REVIEW: Marvel Legends Vulture Figure (2020 Spider-Man Demogoblin Series)

Posted on by February 13, 2020
Wings on Marvel Legends Demogoblin Wave Vulture Action Figure

New York Toy Fair 2020 is just a short 10 days away—but before I get to NYC to photograph and preview a plethora of upcoming Hasbro Marvel Legends 2020 figures, I’ve got some catching up to do talking about some recently-released ones! And this time out, I knew the figure I wanted to review first—because he’s a cagey old codger who refuses to wait: the 2020 Marvel Legends Vulture figure headlining the Spider-Man Demogoblin Series is now available! After over a decade since the last 6” classic Vulture, has Hasbro perfected the old-timer?

Marvel Legends Venom Build-A-Figure Reissue Up for Order!

Marvel Legends 2020 Venom Box Back

With New York Toy Fair 2020 just two weeks and change away, I expected Hasbro to hold all their cards close to their vest until the event. Nevertheless, over the weekend images leaked of a new version of the popular 2018 Hasbro Monster Venom Build-A-Figure. And now, those who missed out on the original release and who just wanted a crack at a more “classic” styled iteration have got another chance: the Marvel Legends Venom Build-A-Figure variant is now up for order as a solo figure!

REVIEW: 2020 Marvel Legends Super Skrull Build-A-Figure (Fantastic Four)

Review Marvel Legends Super Skrull Build-A-Figure

But wait—there’s more! Before I move on to reviews of the first 2020 Marvel Legends Spider-Man series, there’s one more Fantastic Four Legends figure to review: the Super Skrull Build-A-Figure! Toybiz released several variants of Super Skrull that were ridiculously difficult and expensive to obtain, but you can build this Hasbro Super Skrull BAF “free” if you buy the whole Fantastic Four series. Is he worth buying this wave to complete…?

Exclusive Marvel Legends Black Widow Grey & White Costume Comic Figures!

Marvel Legends Exclusive Black Widow Grey White Comic Book Figures

Last week I noted my surprise that the movie Black Widow Legends figure in white costume was going to be available via many retailers and not just as a Target or Walmart exclusive like last year’s pair of Captain Marvels. Well, looks like Hasbro was way ahead of me and had that box checked already with comic variants–a Walmart Exclusive Marvel Legends Grey Costume Black Widow is now up for order, and Target has their own comic-based white costume Black Widow as well!

REVIEW: Marvel Legends She-Hulk Figure (Fantastic Four Super Skrull Series)

She-Hulk Marvel Legends Fantastic Four Series Figure vs The Thing

While I’ve already previously reviewed the whole new Marvel Legends Fantastic Four team and Doctor Doom figures, there’s still one more single-packed figure left to review from the wave—who, coincidentally, is perhaps the most controversial and least-hyped figure in the Super Skrull series! Succumbing to her rage and PTSD, modern Grey She-Hulk is now available as a Marvel Legends figure for the very first time! This take on Shulkie wasn’t exactly a major hit with comic book fans—but that doesn’t mean her action figure will necessarily share the same fate…

Black Widow Marvel Legends Deluxe White Costume Figure Up for Order!

Marvel Legends White Costume Black Widow Figure and Accessories

The moment that the first trailer for the Black Widow movie dropped and the corresponding movie Legends wave was revealed last month, collectors started demanding to know when and where we’d be getting a figure of the eye-grabbing white costume seen prominently in the trailer. Well, Hasbro didn’t make us wait too long for the answer: the Deluxe Black Widow Marvel Legends White Costume figure is now up for order with free shipping—and she comes packing extra gun, effects pieces, explosions, a flight stand and more!

REVIEW: Fantastic Four Marvel Legends Human Torch Johnny Storm Figure

Human Torch Six Inch Figure Hasbro 2020 Marvel Legends

FLAME ON! Or, at least… sort of on! Maybe 10% on! It’s finally time to complete my reviews of the new Marvel Legends Fantastic Four, with the original Marvel hot-headed young male—Johnny Storm! This is the figure that varies the most wildly from the Walgreens Exclusive version, but this Human Torch is also the easiest Fantastic Four Legends figure to snag online for retail. Is there anything wrong with this flamed-off Human Torch figure, or is non-powered Johnny Storm just not as visually compelling in toy form…?

Doctor Doom Marvel Legends 2020 Figure Review (Super Skrull Series)

Posted on by January 10, 2020
Fantastic Four Legends Thing vs Dr Doom

I was planning to finish off the week by flaming on a review of the new Human Torch figure, but it turned out that there was a despot who demanded to be moved closer to Richards in the reviewing queue! Considered by many to be the greatest villain in the Marvel Universe (and even greatest villain period by some), the King of Latveria has already pre-sold out via sites like Amazon and BBTS despite being two-per-case. EE is still taking orders for the new Marvel Legends Doctor Doom figure for an arrival this month—is this a figure worth locking in if you haven’t done so already…?

Marvel Legends 2020 Fantastic Four The Thing Figure Review (Super Skrull Series)

Posted on by January 9, 2020
The Thing and Invisible Woman Hasbro Marvel Legends 2020 Figures

Logically I would follow up my 2020 Marvel Legends Invisible Woman review with a look at her brother (the Human Torch), but instead I’m going to mix things up and focus on the character who would be this wave’s headliner if not for a certain Victor von Doom! Fantastic Four Legends The Thing is in-stock and shipping out now via online stores, and hopefully there will be enough to meet demand this time (as Ben is packed at two-per-case), because this ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing is a real winner of an action figure that every fan deserves a shot at!

REVIEW: 2020 Marvel Legends Fantastic Four Invisible Woman Figure

Fantastic Four Marvel Legends Invisible Woman Review

I kicked off my series of Marvel Legends 2020 reviews yesterday with Mr. Fantastic, and it only seems right that I continue along that track today with Reed’s wife so that he doesn’t get lonely: the Fantastic Four Marvel Legends Invisible Woman figure is now shipping out online! It seems like only yesterday the exclusive Walgreens Invisible Woman hit shelves, but it was actually 2017–has Hasbro found a way to make this Sue Storm a worthy addition to that classic version?

Marvel Legends 2020 Fantastic Four Mr. Fantastic Figure Review

Fantastic Four Legends Mr. Fantastic in Black Costume

Marvel Legends 2020 figures are finally starting to ship out via online retailers (and arrive in some brick and mortar stores), and as such I’m able to launch my first 2020 Marvel Legends review today at last! And what better place to begin than with the leader of Marvel’s first family: the Fantastic Four Marvel Legends Mr. Fantastic figure is shipping out now online—if you already have the Walgreens version, does this new iteration of Reed Richards have anything to offer?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter 6″ Figure

Marvel Legends 2019 Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter Figure Review

I hoped to kick off my 2020 reviews with an actual Marvel Legends 2020 figure review, but I was foiled by the fact that, well… I haven’t received any of the 2020 Marvel Legends figures I ordered yet. Alas! And so, for my first review of the new decade, I’ve got to dip into my cache of unreviewed action figures from the last decade. The Hasbro Marvel Legends Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter figure is discounted to just 12 bucks now and is the first 6” Julia since Toybiz did theirs 13 years ago—has Hasbro outdone their ML predecessor this time out?

Avengers Marvel Legends Loki Figure Review & Photos (Endgame Hulk Series)

Close-Up of Marvel Legends Avengers Hulk Series Loki Action Figure

From Tom Hiddleston Loki to female Loki to Toybiz’s Loki, there have been a fair number of 6” Marvel Legends Loki figures released over the last 13 years. But weirdly enough, one God of Mischief action figure we’ve never gotten before in ML scale is the classic Jack Kirby Loki! But hey, what better time for Hasbro to release one than simultaneously with the classic Thor in the 80th Anniversary series, right? Even so, the classic Avengers Legends Loki is selling for a mere 11 bucks shipped already online—should you get one while he’s nearly half-price…?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Rescue Pepper Potts Figure (Avengers Endgame)

Posted on by December 27, 2019
Avengers Endgame Marvel Legends Rescue Figure Review

Avengers Endgame is the highest-grossing movie of all-time and was subject to a near-unparalleled level of interest prior to its release—but some how, some way, Marvel Studios managed to keep many of the film’s secrets from being spoiled for the general public. One of those secrets happened to be that Pepper Potts would don her own designated armor in the final battle. But the secret wasn’t kept from Hasbro, who had a Rescue figure ready to launch right after the movie! Despite still being available online at a discount, Marvel Legends Rescue Pepper Potts is easily the most popular figure in this wave—is it with good reason?

REVIEW: Avengers Marvel Legends War Machine Endgame Figure

Marvel Legends 2019 War Machine Avengers Endgame Six Inch Action Figure Review

2019 was another year jam-packed with new Hasbro Marvel Legends MCU movie figures, with some amazing characters like Korg, the Collector, Luis and more getting their first-ever 6” action figures. But oddly enough, one of my absolute favorite ML movie figures of the year is of something that didn’t actually appear in a movie at all—the Marvel Legends Avengers Endgame War Machine figure! Even though this concept armor permutation wasn’t in Endgame, this toy is so good it seriously makes me wish that it had been…
