Marvel Legends Abomination Build-A-Figure Review & Photos

Posted on by September 10, 2016
Captain America Marvel Legends Wave 3 Abomination Build-A-Figure

It’s not very often that I find myself writing a review for a figure weeks after I reviewed its exclusive repaint, but such is the case with tonight’s subject: the Marvel Legends Abomination Build-A-Figure. Not only was this figure released after its own repaint, but this Abomination BAF is actually selling for more than the SDCC Exclusive version! But despite which version seems to be in higher demand, is this really the better iteration of Hulk’s arch-enemy? Let’s take a look…

Marvel Legends Miles Morales Spider-Man 6″ Review & Photos!

Spider-Man Legends Miles Morales Six Inch Figure

It’s a testament to the insane popularity of Spider-Gwen that the figure I’m reviewing today isn’t the most-anticipated Spider-Man Legends figure of the year. He may only have been created a half-decade ago, but Miles Morales has earned himself a loving fan-base, his own 616 Marvel Universe comic book series, a spot on the Avengers–and now his first real Hasbro 6″ figure! The Marvel Legends Miles Morales Spider-Man figure is available online now for below MSRP: here’s why you should get one…

Marvel Legends Electro Review and Photos 2016

It’s been a pretty rough couple years for poor Electro. First there was the critically-maligned Electro character design from Amazing Spider-Man 2, then in the comics Electro lost control of his powers, accidentally murdered his girlfriend, lost his powers entirely, and then got killed himself by his resurrected girlfriend–the new female Electro. Like I said–it’s been a rough couple years. But on the bright side, the new Marvel Legends Electro figure is now available online! Should you get one? Read on for my Electro review…

Sandman Marvel Legends Hasbro Exclusive Figure

The Hasbro Toy Shop San Diego Comic-Con 2016 exclusives online sale came and went earlier this month–and to the surprise of everyone, the Marvel Legends The Raft set was easily available for hours without a hitch! If you missed it, don’t despair–there are plenty available of The Raft set on the aftermarket for around MSRP! Anyway, although most collectors who wanted The Raft have purchased it already, there’s one more figure from the set I want to review: Marvel Legends Sandman in his sand form!

Funko Marvel Collector Corps Spider-Man Box Review

Ordinarily I write up a whole article detailing my speculations regarding what’s going to be in each Funko Marvel box, but after the Deadpool box, I think we all knew what to expect from the Marvel Collector Corps Spider-Man box. But before we all order our October Doctor Strange boxes (which I think are gonna be awesome), let’s stop and take a look at what was chosen for the August box…

LEGO Ghost-Rider Team-Up Review and Photos

Although they don’t release anywhere near the quantity of Marvel toys each year as Hasbro does, The LEGO Group has become one of the most consistently great manufacturers of Marvel figures over the last few years. And the set I’m covering for review today may be one of the single-best entries they’ve ever put out: the LEGO Spider-Man Ghost Rider Team-Up is available for $19 right now, and is a must-own for Ghost Rider fans…

Close-Up of Marvel Legends Abomination SDCC Exclusive Figure Head

Today is the big day that Hasbro will be selling the remainder of their SDCC 2016 exclusives stock online, so what better day to look at another heavy-hitter from the SDCC Marvel Legends The Raft set than today, right? I expected him to be one of the most sought-after figures from the set on the aftermarket, but the Marvel Legends Abomination is actually one of the least expensive figures from the set! Is the lack of interest in this Abomination figure justified…?

Review Bandai Ant-Man SH Figuarts Figure

Hasbro is releasing more Marvel Legends 6″ figures in 2016 than ever before, but even so, collectors trying to fill out their MCU movie figure rosters are still having a rough time, as only a handful of figures Hasbro puts out each year are movie-based. But Bandai Japan is coming to the rescue with a 6″ Civil War Ant-Man figure! The import SH Figuarts Ant-Man figure will run collectors about $50-$60 online–is he worth it? Read on for my review…

Marvel Legends Dreadknight Review & Photos! (The Raft)

Close-Up of Dreadknight Marvel Legends Six Inch Figure

Marvel Legends San Diego Comic-Con exclusive sets are famous for bringing us some off-the-wall characters that we’d likely never see at mass retail, and I think that’s epitomized by the subject of today’s review: Marvel Legends Dreadknight! While Dreadknight is actually selling for surprisingly cheap on the aftermarket, he surpasses the Enchantress as my favorite figure in the con exclusive set this year…

Marvel Legends The Enchantress Figure with Effects Piece

San Diego Comic-Con 2016 may have come and gone, but there’s still a chance for collectors to obtain the Hasbro SDCC 2016 exclusives next week on Hasbro Toy Shop! And with that in mind, there’s no better time to review the Marvel Legends The Raft set figures than now–beginning with the hottest one! Fans have demanded a Marvel Legends Enchantress for years, and she’s selling for more than half the cost of the whole set on the aftermarket–but is Enchantress worth the hype?

Hasbro X-Men Legends Rogue Six Inch Figure Close-Up

Not only is this summer’s Hasbro Marvel Legends X-Men figures series momentous for being the first series of X-Men figures in two years, but it’s also the most female-loaded Marvel Legends series ever, with three female characters present in the lineup! I reviewed the very nice Phoenix figure last week, and tonight I’m taking a look at what I hoped would be the definitive version of one of my favorite X-Women: Marvel Legends Rogue!

Marvel Legends Review Hasbro Cable 6" Figure

I started off my reviews of the 2016 Marvel Legends X-Men figures with a figure that I thought wasn’t getting the limelight it deserved–Phoenix–and today, I’m going to continue with another underrated six-inch figure.

To my surprise, the Marvel Legends Cable figure is still available for order online individually. But it’s not because of any fault of this figure–the X-Men Legends Cable 6″ figure is one of Hasbro’s best figures this year!

Marvel Legends Phoenix Review

When I reached out to readers and asked which of the new X-Men Legends figures I should review first, I expected a cacophony of Deadpool requests–and predictably, there were. But to my surprise, an almost equal number of readers asked to hear about the new Marvel Legends Phoenix figure that’s still available for order online! We’ve had several 6″ Jean Grey figures before–is it worth adding this latest version of the greatest psychic mutant ever in the Marvel Universe to your collections? Read on…

The Marvel Legends Spider-Man 3 Pack is available exclusively from EE until August–should you get one?
