Ok, Maximum Thor.

Quality is good. It's basically the optimized Marvel Legends hand feel. Plastic quality and construction is very much still a Marvel Legends, just the "best" version of that quality spectrum.

The wired cloth cape is great, but again, Hasbro shouldn't be locking wired cloth goods capes behind a $60 premium label. McFarlane and NECA are much smaller companies than Hasbro, and have been doing wired capes at the $25-$35 price point for years now. Hasbro has no excuse. This one on Maximum Thor feels great, and they could easily do this with their standard Marvel Legends.

Throg is a lot of fun.

The alternate heads are all great. You get standard stoic, screaming, and smirking. There are two hair pieces- regular hair and helmeted- that you can swap between them. The problem is that the regular hair never quite sits flush on any of the heads. For a $60 premium... come on.

Accessories, he's loaded. He's got Mjölner of course. He also has an alternate hand that has it permanently in flying pose. He's also got a spare Mjölner handle to slot into a little loop over his shoulder to mimic weapons storage. Disappointingly you can't use it for the full Mjölner. He also has all the hand and lighting effects you'd need.
The one item that he needs but doesn't have is the spinning Mjölner effects part. The lack of it is baffling since they already have the mould for it, so it's not like it would cost extra.

Finally, the heads of the Eradicator vs pack Thor are fully compatible. And I think I'll keep Maximum Thor on the shelf with vs pack Thor's bearded head/viking face mask look. It does go hard.

Finally he gets a proper viking drinking horn. Which rules.

All in all? I feel like the value is there. My main two nitpicks are a lack of the spinning Mjölner effect piece and the fact that the regular hair doesn't like to sit flush on any of the heads.

The cape issue is its own thing. I don't dislike that it's on this figure... I just think that other companies have proven Hasbro can do this style of cape on standard releases.

At the SDCC breakfast preview, Hasbro showed off new Marvel Legends:
The Crossing era Scarlett Witch and Vision plus another 2 pack with Black Widow and Quicksilver from the same era.
X-Men 97 deluxe Beast
Daredevil Born Again S2 Jessica Jones and Daredevil

I’m happy to see a 90s Scarlett Witch (need to finish my AWC/Force Works set), but less thrilled to see her packed with Vision. I already got a proper “white” Vision, so I’ll have to make a call on this set or roll my dice on another Scarlett Witch release.

That Black Widow and Quicksilver's been out for a while now.

As for Scarlett Witch and Vision... I love that Scarlett Witch. It's probably my favourite costume for her. But that plastic cape on Vision is obnoxious.

Will probably see if I can find someone selling Wanda separately on eBay.

Vision is the one I want, because it's "Vision in the body of the evil Gatherers Vision" or if you choose just an Evil Gatherer Vision.

Which makes it the first Gatherer toy ever.

-ZacWilliam, as Proctor isnt super likely to get a figure too soon I'll take it

Doom is coming…for your wallets!
Disney lifted the embargo on Doomsday reveals, so the licensees went all out:
Lego’s Doomsday offerings. Keep in mind that Lego’s releases have been…looser…with scenarios as Disney has strived to keep their Marvel and Star Wars film “secret”

Marvel Legends revealed. Note that the Fantastic Four are all seeming Walmart exclusive, Magneto is Amazon exclusive, the rest are wave 1, due this fall.

ActionVerse isn’t being left out, with Amazon getting an exclusive battle set with Dr. Doom and a Sentinel. Target, meanwhile, is getting a 3 pack with Thing, Thor and Cyclops (set exclusive?). Wave 1 figures are Dr Doom, Thor, Thing and Beast.

I don't know how I feel about this.

Out of the box.

Compared to other Storms.

I was wanting a 6 inch Storm but I couldn't find one with my favorite costume. My favorite costume is her original (seen on the 3 inch figure on the left). This outfit is actually my second-favorite costume. But at least I finally have a 6 inch Storm.
