Marvel Legends Electro Photo Shoot

Posted on August 25, 2016 at 9:28 pm by DESTRO under Marvel Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Maxwell Dillon has been one of Spider-Man’s most frequent and enduring adversaries, often fighting alongside some of the more powerful masterminds in the web-head’s rogues gallery, rather than creating intricate plots of his own. Raised by his overprotective mother, after his father abandoned them, Max had ambitions of being an electrical engineer. However, after being convinced by his mother that he was not smart enough to pursue such a career, Max instead reluctantly took a job as a lineman for an electric company. While repairing a power line still connected to its spool, Max was struck by lightning. Instead of being killed, the freak accident caused a mutagenic change in his nervous system, allowing him to generate and control vast amounts of electricity. After creating a colorful costume, Max turned to a life of crime as Electro.

Marvel Legends Electro

Pros
Nicely sculpted heads
Above average articulation

Cons
Not a fan of the electricity hands

Overall
Electro is a cool choice for a villain and has both classic and modern heads included with the figure. I’m not a huge fan of the “electricity hands” but I can see how a kid would enjoy it more than a collector would. Solid paint deco and crazy articulation. Good for hardcore Spider-Man collectors but could be a pass for a casual fan.

    Which Spidey figure is better, this one or the one that came with the pizza slice? This one looks cool but I'm not seeing the extra shoulder articulation the previous one had.

    It's hard to say.

    Both have the same articulation despite the lack of butterfly joints, however, the legs are way superior on the Ultimate version. The blue is a little darker than I'd like though, but he is by far the best teenage Peter we have yet to ever get as far as I am concerned.

    Frankly, I think they are both perfect because of that. One can be teenage Parker, the other is adult Parker. Plus, the Ultimate figure goes great in scale with Spider-Gwen, so you can re-enact all of your favorite neck breaking moments.

    Finally the gallery! This is a superb Spider-Man figure, I love it! It's not a big deal the shoulder articulation, i saw many video review and the range of arms are the same of pizza Spidey

    Butterfly joints! So that's what they're called.

    I have pizza Spidey, but will switch to this probably. I like the ultra-skinny, lanky look of this, compared to the toned-gymnast look of pizza spidey... I have legends carnage, pizza spidey, and Marvel Select Venom recreating the poster from the 90's which has both symbiotes leaping at a webslinging spidey. I think the smaller, thinner Spidey will make the pose look more dramatic and "dangerous"

    The only downside to the Miles figure is I don't know his poses or his personality.

    Nice.. Hasbro continues to knock out another set of superb Legends built around the Ol' Web-Head. Yeah I have that same compulsion to collect super-articulated Spideys! The recent SpiderVerse cross-over has really provided a lot (a lot a lot!!) of new source material (fan-favourites Silk and Spider-Gwen) and re-invigorated some old source material (Spider-Ham anyone?!) to use when constructing more Spidey waves moving forward. The new 2099 version looks slick, and hopefully we'll get a Noir (complete with a new trench coat mold and revolver!) and a few of the other standouts from the SpiderVerse story soon..

    I know it might be burn-out for some (one too many versions of Spider-Man) but personally, I can't get enough. And as long as they keep peppering each new set of Spidermen with a few classic villains, I'm more than happy to hand over my money. And really, along with perhaps Batman, Spidey had to have one of the best, most extensive, diverse and iconic rouges galleries in modern comics to draw from. Hasbro has really only just begun to scratch the surface.. Exciting times to be a Marvel Legends fan..

    I've got no problem with Hasbro wanting to do a Spidey in each wave, but they need to start amping up the villan releases. Two a wave is too little for someone with the huge villain count like Spider-Man.

    So this is actually a new body then? Sorry, I don't follow many lines outside Transformers very closely any more. I like the Miles costume and am looking forward to picking it up. If these are different bodies I might pick up this Peter too. Love the Pizza Spidey but didn't see much difference between that and the new one. I think I may need to track down a Superior Spidey too. Pretty sure they're still sitting on pegs around me somewhere.

    Yep - Miles and this new Peter are both using the brand-new 'Teen Male' body, making it a bit shorter than the existing Pizza Spidey.

    As for Electro, I actually dig the electricity hands, but it's a bummer that they didn't include a regular set of hands as well. Probably wouldn't be hard to find a spare pair of black hands lying around somewhere, however.

    The hands from Speed Demon work and they are almost the same color.

    Dolomite, the hands from the Allfather Iron Fist are also a perfect fit if you don't mind Electro having un-gloved hands. Electro's hands utilize the swappable hand peg, and are easy to remove and can be easily swapped with them.

    Is it just me or did that radiated spider really get around before actually "dying"? Seriously, like Tenth Doctor levels of walkabout biting everyone and everything before kicking the bucket. I'm waiting for the spin off where the Spider-Spider had it's own life in NYC, randomly biting things before finally giving up the will to live.

    Agreed.

    Though we can always look forward to the epic team up of the Spider-Pigeon, the Spider-Rat and the Spider-Bum.
