Funny how all of the Toy Biz Legends vanished from the Target shelves and the Hasbro Legends appeared on January 1st, eh?
My local Target was re-doing their toy department and I ran across a sealed case of Hasbro Legends. I picked up all 6 since Annihilius has been at the top of my "want" list for quite some time. I'm not as disappointed as most of the posters at FWOOSH who are regarding these new figures as utter crap.
Although I must admit, I'm less than impressed with the Spider-Man Origins line... the paint jobs on those figures are less than stellar. In fact, I'd call them downright shoddy. They remind me of those bootleg Legends toys you can find in Tijuana where they pack Spider-Man in with a Bat-Man and a "Hulk-Man."
Annihilus is a bit pastel (who am I kidding? He's a LOT pastel!) but otherwise is a fine addition to the series. The only other figure I'm keeping from this set is Ultimate Iron Man.
Does anyone know if Hasbro is going to continue with the 12" Icons line? I was really looking forward to that Dr. Doom!
- J!
