This was good, but the 3 3/4 in. scale is reeeeeeeeeaaaally annoying me. I already have a lot of the marvel legends scale action figures (which is my favorite size), and now the are shrinking them!! And right before the Wolverine movie, when I expected some Deadpool action!!! Now I either have to buy a smaller figure for about the same price as the others, buy the ML action figure for north of $90, or live without Deadpool (a fate worse than death)!!! A lot of the 3 in. action figures look good though, I just can't justify buying all of these characters over again just for the smaller scale.
Do me a favor and see what the heck happened to the Marvel Legends Walmart Exclusive Nova figure!
No one can find it at any Wal-Mart!
Thanks!

EXACTLY! I agree 100% Iv'e got a box full of Toy Biz Marvel Legends and I was hoping to fill it in with Gambit and Deadpool but these are too small. Another thing that bugs me is the lack of the 3 inch figures around my area. I live in like Mid Wales and the only place Iv'e seen them is Liverpool. I'm not going all the way to Liverpool to get some figures. Even though it's VERY tempting.

I really liked that Galactus set, though finding a place to artfully place such a behemoth would be difficult! lol

they remind me of the smaller action figures i got in the 80's. remember the one that only the arms and legs moved? no elbows, knees, and one balled up fist and another opened.
Enjoyed the new Geek-lactus with Jesse doing the honors.
Just one thing, Jesse. I don't think Toro was the original Human Torch.
Those Marvel Exclusives of "Toro"...?? Captain America, Namor, The Sub-Mariner, and The Red Skull I would like to get.
I wonder how hard they will be to find!!
I sure would like to see an "INVADERS Golden Age SPECIAL" ... with:
The Human Torch
Toro
Captain America
Bucky (re-done)
Namor, The Sub-Mariner
Miss America
The Whizzer
Red Skull
and a few other Timely Heroes and villains!!
