ToyFare #100: Marvel Legends News!

ToyFare #100 hit news stands last Wednesday but mine came in the mail just yesterday. I waited until to today to report this news so here goes. There were 2 major Marvel Legends announcements in this issue. First, series 12 will have 4 variant figures. This is a first for the line. Here is a list:

• Iron Fist (red costume, new head sculpt)
• Astonishing X-Men Wolverine (maskless)
• Bishop (bald)
• Sasquatch (white)

Each of these figures will contain a piece to build an 18 inch Apocalypse figure. This is also a first as the previous build a figures were listed as being 16 inches tall. Accorsing to ToyFare, these will be released in January. That means series 11 should be released soon.

Also announced, was a new toy line to bear the Marvel Legends name, Masterworks. These are being described as, "3D dioramas inspired by classic Marvel comic book covers." They are unposeable and ranging from 6 to 9 and a half inches in size. Each will come with the comic that the diorama depicts. I'm not sure how these will do but Toy Biz recently announced a fan poll that many believe is in connection with this line. No announcement has been made on what purpose the poll will serve in the line.
