I finally found a Ultron Marvel Legends action figure. I suspect you
will start seeing them in major toy chains, such as Toys R Us, Walmart,
or Target soon.
I keep seeing the Ghost Rider figure in stores though...
The action figure is based on the later Ultron, which isn't one of my
favorite designs... I guess I just like the classic Ultron look. He's
very poseable, according to the box it has "29 points of articulation",
which is pretty insane !
For hardcore Pérez collector, you will have to pick this up for the reprinted version of AVENGERS Vol 3, #22. The reprint has a "NOT FOR RESALE" on the cover as well as a new print date of June 2005.
All the original advertisements were replaced with Marvel or Toy Biz (no surprise).
The comic is printed on flimsy newsprint paper, very similiar to DC's trade paperback books like WONDER WOMAN: BEAUTY AND THE BEASTS, except the color looks muted and not as bright.
Look for
MARVEL LEGENDS SERIES 11: TASKMASTER which comes with a reprint of AVENGERS #196.

Ultron (Marvel Legends)
Monday, December 05, 2005 10:54:52 AM
$29.99
Created by Hank Pym as an experiment in artificial intelligence, Ultron
evolved farther and faster than its inventor had dared even dream.
Retreating after a first, failed attempt to kill its creator, the robot
rebuilt and improved itself, initiating a continuing pattern of
modificatins and upgrades. Ultron later attacked the Avengers, because
of their connection to Pym, touching off a years-long succession of
battles. Seeking its goal of digital domination with cold, computer-like
determination, Ultron is a constant, unwavering threat to Pym, the
Avengers and every other living being on the planet. Features 29 points
of articulation, and includes a 32 page comic book, character-dedicated
vehicle and an exclusive Marvel vs. System trading card.

Top 10 Marvel Legends Action Figures (Series 11) - The Legendary Rider Series

MARVEL LEGENDS SERIES 11: TASKMASTER
(Jan 2006)
Toy Biz |
Toy Biz brings back the Marvel Legends action figure format for an
eleventh series, the Legendary Rider Series. Each action figure is
highly articulated and comes packaged with a reprinted comic book, or in
some cases, a poster book. The idea behind Marvel Legends is to create
definitive action figure interpretations of classic Marvel characters.
Each figure in series 11 is packaged with a vehicle which they can ride
in a legendary fashion. Series 11 also includes a Marvel Vs. game card.
1) Scarlet Witch Action Figure
The Scarlet Witch action figure is being re-worked and will be released
in a later series of Marvel Legends. However, before this decision was
made, a limited number of Scarlet Witch figures were released in Asia.
You may see them on eBay, but rest assured that when she is finally
released, she will have a wide release and should not be difficult to
find. The revised version will be much-improved, so it should not be a
loss to your collection to not have the initial scrapped version.
2) Variant Wonder Man Action Figure
The variant version of the Wonder Man action figure will be easy to
spot, as he is cast in a translucent blue/purple color, depicting his
"ionic" nature.
6) Taskmaster Action Figure
The Taskmaster action figure has 34 points of articulation and comes
with an air scooter. (I would describe it more as a glider, but the
packaging calls it an air scooter.) He also has an arsenal of weapons:
sword, pistol, quiver, billy club, and shield.
9) Wonder Man Action Figure
The Wonder Man action figure has 36 points of articulation and comes
with an air-glider vehicle. The package also includes a small figure of
Yellow Jacket, posed in mid-flight.
