Talk:Marvel Legends

message: Someone had recently added under series 8 a variant of Storm in her white costume. Such a figure does exist, but was not part of the Marvel Legends line, but rather, the X3 tie-in figures released around the same time as the movie, so I went ahead and removed it.
I edited the BAF parts that come with Winter Soldier and Captain America (movie) for the Mandroid wave, as they were mixed up.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.81.140.82 (talk) 01:09, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Corrections For Accuracy

message: In case somebody is curious on why I deleted the sentence about Hasbro ML figures being worse in quaity to the Toybiz version is because it sounds like a person's opinion esp citing various forums and users as proof.  While I agree that the Hasbro figures lacks the amount of paint used in the Toybiz version, the actual paint application is cleaner (no sloppy paint jobs despite what it originally said), the plastic is strudier (I do not think they are any figures by Hasbro that has the same rubber plastic feel like the later Toybiz figures,) and the sculpt quality has improved since the first HML toys.
My point is that the comment about the Hasbro figures are worse overall is bias and should be removed unless someone can cite a credible source.--Doomzaber (talk) 00:56, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed Comment about Hasbro Marvel Legends < Toybiz Marvel Legends

message: I've added a few details that I felt were worthy of indicating. I included more elaboration on the differences between the Hulks in the Galactus series (in particular, the heads), and made note of the Scarlet Witch's somewhat confusing release and her subsequent "rarity" in series 11.

thread_title: Additional Notes

message: Removed the following:
Waves 3 (Zues Series)
*1st Apperance Beast
*1st Apperance Beast(Unmasked Variant)
*Poseidon
*The Scorpion
*Hobgoblin
*Firestar
*Firestar(Fire Variant)
*Invisible Woman
*Zues(Build-a-figure)
I find no information to support this, the person who added it doesn't have an account and left not edit notes. Notice the user initially entered Hydroman and Neptune which changed minutes later to Scorpion and Pseidon. Also a varaint such as a "fire variant" would exceed the typical variant stlye of simply chaning the head or repainting.

message: Added a street date for series 10 and changed angels costume info, when he was on X factor he wore a blue body suit with a yellow X more or less like Cycs costume
Im thinking of striking SW off the list, apprently shes been cancled
:I would say keep her on the list--although she has been delayed for certain and possibly cancelled for good, unlike other "might-have-been" figures (like Crimson Dynamo) she actually made it all the way to packaging, twice and since some collectors have her, I'd say leave her on the list.  She goes for over $100 on eBay as of right now, but I suspect she's an important enough character that Toy Biz will release her when they are satisfied with the mold.

replies: text: I have wikified the page a lot (added links on all the characters, boy that was tedious!) and added a bit more information as to the origins of the line (spun off of Spider-man Classics), the related lines, and the excitement surrounding series 13 and the cancelled henchman figures.  Apologies if it doesn't show my login, I forgot I wasn't logged in when I made the edits! Alaren 01:26, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

message: If there are no objections, I plan on removing the term "unreleased" from the Power Man and Psylocke lines, as a limited number of each have been available on eBay   and have been confirmed as genuine by the AFA.   I am open to replacing "unreleased" with "rare" or a similar term.Ti dave 17:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would leave them as unreleased as it seems these and the series 15 blue wasp figure were some sort of packaging test and those that have sold on ebay have never been through a retail outlet. (Mikey01 05:24, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Nemesis Series

message: Suggested edit and relocation of the following from under Series 9 to have it apply to all of the Toybiz Legends:
Original - "NOTE: In some cases the Canadian release of the figures were packaged with a gold-foil enhanced mini-poster (with art by Jae Lee), instead of a comic."
Edit - NOTE: In some cases the Canadian and Australian releases of the figures were packaged with a gold-foil enhanced mini-poster featuring cover art, instead of a comic.
In Australia a large percentage of Toybiz Legends were released with a gold-foil enhanced mini-poster, including all figures from series 1-4. A citation is still needed.
This edit would include removing the figure-specific reference to the foil poster from Punisher series 4 as below, as it is superfluous to the general note:
"Punisher (White or grey belt) (with foil print or Punisher War Zone #1)"

Suggested edit for Thing series 2:
* Thing (with base or hat/trenchcoat/glasses, with Fantastic Four vol. 1 #263)
or addition of the following:
* Thing (with hat/trenchcoat/glasses, Chase, with Fantastic Four vol. 1 #263)
Possibly a Wal-mart exclusive as I bought it at Big W in Australia and have seen other Wal-mart exclusives there.

thread_title:  Suggestions 

message: Would anyone mind if I revised most of the lists for the BAF waves? They look very messy and don't mention any accessories, etc. I was thinking of organizing these waves into tables, like the non-BAF waves are currently. If no one has any reasonable objections to this, I'd like to start reworking this article. -Ryokuu (talk) 02:33, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't mind if you do. I added the tables for those early non-BAF waves and was planning to do the same thing for the rest but never got around to it. JLThorpe (talk) 11:32, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed merge of [[List of Marvel Legends Hasbro action figures]] into [[Marvel Legends]] 

message: Those massive tables are dreadful, and what accessories and stands they have is fan-wiki nonsense. I had a couple of these but am struggling to recall - were they facsimile actual comics, or was it just a backdrop? If it's the latter that's not needed either. As such at most that is really suitable can be rendered as less indulgent columns: -

Release: February 2005

That is all that is needed at most, and that way the page won't be too long. Unless I hear a sensible counter-argument I'll do it myself in a few days. Then it will just be the matter of tagging basically everything with Citation Needed. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 19:45, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
