Not every figure has been a winner (I’m looking at -you-, Miles Morales), but by and large there have been a lot more hits than misses. And this week, I’ll review a few of those hits, starting with the subject of today’s review! The Marvel Select Vision figure is classic as can be—is he a must-have for your classic Avengers lineup?

Walgreens has been getting a lot of fan-demanded Marvel Legends exclusives lately, including Quasar, Nova and Baron Zemo. But their most recent release was a bit of a surprise when announced, as it was a character there didn’t seem to be much hype to see redone right away.

Hasbro Ultron Marvel Legensa Mouth Energy Effects Piece Close-Up

If there’s one villain that was wronged by the first 19 years of Marvel Legends, it’s Ultron. Toybiz’s long-eared attempt was universally hated, and Hasbro’s first efforts weren’t quite on the ball either. But for this year’s series of Iron Man Marvel Legends, Hasbro finally hit a home run. Ultron quickly sold out through most online retailers, and has been difficult to locate at retail stores. But finally, I had the opportunity to sit down and review my own classic Ultron Marvel Legends Figure!

Marvel Comics Avengers Fine Art Statue Iron Man Kotobukiya

Kotobukiya has dramatically slowed down their output of Marvel collectibles over the last year and change, and news on their Marvel ARTFX Premier and Bishoujo lines has trickled to almost nothing.
