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)

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

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

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)

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…

Marvel Legends Avengers GamerVerse Abomination Build-A-Figure REVIEW 2020

Review Avengers Marvel Legends GamerVerse Abomination Build-A-Figure

Although I wasn’t exactly giddy regarding the lineup of the 2020 Marvel Legends Avengers GamerVerse figures series, four of the six figures with Abomination Build-A-Figure parts were comics-based and thus must-buys for me, so I decided to go for broke and ended up buying GamerVerse Iron Man and Ms. Marvel to complete the Build-A-Figure. The Marvel Legends GamerVerse Abomination BAF is selling for 60 bucks by his lonesome on eBay—but is he worth building or buying outright at all?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Leader (2020 Avengers GamerVerse Abomination Series)

Marvel Legends The Leader Review Hasbro 2020 Avengers

This year’s sole wave of Avengers Legends is a real anomaly in the modern era of Hasbro Marvel Legends in that, well… I don’t particularly want half the figures in the wave (including the Build-A-Figure!). Maybe I’ll turn around completely once the Square-Enix Avengers video game hits, but for the moment, this GamerVerse Marvel Legends Abomination Series is leaving me cold. Luckily, half the wave is composed of comic book characters, including the subject of today’s review: is it worth following The Leader Marvel Legends figure all the way to checkout?

X-Men Marvel Legends Age of Apocalypse Jean Grey Figure REVIEW & Photos

Marvel Legends Age of Apocalypse Jean Grey Figure Review

Jumping back to my series of X-Men Marvel Legends Age of Apocalypse wave figures, today I’m going to check out the token female figure in the series! In one of her most unique looks ever, it’s the Marvel Legends X-Men Age of Apocalypse Jean Grey figure that’s available online now! AOA Jean Grey comes with a whopping zero accessories of her own, but also one of the biggest Build-A-Figure parts ever—does it even out and make her a worthwhile purchase?

REVIEW: Black Widow Marvel Legends Crimson Dynamo Build-A-Figure

Marvel Legends 2020 Black Widow Series Build-A-Figure Crimson Dynamo vs. Iron Spider Man

While it was a virtual certainty that we’d see a Marvel Legends Black Widow movie series in 2020, I don’t think many folks would have placed money on the Build-A-Figure of the series being Gennady Gavrilov, the 8th Crimson Dynamo who debuted in the 2003 “Crimson Dynamo” limited series! The rationale for the Marvel Legends Crimson Dynamo BAF being included in the Black Widow wave was obviously “Russian”, which is a little bit of a tenuous connection. But does that make this a bad figure? Not at all…

X-Men Age of Apocalypse Marvel Legends SUGAR MAN Build-A-Figure Review

Marvel Legends Sugar Man Build-A-Figure Review

If you had asked me a year ago what X-Men characters I never in my life thought would be made as super-articulated Hasbro Marvel Legends, Sugar Man would have definitely been on that list. But that was before Hasbro announced an entire series of Age of Apocalypse figures, defying fans’ expectations by not making the Build-A-Figure Holocaust or Apocalypse or Sabretooth, but instead… the Sugar Man! And so, the Sugar Man BAF has now cometh for those who bought the whole wave! Is this monstrous menace worth assembling…?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends X-Man Nate Grey Figure X-Men Age of Apocalypse

Marvel Legends X-Man Age of Apocalypse Figure Review

Of all the characters to come out of the X-Men Age of Apocalypse storyline, the strongest case can arguably be made for X-Man (Nate Grey) being the most impactful character to survive that universe and cross into the 616. So it feels fully appropriate that the alternate universe Cable make an appearance in this first wave of Marvel Legends Age of Apocalypse X-Men figures! Although he’s pre-sold out through Amazon and BBTS, EE still has Marvel Legends X-Man 6″ figure pre-orders available! Is he worth snagging?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends X-Men Age of Apocalypse Wild Child Figure (AOA)

Close-Up of Wild Child X-Men Legends Figure Review

X-Men Age of Apocalypse has been my favorite comic book story for over two decades (although Jonathan Hickman’s House of X may end up dethroning it!), so I’ve been chomping at the bit to get this year’s X-Men Legends Age of Apocalypse figures in-hand to review. And while I’ve only received two thus far, I just can’t wait any longer to start the reviews! Although he’s pre-sold out on Amazon and his listing is presently removed, Marvel Legends Wild Child is in-stock for ordering now on EE! Is the first toy of AOA Sabretooth’s little buddy in 25 years worth ordering?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Shang-Chi Master of Kung Fu Figure (Hasbro 2020)

Hasbro Shang-Chi Marvel Legends 2020 Figure Review

I’ve been rationing out reviews for the last few 2020 Marvel Legends figures I’ve received thus far–and I’m not willing to go out for a pandemic toy run–so hopefully the next waves of Hasbro Marvel Legends ship via online retailers soon. But in the meantime, I’ve got at least one headliner (at least to hardcore comic book fans!) figure left to review! The first-ever 6″ Shang-Chi Legends figure is now available for order in the Spider-Man Demogoblin Series–has Hasbro done a masterful job with the Master of Kung Fu?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Velocity Suit Spider-Man Figure (PS4 GamerVerse)

Close-Up of Spider-Man Legends Velocity Suit Action Figure Demogoblin Series

The Marvel toy news drought continues while the collecting world is mostly on hold because of COVID-19, so let’s take a look at another 2020 Marvel Legends figure review that I’ve had in the queue! Last time I looked at the Spider Armor Mark III figure, which I ended up liking far more than I was expecting to. This time, let’s see if the other Spidey variant in the wave fares as well! The Marvel Legends Velocity Suit Spider-Man figure is required to build the Demogoblin BAF, and is the only pure GamerVerse figure in the wave: is it also any good?
