Product Information

Seriously, I love this forehead blast beam. I do wish it was compatible with the calm and placid-looking head as well (I generally picture Viz as a less crazed-looking dude), but I’m glad DST included this treat at all. Folks seem to be pretty excited about this one, but I find it hard to find enthusiasm for any Iron Man figure made lately — especially when they’re based on the older MCU movies. MCU Bruce Banner There isn’t as much articulation as you’d get on a Hasbro Marvel Legends figure (that’s not DST’s jam), but I feel like all the points I really need are present, including:

The aggro head with teeth showing is not only unique and distinctive, but also features perhaps the easiest to lose accessory of all-time: a removable forehead gem that’s every bit as minuscule as you might think. That’s okay, though, because removing the gem allows a forehead blast effect to plug in that looks visually stunning! The joint construction and quality control is also tops. Every joint is tight but moves smoothly, and none of the plastic feels cheap or rubbery. Not familiar with this character, but that design all but demands a salute. It’s a shame the figure will end up costing so much due to its size. Crystar

It’s hard to put your finger on a precise or most recognizable appearance for this dark entity, but Hasbro has gone with the “crustacean” monster look for the character. This monstrous design works well, I think, and may help define a look for The Void if the character is ever revived in the comics. I’ve already got the Peter Parkers I want on my Spider-Man shelf. If I didn’t, though, then this would be a potential buy. Unfortunately, I’ve never liked Smythe’s design from the 90’s Spider-Man animated series — even when it’s done this well in plastic form. For example, you may see a Thor action figure with the likeness of actor Chris Hemsworth (who is noted for playing the God of Thunder across several live-action movies), but this is contrasted with a comic-accurate Wolverine, outfitted in his signature yellow costume. Hasbro Marvel Legends Helmets The only downside to this figure is that it’s not priced for army building. Just look at all those awesome accessories! Luke Cage Justice and Namorita will “sort of” complete the original 90s New Warriors lineup in 6” figures form, but not exactly. I think fans sort of expected Marvel Boy instead of Justice and white-skinned Namorita instead of blue-skinned.

Also, a huge thanks to TOYCOLLECTR for snapping some photos of this bizarre and wonderful figure that show just how cool the design is. Next up is a set of figures that’s sure to be a hit with us old folks who grew up with the 90’s X-Men Animated series — or anyone who likes great toys, for that matter. The Adventures in Collecting podcast and MCUcollector 24 give us our best look at some of the figures previously unseen (or “officially” unseen) Marvel Legends figures from the upcoming What If…? and Disney+ waves. There’s no cheaping out by Diamond Select here: from the Diamond on his chest to the angular boot-tops, all of the important details of Vision’s costume are fully sculpted and three-dimensional, not just painted on. The folds and wrinkles in the cape and Vision’s undies also give them a real feeling of being cloth. While I normally try to give a unique comment for each figure in a wave reveal, every one of X-Men ’97 figures carries the same analysis with a couple of exceptions:The colors, articulation and construction of this new Vision action figure are all top-notch—every Avengers fan who collects comic-based figures is going to want this Marvel Legends Vision. Speaking of that alternate head, let’s talk accessories: Vision Select includes a spread of almost a half-dozen worthwhile accessories, including interchangeable hands, an unusually expressive angry head and 3 different energy effects pieces (one of which attached to an alt hand). I normally don’t even cover Hasbro’s current 3.75″ Marvel offerings. In addition to most of them having only 5 points of articulation, they tend to be grossly overpriced. It’s also where resources are being directed instead of a super articulated 3.75″ line, which makes me grumpy.
