For all you Marvel Legend collectors out there.. Big Bad Toy Store has a Neo-Classic Iron Man up for pre-order for $13.99 plus shipping.. It's probably worth picking up him and Doom so you can do you Legacy of Doom displays. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS22007&mode=retail |

It's difficult because there is so much cool stuff out there, but I basically gave up the 6" lines a few years back now. I did dip for the Crimson Dynamo when I found him, but that was the one and only one in years. It's not likely I'll continue to buy 6" figures as they are often too cumbersome to display properly after a while, and often the articulation detracts from the sculpts. I love the diversity they've given Iron Man since the Marvel Legends line launched many years back now though. But with so many figure lines on the shelves today, I'm more apt to stay with 3 3/4" figures. And even those I very, very rarely buy nowadays.
But who knows? If I walk down the aisle and see something I might pull the trigger. With that said, I was checking out the 3 3/4" figure lines at the store the other day and a typical Avengers movie figure (3 3/4") is priced at 9.99?!?!? WTF? Yeah, I'll wait for clearance or never....

I got a few of the MU Iron Man figure when it first came out. I stopped collecting them tho, 3 3/4" was never really my thing. I was so tempted by the Iron Man 2 line. So many villains that we will probably never see in Legends, as well as a very nice armor selection. |

I am DEFINITELY getting this figure. He just might be my favorite out of the bunch from series 3. He looks amazing.  |

Iron Man and Doom are the only ones I want. I'm tired of my ML3 Doom. I preordered them, just because idk what the BAF is, so I won't order a case, especially since I don't want just about every other figure in this wave.

Yeah, this series is a bit weird and a tad underwhelming. No 7th figure it would seem. Looks like we're back to the 6 figure BAF formula, no all-star figure. I just wish we knew what that BAF was going to be.
Also, the only new character we're getting who hasn't had a figure before in Marvel Legends is Moonstar. It's almost like they played it very safe for some reason.
Punisher looks good and I'm glad he's coming with so many guns.
Blade's head looks too big, and I hate the Bucky vest, not to mention those lousy red lapels. Big disappointment for me.
I'm sure Deadpool will be a straight X-Force repaint of the Deadpool we got in the 2-packs, which is neat, I guess. I just hope he gets a red variant, too.
US Agent looks cool. I've wanted him for a long time, and he'll look great with the West Coast Avengers. It'd be neat if he got a Captain America costume variant to depict when he wore Cap's costume when Steve Rogers gave it up.
I used to like the Mystique ongoing book back in the day, so I'm hopefully gonna like this figure. She'll go with my other X-villains. Good thing I held off opening that extra classic Mystique.
Moonstar looks... off. I'm more accustomed to seeing her in her classic brown Native American boots. Not diggin this figure as much as I could have, especially if she'd been given her classic new Mutants costume and said boots. Disappointing.
Neo-Classic Iron Man, as I said before already, looks great. I can't wait to get him.
I have this bad feeling Dr.Doom is going to be a straight white Future Foundation repaint of the Ronan the Accuser Dr.Doom from the Marvel Legends Fantastic Four Series. I already have that Dr.Doom, and while nicely sculpted, I hated the Hasbro-styled articulation on it. I might be more open to this if they gave him better articulation in the arms and legs, but sadly, I know they won't. He'll probably get a green classic variant, as well.

Punisher and Blade I was never really into, they have some cool guns with them tho. Blade is just Winter Soldier with a Fury coat... No Thanks.. Pass Deadpool I'd get a red variant of if they make. I missed the Hasbro one, and it looks awesome. X-Force tho is a pass. US Agent I don't feel like I need. Truthfully, I didn't think they needed to make him. I'm more into Avengers than X-Men, so Moonstar and Mystique aren't a big deal for me. I'm hoping Doom, is green and a better figure, but if he's FF I'm okay with that too. When I finally track down FF Spidey, He'll go nicely with him. |

She's taped to a grenade next to what would be Deadpool's left kneecap; on top of the box of Captain America movie masks. |

Yeah, you have to almost squint to see her in that pic. There's a bigger one somewhere else that allowed you to see it more clearly, but I just threw up the first one I found.

 Here's a pic from the SDCC. Looks like this officially confirms Neo-Classic Iron Man's Marvel Legends release. |
