Marvel Legends Moon Knight Figure REVIEW (Strange Tales Blackheart Series)

REVIEW Marvel Legends Strange Tales Moon Knight Figure with Blackheart BAF Head

I think it really says something about the Marvel Legends Strange Tales Series that I could reasonably see any of the characters in the wave coming with a severed demon head. But it’s not just anyone that comes with the Marvel Legends Blackheart Build-A-Figure head—it’s the new Moon Knight in his 80s white and gold costume! We’ve had comic book styled Moon Knight Legends figures before—does this one have enough new features to be worth adding to your collection? Here’s my review…

REVIEW: Marvel Gallery Silver Surfer Statue (Diamond Select Toys)

Close-Up of Energy Effects on Diamond Select Silver Surfer Gallery Statue

Diamond Select Toys doesn’t always hit a home run with their value-priced line of Marvel Gallery PVC statues (my mind is still boggled by that white-eyed Gambit from the start of 2024), but when they do good, they do great. Such is the case with today’s review of my newest entry in that line: the Marvel Gallery Silver Surfer statue is cosmically cruising into homes now, and is one of my favorite additions to the lineup in quite some time…

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Astonishing X-Men Wolverine Figure (85th Anniversary)

Marvel Legends Size Scale Comparison Astonishing Wolverine and Cyclops

There’s no doubt that Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men comic books run was a watershed moment for the merry mutants, and John Cassaday’s costume designs for the x-Men have had enduring popularity as a result. So even though Toybiz released a very nice Astonishing Wolverine in 2005, it’s no shocker to see Hasbro upgrading that iteration of Logan in the 85th Anniversary Marvel Legends series during Wolverine’s own 50th anniversary. The 2024 Marvel Legends Astonishing X-Men Wolverine figure is starting to ship now—is this the ultimate release of this version?

2024 Marvel Legends SHE-HULK Retro Figure REVIEW

She-Hulk Marvel Legends 2024 Figure Review Bench Press Mary Jane Watson

If there’s one superheroine I don’t mind seeing Hasbro upgrade every few years, it’s She-Hulk. But when we saw the initial photos with the pre-order for the 2024 Marvel Legends She-Hulk figure from the Retro Iron Man Series, it looked like we might get the definitive Jennifer Walters that would need upgraded no more. Is the final product Shulkie figure up to that high bar of expectations? Here’s my review…

Marvel Legends Cable REVIEW (2024 Zabu Build-A-Figure Series)

Marvel Legends Cable 2024 Figure in 90s Marvel vs Capcom 2 Costume

Cable has had his fair share of Hasbro action figures, though still far less than the copious amount that Toybiz put out. Even so, it’s been over half a decade now since the last comics-based Cable Legends figure was released and demand for the popular character has grown quite high! And so, Nathan Christopher Charles Dayspring Askani’son Summers is finally returning to stores this summer as a headliner in the Marvel Legends Zabu Series. Is Hasbro’s latest Marvel Legends Cable figure their best? Here’s my review…

REVIEW: Marvel Legends WOLFSBANE Figure (2024 Zabu BAF Series)

REVIEW Marvel Legends Wolfsbane Hasbro 6" Figure

“Slow and steady” wins the race, but I think it’s also an apt descriptor for how Hasbro has team built the Peter David 90s X-Factor team in 6” Marvel Legends form. It’s been 6 years since Marvel Legends Multiple Man kicked off this iteration of X-Factor in the Apocalypse Build-A-Figure Series, but Rahne Sinclair has at last arrived to complete the team. The just-released Marvel Legends Wolfsbane figure has just started shipping as part of the mixed characters Zabu BAF wave—should you snag this long-awaited Scottish werewolf to your collection? Here’s my review…

REVIEW: X-Men 97 JEAN GREY Marvel Legends Figure

X-Men Legends 97 Wave 2 Cyclops and Jean Grey Action Figures

X-Men ‘97 is a smash hit, and Hasbro’s excellent tie-in toy line is enjoying massive success as well. As such, I’m continuing along with my series of 6” Marvel legends X-Men 97 figures with a key member of the team. We’ve had several previous Hasbro action figures of her in 90s Jim Lee costume, but is the new X-Men 97 Legends Jean Grey figure the definitive version of the character?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends X-Men 97 CYCLOPS Figure (Hasbro Wave 2)

Angry Head Optic Blast Cyclops X-Men 97 Hasbro Action Figure

Way back in my 2017 review, I thought the X-Men Legends Cyclops figure in the Warlock Series was acceptable, despite its flaws, because we were in the middle of a Jim Lee Cyclops famine. In 2024, not so much. We’ve seen numerous representations of Cyke in this costume in the interim, but as far as Hasbro 6” figures go, the newly-released X-Men 97 Marvel Legends Cyclops easily takes the crown as the best Jim Lee Cyclops figure ever made…

REVIEW: X-Men 97 Marvel Legends Goblin Queen Madelyne Pryor Figure

X-Men 97 ,arvel Legends Goblin Queen vs Jean Grey Hasbro 6" Figures

In a world where we have Hasbro X-Men Legends figures of Pretty Boy, Vertigo and Skullbuster, it’s really quite astonishing that one the greatest female X-villains of all time has never had a toy… until now. After fans’ hopes were dashed by the failed Ghost Rider Haslab, Cyclops’ first wife is finally here: the X-Men 97 Wave 2 Marvel Legends Goblin Queen Madelyne Pryor figure is now starting to arrive!

X-Men 97 Marvel Legends X-Cutioner Figure Review and Photos

Review Marvel Legends X-Men 97 X-Cutioner Figure

When you’re bringing a toy of a relativrly unknown character to retail stores, said toy needs to be really cool to earn buys and avoid rotting off the shelves (or worse, ending up at Ollie’s). Hasbro delivered such a figure with Crystar earlier this year, and (spoilers for the rest of this review) they do so again with this terrific X-Men 97 Marvel Legends X-Cutioner figure that’s shipping out this month as part of wave 2 of the line. Here’s my review…

Marvel Legends VOID Build-A-Figure REVIEW (Hasbro 2024 BAF)

Marvel Legends THE VOID Build-A-Figure Review 2024 Hasbro

The Void, the evil alter-ego (of a sort) of The Sentry, is essentially a near-omnipotent dark god. This Dark Sentry has only physically appeared a few times in Marvel comic books, but is easily one of the most powerful and deadly villainous entities in the Marvel Universe. As Hasbro released an updated Sentry in 2022, the timing seemed right to finally create this monstrous force. Due to its massive size and bulk, fans will have to buy six figures in the Marvel Legends Void Build-A-Figure Series to complete the fiendish foe—is it worth dropping that much for the ML Void BAF?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Mary Jane & Green Goblin Spider-Man Animated Figures

Review Marvel Legends Spider-Man Animated Mary Jane and Green Goblin Figures

A Toybiz action figure I got a surprising amount of enjoyment out of growing up was the 1996 Marvel’s Famous Couples Mary Jane from Spider-Man: The Animated Series. I never expected to see that version of the character in toy form again, but 27 years later, Hasbro brought Spider-Man TAS MJ back to life in Marvel Legends form, as part of a 2-Pack with Animated Green Goblin! Was this exclusive VHS 2-pack of Spidey icons worth picking up while you still can?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends POWER PRINCESS Figure (Void Series 2024)

Marvel Legends Power Princess Review Hasbro Void Build A Figure Series 2024

I overconfidently assumed there would be plenty of time to pick up the complete Marvel Legends Void Series, but that supposition was proven wrong when Power Princess started to become nearly unobtainable at non-inflated prices. Luckily, I was able to quickly get a Marvel Legends Power Princess from Entertainment Earth to review and also to finish my Void Build-A-Figure. Many fans are purchasing this figure as a stand-in for Wonder Woman—a role Zarda here excels at. She’s not Princess Diana in name, but is this Squadron Supreme-completing team member still the best 6” Wonder Woman figure ever?

Marvel Legends Doc Ock Movie Figure REVIEW (Hasbro Spider-Man 2023)

Doctor Octopus Marvel Legends 2023 Deluxe Spider-Man Movie Hasbro Action Figure Review

Movie Doctor Octopushas been a primary demand from ML collectors for years, and 2 years after Spider-Man No Way Home hit theaters, the MCU Hasbro Marvel Legends Doc Ock 6” figure arrived. Rather than being a pack-in Build-A-Figure as many fans dreamed, the Marvel Legends Doctor Octopus movie figure is a $38 deluxe standalone release. Is this unique-sculpted Spidey villain worth a pair of Andrew Jacksons and a spot on your shelf? Here’s my review…

2024 Marvel Legends JUSTICE 6″ Figure REVIEW (Void Build-A-Figure Series)

2024 Marvel Legends Justice Figure Review New Warriors Marvel Boy

The third time is the charm—or at least, that’s what a lot of Vance Atrovik fans are hoping with regards to the hero’s inevitable third figure. Because the second one, which is the subject of today’s review, isn’t quite the version most fans were hoping for. Marvel Legends Justice is now flying in at retail—is this Void Series figure a winner despite not being the original New Warriors iteration of the character that the line seems ready for?
