[edit] Corrections For Accuracy

Someone had recently added under series 8 a variant of Storm in her white costume. Such a figure does exist, but was not part of the Marvel Legends line, but rather, the X3 tie-in figures released around the same time as the movie, so I went ahead and removed it.

[edit] Additional Notes

I've added a few details that I felt were worthy of indicating. I included more elaboration on the differences between the Hulks in the Galactus series (in particular, the heads), and made note of the Scarlet Witch's somewhat confusing release and her subsequent "rarity" in series 11.

[edit] Current Topic

Removed the following: Waves 3 (Zues Series)

  • Zues(Build-a-figure)

I find no information to support this, the person who added it doesn't have an account and left not edit notes. Notice the user initially entered Hydroman and Neptune which changed minutes later to Scorpion and Pseidon. Also a varaint such as a "fire variant" would exceed the typical variant stlye of simply chaning the head or repainting. Acglass 16:32, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Previous Discussions

Added a street date for series 10 and changed angels costume info, when he was on X factor he wore a blue body suit with a yellow X more or less like Cycs costume

Im thinking of striking SW off the list, apprently shes been cancled

I would say keep her on the list--although she has been delayed for certain and possibly cancelled for good, unlike other "might-have-been" figures (like Crimson Dynamo) she actually made it all the way to packaging, twice and since some collectors have her, I'd say leave her on the list. She goes for over $100 on eBay as of right now, but I suspect she's an important enough character that Toy Biz will release her when they are satisfied with the mold.

Added the Build a Figure concept to the description. Scarlet Witch has indeed been pulled from series 11 but will, according to sources at ToyBiz, be released eventually.

Edited the Sentinel link to link to the Wiki page for Sentinels rather than the Comic title "Sentinel."

Removed "(Marvel Versus Series") from seires 8, as it was not such a series.

I have wikified the page a lot (added links on all the characters, boy that was tedious!) and added a bit more information as to the origins of the line (spun off of Spider-man Classics), the related lines, and the excitement surrounding series 13 and the cancelled henchman figures. Apologies if it doesn't show my login, I forgot I wasn't logged in when I made the edits! Alaren 01:26, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Compiled much of the newly added information to flow more smoothly. Alaren 23:19, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Here's that production photo with the henchmen and Crimson Dynamo if anyone wants to add it to the page. http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i20/Death-Weed/ML13.jpg DeathWeed 01:16, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Series Fourteen Variants

If there are no objections, I plan on removing the term "unreleased" from the Power Man and Psylocke lines, as a limited number of each have been available on eBay [1] and have been confirmed as genuine by the AFA. [2] I am open to replacing "unreleased" with "rare" or a similar term.Ti dave 17:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I would leave them as unreleased as it seems these and the series 15 blue wasp figure were some sort of packaging test and those that have sold on ebay have never been through a retail outlet. (Mikey01 05:24, 28 April 2007 (UTC))

[edit] References

This article is filled with uncited claims and is written like a fan's collectibles guide/checklist and not an encyclopedia article. And eBay listings, as part of a commercial auction/sales site, are disallowed as reference sources. Without citations for the ostensible announcements and for claimed statements by people, such as Jesse Falcon, much of this material cannot stay.

If the currently uncited statements are true, citations can be found. If no citations can be found, that should tell us something. --Tenebrae 04:10, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Marvel legends logo.gif

Image:Marvel legends logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
