Close-Up of Marvel Legends X-Men Skullbuster Gun

Hasbro is going all-in with the Age of Apocalypse Marvel Legends X-Men 2020 series, which will be composed entirely of AoA versions of characters from the all-time classic comic book storyline.

Review Sideshow Juggernaut 1/4 Statue EX with Kitty Pryde

Yesterday I talked about an immense, hugely priced Marvel statue coming next year–the Iron Studios Sentinel. But today I’m posting my review of another monster of size, price and presence who’s finally arrived at my place!

Now that I’ve got him in-hand for a review and photos, was this behemoth worth the insane 1400+ smackers I paid for him…?
