Marvel Legends Paladin Deadpool Wave Photo Shoot

under Marvel Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Virtually nothing is known about the background of the mercenary who calls himself Paladin. It is not known why he decided to become an adventurer (beyond his obvious swashbuckling bravado) or where he got the special weaponry he uses. In his first recorded exploit, he crossed paths with Daredevil while both were on the trail of the villainous Purple Man.

Marvel Legends Paladin

Pros
Has weapons.
Deep roster character

Cons
Fringe character

Overall
Paladin turned out to be a solid figure and have his sidearms included. For collectors this may be an exciting figure that will add to your team rosters, but for me this is a filler figure I have little attachment to in the Marvel Universe. Paladin has a strong comic book design and collectors looking for those deep roster characters will be happy to pick him up.

If your wondering what that awesome dio stage is in the background you can get the full info here on the Nova Ubiquitous UB-01LS Modular Diorama with Lights. Not a bad word can be said about this awesome system.

    Deadpool is easily one of my favorite legends this year. Great 90’s likeness ( with the exception he has feet haha ). If hed only come with a lil more gear, like maybe a tad longer swords and Pistol or two,

    This figure is an almost perfect Deadpool. I love it, possibly more than the ultimate one with all the gear that Hasbro released previously. The design is just so spot-on.

    As for the lack of accessories, Marauder Gun Runners now offers a line of 6" scale weapons, and they work perfectly with this Deadpool (or any Legends figure with pistol-grip hands).

    I saw a couple of these classic DPs at my Gamestop but passed on picking one up in favor of the X-force DP considering I already have the Juggernaut wave figure. I prefer the classic outfit but given the poor accessories it's just too little too late for me to pay full price. For anyone who doesn't want to go hunting for him this classic Deadpool seems readily available on amazon right now.

    While Deadpool has been using katanas for a long time he started out with these much shorter blades akin to ninjato.

    Edit: it's also very likely Hasbro is paying homage to Toybiz's first Deadpool toy from the X-force line which had a short blade like this new figure.

    Seriously, that thing doesn't look like a custom. What's the story?

    Thanks for clearing that mystery up, guys. Too bad I'll probably never be able to get my hands on one.

    Huh... I previously thought they were, especially with the Nerf stock attachment part on the smaller one, but I can't seem to find any Nerf guns that match the designs of those guns. I think Cable might be the first to actually use proper downsized Nerf gun designs.

    Id say domino has a couple cons in her favor. One is the goofy nerf guns with her. Two is that instead of an adult body the put her on The young teen-esque mockingbird body. Three her face looks a lil too happy. Four she coulda had a holster from either misty knight or jyn erso and a normal pistol and the gun from netflix punisher.

    I mean shes not a terrible fig just could used some sprucing up.

    haha, that one was indeed an interesting use of language. The unfavorable things about the figure that makes the figure favorable.....

    One of them is definitely a Nerf gun:



    The other looks like it could be another, but I haven’t been able to match it up with any existing Nerf product that I know of yet.

    The use of the Mockingbird body is indeed terrible, but not because of the bizarre idea that it exemplifies a “young teen-esque” physique.

    Domino can be a pretty puckish character.

  24. Dolemite's Avatar Dolemite says

    What's wrong with the Mockingbird body? You guys upset that Domino doesn't have DD's?

  25. Boy Blunder's Avatar Boy Blunder says

    I know some people would prefer to have a more 90s-style Domino with straps and holsters and the blue-and-purple costume, but I do like the use of the Mockingbird mold for a modern-style Domino.
