Marvel Legends Ms. Marvel and Dark Avengers Ms. Marvel by Cal – I hope Hasbro gets around to both of these figures, as Carol Danvers and Karla Sofen as Ms. Marvel both are worthy of the new busty build – this begs the question, though: just how many Thunderbolts sets did Cal get? – ends Aug 14, 2013 19:00:26 PDT and Aug 14, 2013 19:15:06 PDT

To get you the pics you want as fast as I can, I’m hooking you into my Instagram feed – there’s already a few more ML pics there than what I’ve included in this quick post. If you’re on Instagram, follow me at afpron – that’s for AFP Ron, not AF Pron :). Stay tuned for better pictures soon.
The Rocket Raccoon wave of Marvel Legends is here! It feels like a long time since we’ve had new MLs in our hands, but if you count Iron Man Legends along with the Hit Monkey wave, then we’re back up to the number of Marvel Legends waves we had in 2012. The real question is whether the market can bear more than this. We’ve still got the Wolverine Legends wave incoming, but even with a Wolverine movie performing well in theaters (the cumulative box office is already estimated to exceed the $120MM production costs), what would be the 4th wave this year is at present a Previews Exclusive.

The first wave of the new Marvel Avengers Assemble line is in stock now at Amazon. Avengers Assemble is the result of Hasbro’s brand refresh for the Marvel Universe line. It’s intended to match Marvel Universe in terms of sculpt, articulation, and paint, while making it more accessible for both retailers and kids – the line leverages the success of the Avengers movie, and includes accessories with action features.
I’d say the first wave is a fair example of what to expect. With the collector-oriented figures we see the sculpt and articulation we have grown to love in MU – for example, Falcon comes with rocker ankles, hip swivels, and double knees. The more heavily packed big hitters of Captain America, Iron Man, and Hulk are not as compelling. I think Hasbro knows it needs only appeal to the lowest common denominator with them, and aren’t trying as hard.
