Marvel Legends Bloodstorm REVIEW (Strange Tales Blackheart Series Figure)

Marvel Legends Bloodstorm Figure Review

If you put Bloodstorm on your 2024 Marvel Legends Bingo board, you deserve to give yourself a monstrous pat on the back right now.

Marvel Legends Moon Knight Figure REVIEW (Strange Tales Blackheart Series)

REVIEW Marvel Legends Strange Tales Moon Knight Figure with Blackheart BAF Head

We’ve had comic book styled Moon Knight Legends figures before—does this one have enough new features to be worth adding to your collection? Here’s my review…

REVIEW: Marvel Gallery Silver Surfer Statue (Diamond Select Toys)

Close-Up of Energy Effects on Diamond Select Silver Surfer Gallery Statue

Diamond Select Toys doesn’t always hit a home run with their value-priced line of Marvel Gallery PVC statues (my mind is still boggled by that white-eyed Gambit from the start of 2024), but when they do good, they do great. Such is the case with today’s review of my newest entry in that line: the Marvel Gallery Silver Surfer statue is cosmically cruising into homes now, and is one of my favorite additions to the lineup in quite some time…

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Hellverine Figure (Weapon of Vengeance Blackheart Series)

Close-Up of Hellverine Wolverine Toy Six Inch Figure

The first time I saw Hellverine, I thought it was yet another half-assed entry in the continuing modern trend of mash-up characters. After reading Benjamin Percy’s comics about the Wolverine X Ghost Rider character, I was fully sold and ready for a toy. Luckily, I didn’t need to wait long: the Hasbro Marvel Legends Hellverine figure is now starting to ship as part of the Strange Tales Blackheart Series! Here’s my review of the first toy ever of the Weapon of Vengeance…

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Astonishing X-Men Wolverine Figure (85th Anniversary)

Marvel Legends Size Scale Comparison Astonishing Wolverine and Cyclops

There’s no doubt that Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men comic books run was a watershed moment for the merry mutants, and John Cassaday’s costume designs for the x-Men have had enduring popularity as a result. So even though Toybiz released a very nice Astonishing Wolverine in 2005, it’s no shocker to see Hasbro upgrading that iteration of Logan in the 85th Anniversary Marvel Legends series during Wolverine’s own 50th anniversary. The 2024 Marvel Legends Astonishing X-Men Wolverine figure is starting to ship now—is this the ultimate release of this version?

2024 Marvel Legends SHE-HULK Retro Figure REVIEW

She-Hulk Marvel Legends 2024 Figure Review Bench Press Mary Jane Watson

If there’s one superheroine I don’t mind seeing Hasbro upgrade every few years, it’s She-Hulk. But when we saw the initial photos with the pre-order for the 2024 Marvel Legends She-Hulk figure from the Retro Iron Man Series, it looked like we might get the definitive Jennifer Walters that would need upgraded no more. Is the final product Shulkie figure up to that high bar of expectations? Here’s my review…
