Marvel Legends Iron Fist and Luke Cage is Accurate 

It looks like that writers strike was a great thing for the marvel legends team it forced them to do more comic based figures that 2 pack is a first day pre-order for me another great video Jeffrey

Maybe they might do a comic version of Jessica jones in her leather jacket. Like with modern Luke Cage in his yellow t shirt.

As a 2000s Marvel fan I see this as a win

We are in 100% agreement about this being the best legends year in history

I like this two pack. Also just want to say I always enjoy your videos and your community. Your genuine appreciation comes through and that's so much better than negativity.

I'm just happy to get a ironfist. Always wanted one of him and on this figure I can overlook somethings you pointed out. At the end of the day we got him!

I think a cool segment that I have yet to see on a toy channel would be to have toy customizers, compete to see if they can create a better action figure product than the major toy companies. Just a thought. Keep up the good work Brotha!

Yeah I want the mid 200s era Avengers, but I want a slightly different Luke Cage. I'd like to see him with the black tank and maybe a head with the beanie or shades. Still, I'm happy this period of comics is getting some love this year with that Iron-Man.

Great video. This all makes sense. Also question, what Dr. Strange figure would be great for comic look?

Waiting till 1pm next Tuesday for this, also hope Skaar goes up soon!! Heard retro carnage will be next week too

The only gripe I have is I kinda wish that they did the black and yellow track suit that Iron Fist had in his 2017 run!

Well, I have 4 Luke Cage now, I was going to Kitbash one into Mack from Agents of SHIELD. I only recently, about 2 weeks ago got the 4th as Walmart had a sale and I was able to get Luke Cage and Claire Temple 2-pack. So, I will throw my extra Luke Cage into an Exiles Team.

Nice update video, I guess we can't rag on Hasbro for being inaccurate. I didn't even notice the V/U thing at first, but when it was mentioned it did stick out, and I do love the classic versions. Dilemma! I think I'm just gonna wait and see if this two pack goes on sale. I don't want to pay full price for versions I am not completely into; just have that gamble they will do a full classic Iron Fist sometime (not guaranteed?!). I have a similar issue with the SHIELD 3 pack...I love the Nick Fury, I think the Duggan would be a great bonus (would buy as a 2 pack), but Sharon Carter is a figure that looks great but isn't my era and I am not bothered about. Budget is a thing! Again, I'll wait for a clearance sale (and of course risk missing out if the set sells out and never gets discounted). If they are doing three-packs, put some kind of discount on to make it more worthwhile, or they are just forcing people to get figures they wouldn't otherwise. I am definately buying Nefaria, Blacklash, She-Hulk, Ghost Rider and Warbird. Awesome reveals. Probably Wolverine as well, he looks great. Oh, and the Zola/Zemo pack. That's about £200 already :0

I think they should have included this modern Luke Cage in the Midnight Sons wave and the classic Luke in this two-pack. That's what people wanted. They could have done a modern Iron Fist look in a later wave, so we have that option.

I’m so happy we’re getting so many marvelous figures this year. Nice video Jeff!🫡

I was hoping to see Luke Cage have his bracers on his wrists. But those brass knuckles are pretty sick.

Iron Fist looks ALMOST perfect. My only gripe is that they didn't taper his open shirt and they used that chinty flame effect for the fist, but I have some ideas to customize his fist so a solid release. But I'm not happy that they stuck him in a 2 pack with a modern version of Luke Cage I don't want and don't need, so I gotta go sell that one on ebay. I'm starting to not like 2-packs. But this adds a much needed classic character, so I'm happy! Hoping we get some Iron Fist villains now! I'm also happy we get two nicely done expressive faces for Iron Fist, unlike what we saw with Luke Cage.

Thanks for your efforts on this video Jeffrey - they are appreciated. If a Marvel action figure collector wants to follow ML they must be cognizant that a lot of compromises have to be made to accept their product. This 2-pack is a compromise. Should the classic IF fan want this figure, they will need to compromise 3 things; 1) the design is not classic 2) it comes with an unwanted character and 3) the MSRP for the 2-pack will be double the cost for a single figure. If these compromises are acceptable then the collector has found some value in owning it. I've discovered that some compromises are not worth their price.

I am low-key hype for that two-pack because of this look of Luke Cage ( the first look I was introduced to). Followed by the 2016 Power Man and Ironfist run I read which was a good read. That all being said... I may pick this 2 pack up. I know this year I was going to walk away from ML except my favorite characters I wanted. Didn't think this would be the time that a majority of them would actually come out.

It's actually crazy how good of a year this will be for Legends. We're only in April and I've already ordered (or received) so many "must-haves." It's only April and I've already ordered more Legends this year than the last 2 years combined; maybe even 3 years. They seem dedicated to either giving us the perfect versions of certain characters (like Luke Cage, Ghost Rider, Sabretooth) or finally giving us characters we desperately need (Wolfsbane or Angel), and more times than not they are giving us unique tooling for these. (A lifelong Marvel fan) I've gone from painfully caring less about Legends and essentially abandoning the line for the last 3 years, to now Legends being my favorite line to collect again! This is what we've been begging them to do because we knew it was possible, and hopefully it pays off for them so that they can keep doing more of this and keep improving further. I'm perfectly happy to pay the full price for Legends that are properly done, than to catch mediocre ones on a discount.

So for me, this two pack works perfectly fine. I would have liked the 70s Luke with blue pants and v chest Iron Fist but hey, to me this is great. I mainly have grown up with the modern looks of these characters and I think this captures their modern looks very well. Trust me, this will be a major hit. Classic or not, people will love this cause we really did need a better version of both of these.

You have no idea how long I've wanted an iron fist action figure 😅

I wonder…did they ever have a new Yellowjacket rumor out there? I really want that.

Honestly, modern Luke Cage appeals to my taste buds in many ways! This will be a day 1 preorder for me 😮‍💨

Can’t believe I never thought of this until now, but a Misty Knight Colleen Wing two pack would be an awesome complement to this. Fingers crossed. Has there ever been a figure of the both of them before? And I’m talking comic version not Netflix.

Loving this back and forth in hasbro with marvel and gi joe. They're both knocking it out of the park

This or the Joe Fixit two pack

I’m still getting the 2-pack even if it’s not classic.

It should of been classic cage with iron fist in this release but hasbro really dropped the ball with that last luke cage release so I'm glad we getting the modern cage

A classic HEROES FOR HIRE Luke Cage Power Man in his original digs with a classic Iron Fist is what I was wanting. Not going to lie, the t-shirt and jeans Luke Cage just does nothing for me. He doesn't have the visual appeal and mystique of the classic badass Marvel character, IMO. The minor tweak to Iron Fist's costume is an annoyance, but it's a minor thing that I can live with. It's a pointless tweak that makes me roll my eyes, but hey, whatever. lol I want the Iron Fist, but I don't want the modern looking Luke. I'd be more okay with this if that classic Luke we got actually had waist articulation, etc, but no. Hasbro couldn't give fans of the classic comics even that. I bet the modern one is super-articulated though. Get off my lawn, Legends team! Get off my lawn!!

Nothing will beat the Mezco iron Fist...for now. now if mezco wold do a proper Luke Cage!

I jumped on this as well. I need a Daredevil figure though. A comic one. I like the new double pack one but dont want the hydroman. Even though that is anime based, could still work. Older versions simply are too expensive.

Thank you for clearing things up, but now I wonder, why did they give us Power Man? Thats like peanut butter and no jelly, ham, no burger, bevis and no butthead lol.

Welcome back knightfall batman. Back to the old camera?

the only power man and iron fist i read was the original ones so danny will go with my marvel knights power man lol

I hope that we get a comic book accurate version of Jessica Jones in her street gear. :)

I thought the presentation was great. My least excitement was for Hulk’s son but his figure looks cool too!

So many 2 packs...

THAT is the Luke Cage I want. I don’t need some figure of a look the character hasn’t worn since the damned EIGHTIES! I gleefully skipped that 70s throwback,Blaxploitation,figure. He literally fits with NO ONE but Iron Fist with the modern one can go with Fist,the Thunderbolts ,The New and Mighty Avengers( Cage,Blade,Superior Spider-Man,Blue Marvel,Photon,She Hulk)

It's obvious that Marvel is trying to keep fans from getting figures based on the silver age. They constantly push this new age look that started in the middle of the 2000s. I wouldn't care if they made the newer costume as a store exclusive and gave the rest of us a classic version.

Iron Fist's outfit isn't wrong, its just that the classic collar ended in a "V" shape, his entire abdomen wasn't exposed like that. Its disappointing they went with that but its not technically "wrong". The good thing is that there could be a 70s 2 pack coming, hopefully with Luke's disco shirt and an ab crunch and not exposing the arm pits.

I think Iron Fist still looks ok despite the V in his top.

Honestly I don’t care if it’s completely accurate or not, people need to appreciate the fact that at least we’re getting a classic Ironfist!! You give people what they want and they’ll still complain regardless, they’ll never be satisfied..

Since its a classic iron fist i would want a classic luke cage power man like the old 2pk i dont really like the new luke cage who just looks like a street guy and not a hero . I'll wait it out for the hype to die down once everybody got it and buy iron fist on secondary market just like im doing sabretooth . Patience is a virtue and so is timing . I also wish that they had used this buck of luke cage for the powerman fig who is undersized .

Iron fist looks great, I would rather have classic Powerman in a two pack.

I hate being THAT guy but i have to point out that lately Marvel Legends has been knocking it out of the park with their black characters. Tombstone, Luke Cage, Blade, and Retro Prowler have all been hits. It isnt a racial thing for me but i did feel for collectors that for a while black characters were getting overlooked or not given much detail. Here's hoping now i get more Spiderman characters like Robbie Robertson and Slyde to add

When they revealed this two-pack, I immediately noticed the stupid rectangular neck cut on Iron Fist. Being a more classic fan of Marvel, obviously he's supposed to have a V neck top. I looked up pictures of Iron Fist and saw that this specific design was used as recently as a 2021 run. What absolutely sucks is this design is close enough to the design people actually wanted that they won't release another with the proper design anytime soon. I absolutely hate Hasbro for this.

Yeah booooooy, looking forward to the hero for hire and the skarr action figures

The 2-pack makes sense economically. Why? Because now not only the fans of 70s comic-crap but also the fans of actually good comics will buy this set.

Great catch and explanation. If we are going to call out Hasbro for mistakes, we have to give them credit and check ourselves when we get it wrong and they get it right.

I hope the folks that don’t like the two pack don’t buy it. The Ghost Rider is all I’m getting. I think by the end of the year it will be more hate and complaints about Hasbro and marvel legends than praise. That’s usually the case. As much hate as the fans give I’m always shocked that marvel legends is still in business.

👍🏽

Yeah, dropped the ball big time with the 2-pack. If they're going to do 2-packs, then they shouldn't mix modern characters with classic figures or comic figures with MCU figures. Make the 2 packs logical. But logic is a foreign concept to Hasbro.

That's not comic accurate for Luke Cage. They just released his classic look. The reboot version is not exciting. He just looks like a dude in street clothes. At least give me some body builder muscle tone.
