Marvel Legends Captain America Civil War Giant Man BAF Photo Shoot

under Marvel Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Dr. Henry “Hank” Pym developed a series of capsules containing the Pym Particles which he used to grow or shrink to various heights; he also developed capsules that enabled him to grow to greater than normal heights. Thereafter, Pym preferred to use his power to grow to giant size for crime fighting, and called himself Giant-Man. At first he found that he could not support his own weight if he grew to a height above twelve feet. Later, he was able to reach far greater heights, even 100 feet, and still move about comfortably, but he became weaker in proportion to the amount he grew beyond twelve feet.

Marvel Legends Captain America Civil War Giant Man BAF

Pros
Awesome head sculpt

Cons
Average articulation

Overall
Giant Man has a really nice head sculpt and design. The figure is not super articulated but has just enough to get the job done. For me it’s one of the better BAF figures we have seen this year and looks great in the background of your shelf as a taller figure. I have seen a lot of love – hate surround this BAF, but for me it’s on the buy list.

    Iron Man looks decent enough. Love some of the flight shots you have there.

    I'm limiting my legends collecting to just the iron man/war machine movie worn armors.. So, I'll be picking this up.

    No group shot with mark III, mark V, mark VI, mark XLII, and mark XLIII? Bummer.

    I still wish they had given us a mark 45.

    Hoping I can find Black Panther. He is one of the new characters that I am most excited about in Civil War. Just need him and Fury to complete my Giant AntMan.

    The unmasked head really is the selling point for me, cause IMO the Figuarts body, logically, looks better.
    But I'm pretty sure it will be easier to find the Figuarts in my country.

    Black Panther looks really good for a ML figure. Love that it includes the unmasked head sculpt. Great shoot my man.

    Man, I am so torn on this IM. The figure looks way better than the AoU one and I like the accessories, but from what it sounds likes, the articulation is inferior and the toy overall is not as good as the AoU one.

    This is the only must buy from the wave. Sucks that yours has a giant black dot on his forehead.

    Oh, Nick Fury might we worth getting, but I haven't decided yet.

    Con - Scalpers are going to swoop these up at all retailers while most of us are at work

    Great photo shoot! This is easily my favorite figure in the line. I agree about the unmasked head sculpt as well, huge selling point for the figure. Amazing that the higher end figure companies probably won't include this. I've always been a fan of the character so it's gonna be awesome seeing him on the big screen. Can't wait for CIVIL WAR! Now if only we could get a Crossbones ML figure.

    I already knew we were gonna pick up Panther when he hits locally, but god he looks great. Can't wait for the review of Dirk Anger-- I mean, Nick Fury.

    im sure this has been asked a million times but would some kind soul let me know what stands are used in these Photo-shoots? I have the SH figurarts ones but they struggle to hold the figures weight.

    thanks guys!

    These shots looks great, Nuke looks really good. Will probably get this whole set.

    What's with all the bright colored Star Trek looking guns that Hasbro is making for the Legends figures? They don't do this with the Star Wars series. Is it to make the guns very unrealistic?

    We already have a Marvel Legends Crossbones. Very rare, but he exists none the less.

    Nuke looks like Duke just painted a flag on his face. Meh. I don't really have any interest in this guy.

    What's with the robot head for Nuke? I don't remember any story with that.

    Perhaps he means the movie Crossbones. I'm really hoping the movie does Crossbones justice, I thought he was handled well in the Winter Soldier but that was just Brock Rumlow not yet Crossbones.

    Ugh, he's got the stupid gun molded into his holster. It just looks bad.
