Marvel Legends Electro Review and Photos 2016

It’s been a pretty rough couple years for poor Electro. First there was the critically-maligned Electro character design from Amazing Spider-Man 2, then in the comics Electro lost control of his powers, accidentally murdered his girlfriend, lost his powers entirely, and then got killed himself by his resurrected girlfriend–the new female Electro.

Marvel Legends Vision Sam Wilson Kate Bishop 3 Pack Released

With hundreds of Marvel action figures getting released each year, sometimes a few fall through the cracks for a few days and then I don’t write a release blurb for them because I think it’s not really “news” anymore. But the dozens of readers writing in to me each day urging me to talk about the 2016 Target and Toys R Us Marvel Legends exclusives seem to think otherwise, so let’s take a look at this summer’s multi-packs…

Sandman Marvel Legends Hasbro Exclusive Figure

The Hasbro Toy Shop San Diego Comic-Con 2016 exclusives online sale came and went earlier this month–and to the surprise of everyone, the Marvel Legends The Raft set was easily available for hours without a hitch! If you missed it, don’t despair–there are plenty available of The Raft set on the aftermarket for around MSRP! Anyway, although most collectors who wanted The Raft have purchased it already, there’s one more figure from the set I want to review: Marvel Legends Sandman in his sand form!

While we saw well over a dozen new Marvel Legends 2017 figures at San Diego Comic-Con last month (some of which may arrive at the end of 2016), there’s still one full series of official 2016 figures on the way: the Marvel Legends Doctor Strange movie series!

Marvel Legends Doctor Strange Enchantress Figure Packaged

Last week when I reviewed the SDCC 2016 Marvel Legends Enchantress figure, I bemoaned the fact that the anticipated and oft-rumored single-packaged Enchantress figure wasn’t announced for the Marvel Legends Doctor Strange Series during the show. Well, it looks like we just had to be patient and wait for all of those box sets to be sold, because hot on the heels of The Raft selling out online, Enchantress and Astral Form Doctor Strange Marvel Legends figures have been revealed!

Today is the big day that Hasbro will be selling the remainder of their SDCC 2016 exclusives stock online, so what better day to look at another heavy-hitter from the SDCC Marvel Legends The Raft set than today, right? I expected him to be one of the most sought-after figures from the set on the aftermarket, but the Marvel Legends Abomination is actually one of the least expensive figures from the set! Is the lack of interest in this Abomination figure justified…?

Close-Up of Dreadknight Marvel Legends Six Inch Figure

Marvel Legends San Diego Comic-Con exclusive sets are famous for bringing us some off-the-wall characters that we’d likely never see at mass retail, and I think that’s epitomized by the subject of today’s review: Marvel Legends Dreadknight! While Dreadknight is actually selling for surprisingly cheap on the aftermarket, he surpasses the Enchantress as my favorite figure in the con exclusive set this year…
