Look For Official Marvel Legends Reveals Next Friday (5/22) From Hasbro

Team boxsets of the core members of various classic teams such as the Invaders, Starjammers, Squadron Supreme, Serpent Society, 80s Masters of evil, Champions & Imperial Guard are a must. Each of those teams consist of characters that fans have been wanting done for yrs.

I'm all for more box sets like Alpha Flight. That was great getting a team at once. I'd be up for a redo of First Appearance X-Men as the first one was a little lacking. I'd really like a First Appearance Brotherhood of Evil set though. I'd definitely pre-order that.

I can't wait for that Age of Apocalypse fig he looks cool. That entire retro wave is a must have for any spider man fan or collector. The Nimrod fig looks cool, how will they release him? And it's also about time to release a comic version of War Machine

Apologies for continuing to steer this thread off topic, but my (admittedly uninformed) guess is that the original intention wasto do an Inhumans movie. however Ike screwed that up with his terrible Inhuman tv series, so they instead took whatever ideas they had for Inhumans and adapted them for the Eternals. Granted, marvel has demonstrated they can make hay with obscure characters, but generally those obscure characters have at least some sort of fanbase among comic fans (e.g., the modern GotG). I can come up with some comic stories i enjoyed that featured the Inhumans, but i'm pretty hard pressed to come up with many stories where the eternals really made an impression, outside of Sersi joining the avengers for awhile (which i never read anyhow). Even the Gaiman story really didn't do much for me. Of course others mileage may vary. Plus the Inhumans are just much more interesting visually. But I'm trying to keep an open mind about the Eternals movie and certainly plan to see it, just wish phase 4 was starting off with more of a bang to keep the fan base pumped up.

I hear you. I'll say this, I might be interested in comics based Marvel Legends Eternals way more than what this MCU project looks to be. I think you're right about the comic fanbase for Eternals- it wasn't really that big, but not surprising, as I the comic came out during the height of the 70's von Daniken bs. Very short lived and very niche.And tailor made for Kirby; the bad guys are all ugly and mean and the good guys all good looking and heroic. Simplistic tripe, even for comic books.

Considering howintricate and overly complicated Kirby tended to make his characters, it would be a lot forHasbro, but still would lookcool. Give em all eye beam accessories and great paint jobs...they would make for some interesting Marvel Legends!

The overwhelming majority of people in the mainstream audience don't read comics, so of all the potential issues an Eternals movie faces, them being obscure really isn't one of them. The entire marketing pitch for Guardians of the Galaxy was joking about how nobody knows who any of these characters are.

The Marvel brand is what sells most of the movies at this point.

I honestly cant see why Marvel is bothering with an Eternals movie when there are so very many other characters they could do, not to mention concentrate on beefing up what they already have. Besides, the pictures I've seen, the characters don't look anything like the Eternals from the comics. At least most of the MCU properties made an effort there. But maybe Eternals will be their answer/place holder to the FF, like Inhumans was the answer to the X-Men.

And that turned out so well right?

All jokes aside, I may not be pumped for Eternalsright now,but I can be optimistic. They certainly have a lot of work ahead of them.

Man that went fast. Already sold out. Hopefully they run another pre-order, really want this guy but shudder to think of paying scalper prices.

have had luck with every Walgreens exclusive except Mystique, fingers crossed I can get MK without dropping my budget on one character

Agree with all of this. Eternals is gonna need all the hype it can get, as i think many more casual fans will view Endgame as a satisfactory conclusion to the MCU, Other than Spidey's identity being exposed and Star Lord's pursuit of Gamora, feels like there isn't anything else that needs to be wrapped up. Of course i plan to see both Widow and eternals myself, but not as pumpedup as i was for the earlier phase movies.
