Super Battle Droid (Clone Wars)

Super Battle Droid (Clone Wars)

The Geonosian-made Super Battle Droids were something of a surprise back when Episode II came out, being tougher and more ruthless than their cheaper cousins. They were also much less memorable because they absolutely lacked any hint of a personality.

Radiation Rocket Leader (Avengers Assemble)

Most of the pieces in Radiation Rocket Leader actually come from the Skrull Warrior mold we got in the comic-inspired segment of figures from the Avengers line

Darth Maul (Black Series)

Darth Maul (Black Series)

Darth Maul was the character people was really excited about back when the Star Wars 6 inch Black Series was announced although, Was it mostly hype? Or does the figure actually merit the amount of scalping going on? Well, read for my impressions on these subjects and more.

Classic Captain America

Classic Captain America

Hasbro has had quite a large number of Captain America action figures made in recent years and even though I did pick up a fair share of them, my collection still lacked a classic version of him until the release of Marvel Universe Series 5.

Luke Skywalker X-Wing Pilot (Black Series)

Luke Skywalker X-Wing Pilot (Black Series)

To be honest, one of the figures I was less excited about from Hasbro’s Star Wars Black Series was precisely this version of Luke Skywalker in his X-Wing pilot uniform.

Hasbro released this Iron Spider mold a few years ago in Marvel Universe Series 2, but re-released it in 2013 as part of Series 5, which is the one I got.

R2-D2 (Black Series)

R2-D2 (Black Series)

When I learned about the sightings of the first wave of 6-inch Star Wars Black Series in my city, I was reluctant at first but after a little pondering, my intention shifted from getting just the one Sandtrooper to maybe picking up the R2-D2.

Iron Man (Zero Gravity Armor)

Iron Man (Zero Gravity Armor)

Essentially, this Zero-G suit is a repaint of the Modular Armor version released back in Series 3, which I think is one of the best Iron Man armors released in the Marvel Universe line.

Abomination

Abomination

I have to say that I had no knowledge of Abomination prior to the second Hulk movie, from a couple of years ago. I am aware that there were action figures based on the movie designs at the time, but as a whole, the associated toy line was a big pass for me.

She-Hulk

She-Hulk

She-Hulk was one of the figures I was most curious about when Hasbro announced her inclusion in Marvel Universe Series 4. Of course, distribution being what it is, she was part of the wave of figures I never saw at local retail.

Doc Samson

Doc Samson

Well, in my Gray Hulk review I mentioned that at some point in his story, Bruce Banner had a split personality disorder. Well, guess who diagnosed him with that? Why, none other than the subject of today’s review, Dr. Leonard Samson.

Gray Hulk

Gray Hulk

One thing I did not know was that Hulk used to be gray back in his first comic book appearance, but apparently this caused problems in the printing process, so he had to be changed to green.

Artillery Armor War Machine

Artillery Armor War Machine

In a toy line ripe with repaints of the same few action figure molds, it is something of a surprise that War Machine did not get as many different versions as the Iron Man Mark IV and VI armors had.

Quinlan Vos (CW36)

Quinlan Vos (CW36)

I never quite got Quinlan Vos. He seems derivative of so many other characters from the Star Wars Expanded Universe, but that doesn’t seem to prevent him from being made into action figures over and over.

Undead Geonosian

Undead Geonosian

Hasbro released the Undead Geonosian I’m reviewing today late in 2010, and the figure was inspired by the Legacy Of Terror episode that aired about midway of the second season of the show.
