2023 MCM London Hasbro Marvel Legends Panel Coverage

Really liking Jack

Shown below via mcucollector24 is an in-hand look at the new Hasbro Spider-Man Marvel Legends Retro Collection Jack O'Lantern Figure from Hasbro. Available for pre-order at our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and Entertainment Earth with a suggested retail price of $24.99 each.

Really like the head sculpt on this fig, but something about the body bugs me. I think it's the arms. Peter has been drawn in different ways, but it's generally either a skinnier version overall (arms and body) OR a thicker, more muscular build overall. This is kind of a mix, with arms that seem too small for the thickness of the torso.

Really liking the look of this Scarlet Spider. Liked the last one, but in side-by-side comparison, this overall looks better.

You get what I'm saying. People might get tired of hearing it but I am just disgusted at how bad they botched that figure. And when you compare it to figures like War Machine or Spiral, both that are WAY more complicated, you can only conclude there was no excuse for that. I do think they'll hit it again, because a lot of fans want it in the blue /dark blue leggings. Hopefully they'll ditch this silly torso thing, give it a real ab crunch, put it on a larger mold, of course do the boot rotation, and maybe change the expression a bit next time around.

The no boot rotation really boggles my min, I couldn't believe it didn't have it. A new torso would be great. That way we could get a real ab crunch like you said and the shirt overlay should be a softer material. They could also do butterfly shoulder joints and cast them in yellow to help hide the hideous armpits.

The one figure I'm debating on getting is the Last Stand Spiderman. I'm really curious if I can use his legs for a swap with Chamber.

I'd want them to go back and re-do the classic 70s version CORRECTLY this time....anything to get rid of the Luke Cage, Armpit for Hire nonsense. After that, then they can move on to more modern takes. Its good to see they're doing a better "civilian" model, though.

I'm crossing my fingers pal. That would be appropriate. I also see some people wondering what other characters can be done with this mold. It's hard but I think they could do a Sabretooth and maybe Tomi Shishido Gorgon. But I actually think the investment was more with the legs and as the torso is pretty much covered they can do other things with it. But as it stands we a several tiny suited models, one moderate sized suited model and now a Large to XL suited model. And actually any one of those sets of legs can be painted to be jeans or slacks or formal. Not perfect by a far shot but it's a lot better than the one option we had for a very long time. I could actually see them coloring the pants dark blue and the shoes brown and putting a muscular torso with a yellow shirt and do Luke Cage.

I really wish they'd use the Rose body more. Granted, it's a pretty new body, so hopefully it rolls out more and eventually fully replaces Coulson. Fury is better but still has a lot of the problems that Coulson has. The Inner Demon figure is probably more in line with modern Legends sizes, hopefully we see that one updated eventually and used more, I think it's only been used twice so far.
