Marvel Legends X-Men Wave Old Man Logan Photo Shoot

under Marvel Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Fifty years from now, Logan the man who no longer calls himself Wolverine, will have endured many atrocities: The Marvel Universe’s villains will have banded together and rid the world of its heroes. Logan’s closest friend, Hawkeye, will have been murdered in cold blood right before his eyes. And driven mad by the same radiation that gave him his superhuman strength, Bruce Banner will have fathered a family of hillbilly Hulks…that eventually went on to slaughter Logan’s wife and two children. But now, in the present, Old Man Logan wakes up to discover himself in a world before these atrocities, before the Wasteland. And he’s going to seize this opportunity and change history to ensure that his future never comes to pass…

    The Sunfire you're referring to is also a Hasbro figure - there was no Toy Biz Sunfire.

    The accessories thing shouldn't really be a knock against the figure, since 1) they work quite well for him, and 2) reusing parts is a grand ML tradition that lets them pump out as much product as they do.

    Yeah this is the shitty Toybiz version.
    Toy Biz 1998 Marvel Giant-Size X-Men Action Figure the other Hasbro version that's clear is not that bad and a different design altogether.

    I could care less how many filler figures Hasbro forces us to buy to get to the core designs the majority of casual fans want. My days of buying everything that Hasbro puts out are long gone. I want quality over quantity and I'm willing to pay for it.

    I rarely keep up with Marvel Legends figures these days (lost interest), are the fly joints a recent update? That's a pretty interesting addition. It's a damn shame they were added five years after the line restarted but it's cool to see regardless.

    It's odd, many of the older Toybiz ML figures had perfectly effective fly joints (the old Spider-Man figures come to mind), you would think they would have set a new standard.

    There have been figures with butterfly joints throughout the line. For Hasbro, that was mostly from reusing Toybiz bodies until the Superior Spider-Man figure in 2014, which used a completely new body (and the ASM2 Spidey in the same wave, which used a one-off body). The next year, 2015, that body would be changed to have a longer torso, and released as normal Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099. That body has been used for several characters since then, like Ice-Man, Black Ant (an evil android version of the Irredeemable Ant-Man, Eric O'Grady), Superior Venom, Sensational (Ben Reilly) Spider-Man, Speed Demon, Electro, and Iron Fist, and most recently, Black Costume Spider-Man, and is going to be used as All-New, All-Different (Parker Industries) Spider-Man later this year. There were also butterfly joints on the Civil War MCU Spider-Man released in mid 2016, and there will be on the new Starktech suit body they're releasing twice (once single-carded, once in a two-pack) for Spider-Man: Homecoming. The body this Sunfire is on is a new one that just got introduced early this year/late last year (depending on whether you count the Sandman wave's release year as the year it was technically supposed to come out, or the year it actually came out, respectively) with All-New, All-Different Spider-Man 2099. That figure and this Sunfire are the only two figures that have used this body so far.

    I don't mind Hasbro reusing accessories so much as I dislike them reusing so many body parts & then claiming they still don't have enough budget for more unique sculpts (especially for MCU villains).

    The bearded look is from the recent Extraordinary X-Men. He wore it with a white ribbed shirt that blended into his steel skin too much.

    I didn't really want anything in this wave but I figured I would pick up Logan if I found him, because I'm a big fan of the short, stocky, hairy, Canadian who isn't Puck. Hot damn I am glad I found him while grocery shopping on Saturday.

    I love the Jim Lee outfit the best, but I kinda like it when he just wore the outfit and regular ruby sunglasses instead of the visor in the comics.

    I totally agree.

    Also, I would've liked them to focus on movie figures when the line is meant to support a movie. Starting with the iron man 3 line, that was pathetic. But it hasn't gotten much better since then. You get a bunch of non movie figures and a movie figure here and there. I mean villains? They can barely release a set of the good guys lol.

    I wish they'd let bluefin sell figuarts stuff in toys r us.

    The First X-man, the best X-men! And this is the best representation of his best costume. (I'm a big Cyclops fan, in case you didn't guess). I totally dig this figure. Of course, now I want a Jim Lee era Jean Grey to go with him...but she's crazily expensive! Of course.

    You can use the Juggernaut wave Phoenix with this Cyclops too. He still had this look when she wore the green suit and it is a newer, better Jean figure.

    I always forget how much Marvel writers were clearly high when they came up with that convoluted explanation for how Cyclops' powers work.

    Despite that, still an amazing figure.

    WTF? When did they change it to that ridiculously stupid bulls**t?

    Maybe it was an attempt to make the type of energy his eye blasts are composed of more nebulous, to avoid having to deal with the logical consequences of if more realistic types of energy like lasers were coming out of a mutant human being's eyeballs.

    Yeah, I know I could. But I actually started reading X-men on Jim Lee's X-men #1, so the blue/gold Jean Grey on the cover will always be THE Jean Grey to me. Too bad she was so hard to find to start with, and now the aftermarket price is just ridiculous.

    Wow, Dazzler really turned out pretty awesome.

    Overall, Hasbro's ML stuff is so much better than the DC Multiverse garbage that Mattel is shitting out that it's not even funny.
