z Marvel Legends D Splash

Quick set today for a wave of Marvel Legends!  The Disney+ Wave featured a solid line up of MCU characters all from the first wave of shows – Wandavision, Falcon and Winter Soldier and Loki.  The Build a Figure wasn’t actually a figure, but the wings needed to get Sam Wilson Captain America in full flight mode with his upgraded Falcon gear.    I’ve moved to grabbing key pieces for Marvel and then shooting them for the site even less, just keeping them on shelf for self.  But this wave was solid front to back and I wanted dem wings, so a full wave and shoot it is!

We’ve done up over 55 HD shots after the break, read on to check them out along with some quick thoughts.  These come courtesy of Dorkside Toys, check them out for all your Marvel Legends needs!

zz Marvel Legends 2020 Splash

Quick drop for some recent Marvel Legends releases today with a look at some more X-Men 20th Anniversary figures and a set for Retro Spider-Man.  I grabbed one of my most wanted Marvel Legends a while back in the form of Movie Deadpool (see our gallery here).   I was thinking about grabbing Wolverine and Mystique since they both looked really well done, but hadn’t pulled the trigger yet.  Well, Hasbro PR to the rescue, because they recently sent out a promotional box to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the X-Men movies and the figures they are doing for it.  Included were figs for Wolverine (jacket), Mystique, Cable and Domino (which we shot earlier this year, see above).  They all came packed in a nifty themed box too featuring that awesome artwork on the packages.

In addition to those, I’ve also had Retro Spidey here for a while, just never got around to posting up the gallery for him.  This is the new tech body with a more streamlined look and great range of articulation.  It’s now “thee” comic Spider-Man I think, replacing Pizza Spidey, until they figure how to do this again but pinless. :).

So read on to check out some quick shots showing all these guys off, courtesy of Hasbro and my wallet.   All these are out in the wild now, so hit our sponsors or your favorite spots to pick them up!

z marvel legends retro 375

Hasbro revealed all new figures for Marvel back during Pulsecon – Retro inspired 3.75 figures as if Kenner had done them in the 80s.  These are simple, 5 points of articulation style figs with very retro looks, both on the card and the figure.  They are indeed 3.75 inch, not the 4 inches + that the scale has grown to in recent years.  Hasbro has sent through samples for us to check out and we’ve run them for some quick shots showing them off.  Check inside for all the standard fare plus some comparison with 6 inch  Legends and modern era 1/18th scale figs.

All in all I thought they were great for what they were when they were revealed, and now that they are in hand nothing’s changed.  For me, they’re awesome filler figs for the Marvel shelves and things I can have around on the desk to fiddle with.  At this point in my collecting adventures, if I am going to do 3.75 / 4 inch, I’d prefer it be simple like this.  Save the realism and articulation for 1/12.

These are all the Hasbro Pulse exclusive versions.  They are launching with 2 pack boxes, that contain 2 individually carded figures inside.  Eventually, these will be available at mass retail single carded.  With one exception – the Black Panther / Iron Man pack features foil cardbacks and is exclusive to Hasbro Pulse in this 2 pack format.

These are due to ship in December 2020 and are not sold out yet, so check them out and if you dig em pick yourself up a set here!

Marvel Legends Movie Deadpool 36

Time for a quick drop for a set of recently released figures from Marvel Legends – Fox X-Men Universe Movie Deadpool, Domino and Negasonic Teenage Warhead. Deadpool comes in a 2 pack with Negasonic, and Domino is a solo release. Movie Cable fills out this line up and is out but is not featured here. I’m picky with my Marvel collection, but Movie Deadpool was high on my list of wanted figures from any line. Negasonic for me is a tubber, not speaking on the figure’s quality at all, just don’t care for the character. Domino I thought was well done in the movie, and well done as a figure here, even tho it’s not a pure comic representation – so she gets to hang with Wade on the shelf.

All in all Deadpool delivers. I had some issues with a factory defect but was able to get it functional with some surgery. The sculpt is really sharp head to toe, it captures the lines of the movie suit. Eyes pop just like the movie, articulation range is solid. His real world guns in holsters are glued in, but technically can come out if you wanted to put some work in. He comes with additional pistols, swords and yes, a Unicorn. Great figure and glad he’s here. Domino, really dig the face sculpt and the translucent hair was a nice touch.

Read on to check out over 65 HD images for the three of them!

Marvel Legends Demogoblin Wave 999

As we all hunker down and wait out the crazy going on in the world I figured I’d run a semi-recent wave of Marvel Legends for a shoot. The Spider-Man Demogoblin Wave. I got a couple promo copies, then ran into a couple more in trade, and finally decided to finish it off through purchases. The wave consists of Velocity Suit Spider-Man and Spider-Armor MK III from the PS4 game, comic Vulture, Superior Octopus, Shang-Chi, and White Rabbit. The Build A Figure is Demogoblin.

Different folks will dig different figs here. I loved the PS4 game, but all the ML versions released so far haven’t hit for me, including these two. Vulture is a great classic rendition and will pair with recent Doc Ock, Scorpion and the like for your rogues gallery. Superior Octopus is a modern storyline that I’m not 100% up on but looks faithful to the source. Shang-Chi is the comic rendition primer getting us all ready for the movie in MCU phase 4. Lot of goodies here – tons of extra hands and some nunchucks, plus a ton of articulation lets you hit all those Kung-Fu poses. White Rabbit caps it off with a super deep roster offering. Demogoblin is well done, lots of great sculpt going on. He comes with a flame glider and stand to keep it hovering, a nice touch.

All in all it’s a fun wave. It’s out in the wild now. Read on to check out 80+ pics courtesy of Dorkside Toys!

Marvel Legends Bro Thor Thorbowski

The Endgame has come and gone, but we are still getting figures from the epic conclusion to the Infinity Saga. One of the recent waves of Marvel Legends to drop was Endgame wave 3 which featured a solid movie line up – Iron Man Mk 85 with Hulk sized Infinity Glove, Captain America in his Movie 1 costume, Endgame War Machine in Iron Patriot deco, a translucent Vision, Heimdall in his later series get up, and Valkyrie in full battle gear. The Build A Figure – Thor in his crisis mode aka Bro Thor aka the Big Thorbowski!

For movie fans it’s a great wave, no filler. The Build A Figure is one I wanted on first sight back at SDCC 2019. Did it need to be a BAF? No. But, I did grab the whole wave to get him so I guess those guys are smart over there. This wave is out in the wild now, check the full gallery showing all the figures after the break courtesy of Dorkside Toys!

Marvel Legends Wendigo Wave

Another day, another wave of Marvel Legends has dropped!  Well, not quite that often but these guys are pushing figures out like nobody’s business.  Today’s look is at the Marvel Legends Wendigo Build a Figure wave which features – X-Force Wolverine, Cannonball, Boom-Boom, Guardian, Nightcrawler and Mister Sinister.  All of the figures are sharp, Nightcrawler stands out for me personally with a very classic vibe.  Mr. Sinister is diesel, pushing BAF scale in a single box.  Solid roster fillers fill out the wave with another version of Wolverine in his X-Force gear to anchor it all.  Wendigo is well executed, the slight variations in blue and gray capture the cold tones he’s been seen in.

For those going deep roster on X-Men, it’s another worthy wave.  We’ve run them all for some shots, read on to check out over 80 pics courtesy of Hasbro!  They are shipping out now, check out Amazon and our sponsors below to grab your copies!

Marvel Legends 80 Retro

Marvel Legends is pumping out more figures than most can handle over the last couple years, so you need to pick your battles and themes and roll with it. This is a good thing. With the MCU in full swing, they haven’t held back the classic comic line ups either. Case in point are several recent releases – the Marvel 80 Years assortments and the Retro X-Men waves. Most of the Marvel 80 Years figures are vintage renditions of the characters. Today’s look include single packed Captain America, Thor and Iron Man along with the Hulk vs. Wolverine 2 pack. There is also a sweet Colossus vs. Juggernaut set floating around which we didn’t pick up yet. If you combine the 3 singles and the Hulk set, you have a really well done classic Avengers core. As these gems are floating around on shelves, the retro X-Men wave has also hit, featuring ToyBiz inspired decos of the X-Men, complete with retro packaging. While all are well done, people are hyped on Storm and Silver Samurai. Storm does not disappoint.

We’ve run them all through a photo session, read on to check out over 50 HD shots courtesy of Hasbro! These guys are out now at select retailers. Hit our sponsors below along with brick and mortar spots and Amazon.

Wolverine Legends Caliban Wave

Time for a quick Marvel Legends gallery!  Nothing hot off the presses but wanted to take the Caliban Wave Weapon X Wolverine for a spin.  I don’t go deep on Marvel Legends personally, but every so often I like to pick certain ones up to fill in my casual rando shelf.  Wolverine in his Weapon X gear is one of those.  It’s a well done piece, upgraded for modern times with new articulation and sculpt.  He’s got the range of the Jim Lee Wolverine.  Paint is minimal since he’s basically rocking it birthday suit style, but they did wind up getting some body hair on there without it looking too weird or overpowering.  There are two heads, the helmeted version being better IMO.  The yelling head has a very classic comic vibe to it but can look a bit off depending on what angle you hit it at.  The gear head is solid though.  Claws are standard Hasbro style, and there are no alt hands without the holes.  The gear is well done, tubes run around from the waist packs into the helmet and arms, each pack has a little paint for the lights.

All in all, really solid representation of Wolverine like this, and worthy of a pick up if you haven’t grabbed him yet.  Read on to check out over 30 HD shots courtesy of Dorkside Toys!

Marvel Legends Far From Home 2

Two Marvel Legends sets in a row, woohoo!  Today we are taking a look at another recent Marvel Legends wave – Spider-Man Far From Home Wave 1.  This round includes FFH Spider-Man, FFH Spider-Man in his black Stealth Suit, FFH Mysterio, and 4 comic entries – Spider-Woman, Hydro Man, Scorpion, Doppleganger Spider-Man.  The Build A Figure is FFH Molten Man.  On the movie side – Mysterio is great, he was always a favorite of mine growing up but his comic outfit didn’t really age well.  The MCU upgrades do him justice and shine through on this figure.  The black Spidey is also really sharp but since I haven’t seen the movie yet I’m not attached to the look.  Comic wise Scorpion is awesome, a nice sheen to the body and the bendable tail is a great touch. Hydro-Man really pops, great expression in the face and the see through parts work.  The BAF – VERY big but I’m not super excited about him.  To me, the star of this wave is Mysterio.
