Legendary Villains

Saw a picture of Marvel Legends Spiral online which looked pretty cool. Saw a comment about her being in the Children of the Atom game and …….


I can’t help but want to get complete line ups! My aim is to get the important and favourite characters, but there’s something about getting the most interesting and colourful characters so adding Spiral, Silver Samurai and Omega Red to my Legends lineup is not too much of a stretch, and in the case of the latter two, a couple of extra Wolverine villains is all good.



It’s a tough call on where to stop with Spider-Man and X-Men villains,  could easily get them all but there’s some very obscure ones which aren’t necessarily all that interesting. Part of the reason for getting Spiral was that I don’t have a 3.75” version. Generally sticking to favourite and main characters, and minor characters only if they’re part of a team is a good plan.


Decided to get Lady Deathstrike as well after watching X2, and after a bit of thinking and googling Spider-Man villains, decided also need Sandman, Electro and Hobgoblin. Then preordered Kraven, plus Baron Strucker for good measure. Went through cast lists of my favourite cartoons and have got all the ‘main’ characters. Think all sorted now!



Preordered Beachcomber but otherwise quiet month for Transformers. Keeping a close eye on Lego as well, with the Avengers Tower rumours firming up, I might also need a Quinjet. And now I think about it, maybe a Batwing (especially if the Batcave rumours are true).

Ordered a Lego Quinjet, and Baron Strucker and Ronan arrived. I’ve gone from X-Men villains, to Spider-Man villains, and finally on to Avengers villains (sort of, Ronan has been a villain for most Marvel heroes at some point). It’s been all about the Legends this month!
