Marvel Legends Reaver Pretty Boy Revealed

Yes, lol! I thought the same thing immediately when I first saw this new figure and mold. The old Ultron/Ultimate Beetle buck does not invoke Silvermane for me as much as this Pretty Boy one does. But hey, they always re-use these bucks somewhere down the line. But Popping off Silvermane's head from that old toy truck and putting it on the old Ultron/Ultimate Beetle buck is something I could even do as a customize.

I can easily see this being reused for SIlvermane

...two things... Pretty Boy is supposed to be like a handsome dude....this dude look like a cartoon thug.

They missed a great opportunity to include a "no Punisher" shirt as an accessory.

Lol. Yeah, it's like they took all the classically "handsome" traits and mashed them all together. The square jaw, the cleft chin, the thick head of hair, the arched eyebrows, smoldering eyes and the confident grin. Maybe separately, or maybe in pairs, they would make a handsome face, but all together it seems a little much. Whatever though, it still looks pretty cool and I will be happy to get it.

Hopefully a Macon/Cole head sculpt swappable figure will follow shortly and the Coup De Gras, Cameron Hodge, possibly as a BAF for the X-Men wave, though he might be a bit big and have to be done as a deluxe.

I'm really impressed with the line-up of this set as a whole, but what is the theme? It's obvious a team building set with members of the Reavers, Mauraders, MLF, X-Factor. Is the theme just gonna be X-Men Villains. I'm not complaining, but it's just so random (pun intended) it just makes me wonder why they can't do stuff like this more ofter. Why does every wave or set have to have a specific theme? Why can't they just do waves like they used to in the Toybiz days or like at the Return of Marvel Legends? I know, movie tie-ins and product placement commitments take the front seat, but why can't they go back to a bigger spattering of variety in regards to the comic based products. Part of me thinks there is a very specific fear, whether unfounded or not, that the comic based characters would outsell the movie based characters. I personally think they would, not so much based on an opinion that they're better but that there is so much more variety and creativity.

I think you're really discounting the big factor of the fact Hasbro has to convince retailers to buy these, and so in addition to what Hasbro thinks will and won't, might and might not sell, there's also a huge deal of what the retailers think will/might and won't/mightn't sell, in addition to just the retailers' own whims. Most likely, having the waves be separately themed is what has allowed them to put multiple waves of Legends on the shelf on separate pegs at the same time as they're considered different assortments, different products; removing the theming from waves may allow retailers to be like "hmm, do you really need all these pegs, all this space for this one toyline?" and collapse the space allowed for Marvel Legends down some, especially with how small they're making toy sections already.

Good looking figure. I'm definitely interested in seeing what the rest of the set looks like.

I'm seeing Bruce Campbell and also Toy Galaxy's Dan Larson from the old days before the beard.

If the rumours are 100% accurate, only vertigo and zero will be reused body molds...random should be a new body mold too. That a good 5 pack I'm looking forward to.

I hope you are right, but I bet Random will reuse a lot of parts (the Hercules torso and Thunderstrike brown leather sleeveless coat). I am down for it either way!
