REVIEW: Marvel Legends Thor Love and Thunder Mighty Thor Jane Foster Figure (Korg Series)

Marvel Legends 2022 Natalie Portman Mighty Thor Figure Review

Say what you will about Natalie Portman’s performances in the Star Wars movies, but Padmé is one of my favorite female characters across all of Star Wars and one of my preferred actresses in general. So I was thrilled when Portman was cast as Jane Foster in the Thor movies, and elated to hear she’d be returning for Thor Love and Thunder. Somehow, Hasbro has never produced a Natalie Portman Jane Foster figure before in their 10+ years of producing MCU movie figures. But Portman’s time has come: Marvel Legends Mighty Thor is shipping now! Is this a worthy inaugural ML Natalie Portman?

REVIEW: Thor Love and Thunder Marvel Legends King Valkyrie Figure (2022 Hasbro)

Posted on by May 26, 2022
2022 Marvel Legends Korg Series King Valkyrie Figure Review

The MCU iteration of Valkyrie is a drastic departure from the main Marvel comic book version representation of that same character, but I think this is an instance where the mainstream movie iteration makes a traditionally mildly successful character worlds more popular and marketable. As such, it seems appropriate that MCU Valkyrie will now surpass her comics self in ML editions, as the new (and pretty great) Thor: Love and Thunder Marvel Legends King Valkyrie figure is now shipping out to fans…

Doctor Strange & America Chavez Hasbro 2021 Marvel Legends Figures

It’s no secret that Disney is subtly introducing the Young Avengers to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Kate Bishop Hawkeye, Patriot, Wiccan and Speed all debuting (to an extent) over the past year. And another core Young Avenger is premiering in the MCU and as a 6” super-articulated Hasbro figure this spring: the Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness Marvel Legends America Chavez figure is now available! Should she punch her way through the Multiverse and into your collection? Here’s my review…

Marvel Legends Korg BAF Parts Breakdown

It’s been a while since an entire major series of movie Marvel Legends figures managed to completely slip out and become public knowledge before Hasbro could even announce a singular figure from the lineup, but that’s exactly what happened this month with the latest MCU wave. Weeks prior to the scheduled pre-order, the entire Marvel Legends Thor Love and Thunder series leaked all over the internet. Hasbro hastily announced the set last week after the cat was out of the bag, and now the Thor Legends Korg Series is officially up for order!

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Wong Figure (Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Series)

Posted on by April 19, 2022
Review Marvel Legends Wong Six Inch Figure

If someone had told me a few years back that the day would come when Wong would be the most vital Marvel Cinematic Universe hero lacking a super-articulated figure, I’m not sure I would have believed them. But that day did come, and now it’s gone—because the Hasbro Marvel Legends Wong Figure is now shipping! Fans have been requesting a movie Wong Legends figures for six years now—is the first mass-release Wong figure ever worth your 20+ bucks?

Close-Up of Marvel Legends Rintrah BAF Head Doctor Strange 2 Movie

While fans may have reasonably hoped for an MCU Ancient One or even Kaecillius as the fourth movie character in this year’s Marvel Legends Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness series, Hasbro decided to go wild and crazy instead with a character new to the MCU in Doctor Strange 2: the headliner Rintrah Build-A-Figure that collectors will have to build the rest of the series to assemble! Is this fuzzy green minotaur-looking sorcerer worth your effort and investment to put together?

Marvel Legends Retro Hobgoblin Figure REVIEW (2022 Spider-Man Collection)

Posted on by March 26, 2022
Hobgoblin Marvel Legends 2022 Hasbro Figure Pumpkin Bomb Review

The 2022 Marvel Legends Spider-Man Retro Collection is chock full of “ultimate”, definitive-level 6” action figures. The subject of today’s review is not one of those figures, in my opinion. While there’s always plenty of fans excited and happy to buy a new Marvel Legends Hobgoblin figure, I’m not convinced that this 90s Spider-Man animated style Hobgoblin figure is hardly an upgrade over what we’ve seen previously at all…

Iron Studios Deadpool Statue REVIEW! (X-Men vs. Sentinels BDS Series)

Posted on by March 19, 2022
Iron StuDios Deadpool Statue Review 1:10 X-Men BDS

Deadpool was actually the very first character I ever bought a full-body resin statue for, way back in 2005 (from Bowen Designs). So you could say I was a Deadpool-collecting fanboy before Deadpool was cool—or at least since before he was gratuitously merchandised. As such, I was primed and ready to buy whatever Deadpool Iron Studios put out as soon as they announced it was on the way. Deadpool turns out to be one of the most expensive entries in the whole X-Men BDS statues lineup… but that doesn’t mean he’s necessarily one of the best…
