MARVEL LEGENDS MOST WANTED THE SEARCH CONTINUES. PRESUMED DEAD?

EPIC HEROES SERIES 3 VARIANTS             REPORT: USAGENT2009. THE MYSTERY CONTINUES....UNLESS IF YOUR LIKE MOST OF US, YOU'VE GIVEN UP ALL HOPE OF EVER SEEING THESE FIGURES ANYWHERE ON PLANET EARTH. LUCKY FOR US "HAS BLOW" PROBABLY SHIPPED THE RETURN OF MARVEL LEGENDS TO CHINA.WHICH MEANS THE RETURN IS NOTHING MORE THAN THE EQUIVALENT OF AN OLD EX GIRLFRIEND WHO SHOULD HAVE REMAINED AN EX. AND IT ALSO APPEARS THE HAPPY PEOPLE OF CHINA ASKED TO OVERSEE THIS PROJECT ARE APPARENTLY NOT EAGER TO RAMP UP PRODUCTION FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN 50 CENTS AN HOUR OR THE COST OF AN EGG ROLL.THEN AGAIN WHO WOULD BE EAGER TO WORK ON OUR TOYS FOR LESS THAN ENOUGH PER HOUR TO FEED A SMURF? DOES SWEAT SHOPS HAVE TO BE IN CHARGE OF OUR MOST WANTED ACTION FIGURE LINE OR CAN WE PLEASE SHIP ALL MARVEL TOY PRODUCTION TO DC COMICS WHO SEEM TO KEEP THINGS ON A TIME FRAME THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE AN ENTIRE YEAR OF BROKEN PROMISES? THE ONLY REAL ANSWER TO COME FROM ALL THIS ON MESSAGE BOARDS AND CURRENT INFORMATION ON THE WEB INDICATES NOTHING BIG ENOUGH TO PUT ON THE BACK OF A MILK CARTON.

NOTHING SHORT OF AN ENTIRE CASE CONSISTING OF ALL VARIANTS SERIES 3 & 4 TOSS IN SERIES 5 VARIANTS AS IT TOO WILL PROBABLY NOT COME OUT UNTIL THE DEATH OF THE MARVEL 3 3/4 LINE OR THE COMING OF A RETURN TO THE "REAL RETURN OF MARVEL LEGENDS" COULD NOW FIX THIS ISSUE. TO MAKE MATTERS EVEN WORSE IS THE FACT THAT THIS FALSE COMPANY IN CHARGE OF A TOY THAT WAS ONCE HAILED AS THE KING OF SUPERHERO ACTION FIGURES SEEMS TO FIND (ADULT COLLECTOR) HUMOR IN THE RE-RELEASING OF MOLDS TO ACTION FIGURES TIME AND TIME AGAIN THROUGHOUT EACH WAVE TO TAUNT AND BADGER US. HENCE OUR EXTREMIS IRON MAN MOLD THAT HAS BEEN USED NOW THREE TIMES. TWO OF WHICH WERE IN THE TERRAX WAVE. ONE BEING THE EXTREMIS ARMOR ITSELF & THE OTHER IT'S VARIANT IN BLUE WHICH IS A LAME KNOCK OFF UPDATED STEALTH ARMOR EXTREMIS SUIT. THE THIRD CAREFULLY SLIPPED IN ON THE NOW NEW IRON MAN MARVEL LEGENDS LINE AS A MODERN IRON PATRIOT VERSION. "NOTE: THIS LINE IS THE MOST CREATIVE IDEA SINCE THE TAKE OVER OF THIS ILL FATED RETURN." 


 NEED I CONTINUE? LET'S BASH AWAY SOME MORE SHALL WE? "WRECKING CREW DOUBLE USE OF THE SAME BODY CAST RING A BELL?" OR HOW ABOUT "BIG TIME SPIDER-MAN ?" WHO "YES" ALSO SHARES THE SAME ENTIRE MOLD AS THE FF SPIDER-MAN VARIANT! MAYBE WE CAN TOSS IN FANTOMEX WHO IF NOT FOR MY DISGUSTED OPINION AND LAZY NO LONGER CARING ATTITUDE, PROBABLY SHARES MORE THAN JUST HIS COAT MOLD WITH THE PUNISHER FROM SERIES 3 AND THAT MILK CARTON KIDNAPPED BLADE WE ARE ALL STILL CALLING IN EVERYONE FROM BATMAN TO SHERLOCK HOLMES TO FIND FOR US! I COULD GO ON BUT AH, WHO CARES? IF IT ISN'T BAD ENOUGH  THEN THE ENTIRE VARIANT SERIES 4 MILK CARTON KIDS SHOULD HAVE US ALL SCREAMING BY THE END OF THIS REVIEW! DID I MENTION MY DISGUST? WHAT REALLY MAKES ME ENRAGED IS THE SHEER STUPIDITY OF HOW A COMPANY WHO PRIDES THEMSELVES ON HELPING THE COLLECTOR CONTINUE THEIR TOY LINE CAN SIT SILENT ON THE ISSUE? YOU WOULD THINK SOMEONE IN CHARGE WOULD CARE ENOUGH TO POST A GENERAL EXPLANATION OR RESOLVE TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THE MERE FACT THAT SO MANY COLLECTORS HAS SHELLED OUT SO MUCH CASH OVER 12 YEARS STANDING BY THE MARVEL LEGENDS BRAND.

AND NOT A CLEAR REASONING IS PUT OUT TO PUT ANYONE AT EASE. THE BIGGEST DUMB MOVE EVER TO COME FROM THIS IS THE PACKAGING CARD DESIGN WHICH INCORPORATES THE ART OF BOTH THE REGULAR FIGURE AND IT'S VARIANT ON THE FRONT OF THE BLISTER. THIS NOT ONLY SIGNIFIES THE PROMISE OF A VARIANT, BUT ALSO BACKS THE COMPANY INTO A CORNER SHOWING HOW THE BALL MAY EVENTUALLY BE DROPPED. THE FINAL TWO NAILS IN THE COFFIN ARE THE OPEN BLANK TO IF THERE IS GOING TO BE IN FACT A VARIANT TO THE DEADPOOL & THE ARCHANGEL ACTION FIGURES? SINCE NO ONE SMART ENOUGH IN THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS IN PRODUCTION AND DESIGN KEPT ANYTHING CONSISTENT WITH THE CARD WHICH SHOWS NO VARIANT IN THE ARTWORK. NOTHING WITH MARVEL LEGENDS MAKES ANY SENSE ANYMORE. FROM DEADLINES, TO ART, TO VARIANTS AND RELEASING OF WAVES. SERIES 3 CAME OUT IN SPORADIC FASHION WITH NO VARIANTS, FOLLOWED BY IRON MAN MARVEL LEGENDS AT ONLY HALF OF IT'S ENTIRE SERIES BEING RELEASED INSTEAD OF ALL SIX FIGURES WITH ONLY HALF A BUILD A FIGURE TO LOOK AT FOR THE NEXT GOD KNOWS HOW MANY MONTHS. WHILE SERIES 4 COMES RIGHT BEHIND A HIT AND A MISS ON THE RADAR STORE PEG SHELVES. AND STILL NO VARIANTS! SO WE HAVE ALL OF SERIES 3 MINUS THE VARIANTS AND NO CLUE OF WHICH WILL SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AND WHEN. HALF OF AN IRON MAN WAVE WITH THREE MISSING , NO RELEASE DATE TO COMPLETE THE ENTIRE SET. AND A FEW OF SERIES 4 TURNING UP WITH NO VARIANTS AND NO DATE. I CAN SAY IN TWO WORDS TO END MY REVIEW. "IT'S DISGUSTING!"

IN ALL HONESTY I WANT THIS LINE TO DO WELL. I WAITED FOR EVER TO FINALLY HEAR IT'S RETURN. SO FAR THE RETURN HAS BEEN LONG AND WEAK. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE IT SEEMS TO SHARE THE SPOTLIGHT WITH THE 3 3/4 LINE WHICH SEEMS TO GET ALL THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING A BIT MORE CONSISTENT AND TAKEN MORE SERIOUS AT THE PRODUCTION LEVEL.  IT'S RATHER SICKENING THAT NO ONE CAN ANSWER A QUESTION LIKE THIS FOR ALMOST A YEAR SINCE THE FIRST PICTURES OF SERIES THREE CAME OUT. WHATS WORSE IS THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE PEOPLE IN PLACE ALREADY WORKING ON AND RELEASING PICTURES TO THE NEXT TWO WAVES AND A WOLVERINE SPIN OFF WAVE WITHOUT ANYTHING DONE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. ITS LIKE A KID THAT HAS AN ENTIRE PLATE OF CANDY AND STILL HAS NOT FINISHED HIS SUPPER. I'M STILL AS A COLLECTOR ASKING WHY I HAVE TO TRAVEL TO FOUR STATES AND A DOZEN STORES TO COMPLETE A WAVE OF 5-8 FIGURES OVER THE COURSE OF 8 MONTHS AND GET TOLD BY STORE EMPLOYEE'S  THE SAME REDUNDANT STORY OF HOW THE DISTRIBUTION HOUSE ONLY SENDS THEM TWO STINKING CASES EVERY 4-6 MONTHS? I STILL BELIEVE THAT MARVEL LEGENDS STILL COULD HOLD IT'S TRUE PLACE AS THE BEST. BUT THE RISE IN COSTS AND THE LACK OF COMPASSION TO PRODUCE AND KEEP COSTS REASONABLE HAVE MADE ME LIKE MANY I TALK TO WHO STILL COLLECT WISH IT WOULD RETURN OR SIMPLY GO AWAY. MY PASSION FOR MARVEL LEGENDS AND MY COLLECTING OVER 20 YEARS HAS LED ME TO DROP THE REVIEWS FOR A FEW HOURS AND COME TO BAT FOR THE COLLECTORS AND THE FANS ON THIS ISSUE WHICH I'M SAD TO SAY HAS ME BEYOND ANGER FOR MANY MONTH'S AND LEFT WITH A FEELING OF BETRAYAL BY A TOY COMPANY AND LINE I RAN TO THE STORE AS A FAN TO HUNT DOWN AND DROP MY HARD EARNED CASH ON EVERY WEEK. ARTICULATION IS FLAWED. PACKAGING IS CHEAPLY MADE FROM WHAT IT ONCE WAS AND A KID WHICH COLLECTS AS WE ALL ONCE STARTED OUT AS CANT EVEN FIND THESE IN THE STORES. SO IF YOUR THE LEADER THEN DOESN'T IT MAKE SENSE A LEADER HAS TO SHOW HIS OR HER FACE?
