2x Iron Man. Just what we need on the pegs, more Iron Man.

Jesse Falcon and the guys at Marvel Hasbro said every wave, for a while, at least, is going to be anchored by a few heavies like Iron Man, Thor, Cap, Spidey, etc. They probably don't think retailers would be too interested without characters that have been featured in movies lately...and sadly, they're probably right.

That Iron Man is also the same one that was the SDCC exclusive this summer, except without the hammer shaped packaging.

I am kind of waiting for an Iron Thor in one of the lines...it feels inevitable.

Too bad I switched to 1:18th scale. That Ghost Rider looks cool.

Yeah, that Ghost Rider is a must have! I like the Terrax also.

I can't get into these. ML was perfect in the beginning with Toy Biz. $6.88 for a great figure in excellent packaging with awesome accessories to go with it. Now, $14.97 with sub-par characters, sculpts, quality, lack of accessories, mini-BAFs, and standards paper packaging. Pass.
My money goes to Marvel Select now.

Don't get me wrong.
Ghost Rider, Terrax, and even Constrictor do look good, but there's just too many things here that make me yawn.
I don't care if you do need that wave anchor, don't put Cap, Iron Man, and Thor in the same fucking wave when there are already tons of Cap, Iron Man, and Thor figures falling off pegs, and more to come when "Avengers" hits theatres.
Meh.

You're actually paying a tad more, it's equal to about 9 or 10 dollars then, but with inflation it's the 14 price.

I guess this falls under Marvel Legends but I picked up the six-inch movie Captain America and it's seriously badass. It's been so long since I bought a ML-esque figure I forgot how awesome they are.

I NEVER saw the "movie" Cap and Thor figures here and had to get Nick Fury off of Ebay from some guy in West Virginia of all places.

All of the Wal-Marts around me are loaded with the 6inchers. Thought about getting them but I'm picking up the Marvel Select ones instead.

Saw all but Ghost Rider at TRU today. Easily passed on them because GR was missing. And GR comes with both Terrax arms.

Really wanted the Steve Rogers, but after watching the video review, I'll pass. The head sculpt is awful. His chin is huge. with a 17.99 price tag at TRU, these things need to be close to perfect for me to buy them.

Now they are 17.99 don't know where people are seeing the 14.99 price point.
