Marvel Legends Odin BAF Allfather Wave Photo Shoot

under Marvel Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Odin was the son of Bor and the Frost Giantess Bestia, Odin pined for the day he would ascend to his father’s place as leader of the gods. When time-traveling god of evil Loki arrived from the future and transformed Bor into snow, Odin claimed his father was dead and assume rule over his lands alongside his brothers Vili and Ve. The three brothers returned to their father’s kingdom of Asgard, which had become home of the gods. Upon the apparent death’s of his brothers at the hands of the fire-demon Surtur, Odin absorbed their life essences, increasing his own power (the “Odinpower”). Assuming sole rule of Asgard!

Marvel Legends Odin BAF Allfather Wave

Pros
Awesome character selection
Great “King Thor” second BAF option
Can build an alternate BAF version of Ares

Cons
Can only stand well in limited poses

Overall
This for me is one of the best Build-A-Figures in a very long time. Odin is not only an awesome Marvel character but also has deep Norse mythology roots that make for a good read. The figure itself is a great representation of Odin and the added parts to make King Thor puts this figure well above average and over the top awesome! This is a MUST own figure.

    Thanks Joe! I figured I would throw Vision in there since they are married in the comics. Old School!

    SPOILER ALERT FOR THE COMICS Wanda actually isn't Magneto's daughter anymore and so technically Quicksilver isn't his son either, I strongly believe they did this to make the MCU more similar without the Magneto element now END SPOILER ALERT

    Even though I mainly collect Marvel Universe because it allows for more variety in less space and what not, I may get this one. I do prefer though that the MU 4" figure kept the shoulder area pink, I can't recall any design where she wore this costume and was bare on the shoulders area.

    If you ask me they did that to block Fox from using them in an X-men film loop hole because Magneto is their father. I also think they did it because they can't use Magneto in Avengers films so they cut that tie. Real shame whats going on in the comics because of movie rights.

    The movies should be influenced by the comics, not the other way around. It doesn't really change her character though.

    I 100% agree and you can start to see the crack in the wall over at Marvel when they do stuff like this. Bottom line Marvel wants X-Men and FF back and shots have been fired on all fronts. The latest is no new X-Men characters or new designs. They are going to put the screws to Fox. The movie money involved is huge and I only see it getting worse.

    The latest? That's been their policy for around the last 5 years now.

    It comes and goes in the news cycle, but with the Mutant/Inhuman shakeup, it's getting traction again.

    Before this wave, I hadn't bought a ML in some time (I did get a Winter Soldier Stealth Cap and Widow), so getting the whole wave was something of a breath of fresh air.

    Sentry was the one who surprised me the most in hand; I hadn't realized just how beefy that buck was and this version really puts the old Wal-Mart version to shame. That was the unexpected highlight of the wave for me.

    So, great pics of him.

  20. En Sabah Nerd's Avatar En Sabah Nerd says

    A good looking toy, but I've always hated Sentry. Especially the way they retconned him as being a super hero before any of Marvel's main characters and then he was apparently totally great and saved the world a lot but then he wanted to stop being a hero because he was growing a second personality and he made everyone forget about him and his superhero activities. Sentry just always pissed me off.

    I have to ask, how securely does your Hawkeye hold the bow like that? I don't know if I've got one with a badly bent thumb or what, but it really doesn't like to hold the bow like that; it barely fits and it's always at an angle.

    I had no problem with mine.

    Guess I got a lemon then, mine will drop the bow if it's left like that for too long and the hips are a little loose, so he can almost hula dance if you shake the shelf he's standing on.

    Actually the hips on mine are the same way.
