Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Shanna the She-Devil, Heimdall, and Phoenix Force Cyclops

This week we’ve got three Marvel Legends customs:

Marvel Legends Shanna the She-Devil by Horton’s Heroes – the thicker Moonstone body makes a great base for Shanna, and the headsculpt holds up great for her – this takes me back to Doubledealer’s Shanna from years ago – ends Nov 24, 2013 19:35:13 PST
Marvel Legends Heimdall by rhodabernie – I’d like to see a lot more of Thor’s supporting characters in Marvel Legends – it’s a shame that Hasbro didn’t jump on board with 6-inchers to take advantage of Thor: the Dark World – ends Nov 24, 2013 17:12:53 PST
Marvel Legends Phoenix Force Cyclops by nartardee – if you’re missing that Phoenix Force Cyke that was originally supposed to come out in Wolverine Legends, this version may tide you over – ends Nov 20, 2013 10:45:41 PST

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!

Argh! – I Missed a Shot at Marvel Legends Blade at Walmart.com

I have been missing out on online opportunities recently. The other day, I missed a chance at the Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Rocksteady and Bebop. And now, I missed a shot at a Marvel Legends Blade at Walmart.com. It’s been a while, but you may recall that Hasbro originally planned running change variants for the “bonus” 3rd wave of ML at the end of last year – and one of the variants was a swap-out of Punisher for Blade.

Our good pal Paul sent us the picture above with a brief explanation:

Just wanted to give a heads up that local walmarts are seeing the Rocket Raccoon series here in GA. The figures were available online at walmart.com but are out of stock now. I did find this interesting though, researching the figures online I found the elusive Blade that was a variant to punisher. I instantly thought “it’s probably really the punisher with the red skull” but then I noticed the price slightly higher than the rest of the figures plus, my local stores have the punisher with the red skull at the standard retail at $14.97 not $22.95. Maybe it is wishful thinking that I can finally get my hands on this variant but I took the bait and purchased one. Hope all is well and good luck.

Thanks and good luck, Paul! Let us know how it works out!

Border Patrol: G.I. JOE Firefly, Transformers Grimlock, and Marvel Legends Deadpool

This week we’ve got customs from across three of the major Hasbro brands:

G.I. JOE Firefly by by Stronox – good things do come in little packages – Firefly comes decked out with a ton of accessories – if you like the work, Stronox also has a Storm Shadow up this week – ends Nov 14, 2013 10:15:51 PST
Transformers Masterpiece Grimlock by encline_designs – ok, maybe you have a Masterpiece Grimlock already – do you have one with the headsculpt based on his look in the IDW comics? – ends Nov 14, 2013 21:31:14 PST
Marvel Legends Deadpool by Rat Pack Studios – there’s another Deadpool up this week, from a somewhat notorious customizer who’s been accused of shill bidding on his auctions, but it’s a mishmash of costume elements from Deadpool’s various looks over time – this custom is specific and truer to the look during a very popular run in the comics, and it comes with a customized scooter from that run – awesome! – ends Nov 21, 2013 18:48:44 PST

Soapbox Sunday: Hasbro Missed Opportunity for Marvel Legends for Thor: the Dark World

With Thor: The Dark World set to hit an $84MM opening weekend in the US, on top of a strong international box office the past couple of weeks, I wonder if Hasbro feels the whoosh of an opportunity passing them by. Back at San Diego Comic-Con, we asked the brand and design team if they had plans for Thor Marvel Legends – in short, they said no.

And while they have brought Marvel Universe-scaled Thor figures to the market, there’s a lot more they could have done with Legends.
