I found Marvel Legends 12 at Wal-Mart today and Marvel Legends 11 at K-Mart. Sadly, there were no variants and if there was a Scarlet Witch, she was already gone. If you haven’t found them yet, they will be everywhere soon.

The newest series of Spider-man figures is showing up in Hong Kong right now. Current series are sporting 2 villians per wave instead of the ususal one. This one has a newly scultped Venom and all new Man-wolf. You can read the first review of Man-wolf over at Action-Figure.com today. The short version is the action feature hurts the figure. As is common with these figures, the action feature hurts the neck articulation and limits the head poseability. I suspect most fans will get this one anyway. I know I will. This series also debuts a packaging change for the line, and I am also in favor of that.

The official word from Toy Biz was that they were not happy with the Scarlet Witch figure so they cancelled the figure with plans to release her with a future wave.
Additionally, while this is an unconfirmed rumor, it is being reported that there will be a build-a-figure pack-in for Marvel Legends series 13 and that the pieces can be put together to form… Onslaught! If you want to find out exactly who Onslaught is, then you can view his character bio at MarvelDirectory.com.
