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 LEGENDS ICONS " IRON MAN " GOLD VARIANT Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm an avid collector of Marvel Legends Icons 12" figures. Although the Iron Man figure is pretty impressive, there are some qualities that are missing. First, the positives: very detailed. Possibly the most detailed Iron Man action figure you can find. One reason why I only collect this series of figures. The only thing that can possibly top it in detail would be the actualy replica head of Iron Man or a statue bust but still you would not own the whole Iron Man. Extremely poseable. These figures are nicer than the DC Direct figure or Movie Masters DC figures because the latter two look more like dolls with clothy material and have less articulation. The gold color really makes it similar to the Iron Man in the movies but not exactly accurate. The head is somewhat disappointing because the face mask looks hideous. The effort to make it removeable so you can see Stark's face ruins the look of the face plate. Stark is not a man in superhero physical shape, however they might have made this figure somewhat too lanky and tall so it has a slight problem standing up by itself as opposed to more balanced and bulked figures like Wolverine or the Hulk (my favorite). Finally, the figure comes with nice repulsor rays that you can attach to the palms of his hands. However, and this what I don't understand, you can't bend his hands 90 degrees back with palms facing you because of the poor design of his wrist that locks any movement going to other way. That is so pointless given this is a common movement for Iron Man so he can attack his enemies with his repulsor rays. I can easily do this movement with my Wolverine figure so not sure what the deal is with Iron Man.

Marvel Legends Series 8 Modern Iron Man Action Figure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this figure when I ordered Iceman, and honestly my anticipation for recieving the figures was 95% from Iceman. However, once I opened the package and saw just how cool Iron Man was in person, I was elated. I am 100% satisfied with the appearance of this figure. I can't say enough good things about it. The base is nice, he stands well without it, the mask comes off, the suit is very cool.
The only small problem I had with Modern Iron Man was in his wrists. A small flap of plastic prevents his wrists from being able to properly pose his repulsors.
One small problem, however, doesn't prevent me from giving this figure a 5 out ouf 5.

Marvel Legends Sentinel Series Figure: Black Panther Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this figure. I got the Wonder-Man, which is basically just a head swap from this body, but much prefer my Black Panther. Why, you ask? Better motion in the articulation (no defects, perfect tightness), i like the purplish black paint job, i love the sculpt details (claws on fingers, "talons," on boots, face mask pull around nose.) He poses well, the cape is a great touch, and the included extra, the Sentinel part, is my favorite BAF yet, so no complaints there either. BP represents, y'all.

Marvel Legends Annihilus Series Build-A-Figureure Collection: Banshee Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hey Marvel Fans,
I know there are a lot of you out there who would easily dismiss this Banshee action figure. Lot's of people have complained about how is mouth is sculpted wide open, or he's dead, or he's not even a real X-Man. But give this figure a chance. I think we can all agree that Hasbro's first outing in the the world of Marvel Legends was less than spectacular but even Toy Biz had a learning curve to get over. His mouth is open because it directly relates to is sonic screaming power. True it would have been nice of he came included with an alternate non-screaming head, but beggers can't be choosers. As for Banshee not being a real X-Man, I'm afraid you nay-sayers have not taken the time to consider what a hero 'ol Irish was. Just go back and look at his hay-day during Cockrum, Byrne and Claremont's run on X-Men. Or more recently look to the Phalanx Covenant, or heck even read X-Men: Deadly Genesis. Banshee is nothing but a true hero that unfortunately spent many years in the dark because younger writer didn't know what to do with a late thirty to fourty something X-Man.
I am speaking with a slight bias being that I am an X-Men addict, but this guy really is a cool character. He was the only Legend of the new Hasbro wave that I actaully got excited about. He's worth the money and his cloth wings (which ARE detachable) really make him stand out. Until Xorn comes next wave this is the only new Legends figure worth a trip out to the store. Here's hoping that Hasbro makes a Thunderbird figure and we can finally have our "All Different, All New" 1970's X-Men team!

Diamond Select Marvel Select: Thing Action Figure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've waited a long time for this item and it was worth the wait. First it very heavy weighing well over 2 or 3 pound and nicely detailed. The only griped is that it do not come with the flying platform as pictured. It comes with a picture of the Fantastic Four on a card board with New York on the other side and a picture holder. The chest and rip cage do not stand out as pictured either. His torso is just all rocks with no clear muscle separation. Even though the pictured item is better than what you actually get, it's still worth the money.

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.
