Sam Wilson became Captain America way back in 2014, and Hasbro released their first Marvel Legends Sam Wilson Captain America figure soon after in a 2016 3-pack with Vision and Kate Bishop Hawkeye.

Is this the Falcon Cap that Sam’s fans have been waiting for?

With all the love Marvel Legends has been giving comic book and Disney+ characters lately, fans of primarily the now-classic Infinity Saga Marvel movies may be feeling a bit left out. But Hasbro has a remedy for that—a new full wave of 8 Marvel Legends Infinity Saga figures! Even so, this assortment is likely to draw the ire of many long-time collectors. Old favorite characters like Iron Man Mark II, Stealth Captain America, Bruce Banner and Winter Soldier Black Widow are back up for order today at 1PM EST—but they may look a lot like previous versions of the characters…

I really, really hate zombies. I think they’re ugly and gross and all-around unpleasant to look at or think about. But something about “Paragon of Good” Captain America as a gruesome, flesh-eating, corpse-colored zombie holds a certain juxtapositional appeal, even to me. And so, I had little doubt in my mind that the Marvel Legends Zombie Captain America figure would be a top seller, regardless of how the What If? show was ultimately received. And, well—he has indeed sold like wildfire! Is this brain-eating Sentinel of Liberty’s success deserved? Here’s my review…

If anyIf anyone had told me a year ago that my last review of 2021 would be me reviewing a Marvel Legends Armadillo Build-A-Figure semi-blind, I’d have thought they were crazy on all fronts. But here we are, so let’s begin. Collectors will need to buy almost the entire Marvel Legends Spider-Man No Way Home figures series of 6″ figures to get all the pieces for the ML Armadillo BAF. Is it worth the expense to build this relatively obscure pro wrestling supervillain?
