel Universe, and it’s with regards to time collectors got characters from the Thor universe.

3) Sebastian Shaw

Largely influenced by Kevin Bacon’s fantastic performance in X-Men: First Class, Sebastian Shaw’s popularity must surely be at an all time high. With the exception of the dreadful Emma Frost figure (more on that later), it’s time gatherers are competent to make their own Hellfire Club.

4) Azazel

Another choice that’s been influenced by X-Men: First Class. Whether you’re a fan of the silent henchman Azazel, or the religious demon from the comics, there’s no doubt he would make for a great figure.

5) Emma Frost

The last (and only) time we’ve gotten an Emma Frost figure was the frightening one from the Hasbro 1st series. Being truthful, the figure looked more like a man, and the diamond variant was shocking. With Emma at the centre of the X-Men books, it’s fitting accumulators get a better version of her to display.

6) Bleeding Edge Iron Man

He’s been one of the most reoccurring characters in the Marvel Legends line, and I doubt that’s going to change anytime soon. There’s already an Extremis Iron Man on the way, so it’s only fitting Hasbro invent a figure Iron Man’s most recent armour. The Bleeding Edge Iron Man armour is stored altogether beneath Tony Stark’s skin, so it will have to suit the slimmer mold Hasbro seem to be giving Iron Man in recent waves.

7) Ultimate Hawkeye (New Ultimates)

Hawkeye is regarded as one of the coolest characters of the Marvel Ultimate Universe. The look of Ultimate Clint Barton has even inspired the look of Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye in next year’s Avengers movie. Whether it’s 616 or Ultimate, Hawkeye’s popularity is at an all time high, and giving careful consideration to we’ve already gotten a classic 616 Hawkeye, it’s fitting the next figure is Ultimate Clint.

Iron Patriot

Now closely as famous as his Green Goblin persona, Norman Osborn’s Iron Patriot armour made him into one astounding villain. Running H.A.M.M.E.R and the Dark Avengers, as Iron Patriot, Norman controlled the Marvel Universe for a year for the duration of the Dark Reign saga.

9) Ultimate Spider-Man (Miles Morales)

Whether you love him or you hate him, Miles Morales has sent shock waves all over the comic book world this year. After writer Brian Bendis decisive to kill of Ultimate Peter Parker, and replace him with Miles who is of African/American and Latino descent, fans have been going wild. Some hate how Peter has been replaced, where as a great deal of love the modify of character. Bottom line is, the intense promotion Miles has received almost instantaneously makes him worthy of being a Marvel legends figure.

10) Fantomex,

Introduced for the duration of Grant Morrison’s New X-Men, Fantomex has become a cult favourite amongst X-Men fans. Starring in the new X-Force series has brought Fantomex’s popularity rise drasti and a lot of fans would love to add him to their X-Force collection.

So there are my top ten figures I would love to see in a future Marvel Legends line. If any person has their sentiment on whom they would want to see please your wish list below.

Marvel Universe Archangel Variant Action

Intricately elaborated down to the last muscle, this articulated Archangel action figure is ready to fight! Send him into battle to fight for the fate of the world or leave him posed for action on his display stand as a warning versus evil-doers everywhere! Figure comes with display stand and classified file with mystery code.

Archangel/Death
By Ryan H. Stahl
This X-Factor era variant of Archangel is painted to match the helmet he wore very briefly as Apocalypse’s fourth horseman Death. A nice looking figure but there is one note; his wings are sculpted to appear as they did when folded up at that time (vs. the full version of the wings the non-Death variant of this toy has). As a collector, whom I assume this toy is intended for, I imagine you will want to own both so likely won’t care.
