The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes

By LegendsCrazy | Published: July 28, 2010

Avengers Assemble! A new Marvel animated series featuring Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Hulk! When the planet is threatened by Super Villains, time traveling conquerors, alien invaders, mythical monsters or mad robots bent on the total destruction of humanity, when the forces of evil are so overwhelming that no single hero has the power to save the world, when there is no hope left…the AVENGERS ASSEMBLE! All-new The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes animated series from Marvel Animation premiering on Disney XD this fall!

This trailer really looks good and done in a style that both kids and adults will be able to enjoy. I’m not a fan of the “Anime” look for my Marvel characters, so I will definitely tune in for the premiere of this one.

Marvel Legends Returns in 2012!!!

By LegendsCrazy | Published: July 25, 2010

Marvel Legends Logo

That’s right, you read the title correctly. Marvel Legends returns in 2012! I know, I couldn’t believe it either. There will be some new six-inch offerings throughout 2011, starting with Iron Man Legends, which will likely be both re-used and new sculpts from the 6 inch Iron Man 2 figures. We will finally see the release of the Crimson Dynamo and Titanium Man sculpts that were “accidentally” shown last year. There was also a Hulkbuster Iron Man and War Machine shown during the panel. It’s still too early for Hasbro to begin releasing information about the direction they are going to take with the relaunch of Marvel Legends. I’m guessing we will still see some re-use of both the Toy Biz and Hasbro sculpts in the beginning with a few new sculpts mixed in as the line ages and grows, much like we do in Marvel Universe. One of the things that struck me as odd was that they used the Toy Biz Marvel Legends logo during the panel presentation. It’s nice to hear the forums a buzz again with talk and excitement for Marvel Legends, instead of the line is dead. We will be getting the new Two Packs in October, but now I’m saying, come on 2012!

SDCC 2010 Begins!

By LegendsCrazy | Published: July 22, 2010

San Diego Comic Con LogoThe news from this years San Diego Comic Con has started to flood the interwebs. From the Hasbro Marvel booth comes our first look at the next wave of Marvel Legends Two Packs. As you probably already know, these will once again be exclusive to Toys ‘R Us. There will be a Black Widow and Bucky/Winter Soldier two pack. The standard release will feature Black Widow in her black costume and she will have a short-haired head and a long-haired head included. Winter Soldier will also come with a short and long-haired head. The news we didn’t know is that a variant two pack will have Black Widow’s costume re-painted in gray.

The next two pack features Deadpool and Warpath. The standard release will have Warpath in his current X-Force black and silver costume and Deadpool in his classic red and black colors. What we didn’t know is that a variant two pack will have Warpath repainted in his classic red and blue costume and Deadpool will sport his X-Men blue and gold look.

Finally, The Hulk and Valkyrie hold the final spot in the third two pack of this wave. No variants where on display for this offering and no-one has mentioned any official word from Hasbro about this yet. These are slated to be released in October/November and it cannot come soon enough for me.

These really look great! I mean really! Black Widow looks like she could easily be the best Marvel Legend female to date. Heck, maybe even the best Marvel Legend to date. I am hoping for more news about Marvel Legends to come after the panel on Saturday.

Here is a video taken by someone (possibly Ron) on TheFwoosh of some of the displays in the Hasbro Marvel booth.

And here are some links to some pictures of the two packs:
