Armored Spider-Man

Armored Spider-Man

Apparently, Spider-Man has become one of those superheroes that genuinely can boast of a plethora of suits for every occasion.

The updated Punisher is built using the new male medium body we’ve gotten with characters like Blue Team Cyclops, Mysterio and Classic Captain America.

News Covered in this Episode

Groot

Groot

For me, one of the things that made this Groot figure so attractive is the fact that it can be used to serve a wide number of roles, either as a generic Ent, a Forest Elemental or simply as a really big Groot to go along my Marvel Universe figures.

Star-Lord

Star-Lord

To round up the reviews for the regular figures from Hasbro’s Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Legends Infinite Series, today I bring you none other than the main hero, the infamous (in his own mind, at least): Star-Lord!

Gamora

Gamora

Gamora is yet another action figure based on the movie design seen in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

Rocket Raccoon

Rocket Raccoon

One thing from the Guardians of the Galaxy movie trailer that really struck me as completely bizarre was seeing the CGI Rocket Raccoon being such a bad-ass. Right there I knew that Hasbro had to make toys of that character and that I would buy them, no questions asked.

Iron Man (Deep Space Armor)

Iron Man (Deep Space Armor)

The very first figure I bought from the Guardians of the Galaxy assortment in the Marvel Legends Infinite Series was actually not in the movie at all. It was none other than Iron Man in his Deep Space Armor.

Nova (Marvel Legends)

Nova (Marvel Legends)

Since I had already decided that I wanted the Groot BAF, I went on and bought Nova, even though I did not expect the figure to be as good as it turned out to be.

Sabretooth (Marvel Legends)

Sabretooth (Marvel Legends)

This version of X-Men baddie Sabretooth is another of those based off the Hyperion body mold, which is suitably bulky and tall. Sabretooth is massively muscular, and this particular version of his costume lacks any of the furry bits usually associated with the character.

Astonishing Wolverine (Marvel Legends)

Astonishing Wolverine (Marvel Legends)

Some time ago, I reviewed the Wolverine action figure released in the Hit Monkey wave of figures from Hasbro’s Marvel Legends line.

Astonishing Cyclops (Marvel Legends)

Astonishing Cyclops (Marvel Legends)

The more recent Astonishing Cyclops uses the same basic body mold developed for Archangel and a variety of characters with similar physiques.

Beetle

Beetle

Beetle would probably be one of the most striking characters included in the Marvel Legends Infinite Series by Hasbro.

Captain America (World War 2 Uniform)

Captain America (World War 2 Uniform)

I remember that when I saw the first wave of figures in the Marvel Legends Infinite Series for the Captain America: The Winter Soldier movie, I thought that Hasbro had made a mistake including the version of Captain America in his WWII uniform.

A.I.M. Scientist

A.I.M. Scientist

Of course, you can tell this AIM Scientist does not appear in the film just by looking at the decidedly comic book-inspired design.

Ultimate Goblin

Ultimate Goblin

Well, after getting all of the figures in the Spider-Man Marvel Legends Infinite Series, I ended up with more than enough pieces to build the Build-A-Figure, which is none other than the Ultimate’s version of the Green Goblin.

Toxin

Toxin

Toxin is another of those characters I knew almost nothing about prior to buying the figure. In fact, just by the look of him, I had assumed he was yet another Spider-Man foe, but as it turns out, he is actually one of the good guys despite his rather monstrous visage.

Spider-Girl

Spider-Girl

Spider-Girl is one of those characters I really know nothing about, but the visual aspect of the figure was enough of an encouragement for me to pick it up on sight.

Hydra Soldier (Marvel Legends Infinite Series)

Hydra Soldier (Marvel Legends Infinite Series)

Although Hydra, the criminal organization, is featured prominently in the second Captain America movie, truth is we don’t get to see them attired in an identifiably Hydra uniform.
