Getting back to the retro 3.75 line from Marvel Legends and filling the gaps in my collection from the last two waves and then they announce that the line is being ‘rested’.
So what’s that mean exactly? Has the line finished? Will we see more added further down the line?
One more wave set to drop and then that’s it so there’s still a few more reviews to come…. keep an eye on the channel!

Colllectors sadly didn''t realize the point of this line, which was not about articulation but providing the unique opportunity to get the most iconic representation of our comic book characters from the late 70s and early 80s, like a "what if they were on sale back in the day?". Regular 6" don't provide this magic. Displaying them is fantastic, The line is pretty solid. I want Hasbro to come back and complete at least the "John Byrne era" UNCANNY X-MEN team (Colossus, Nightcrawler...) and core characters still missing like Doctor Strange. Please do that as a gift for all the fans who strongly believe in this exceptionnal line.
I agree…
I loved it as a line and really hope to see it return
marvel should've just bring back the marvel universe 3.75 line instead of this
@@aqshal4084 I disagree and here is the problem => I was not collecting the marvel universe 3.75 because these were not the figures I was looking for. Articulation was there, but proportions and overall shape of the figure was not. The retro line had the shape of the figures that I wanted, with heroes wearing suits from the 70's and 80's that I wanted (more iconic). Not everything should be about articulation. Now I have nothing left to buy
@@JacobsToys I'm happy we got all 3 of the Spider Friends: Spider-Man, Ice-Man and Firestar. Then I was pleased we got all 4 of the Fantastic Four along with Dr. Doom, Spider Woman, Ghost Rider w/his motorcycle, The Green Goblin and most of the Avengers.
And The Punisher & Wonder Man
They still have yet to do character like Doctor Strange, iron fist, wasp, hawkeye,Blade,Punisher, and other villains like Dormammu, Red Skull, Baron Zemo, and it would have been cool to have gotten Surtur about the same size as the robot sentinels
....and an exclusive Galactus,( done even bigger than the Sentinal) would also be cool, Kingpin, Doc Oc, Tombstone, Scarlet Witch Black Cat and Morbius plus a cool Dr. Xavier and Hover Chair in the same style box as Ghost Rider! Imagine..
so gutted they're stopping just as I discover and get the buzz, I've got 16 card backs plus the Ghost Rider in my collection so far.
Love this line. They are perfect in their simplicity. They need to bring in sets of 4 and characters from secret ways such as ultron, kang erc. Even a fun simple vintage style play set.
Less has always been more for me. I love the scale and simplicity of what the line strived to do. It’s the only line I’ve ever sought after every figure and it was something I had to look forward to. I miss collecting these
What got me into the line was how many Fantastic Four characters were being released. I'm not just talking about the OG members but all the alternative teams too. I mean we got a Ghost Rider and classic Power Man / Luke Cage, who ever believed that would happen? My biggest regret is we're missing Byrnes era She-Hulk.
should have given us the OG punisher.
I'm just glad most of the missing characters are easy to customize by part swapping. Punisher would probably be black panther with a retooled thor head + guns
Gutted. I love them. Have the entire carded collection on my wall!! Was realy looking forward to where they would take it.. was hoping for Prof. X, Banshee, Kingpin, a HUGE Galactus, Lizard, OG Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D, Punisher. The Ghost Rider figure is great, but wish it had the box with clear window.. little things really. I hope they will bring them back, but now the SDCC reveals of the Spider-Man animated show run and X Men 97, as well as the new 4" Legends figures, it looks like the have been "stealth" cancelled :(
If they come back would love a Punisher, Jigsaw, Cable, Gambit, Mr Sinister, Jack O Lantern
I really liked this line and have all the figures. There’s a lot of villains that I would like to have seen such as Doc Ock, Mysterio, Rhino, Kang, Baron Zemo, Hobgoblin, Red Skull, Shocker, Kingpin, and the Lizard.
Yeah there was so much untouched potential with other characters!
I love this line and have tried to pick every one of them up when I see them (sometimes 2, because I’m an opener but these look absolutely awesome hanging carded on my wall) but I haven’t seen a new wave hit my area in about a year and I check my local stores a LOT. Add to that the fact that you can’t find these on the Target or Walmart apps very easily - if at all - and you can kind of see why the line faltered. Damn shame. Great vid, thanks for the bad news! (No seriously, great video as always!)
Watch Carbon Scoring's recent video with Steve Evans. It hints that we may yet see my favourite line rise up again sometime in the future.
Here in CANADA a dollar type store here has received the last couple of waves .. $ 5 each ...so I was able to finally pick up a bunch ...still need many sadly..The price is so much better than wally fart at 18.00each CDN..ugh
not quite same feeling of the real 80's classic such as Secret Wars, but still interesting collection, missing why not, vehicles and playsets
Excellent video! I hope they bring the line back and give us Doctor Octopus, Mole-Man, The Red Skull, Mephisto, Medusa, Kitty Pryde/Shadow Cat, The Beast, Night Crawler, Colossus, Dazzler, Professor Xavier, Shana The She-Devil, Namor, Dr. Strange, The She Hulk, The Wasp, The Scarlett Witch,The Sand-Man, Crystal and The Punisher. Also War-Path, Mystique, Jean Grey(in her non-dark phoenix form),Emma Frost,Apocalypse and Mister Sinister. Then Rogue,Gambit and Jubilee.
Took me a while to appreciate this line, but this is the Marvel I remember from my childhood. The packaging is the most important part to me
Jacobs Toys hey man I wanted Marvel Legends Retro
1. Abomination
2. Leader
3. Absorbing Man
If you want to be technical Hasbro has been making those 3 3/4 inch figures with basic articulation selling them in conjunction with the main Legends line. they were available at stores like Family Dollar or Dollar General or Big Lots so they have always been on and off with that particular style of action figures
I just heard of the these this week! I bought 12 different ones at a closeout store called Marcs for $3.99 a piece!! These are definitely retro, reminding me of 70's actions figures, and EXTREMELY detailed!! Doing another hunt today!!
They are fantastic and such a shame they are stopping….hoping we get them again!
Look out for the sentinel!
they could have at least given us a 1970's Punisher.
I love this line. I'm only 15 characters in as they only turn up sporadically here in New Zealand, but I'm gonna keep going until I have the set... it's gonna be way easier than completing a Star Wars collection (which I've pretty much given up on)!
I wanted a punisher in this style
Same!
It is simply the best collection of Marvel figures that Hasbro has released with the Kenner label, because they have enormous quality. The Kenner 3.75" Retro Spider-
Man is far superior to the 4" Epic Spider-Man. I don't think Hasbro will end the Marvel Kenner retro 3.75" line, it had huge sales. But the price was very high and the
stock in the stores was very full. They also made the mistake of repeating figures. They still need to release more Spider villains -Man in his classic designs such
as: Doctor Octupus, Lizard, Vultere, Mysterio, Kraven, Rhino, Shocker, Morbius, Tomston, Carnage and Kingpin. All those figures in their classic designs are money in
sales... and villains of the Marvel Universe : Ultron, Red Skull, Super Skull, Mole Man, Mephisto, Beyonder, Sentry, Gladiator and of course Thanos in 4" and Galactus
in 12" in their classic designs would be successful in sales... and from Marvel Superheroes: Iron Fist, Jessica Jones to complete the Defenders and Spiderman 2099 and
the new best figure: Dr. Strange or Punisher classic design (Habro Kenner retro, take my money)... It would be great to see in this collection all the remaining X-Men:
Beast, Nightcrowler, Colosus, Kitty Pryte, Rogue, Gambit, Bishop with their villains: Mister Sinister, Omega Red, Sabretooth, Sebastian Saw and Apocalypse. Those
characters in the figures of this series are money in sales. But the problem is the licenses for the new X-Men 90s animation and its line of figures in Epic 4”, I
think the licenses clash... and Namor to complet the classic Avengers colection in his original desings.
In the end, the customers decide and I don't see the Marvel Epic 4" line figures having good sales, the Marvel Kenner Retro 3.75" figures had better sales.
They have popped up in dollarama so now all of toronto has a collection.
Really? Thanks for sharing
@@JacobsToys theyre going for $5cad at dollarama, i got all of wave 6 for basically the price of one from gamestop is 18.99 before membership.
Looks like theres some stuff from wave 3-6. Alot of things and thors left over.
A punisher would have been nice as well as a Scarlett Witch to go with Vision, a Colossus and Nightcrawler to round out the classic X-Men, a She-hulk (any, FF, Savage or Avengers, hint, more repaints Harsbro!), Alpha Flight, Hobgoblin, etc etc. I think Hasbro has proven time and again, they like to bait people, then do the old switcheroo at the end, which should be pissing people off enough to boycott Hasbro products altogether, but people's addictions are so deep that's next to impossible, so they'll continue to screw us every time and laugh about it all the way to the bank!
I did a custom punisher, but agree with all your suggestions!
If only they could get the same treatment as the marvel universe figures from back in the day. Without marvel universe figures, we wouldn’t have marvel legends.
That's what we call you got, got, just like we all did😢😮
@@darrylwilson4218 yep marvel universe started it all before marvel legends. Toy biz had its time back then before hasbro took over.
I went pretty crazy with marvel universe 3.75 figures and sold my whole collection. So the retro line going for more then those figures went for with less articulation really held no appeal for me!!🤷♂️
When is someone gonna fix the Marvel Legends "Legends Collector" app....???
Currently between developers, full archive available on my website in the interim
Moonknight looks so dope. I have sentinel n usagent
I really hope these will come back at some point! I was so looking forward to have Wanda to match Vision…
I also would’ve loved to see She-Hulk and the Wasp. I adore the style of this series so much, I just know they would have looked amazing
Yeah I hope so!
what 4" line? i've seen none of them.
It’s a line aimed at a younger demographic than these
@@JacobsToys i found more videos on this line. it appears that the Dino-Mech-Strike toys at my Walmart and the 1 Hulk figure are from this line. i just assumed they were the same size and articulation as the Black panther figures on the pegs (since you can't see inside the boxes without windows, and the hulk is bigger anyways). I like the idea, but so far the selection is for figures i already have...and many. Back when Marvel Universe made 3.75" figures of the Iron Man movie, they made dozens upon dozens of Iron Man. Will they do more obscure figures? I want a Spider-Punk but i hate 6" figures and refuse to buy the ML version.
No idea. I think there’s a real market for 3.75 and I’m shocked it’s not been tapped into more
@@JacobsToys i wish i kept all of the Marvel Universe figures i had back in the day. they were an excellent line of 3.75" figures
These should of been the size of The 80s Mattel Secret Wars . These are too small for me.
Retro line was junk, good news
