Marvel Legends ICONS Series 12 Inch Action Figure - The BEAST with Bonus of Exclusive "Evolution of an Icon" Book Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Dr. Henry "Hank" McCoy, otherwise known as the Beast of the X-Men, and resident super genius of the team makes the leap to the 12" Icons line and it works well. His sculpt is detailed and he's very massive.
This is the variant "lab coat" version and his coat actually looks really good considering that Marvel Legends don't normally do the whole clothing thing. His color is also the perfect shade of blue. For some reason the alternate, non-variant version is grey (EDIT - apparantly Beast was originally grey but much like the Hulk ended up changing to a more vibrant color). That and the addition of the coat and glasses make the variant better overall to me.
He is easy to stand since he has huge feet. While he does sport the usual tons of articulation this line is know for it's not all useful all the time. I did end up with one wonky shoulder joint too but at least it is hidden under the coat.
I was unable to remove the coat of mine but I have seen pictures of these with the coat off so I guess it is possible. I just didn't want to tear mine trying and it really does look good on him. Kind of like he's pissed because some bad guy, let's just say Mr. Sinister, interrupted a science experiment. He also wears glasses that look good but are glued into place so not normally removable.
He is a solid value at $15 - $17 which is his local retail.

Marvel Legends Icons Series - Thor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an awesome figure! Fabric cape and good detail and size. A couple of small complaints, though. First, the wings on his helmet are going in the wrong direction; they don't flare ou to the sides. Second, on the back, they don't list all of his powers, such as energy projection, weather control, nor that he's immortal, like they did with the smaller Hercules figure. Still far better than the DC figures that have almost no articulation and have hard plastic capes. THOSE are cheesy. These are better than those Toy Biz pieces of [...] that were all the same size (despite the fact that Thor's much, much bigger than most characters) and the Hasbro figures don't look doll-like. Massively cool, if a little imperfect.

Marvel Select: Incredible Hulk Action Figure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I would like to say that this Marvel Select Hulk Figure is possibly the best representation of the Hulk ever cast in plastic. The savage look on his face and monstrous proportions bring this comic beast to life. I received this figure from Big Bad Toy Store (The best Amazon Merchant for collectibles) and couldn't be happier. There are 14 functional poa's on this figure. His elbows and knees are ball jointed and hinged. His hips are balljoints and his shoulders. His sheer size restricts his poseability, but hey.....it's the Hulk. This guy stands about 10" tall and probably weighs close to 2lbs!!! Solid painting rounds out the package. So if you are on the fence about this one, don't be afraid, snatch him up immediately.
