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.

SHF IW War Machine 026

Time for another round of S.H. Figuarts Marvel galleries, and today we are looking at War Machine from Infinity War.  This is the Mk. 4 in the MCU, a big more diesel than previous versions sporting the traditional black with silver and red highlights.  He comes packed with 4 sets of hands, 6 energy blasts for the feet and hands, an articulated shoulder gun, energy blast for that, additional flaps for the back and a War Machine themed stand.  His range is great with shoulders and hips that extend out as needed for poses, allowing that bulky armor to work without limitation.  Paint is a black matte with a touch of sheen to it, very sharp in person.  Silver is a tad metallic as well.  Feels heavy to the hand and holds his poses well.  Bottom line, he’s a winner.

We’ve run James Rhodes through the motions and have over 35 HD shots of him after the break, courtesy of Bluefin Brands and Tamashii Nations.   He’s out now in Japan and the US, hit our sponsors and sites like eBay and Amazon to grab your copy!

SHF Endgame Thanos 44

He is inevitable.  S.H. Figuarts Marvel’s Avengers Endgame Thanos is up in today’s gallery.  Thanos is rocking his armored look, as seen in most of the Endgame movie, and briefly at the start of Infinity War.  He comes packed with 3 faces, 3 right hands, three gauntlet hands and his double ended blade.  He is helmeted, so you can remove the faces from within and reapply the front of the helmet, but the heads do not stand alone.  However, if you have a copy of the Infinity War Thanos from last year, that head pops on this peg perfectly, allowing you to display him with the helmet off to the side.  Sculpt and paint are tops head to toe here.  Articulation and range are a bit on the weaker side for S.H. Figuarts, but acceptable.  For some reason most of the Marvel SHF have limited arm cuts, and then the bulky armor here limits range further.  That being said, he is still a force on display in most situations.

I’ve been itching for this version since Infinity War, feels more proper for the Mad Titan, and I’m glad he’s finally in hand.  He’s out now in Japan and due to drop in the US via Bluefin very soon.  Read on to check out over 55 HD images courtesy of Bluefin Brands after the break!

No Banner, only HULK.  I am a big Hulk guy, so whenever MCU Hulkeses drop I try to pick them up.  I’ve been eyeing Mezco’s One:12 Hulk since they first revealed it back in July of 2017.  It was a way to get an upper tier version of the big guy on the shelf that at the time, hadn’t been done properly before.  Fast forward a year and a half, things have changed out in the 1/12 scale universe.  But, I kept my pre-orders in because it is still a sharp piece and I wanted to see how Mezco handled things.  He comes packed with a helmeted and un-helmeted head sculpt, axe, hammer, 3 sets of hands and a display base with the Ragnarok logo on it.  Soft goods are minimal, with sculpted forearm, hand and sandal parts mixed with faux leather and rubber fight gear on the chest arms and legs.  We’ve run him through the motions, read on to check out some additional thoughts and over 50 HD images after the break courtesy of Entertainment Earth!

After a little hiatus for the New Year it’s time to get back into action with these galleries! Today we are taking a look at a figure that dropped late last year and is utter perfection in my opinion – S.H. Figuarts Hulk from Avengers Infinity War.  Tamashii Nations first run at Hulk way back was very comic-booky.  Their Ragnarok Hulk was great but the gear was molded in.  Here, we get movie level head sculpts, proper color and a full range of articulation.  I dare say it’s the best Hulk figure that’s dropped yet.  Feels great in hand, construction and build quality are top notch.  Paint head to toe is well applied.  Bottom line, they SMASHED this out out the park.

Time for a quick look at the recently released S.H. Figuarts Bucky.  This is the US version, paired up with the Tamashii Impact effect piece in one box.  The Impact crater is an alternate color from single retail versions, giving us a desert clay tone. Bucky comes packed with two faces, 2 sets of hands, a gun and clip.  His knife is removable on the leg as well.  Paint is solid throughout, a nice muted set of colors and great weathering on the arm itself, giving it the metallic feel it deserves.  The faces are digitally painted.  They aren’t the best Bucky likeness on their own, but are solid human realistic faces.  Harsh light is not his friend tho, it brings out a lot of shape to the face and when paired with the digital paint is unflattering.  In normal room light, it’s generally fine.

Bottom line, he’s a solid 2nd row addition to a SHF MCU line up.  Read on to check it out for yourself after the break courtesy of Tamashii Nations and Bluefin Brands!

S.H. Figuarts may be tackling the entire Infinity War line up, but they are still pumping out Iron Man armors from the older movies too.  Today’s set is for the Mark 7 armor from the first Avengers film and Iron Man III. It comes complete with a ton of weapon parts that can be interchanged on the shoulders, forearms, wrists and thighs.  In addition to the clean hot rod paint and that gear, the set also features a Hall of Armor piece and the standard Iron Man blast effects seen in previous sets.  This is one of my personal favorite armors, I prefer the looks leading up to Avengers 1 out of them all, and this was the capper.  Read on to take a look courtesy of Bluefin Brands / Tamashii Nations, it should be dropping at US retailers soon!

Today we are taking a look at two more Tamashii Nations Marvel S.H. Figuarts figures – Ant-Man with Ant from Ant-Man 2 and Black Panther from Infinity War. Both are upgraded versions of these characters in the SHF line. Ant-Man comes with his GIANT Ant to ride on, while Black Panther comes with a Tamashii Rock effect piece in lava colors. SHF paint, sculpt and articulation is here head to toe, though as with some other Marvel releases Black Panther is missing the upper bicep swivel. The real star here is Ant-Man though, the figure is sharp and the Ant is huge and well done. Articulation in the head, arms, wings and thorax is preset. He comes with hands to grip the saddle handles as well. It’s a great centerpiece for a shelf based line up.

We’ve run both through the motions, read on to check out over 95 HD images of the figs, both standard and fancy pants style, courtesy of Bluefin / Tamashii Nations! Both are out in Japan now and hitting US retailers as we speak!
