Absorbing Man

  Well, to be honest, I kind of bought this guy by mistake. At some point, after getting the Wrecker figure, I kind of got the whim to hunt down and collect the rest of the Wrecking Crew and since Absorbing... 

Astonishing Beast

  It’s been quite a while since I picked up an X-Men comic book, so when images of the more recent Beast action figure started appearing online, I was rather puzzled by his appearance.   A... 

X-23

  X-23 was sort of a big deal back when she was released as part of Marvel Universe Series 3, not only because she was a clone of the ever-popular Wolverine, but also because she was developed using... 

Wrecker

  One thing I noticed since I started playing the Facebook game Avengers Alliance, is a renewal of my interest for certain characters previously released in the Marvel Universe line by Hasbro that... 

Hulk

  Once upon a time, way back in the 80’s, I remember standing in line at a supermarket and perusing one of those magazines stores like to keep handy at the checkout. In there was an interview with... 

Marvel’s Jubilee

  Released as the 23th figure in Hasbro’s Marvel Universe Series 4, Marvel’s Jubilee is one of those rare comic book characters that actually show some aging, from her early teens to her now... 

Professor X

  Released as the 22th figure in Hasbro’s Marvel Universe Series 4, Professor X is a very interesting addition to the line for a couple of reasons.   First, this is fundamentally a G.I. Joe... 

Thor (Ages of Thunder)

This version of Thor comes from a series of comics set before his exile to Earth and the stories portray him in a rather unflattering light, as something of a bully with a quick temper and a penchant... 

Astonishing Wolverine

Other than Iron Man and Spiderman, the only other Marvel character that has had a comparable number of action figures made of, in recent years, has to be Wolverine. The figure I’m reviewing this evening... 

Cable

Cable is one of those Marvel characters I could not wait to see made as part of the Marvel Universe line. Was it worth the wait? Well, yes and no.   First I must admit that I have been a fan of Cable... 

Cyclops (Blue Team Uniform)

  Cyclops isn’t necessarily one of my favorite Marvel characters in terms of his personality, but the way he is depicted in media always seems to translate well into action figure form. There... 

Apocalypse

  Apocalypse is one of those X-Men villains that I never really knew what their deal was at the time I was reading X-Titles semi-regularly. The whole “Survival of the Fittest” angle seemed a... 

Skaar (Son of Hulk)

  After the events of the World War Hulk comics series, there were a few loose ends to the storyline left o be resolved back in the regular continuity of the titles involved. One of such loose end... 

Wolverine (X-Men Uniform)

  Even though there were no toy deals for the 2011 X-Men: First Class movie, I liked it so much that it rekindled my interest in anything X-Men related. What’s more, I even got around to pick up... 

Iron Man (Modular Armor)

Also known as Bleeding Edge Armor, this Iron Man comes to us as part of Series 3 of Hasbro’s Marvel Universe line.   At this point, there are quite a lot of Iron Man figures still clinging to the... 

Ghost Rider (Marvel Universe)

Ghost Rider has always had that seventies comic book feel to me. The lone motorcycle riding antihero who finds himself entangled with elements of the supernatural. To be a popular book in the seventies... 

World War Hulk

When images of the third figure in the third series of Marvel Universe action figures started to appear online last year, I knew that the World War Hulk would be one I had to add to my collection. ... 

Havok

One thing you’ll notice shortly after starting reading comics, is how much alike the storylines are when compared to soap operas. You get betrayals, long lost relatives, amnesia and people that just... 

Captain Britain

For some reason, I have always had a certain fascination with flag-costumed superheroes, and Marvel Comics is the only big publisher I know of that can blatantly rip-off the color scheme of any flag and... 

Archangel

One of the most sought after figures in Marvel Universe Series 2, Archangel was a Fan’s Choice winner in 2009. Archangel is based on the standard slim male body mold with a new head and some alterations...
