Spider-Man Marvel Legends CHASM Retro Series Figure REVIEW (Hasbro 2023)

Posted on by July 31, 2023
Review Chasm Marvel Legends 2023 Hasbro Action Figure

Sometimes, prominent classic characters like Mephisto and Madelyne Pryor never make it into Marvel Legends figure production at all after decades of requests from fans. And sometimes, we get characters like the demented post-psychoactive goo villainous clone of Spider-Man as toys less than a year and a half after his first appearance. Fair or unfair, the Retro Spider-Man Marvel Legends Chasm figure has started shipping out—is this crazed, mutated Ben Reilly worth adding to your Spidey villains shelf?

X-Men 97 Rogue Figure Hasbro Epic Hero

It’s taken a few… decades… but the continuation of the legendary X-Men The Animated Series (sometimes affectionately referred to as X-Men ‘92) is finally almost upon us (sort of)! There was still no firm premiere date announced at SDCC 2023, but at least we know the series will arrive in the near-ish future. And new show means new toys! In fact, the first X-Men 97 toys have already started shipping, including this 4” X-Men 97 Epic Hero Series Rogue figure I ordered to review…

Hasbro Marvel Knights Legends 2023 Mindless One Figure Series Blade Iron Man Luke Cage

Hasbro has revealed and released such a steady stream of 6” Marvel Legends figures throughout the year so far that with the upcoming Disney+ wave having already leaked, I wasn’t certain they’d have many surprises left to show at SDCC 2023. But Hasbro actually did have quite a few cards left in reserve—including an all-star comics-centric wave with an army-builder Build-A-Figure! The Marvel Legends Marvel Knights Mindless Ones BAF Series is now up for order, including Blade, Marvel Suns Iron Man, classic Luke Cage and more!

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Chamber & Monet Generation X Figures (Ch’od Wave)

Posted on by July 10, 2023
X-men Legends Chamber and M Figures Review

New Mutants is my lifelong favorite team comic book, so I was all-in for its successor, Generation X, when it launched in 1994. But Toybiz’s Generation X figure line flopped and was cancelled before Toybiz put out half the team—and Gen X merch has felt like it’s seemingly on some sort of radioactive list since. But finally, 20+ years into the run of Marvel Legends, official toys of Chamber and Monet St. Croix (M) have now been released! Are these X-Men Legends figures worth the decades fans have waited for them?

REVIEW: Marvel Select Iceman Figure (Diamond Select Toys X-Men)

Posted on by June 30, 2023
DST Iceman Select 7" Action Figure X-Men 2023

Iceman is an original member of the X-Men, X-Factor and the Champions, but I’ve always felt a little let down by both his comic book character development and also his action figures. But now, Diamond Select Toys has released an all-new Marvel Select Iceman figure with lots of bells and whistles. Is this an essential toy of Bobby Drake, or does Hasbro still boast the best Iceman action figure in the land?

X-Men Marvel Legends CH’OD Build-A-Figure (BAF) REVIEW

Posted on by June 26, 2023
Ch'od & Cr'reee Pet Starjammers Hasbro X-Men Marvel Legends Figures

Ch’od isn’t exactly a household name, and his immense size and bulk further stacked the deck against him ever getting a 6” figure release. Luckily, we are in a golden age of Marvel and X-Men toys, and most of the tooling to build the Starjammers’ powerhouse already existed. And so, collectors can now complete the Marvel Legends Ch’od Build-A-Figure by purchasing this year’s X-Men wave. Should they?

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

Posted on by June 20, 2023
2023 Marvel Legends Corsair & Ch'od Figures

Corsair is a character I kind of got off on the wrong foot with, as my earliest memories of him are me as a kid shoving aside piles of his 90s Toybiz X-Men figure while searching for the (stupidly shortpacked) first Phoenix/Jean Grey figure ever. I never bought that vintage Corsair, and never had much desire to own a toy of him. But Hasbro decided I’d need to buy Marvel Legends Corsair to complete the Ch’od Build-A-Figure (who’s already been discounted on Amazon), so here he is! Is this a definitive toy of the Summers family patriarch? Here’s my review…
