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.

x Legends Endgame Wave 2 02

It’s been a minute since we’ve run Marvel Legends for galleries but we’re back with a look at Endgame Wave 2. This set features 3 MCU figures and 4 comic figures, with Endgame Hulk as the Build a Figure. Hulk is in his standard ripped pants / no shirt mode but comes with 2 heads. One a tad somber, and one smirking you to death. On the MCU side we have Shuri, Rescue and War Machine Mk 6. All three are solid entries to the Movieverse line up, with Shuri’s photo real tech on the face done well. On the comic side we get fan favorite Beta Ray Bill, excellent head to toe, along with a classic Loki and two deep roster offerings in Rock Python and Union Jack. It’s a really solid wave, all feel great in hand and are clean. The Hulk is refined and sharp but the choice of faces combined with the fact there are multiple other looks Hulk had in the movie makes me wish for something more. I’m sure more Hulkseses are on the way down the road though, there is no shortage of Marvel Legends coming our way.

Entertainment Earth has picked up the formerly TRU exclusive Infinity War 3 Pack featuring Thor, Rocket and Teen Groot!  Thor features his eye-patch and is rocking a long Asgardian sword.  Rocket comes packed with dual pistols and a BFG.  Groot is in his teen years – slouchy stance, pouty face and and all.  He also comes with a space iPad, complete with see through screen (sorry, no Space Invaders).  This has been out a bit, but we just got a copy and figured we’d run it and remind folks that it didn’t disappear with the demise of TRU.

Time for another round of Marvel Legends catch up!  Today we are looking and the second part of the Sp//dr wave – Scarlett Spider, House of M Spider-Man, Dr. Octopus, and Sp//dr himself.  While these, and the previous couples are solid, the main pull here is Dr. Octopus.   He’s diesel, well executed, and has solid adjustable arms.  His colors pop and represents a classic comic look perfectly.  Sp//dr when together has a great range of articulation for such a lanky bot.  The Spideys – good catch em all style figs but neither scream epicness.  All in all it was  sharp wave capped with Doc Ock.  Read on to check out over 50 images after the break courtesy of Dorkside Toys!Dorkside Toys

Another round of Marvel Legends catch up galleries starts today!  To kick things off, we are looking at the “couples” from the Spider-Man Sp//dr wave that dropped earlier this year.  Daredevil is rocking his Shadowland-esque suit in black with red highlights.  Elektra is pretty standard in what you’d expect, the sculpt is clean and the colors pop.  It’s a really solid representation for her.  Cloak and Dagger work best as a pair, with the body detaching from Cloak allowing for you to have Dagger popping out from inside.   All in all the four figs are great comic representations and will fill out a shelf nicely.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Hasbro is releasing key figures and characters from each movie in a series of special releases.  Some are reissues with better paint, some have new heads and accessories and some are all new figures.  Today we are looking at 3 of the early releases in our ML catch up week.  Iron Man Mk 7 from the first Avengers Movie, Ronan the Accuser from Guardians of the Galaxy and a Captain America / Crossbones 2 pack from Captain America Civil War.  Iron Man and the Cap/Bones pack are great, giving upgraded figs and awesome paint on all 3.  The Ronan figure is good until you get it in hand, his shoulder pads are attached to his hood.  So if you turn his head, it looks ridiculous.  Looking straight on, it’s a really well done figure though.  My fav here has to be Cap, the Chris Evans head sculpt and solid paint, metallic paint shield just nails it.

All 3 of these guys are out now and in stock over at Dorkside Toys.  Head on over to grab these and other ML 10 pieces, both in stock and pre-order!

I’m gonna eat that little dirtbag’s brain and squat it out on his mother’s grave!  The final figure from the Marvel Legends Venom wave is the Monster Venom Build A Figure.  While not specifically referenced, it pays homage to the Mac Gargan (formerly Scorpion) version of Venom.  This is yet another awesome piece by Hasbro along with the recent Apocalypse, utilizing the BAF bigness to the max.   The figure is so diesel his upper torso comes split in half front to back in package so it can fit.  Range is solid and articulation points are good for a BAF.  He keeps his balance as well.  Find the plant point and plop him down, he’s staying in place.  Sculpt is fantastic head to toe, and paint is awesome with a slight purple sheen to the overall black tone.  Spider markings are cleanly applied over the muscular body as well.  Bottom line, this one is a keeper!

This wave is flying off the shelves but some individual pieces are still available over at Dorkside Toys.  Hit the links below to check all their Marvel Legends in stock.
