REVIEW: Disney+ Marvel Legends Loki Figure (2021 Hasbro TVA Costume)

Posted on by August 12, 2021
Loki Disney+ Action Figure Come at Me Articulation

I’ve gone out of my way to avoid watching any and all trailers for each of the Disney+ Marvel series so far, so from the time Hasbro unveiled this year’s new Loki in drab businessman-looking attire to when I ordered this Marvel Legends Loki Disney+ figure online to even after I had it unboxed and in-hand, I had zero clue what the heck this ML Loki was all about. But having now watched and fallen in love with the entire Disney+ Loki series—and with Sylvie and Mobius figures on the way—it’s high time I sat down and reviewed what is definitely the weirdest-clothed Loki action figure to-date…

Marvel Legends WandaVision Scarlet Witch Figure REVIEW & Photos

Close-Up of WandaVision Legends Scarlet Witch Figure

While Hot Toys has been showing off their super nifty (and super expensive) WandaVision sixth scale figures of the white Vision and Scarlet Witch figures this month, not everyone wants to wait another year and spend $500+ for a pair of figures of those characters. And for those fans, Hasbro has their own Marvel Legends WandaVision Scarlet Witch and Vision available now! These (particularly Wanda) seem to be selling out pretty quickly as they come into stock. Is it worth hunting down your own 6” Scarlet Witch figure in her Disney+ costume? Here’s my review…

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Xemnu Build-A-Figure BAF Super Villains Series

Posted on by June 6, 2021
Review Xemnu Marvel Legends Supervillains Series Build A Figure

Oftentimes, Hasbro successfully uses a Marvel Legends Build-A-Figure as a proverbial carrot to entice collectors into buying an entire series of figures to build an essential character such as the Kingpin or Sauron. The subject of today’s review… is not one of those characters. The Marvel Legends Super Villains series is bringing us some of the most fan-demanded villains in toy form from across the Marvel Universe, but the BAF is easily the most obscure character in the whole wave. Even so, the Marvel Legends Xemnu Build-A-Figure is still selling for about 80 bucks on the aftermarket. Is this super-articulated niche figure worth those lofty prices?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Stilt-Man Build-A-Figure (Spider-Man 2021 Series)

Posted on by March 27, 2021
Review Marvel Legends Stilt-Man Build-A-Figure

Over the years, Hasbro has released many of the biggest and baddest villains in the Marvel Universe as Build-A-Figures. From Thanos and Rhino to Sauron and Apocalypse, we’ve gotten iconic villain after villain in BAF form. And now… we have a Marvel Legends Stilt-Man Build-A-Figure that can be assembled by buying the first Marvel Legends 2021 Spider-Man Series. I never expected we’d see a toy of this character beyond a Minimates figure, but here he is. This is likely to be the only 6” Stilt-Man action figure ever made. Is it a great one?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends 2021 Marvel Girl Jean Grey Figure (House of X Tri-Sentinel Series)

Posted on by March 14, 2021
X-Men Marvel Legends House of X Jean Grey Review Six Inch Figure

Jonathan Hickman’s House of X/Powers of X is basically the equivalent of the X-Men holy bible in my eyes, so there was never a doubt I would drop everything to review this year’s House of X Marvel Legends X-Men Series figures as soon as I got the set in-hand. And after having to wait a few days for the last figure to arrive so I could bust open the whole set, she’s finally here! Marvel Legends House of X Marvel Girl is the fastest-selling figure in this year’s X-Men Legends series—let’s see if she’s worthy of the hype!

Venom Marvel Legends Venomized Miles Morales Figure REVIEW

Review Marvel Legends Venomized Miles Morales Venompool Series Figure

Hasbro displayed some pretty rad figures at New York Toy Fair 2020 last February (right before they world ground to a halt), and one of the surprise figures that most captured my eyes was the Venomized Miles Morales Marvel Legends Venom Venompool Series figure. I‘ve been a big Miles fan since the character’s creation, and after a deluge of Spider-Verse styled merch for that version of Miles Morales Spider-Man, I was excited to see a fresh symbiote version. Now that I have the final product in-hand, is Maximum Venom Venomized Miles Morales a winner?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends 2021 Spider-Man Frog-Man Figure (Stilt-Man Series)

Marvel Legends 2021 Frog-Man Figure Review and Photos

If anyone needed any evidence that absolutely nobody from the Marvel Comics universe is off-the-table anymore for getting an action figure, I point to the subject of today’s review: Spider-Man Marvel Legends Frog-Man! I had hope in my heart that I could review the Fabulous Frog-Man as my first Spider-Man Marvel Legends 2021 review, and finding him by surprise before my online pre-order could arrive has made that dream a reality! Is Hasbro off to a good start with my first most-anticipated action figure of 2021?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Venompool Build-A-Figure (2020 Venom Series)

Posted on by November 17, 2020
Marvel Legends Venompool Build-A-Figure Review

We are living in an unprecedented era of Hasbro giving us a deeper cut of Marvel characters as action figures than has ever been seen before. As such, not every character will be to every fan’s liking. That’s how I felt about today’s review subject. While you have to buy the whole 2020 Marvel Legends Venom series to build the Venompool Build-A-Figure, I was hellbent on hating this BAF. But once I got him assembled, well… I felt a little different…

Marvel Legends Thunderbird Figure Review (2020 X-Men Target Exclusive)

Posted on by October 26, 2020
Marvel Legends Thunderbird Review Target Exclusive

When pre-orders opened up and then sold out virtually instantaneously for the Target Exclusive Marvel Legends Storm and Thunderbird two-pack, many collectors feared that they were going to have a relative nightmare on their hands. But as fate would have it, this exclusive Marvel Legends Target pack has ended up being plentiful in many stores, leaving collectors with whether or not they want the set, rather than whether or not they can find it. And so, let’s start with a peek at the Marvel Legends Thunderbird figure…

Marvel Legends AOA Apocalypse Deluxe Boxed Figure REVIEW & Photos

Marvel Legends AOA Apocalypse Figure Review 2020

Although I reviewed all seven figures in the actual Age of Apocalypse Marvel Legends X-Men wave of 6″ figures, there was one last figure in the overall theme I was waiting on to review. And while I never managed to track one down at retail, the X-Men Legends Apocalypse Age of Apocalypse deluxe boxed figure I ordered from Amazon arrived this week. This may be the last AOA figure that we get from Hasbro for a while (but hopefully not forever)–does this world-conquering En Sabah Nur action figure disappoint?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Strong Guy Build-A-Figure (X-Force/Deadpool 2020 Series)

Posted on by October 1, 2020
Marvel Legends Strong Guy Review

Peter David’s X-Factor 90s run might be the first X-Men spin-off comic book series that I ever truly loved, so to say Hasbro got my attention when they started building this roster in super-articulated form would be an understatement. I was skeptical the team would come to fruition, but with Guido’s arrival this summer, 90s X-Factor is (more ore less) complete! You’ll have to buy every figure in this year’s Marvel Legends X-Force/Deadpool wave to build the Strong Guy Build-A-Figure: is he worth it?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends NIMROD X-Men Amazon 3-Pack Exclusive Figure

Posted on by September 13, 2020
Marvel Legends Nimrod Review Hasbro X-Men Legends 2020 Exclusive

Of all the 6” scale figures that Hasbro has coming our way in the Marvel Legends 2020 lineup, nothing made my eyes light up and etched a smile on my face as much as the New York Toy Fair 2020 reveal of the oversized Marvel Legends Nimrod figure. After waiting patiently for over half a year, the Amazon Exclusive Marvel Legends X-Men 3-Pack with Nimrod finally arrived this week—but did the ultimate Sentinel have any chance to match up to my sky-high expectations?

2020 Marvel Legends X-Men Age of Apocalypse Sunfire Figure Review

Posted on by September 13, 2020
Marvel Legends Age of Apocalypse Sunfire Figure Review

Perhaps appropriately, the last figure in my series of X-Men Age of Apocalypse Marvel Legends reviews is also the one and only figure in the wave that Hasbro has previously done a 6” version of! While the original Hasbro AOA Sunfire figure used to sell for big bucks on the aftermarket, the new 2020 Marvel Legends Age of Apocalypse Sunfire is one of the few figures in the wave selling for at or above MSRP. Has Hasbro one-upped their earlier effort to deliver the best AOA Sunfire action figure ever?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends X-Men Age of Apocalypse MORPH Figure (Sugar Man Series)

Posted on by August 29, 2020
Hasbro Marvel Legends AOA Blink and Morph Figures

My 2020 Deadpool and X-Force Marvel Legends Strong Guy Series figures have started to arrive, so I’ve finally got the motivation I needed to finish off my reviews of the Age of Apocalypse series. Today I’m looking at a figure that I was hyped for the moment it was announced–but has ended up being the pegwarmer of the series! You can get X-Men Marvel Legends Morph for 15 bucks shipped online–is he worth snagging at that discounted price (even if just for the Sugar Man BAF piece)?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends X-Men Age of Apocalypse Weapon X Wolverine Figure

Hasbro Marvel Legends 2020 X-Men Age of Apocalypse Wolverine Figure Close-up

It’s been quite a while since my last Marvel Legends reviews, but I’m back and ready to wipe out the last three figures in this year’s X-Men Age of Apocalypse Legends wave! And first up will be the only double-packed figure in the wave. You can get the Marvel Legends AOA Weapon X Wolverine figure for about 15 bucks shipped now online—is he worth picking up at that 20% discount? Here’s my review of the alternate universe Best There Is At What He Does…
