The Energon Pub

Has anyone else gotten these awesome figs yet?

I got the entire pitt series and I must say the pitt is well worth the price for all of them and the variants.

I haven't heard of these, what's the deal? Are they like the Marvel Legends?

Where'd you get them?

I think the only one I'm looking for is Witchblade.

Marvel is releasing Top Cow characters

Gotta explain this.

The toy company formerly known as Toybiz is a part of the Marvel Comics corporation. Not too long ago, Hasbro made Marvel a big money offer for the Marvel toy license. They got it, which left Toybiz with a big honking' gap where they once had "Marvel Legends".

So what Toybiz did was to change their name to "Marvel Toys" (probably in order to keep capitalizing on the name) and aquire licenses for several independent comic characters for a new line in the style of Marvel Legends: "Legendary Comic Book Heroes".

So what we have now in stores are (vastly inferior) Marvel Legends by Hasbro and Legendary Comic Book Heroes by Marvel Toys.

I can smell this lawsuit coming a mile away. Marvel sued City of Heroes just because it was POSSIBLE to copy certain marvel characters in the game. It is strongly discouraged, and you can be banned if you do it, but Marvel still sued.

Just saw the Judge Dredd ones at Walmart.
Not a big fan but the variants were neat.

I highly doubt it since Toy Biz is a division of Marvel Entertainment.

As odd as this toy arrangement might be, I'm excited!

Off the bat, I'd love to get Madman. When the line was announced, I emailed them to make Rocketeer. I got a reply back saying that he's on their wish list.

Wait, you think Marvel is going to sue themselves?

I just saw the Savage Dragon figure...I want it...

and, does anyone know if they are going to make a Jackie Estacado figure?

I saw these at Wal Mart last week and hopefully when I get paid again they will still have them..

I pre-ordered Witchblade on BBTS.

I really don't feel like looking for these.

Ahhh, sorry. Misunderstanding. I forgot that Toy Biz is connected to Marvel.

Funny thing... at one point in time, Toybiz owned Marvel.

I got them at a walmart about 20 minutes away from me in parksburg pa.

The Pitt is huge. It's a fantastic figure. My fav regular fig from that line is super patriot so far.

Hey Original Sin, yeah there making a darkness figure. He's in wave two. I want him as well.

I want the Pitt figure, but I just don't know most of these characters well enough to grab them.

And to think those could have been Spider-Man and the Symbiots!

I want Monkeyman from wave 2 (BAF), but mainly because I love Art Adams work, not really because of the character.

I'm not sure if I want to get any figures or not. I have to see them in the store, in my hand, before I can make a decision. Savage Dragon would be cool, Stryker from Cyberforce, I'm not sure who else...

As was said by others, I'm not big into these characters anymore.

I got Witchblade and passed on everyone else.

I would like to complete Pitt, but I'm not willing to buy the other figures (if anyone ends up with spare parts, let me know).

Ole' Sara is quite nice, Judge Dredd looked pretty good too.

Most of the others were a serious 'meh' though. I didn't find one decent looking Madman.

There was a time when I would have bought all of them and then gone back to read their stories, but now...

Even if I wanted to, I just don't have the space for more second string comic heros.

Savage Dragon would beat your face in for calling him second string
