REVIEW: X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse Build-A-Figure 

Posted on by July 9, 2018
X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse BAF Review

It’s taken almost a full year since the wave started to be unveiled at San Diego Comic Con 2017, but the long-anticipated 2018 Marvel Legends X-Men Apocalypse Series is finally starting to ship out to online retailers and some brick and mortar stores. I wanted to kick off my figure reviews for this wave with something big—and what’s bigger than the Build-A-Figure, right? The Marvel Legends Apocalypse BAF is selling for north of 100 bucks right now all by himself—is he fit to survive for that kind of money?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Cull Obsidian Build-A-Figure

Close-Up of BAF Cull Obsidian Black Order Marvel Legends Action Figure

While Avengers Infinity War will go down as one of the most legendary superhero team-up movies in history, it didn’t just feature many beloved existing characters interacting—it also introduced some significant new villains to non-comic book readers in the form of Thanos’ Black Order. Proxima Midnight was the sole representative in the first wave of Infinity War Marvel Legends, but she’s got some large help now. The Marvel Legends Cull Obsidian Build-A-Figure is on the scene and selling for $60+ on the aftermarket: is it worth building this big boy?

Marvel Legends Black Knight Figure Review (Cull Obsidian Series)

Posted on by June 23, 2018
Black Knight Marvel Legends Avengers Infinity War Figure Review

Marvel Legends Infinity War Wave 2 is a pretty weird series, as the set is split three ways between characters from the comics and the Ant-Man and the Wasp and Avengers Infinity War movies. But not only is the Cull Obsidian Series an unusually eclectic mix—it’s also been unusually hard to find in stores. And among the harder figures to come by is the one new comic book-based figures in the wave: Marvel Legends Black Knight…

REVIEW: Deadpool Marvel Legends Cable Figure Hasbro 2018

Deadpool Marvel Legends Cable Figure Review

After close to a year since the first figures were shown at SDCC 2017, the 2018 X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series finally went up for order yesterday! Such a momentous occassion has understandably put me into an X-Men kinda mood. And so, for today’s review, let’s take a look at the X-character who’s managed to one-up Deadpool in his own series by being by far the most in-demand figure of the wave: Deadpool Marvel Legends Cable!

Marvel Legends Lizard Build-A-Figure Review & Photos (Spider-Man)

Posted on by June 2, 2018
Close-Up of Marvel Legends Lizard Figure Head with Mouth Open

Earlier this week, I reviewed a Marvel Legends Build-A-Figure that I thought was solid overall but just a little bit boring: the Deadpool Legends Sasquatch BAF. Today I’m going to the opposite extreme with a review of a Build-A-Figure that’s anything but boring! The Marvel Legends Lizard BAF is the most expensive on the aftermarket of this year’s Build-A-Figures thus far and is quite difficult to find all the pieces for at retail. Is this classic Spidey villain worth the hype (and secondary market prices)?

REVIEW: Deadpool Marvel Legends Sasquatch Build-A-Figure

Deadpool Legends Sasquatch BAF Holding Up Deadpool Figure

Continuing to slog through my massive backlog of Marvel Legends figures that I have queued for review, today I’m looking at one of this year’s most surprising Build-A-Figures. Sasquatch is one of the cheaper complete Marvel Legends BAFs on the aftermarket in quite a while, and has only a tenuous connection to the character whose series he’s the Build-A-Figure of (Deadpool). Is this Hasbro figure worth upgrading to if you already own the Toybiz version?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Iron Spider Figure (Infinity War)

Posted on by May 28, 2018
Marvel Legends Infinity War Iron Spider 6" Figure Review

Every so often, Hasbro will end up releasing a 6” Marvel Legends figure that blows my mind in both positive and negative regard. Such is the case with one of the most difficult Marvel Legends figures to find at retail so far this year: Iron Spider! Though Marvel Legends Iron Spider is selling for double on the aftermarket and is tough to snag at retail, this release baffles by what’s present being perfect, and what’s not present driving collectors nuts…

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Lasher & Prowler Figures (Lizard Series)

REVIEW Spider-Man Legends Lizard Series Prowler Lasher Figures

I’m still well behind in my 2018 Marvel Legends reviews, so I’m going to diverge from my usual format and knock out two figure reviews for the price of one today! While the Spider-Man Marvel Legends Lizard Series has been out in stores (allegedly) for a couple months now, it’s been exceedingly hard to find in a lot of areas. If you haven’t obtained the Marvel Legends Lasher and Prowler Figures yet, are they worth the hunt? Here’s my review…

Deadpool Marvel Legends X-Force X-23 Review & Photos

Marvel Legends X-Force X-23 Review

I’ve fallen off the wagon a bit lately with regards to Marvel Legends reviews, but with Deadpool 2 hitting theaters this week, now seems like the perfect time to start catching up! And so, today I’ll be posting my first Deadpool Marvel Legends Sasquatch Series review, featuring the first Hasbro 6” scale version of a character who’s grown to be a headliner in her own right in the decade-plus since Toybiz did her: the Deadpool Marvel Legends X-Force X-23 (who’s available online now for MSRP)!

REVIEW: Iron Studios Spider-Man Homecoming Iron Man Statue

Iron Studios Spider-Man Homecoming Iron Man Statue Review

When it comes to the resin statue collecting world, the popular opinion of the masses is generally that bigger is better. But one company who’s defying that mentality is Iron Studios, who introduced their popular 1:10 scale Battle Diorama Series last year. I’ve been a fan since the first time I saw the MCU BDS statues in person, but I’ve never written a review for one… until now. The Iron Studios Spider-Man Homecoming Iron Man Statue is now starting to ship—is this low-priced piece worth your cash?

REVIEW: Funko Infinity War Marvel Collector Corps Box

Funko Infinity War Collector Corps Box Review Spoilers Unboxing

As the Funko Marvel Collector Corps began 3 years ago with Avengers Age of Ultron, it seems appropriate that the MCC comes to its conclusion in its current form with this month’s Avengers Infinity War Box. The service will apparently be continuing via Amazon, but for now, this is the grand finale. Does the Infinity War Collector Corps Box end things on a high note, or with untapped potential? Read on for my review…

REVIEW: Marvel Premier Collection Moon Knight Statue (DST)

Marvel Premier Collection Moon Knight Statue Review

Something magical was lost from the collecting world when Bowen Designs closed down: an expansive line of reasonably-priced, medium-sized resin Marvel statues covering a huge range of characters. But Diamond Select Toys has been bringing the magic back with their Marvel Premier Collection statues line, which gets better with each release. And while I’ve been too lazy to review any up until now, the Marvel Premier Collection Moon Knight I ordered online finally arrived and gave me ample motivation to do so…

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Gwenpool 6″ Figure Lizard Series

Marvel Legends Gwenpool Review with Lizard BAF

Whenever I mention Gwenpool, I tend to preface it with “I don’t really like this character”. And so, I don’t think anyone will be gobsmacked to hear that my anticipation for her first 6″ figure wasn’t quite off-the-charts. But to my utter astonishment, it turns out that not only do I not hate this Marvel Legends Gwenpool figure–I really kind of love it. The Spider-Man Legends Gwenpool Lizard Series figure is available online now for MSRP–and even if you’re just buying it for the Lizard BAF tail, you may be surprised how much you like it too…

REVIEW: Marvel Legends King Cobra Figure (Thanos Series)

Posted on by March 13, 2018
Marvel Legends King Cobra Figure Review

It’s been a quiet week for Marvel toy news, so time to dip into my huge cache of 2018 Marvel Legends figures that still need reviews! Having reviewed the most in-demand figure of the series first (the Thanos Build-A-Figure), it seemed appropriate to go for the guaranteed shelf-warmer of the series with my second review. The Marvel Legends King Cobra figure is readily available online for MSRP—but what he lacks in star power, he makes up for in being sheerly awesome!

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Infinity War Thanos Build-A-Figure

Close-Up of Infinity War Marvel Legends Thanos Head

When the Avengers Age of Ultron movie hit theaters, Hasbro had a bit of a missed opportunity with the Marvel Legends Ultron Build-A-Figure not hitting stores until months after the movie. Hasbro won’t be making the same mistake again, however, as the main Infinity War antagonist is available right out of the gate! You have to buy 6 of the 7 Marvel Legends Infinity War Wave 1 figures to build Thanos—is he worth the investment?
