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

Posted on by June 8, 2020
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?

Marvel Legends Dark Beast X-Men Age of Apocalypse 2020 Figure Review

Posted on by May 17, 2020
Marvel Legends Age of Apocalypse Beast Review vs Blue Beast

As an impressionable 13 year-old when X-Men “Age of Apocalypse” hit in 1995, the appearance of a sinister, morality-blind alternate universe Hank McCoy blew my mind. And when that evil Beast crossed over to continue his mad science in the main Marvel Universe? Jaw dropped in disbelief! There’s zero question that Dark Beast is among the longest-lasting and most significant characters from the AOA—and an obvious choice for Hasbro’s first wave from the series. X-Men Marvel Legends Dark Beast is shipping this month from online retailers—is this a sadistic Hank McCoy worth dropping your dollars on?

New York Comic Con 2020 is not something I expected to be talking about in May 2020–especially since it’s uncertain whether or not that beloved annual October event is even going to occur this year. But Kotobukiya had other thoughts, because this week they went and announced a limited edition exclusive for the show—that’s only available via pre-order from online retailers! The Kotobukiya NYCC 2020 Bishoujo Phoenix Rebirth (Green) Statue is now up for order—is this an exclusive worth locking in?

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?

Posted on by June 27, 2021
Toy Fair 2020 DST Marvel Animated Busts and Statues

Two Marvel topics guaranteed to get me warm and fuzzy are Marvel mini busts and the various 90s animated cartoon series (headlined by the X-Men and Spider-Man cartoons). I never thought those two facets would come together—but thanks to Diamond Select Toys, now they have! The low-priced Jim Lee Cyclops bust kicking off the line just shipped out, with guaranteed hits like Wolverine and Magneto coming up fast. And at Toy Fair, DST expanded their offerings further by debuting Spider-Man, Deadpool, Mysterio and more!
