Marvel Legends Ares Thor Ragnarok Photo Shoot

under Marvel Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Ares – the God of War! His relentless brutality and his bloodthirsty drive to attain victory at any cost earned him only scorn from his fellow gods in the Greek pantheon, and exile from Olympus. After thousands of years living as a man and fighting in man’s bloody, petty conflicts, Ares joins the ranks of Earth’s mightiest heroes – Marvel Legends.

Marvel Legends Ares

Pros
Good in demand character.
Strong design
Great weapons

Cons
Sword is a little bent.

Overall
Ares was on the list for a much overdue release. The after market value on the first one should let everybody know how popular this figure is. He has a nice selection of weapons that he hold firm and can maintain many of the poses you want for this figure. I see this figure being very hard to find and is a snap grab for most collectors.

    These are all on amazon prime and I just ordered Thor and Loki, Hela is unfortunately overpriced so I may hunt for her tomorrow at toys r us.

    Not a bad figure, and I like that you can remove the shin armor. Doesn't really look like Hemsworth though, something is a little off IMO. It's a good representation of this particular design, if you like this look.

    Every store in my area has this Thor and the Loki from this wave in various quantities but nobody else from the wave. I guess everybody in my area wants to complete that gladiator Hulk BAF and then Thor and Loki aren't in demand. The Thor looks okay and decent enough but to me a Thor figure without Mjolnir is not a Thor I want much at all. I am a bit baffled that all of my stores are already getting the Ragnarok wave in by this point but then absolutely none of the main retail stores got in any of the Homecoming wave at any point prior to the film or even up to release. My Walmart, Target, and TRU never got in a single case of the Homecoming wave at any given time but now they all have the Mantis GotG vol2 wave, the Marvel Knights/Netflix wave, and the Ragnarok wave.

    I think this is my favorite look for Thor so far. I really like the short hair.

    Of this wave, Thor, Loki, and Hela were the only ines I've seen (and bought).. I definitely want to complete gladiator hulk. It just sucks that I have to spend $60 on figures I have no interest in to do so.

    Your targets didn't have a cardboard display with the homecoming legends?

    And DESTRO continues to have the absolute laziest toy reviews on the internet. At least you didn't settle for "Cons: None" this time

    There were displays for the movie but the only Legends figures were like White Tiger and Misty Knight, I even asked employees and was told the stores had received no new merch except for the more kid-oriented stuff.

    The Walmart here is just now getting GotG figures. I hate the stores around here.

    That's kind of how it worked around here. I've been hitting Walmart hard looking for the Guardians wave, and noticed some of the Homecoming wave in a few. The funny thing is I think they are already listed as deleted and never really hit the shelves the way they should have. Just about every one I hit was doing a huge toy reset and getting in the Knights and Ragnarok waves. You might be able to snag a good deal on the Homecoming wave if you keep your eyes peeled here in the next month. I'm sure they got plenty of the stock at their D.C., but never distributed it right. I think Hasbro might be choking up the pipelines with all these waves so quick in secession.

    Check your Walgreens too. It might help to hit smaller towns.

    Hela is definitely on my ever-growing list of favorite Marvel Legends figure of the year. She has such a great design and sculpt. Definitely a highlight in the line.

  17. Dolemite's Avatar Dolemite says

    I love Hela. Just an awesome and unique-looking figure, and finding her at retail saved me a bundle on the SDCC comic book version that I can now happily skip. The headdress design is just flat-out astonishing. Also of note is how much taller her figure is than the average Marvel Legends figure. I guess she's tall in the movie!

    As for the alternate head, I have to disagree with Destro on that one. I think it's dead-on for Cate Blanchett, the actress playing her in the movie. It's not off one iota, although yours does look a bit odd. Perhaps the paint apps are wonky? Here's mine:

    I'm with here dole. Its epically Cate. And damn does she look hot as hela....that long black hair and smokey eyes...........

    I gotta go with the alternate head is great crowd. I think I like it a little bit better than the main headdress head.

    She easily took the spot of best Marvel Legends toy of the year so far for me, and I don't think there's anything left in the tank from Hasbro this year that's going to top it.

    when i get Ares, will repaint him, big time. first take off that chest skull and paint the top a dark gray like the boots and other things as well
