I'm, confused. Are these 6" Legends scale or 4" Universe scale?
I consider myself a marvel guy, and I have no clue who half of these guys are. Either they are scraping the bottom of the OHOTMU barrel, or they are intentionally pushing z-list characters due to some upcoming media appearances or marketing bullshit.
My tinfoil hat says that it clearly has something to do with promoting Avengers and ignoring X-Men. Throwing us a Rogue bone does nothing to sway that opinion.
Did anyone notice the GI Joe/Cobra image? It looked like a card back except there were four attached together?
It's more about 'what characters can we make from the library of parts we've got onhand from our years of haphazard management and shoddy engineering and design' than anything. You think *now* is when they're gonna start planning ahead for this line? Somehow, someway; 18th has become Hasbro's red-headed bastard stepchild.
The green guy Trident? is in one of the spiderman cartoons so I get why they are pushing that character.
Also, these new piece appear to have much better articulation than the last batches of shite Marvel gave us. Looks like they've just scaled down standard ML articulation.
Marvel hasbeen pretty into the Inhumans, who happen to be awesome.
Nope, Noir is a re-do of the SDCC Ultimate WWII Cap from a few years back
The Inhumans should join Cyborg Superman, Ben Reilly, Azrael Batman, US Agent, and Coy & Vance Duke in the Hall of Fame for Shitty Substitutes.
While the Byrne run is considered legendary, I really liked the post-Byrne Claremont era with Smith, Romita, & especially Silvestri far better. If I were stranded on a desert island and could only bring one run of 50 comics, it would be Mutant Massacre through the end of the Outback era.
The 90's were bad, and the franchise has has it's ups and downs since, mostly due to dilution (who needs 20 x-titles?!) and inability to establish a status quo and tell some stories before the next Marvel crossover comes along and forces everything to be new and different for absolutely no reason. When it was simply Uncanny, New Mutants, and X-Factor, it was coherent, tight continuity, and it was manageable from an editorial standpoint. It simply got out of control for a while.
However, none of that excuses Marvel for trying to force the Inhumans down everyone's throat. No one demanded it. They can't possibly even support a single title, much less the 3+ that they are foisting upon us.
Eh, I thought the first three years of X-Men vol. 2 were all right. I'll freely admit that this is nostalgia talking. I dig the concept of strike forces and it worked for a little while. I liked Fatal Attractions, too, even if it did span six fucking titles- including Excalibur.
At least they didn't actually ruin Wolverine with an origin story in the '90s, though there was feral Wolverine. So in the main I think maybe Nacho is right. Fuck the '90s.
Wait, is Rogue 4" scale? or 6"? Onslaught?
Goddamn them, that's confusing as hell. Just keep calling the 4" line "Universe" and the 6" scale "Legends". What reason was there to change it up?

Rogue and Red Skull Onslaught are 1:12.

Yes it there is a regular head.Oh wtf, Red Skull Onslaught? Marvel's just come up with too many fucking characters. I wondered what the skull noggin was from. Looks like it comes with a regular Onslaught head, though?
I wanted a large Onslaught, not a 6" one. No idea why they made that BAF the weird insectoid version and not the more iconic Onslaught. That Rogue looks good, but I already had a decent Legends Rogue.
