Marvel Legends Walgreen’s Punisher

Marvel Legends Walgreen’s Punisher

Truth be told. I should have wrote this before I opened the One:12 Collective Punisher. I didn’t. I’m sorry for that, because they are the same scale there I want to compare them. Which really isn’t fair since there is a 3x price differential.  What I do like about this figure is that it is […]

Iron Spider vs Electro

Iron Spider vs Electro

I was shopping for groceries the other day when a bright flash of color caught my eye behind the counter. It was the Iron Spider vs Electro 2-pack from the Playskool Marvel superheroes line by Hasbro.

Deadpool (Marvel Super Hero Mashers)

Deadpool (Marvel Super Hero Mashers)

The Marvel super Hero Mashers line has to be one of the weirdest concepts Hasbro has put out there in quite a while. The idea of mixing and matching pieces from several of the more iconic Marvel superheroes to form a hybrid is one that at first sight may appeal mostly to the youngest of children.

Deadpool Should be rated…?

Deadpool Should be rated…?

I’ve been laughing at all the memes going around about folks wanting Deadpool to have a PG-13 version. I was hanging in there with the comics crowd who were applauding the decision to make it rated R. I get it. They want violence. They want swearing. They want their hero to be the deadly smart […]

Gamora

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.

Drax the Destroyer (Marvel Legends)

Drax the Destroyer (Marvel Legends)

Drax the Destroyer may still not be a household name, even after the success of the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, but at the very least his action figure turned out to be quite great.

Beetle

Beetle

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

Hulk & Thor (Playskool Heroes)

Hulk & Thor (Playskool Heroes)

As I have repeated several times, some character designs work well within the Playskool format, while others don’t really lend themselves to the conversion, and in this set we get to see an example of each.

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.

Iron Man & War Machine (Playskool Heroes)

Iron Man & War Machine (Playskool Heroes)

And for something slightly different, today I’ll be reviewing a couple of Playskool action figures: The Iron Man & War Machine set that was released early in 2014

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.

Black Cat

Black Cat

Black Cat comes with the Urban Sirens moniker printed on her package, since she has a swap-out Spider-Girl variant and both characters ship in identical boxes.

Superior Spider-Man

Superior Spider-Man

The figure I am reviewing today comes from the Marvel Legends Infinite Series assortment dedicated to promote the second Amazing Spider-Man movie, although this particular version of the wall-climber has nothing to do with the movie itself.

Marvel Now! Captain America

Marvel Now! Captain America

The figure is a completely new sculpture, and even though this uniform does not appear in the actual movie, the sculptor at Hasbro still wanted to go for a more plausible look by incorporating a lot of details and textures into the mix.

Boomerang

Boomerang

Boomerang was released as part of the Marvel Legends assortment scheduled to promote the second Amazing Spider-Man movie released in 2014.

Phoenix Bow Hawkeye (Avengers Assemble)

Phoenix Bow Hawkeye (Avengers Assemble)

Well, I found a few of the Avengers Assemble figures at the gift shop area of a local restaurant last week, and while I was waiting to be seated I decided to buy the SHIIELD Gear version of Marvel’s resident archer, Hawkeye.

And The Winner Is….

And The Winner Is….

Well. It’s all over. You have voted and the winner is…Superman. I’m not really surprised, but I really thought Batman was going to win this one. It was close, for the longest time it was deadlocked at 50/50. Just a testament to the fans of both heroes. In retrospect, I’m glad to see Supes on […]

Iron Man Mk.VI (Movie Series)

Iron Man Mk.VI (Movie Series)

One thing you can’t help but notice is that a couple of the 6-inch scale figures in The Avengers Movie Series by Hasbro are actually molds that had been used for a previous movie line.
