X-Men Marvel Legends Kid Omega Quentin Quire REVIEW (1012 Ch’od Series)

Posted on by June 6, 2023
Marvel Legends X-Force Kid Omega Figure Holding Psychic Shotgun

uentin Quire is likely my favorite comic book character to debut in the new millennium, so I was more than a little hyped to see the Grant Morrison-created rebellious young adult’s name being bandied about on rumored lists of upcoming X-Men Legends figures last year. The future Phoenix host and omega-level mutant has gained a lot of prominence and popularity over the years, and the time seemed ripe for his first action figure. Even so, the design of this Marvel Legends Kid Omega figure… probably wasn’t what many of QQ’s fans had in mind. But if you’re building the Ch’od BAF, you’ll need Kid Omega nonetheless. So let’s have a look at the pink-haired punk’s debut figure…

Amazon Marvel Legends Gladiator Hulk Box Front

Gladiator Hulk is unquestionably in the upper echelon of best Marvel Legends Build-A-Figures that Hasbro has ever done from a marketing perspective. As the highly hyped co-star of Thor Ragnarok, basically every MCU movie figure collector set their eyes on owning a Gladiator Hulk BAF from the film. But not every fan could or wanted to buy a whole $120 6-figure set for the armor-clad Jade Giant, and those collectors were left out in the cold—until now. With a new extra head and a few updated paints, the individually sold Amazon Exclusive Marvel Legends Gladiator Hulk is now up for pre-order!

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Astonishing X-Men Cyclops Figure (2023 Ch’od Series)

Posted on by June 1, 2023
X-Men Legends 2023 Cyclops and Emma Frost Astonishing X-Men Figures

Cyclops may not be an Omega-level mutant in the X-Men comics, but he’s unquestionably an Omega-level X-Men merch seller. Scott Summers sells likes wildfire every time Hasbro releases a 6” Marvel Legends figure of him in any of his closet of costumes, so it’s not shocking that Hasbro is revisiting a popular costume they first released over a decade and a half ago. X-Men Legends Astonishing Cyclops is now arriving. Does this new version surpass the one from the Brood Queen series?

Marvel Legends West Coast Avengers Figures 5-Pack

West Coast Avengers was a fresh and exciting concept in 1984 before there had been more Avengers off-shoot teams and comic book series than anyone can count. Fans still remember the original WCA comics fondly—which is why Hasbro is celebrating the team’s legacy by opening pre-orders for a new Amazon Exclusive Marvel Legends West Coast Avengers box set! who’s included, and how many of the figures in this 5-pack are ones fans are clamoring for…?

Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy 3 Mantis Hasbro Figure vs Adam Warlock

Mantis was a controversial choice to be the Build-A-Figure way back in the Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 series six years ago, but in the 2023 Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Cosmo wave, Mantis finally gets the single-packed shelf presence at retail that she deserves. Is the new GOTG Legends Mantis figure worth adding to your team roster…?

KRAGLIN Marvel Legends REVIEW (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Figures Cosmo Series)

Posted on by May 18, 2023

Kraglin is the sort of character that—played by James Gunn’s brother or not—I’d have insisted anyone who said we’d ever see on retail store shelves was lying. But 9 years later, here we are—and here Marvel Legends Kraglin is on the pegs at Target. Kraglin is also available shipping from online retailers now—is this fourth most famous Ravager worth ordering for yourself?

Dark Phoenix Legends Figure Paint Wash Hair Eyes Shading

It may seem like just yesterday that the Toys R Us Exclusive Marvel Legends Dark Phoenix & Cyclops two-pack was in stores, but it was actually six long years (and one Toys R Us bankruptcy) ago. Prices for those figures long ago went wild on the aftermarket, and many fans were left without perhaps the most iconic Marvel female villain of all in their collections. But Hasbro heard the cries and responded, and now the Marvel Legends Dark Phoenix Retro figure is shipping out at a fraction of the price of the original’s aftermarket. But is this updated Jean Grey an upgrade…?

GOTG Marvel Legends Classic Yondu Comic Figure

Hasbro is taking the slow approach to building the classic Guardians of the Galaxy team in Marvel Legends 6” figure form. Six years after Vance Astro made the scene in the 2017 Titus Series, he’s finally getting some backup this year in the form of a Target Exclusive Yondu figure! Is the long-awaited classic archer worth adding to your ranks? Here’s my review of the newly released Yondu…

Marvel Legends Spiral REVIEW (X-Men Legends Retro Series 2023)

Spiral Marvel Legends 2023 Figure Review Close-Up

Spiral is one of those characters I could have happily gone my whole life without buying an action figure of… if she hadn’t been a playable character in the Marvel vs. Capcom video game series. Playing a few minutes of her as a mediocre character there did what decades of comic book appearances as Mojo’s lackey did not, and I knew I’d eventually indulge in a toy of her. I missed the first Target exclusive version 16 years ago, but the six-armed sorceress is back again as part of this year’s X-Men Marvel Legends Retro series! The 2023 Marvel Legends Spiral figure is shipping now—should you scoop her up in all her many-limbed glory?

This is a rare character debuting in Marvel Select form prior to Marvel Legends. Is this unique Skrull dynamic enough to earn a spot in your collection? Here’s my review…

X-Men Marvel Legends Longshot Retro Series Figure Review (Hasbro 2023)

Posted on by March 5, 2023
Longshot Marvel Legends Hasbro Featured Image

ot is one of those classic X-Men characters that you can count on showing up every few years in a supporting role (most often in some rehashed Mojo plotline), hanging around for a short tenure and then slinking back into his off-page status quo. I don’t mind Longshot’s guest appearances, but I’ve long since given up on any lasting character development or changes to him. But even so, it’s been 17 years since Toybiz made their version of ML Longshot, so I was happy to smash the pre-order button when the Hasbro Marvel Legends 2023 Longshot went up for order. Was it a lucky purchase? Here’s my review…
