Review: Marvel Comics - Marvel Legends Build-a-Figure Super Skrull (2020)

 The Super Skrull, again, not familiar with these characters but I do like the designs. It has a very classic look to it and I love it! When this was revealed I wasn't all that excited due to the fact that I know very little when it comes to Marvel's comics, I'm super familiar with the movies though!

Review: Fantastic 4 - Marvel Legends Doctor Doom (Super Skrull Wave)

 This is the best figure in the wave, seriously, I was looking forward to this one as soon as it was announced despite me knowing next to nothing about the character. I did watch Fantastic Four (2005) with Chris Evans as the Human Torch and he was the main villain for that one. He looked okay, but he's always looked better in his comic form, more specifically, his updated look with the evil looking helmet, not the Iron Man, old-school robot looking one. Let's get to it!

Review: Fantastic 4 - Marvel Legends Invisible Woman & Human Torch (Super Skrull Wave 2020)

There's a video out for this, if you want to check that out click right here! I got Invisible Woman through Amazon since I had pre-ordered her ahead of time. I found the Human Torch and Doctor Doom at Wal-Mart later that weekend, so last weekend, I mean, the one before this most recent one. So far, I'm very pleased because it's the first time I have all fantastic four as a team. I would have preferred to have the classic costumes, the Walgreens ones, but this will do. Let's get to it.

Review: Fantastic Four - Marvel Legends Mr. Fantastic & The Thing (Super Skrull Wave)

The first wave of the year! Finally I have the Thing and Mr. Fantastic, although not in the form that I'd like but this will do! I've been waiting for this wave for a while now and since I really liked Captain Marvel and the Skrulls I've wanted a comic version of the Skrulls for my collection. I pre-ordered these as soon as possible and they were supposed to be released next month but these showed up early. If you don't follow me on instagram, go there @loveymush. Let's get to it!

Review: Avengers: Endgame (2019) - Marvel Legends Iron Man Mark LXXXV (85) (Endgame Thor Wave)

 Now time to go back to reviews! Sorry it's been busy busy and burned out I have been. Here's the Mark 85 Iron Man from the third Endgame wave for the Marvel Legend figures this year. I had been waiting for this one for a while and there are things I like about it and things I think could have been done a lot better. It's December and we're getting closer and closer to the end of the year, Endgame has been in and out of theaters, in DVD, on digital, and on Disney + for a while at this point so I'm pretty sure most people watching this have already watched Endgame. Let's get to the review!

Review: Avengers: Endgame - Marvel Legends Iron Patriot/War Machine Mark 006 (Endgame Thor Wave)

 Finally we have a proper War Machine, or more accurately, Iron Patriot. I do wish they had released the Mark 004 and Mark 006 (even the 005 would have been nice) but it's okay. This one appeared at the very end of the film once Ant-Man escapes from the rubble along with Hulk, Rocket, and Rhodey. While this character was previously released in the second Endgame wave (Smark Hulk), it wasn't accurate to the film, it was based on concept art for War Machine. It does use some pieces but for the most part it's pretty new. Let's get to it!

Review: Avengers: Endgame (2019) - Marvel Legends Valkyrie (Endgame Thor Wave)

Time for another newer figure! This one for a character that appeared in the film and one that wasn't a re-use from another figure. It's Valkyrie which is something that was previously released as a character but not a figure. She appeared as a part of the Ragnarok 2-pack with her Sakaaran scavenger gear, unfortunately she wasn't released in this uniform which is a shame but we finally get one! I just wish she came with two heads... more on that later. Also, technically her name is Brunnhilde, and she is a Valkyrie, so this is her Valkyrie uniform.

Review: Thor: Ragnarok (2017)/Avengers: Infinity War (2018) - Marvel Legends Heimdall (Endgame Thor Wave)

Heimdall is a pretty cool character and Marvel Legends needed to have him in figure form since the first Thor movie came out. It's a shame it took this long for this character to get a figure, what is funny to me is that Hofund, his sword, was in Marvel Legends scale before this figure debuted. We'll get to that in a little bit. This figure is based on his appearance in Thor: Ragnarok, it doesn't matter what the box says since the only bit of him we see of him in Avengers: Infinity War is where he uses the Bifrost to send the Hulk back to earth, and then he is impaled by Thanos. He's one of the few newer figures, one that should have been with previous releases. I would have honestly favored him over the Grandmaster in the Ragnarok 2-pack with Korg. This slot could have gone to someone else.

Review: Captain America: Civil War (2016) - Marvel Legends (Phasing) Vision (Endgame Thor Wave)

 This is another figure we didn't really need. However for those who missed out on the Toys R Us exclusive 2-pack with Vision and Scarlet Witch this is a good way to get him. He is different than that one and I'll get into that later. This would have been a much better spot for so many other figures in the movie especially those with Endgame specific looks and to use that slot for a figure that didn't even appear in the film... is eh. Let's get to it!

Review: Avengers: Endgame (2019) /Avengers (2012) - Marvel Legends Captain America (Endgame Thor BAF)

I've had this set since mid-October and I've had a bit of a burnout considering how many other things I've been doing. I work 6 days a week and almost all day and don't get home until late at night. My weekends are also busy, thankfully I found some time this past weekend to move some stuff around and I also took some pictures of the newest wave from the Avengers: Endgame (2019) figures. Since they're a nice variety of characters than can represent a lot of different movies I'll do them separately this time around. The first of the bunch (which is an all MCU wave) being this Captain America from his appearance in the first Avengers film (which I can rewatch since I have access to Disney+) or where they go back in time to get the stones and future Cap fights younger Cap for Loki's staff. I have a couple problems with this figure... and I kinda like it for some weird strange reason.

Review: Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) - Spider-Man & Iron Man Mark

This is the last of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man figures, actually, there's the Iron Spider from the Infinity War 80th Anniversary 2-pack so, second to last! I first saw this at a TJ Maxx a couple years ago for about $20 and... I didn't get it, and I have regretted it ever since. This was on Amazon for about $40 bucks and I didn't get it, then after Spider-Man: Far From Home the price went up to $60 so I wasn't getting it. I almost caved until comradd_figsrus from instagram had some items on sale. He was selling this set, the War Machine 2-Pack, and a Dormammu wave MCU Doctor Strange, all for $140 which honestly is a pretty good deal in my opinion, especially with that Doctor Strange. Payment was easy and shipping was fast so I was incredibly pleased.

Review: The Incredible Hulk - Marvel Legends Vintage Series Hulk San Diego Comic Con Exclusive

This was yet another item that I got through Hasbro Pulse, The Incredible Hulk! Which was a San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive that was available online in limited quantities. I did get the membership for $50 but ultimately it was worth it since I got a total of 5 items through them. The Marvel Exclusives were set to be sold on the 28th, I only managed to get the Collector and the Grandmaster 2-pack the first day and this one sold out before I could checkout. The following day, this was supposed to be out by 12:00, I tried to refresh the page for hours and almost gave up but once it was around 1:15-ish it was live and it was go time! I should have gotten two... either way I'm happy I got it, I do have the 80th Anniversary 2-pack one but this one has its own charm that we'll go over in a bit.

Review: Marvel Comics - Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Captain America

Captain America, the super soldier! When I saw the prototype for this figure I was so excited, it looked like a brand new sculpted figure and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. A great representation of the classic Captain America look. I don't have many comic caps, the only other one I have is the one from the Vintage Series with that nice right blue color that doesn't really go with Cap since it doesn't really match the flags colors. There are some issues I have with this figure though, I'll go over that in a little bit.

Review: Marvel Comics - Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Iron Man

This Iron Man is a fantastic representation of what I think of when I think about Iron Man. The classic design of the Red and Gold body with the [-_-] face. I was excited because the two Iron Man armors I owned were the Vintage Series Model 9 Iron Man and the Model 51 Iron Man from the Okoye Build-a-Figure wave. The one from the Vintage Series was just so outdated that it didn't fit with the rest of the current Marvel Legends figures, and those hips were terrible! I was excited that there would be another one and it looks amazing! Such an improvement from the previous ones.

Review: Marvel Comics - Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary The Mighty Thor

The 80th Anniversary line is going strong and they gave us plenty of amazing figures. One of the ones I was most excited for were the big three: Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America. I was most excited about Thor since I didn't have a comic Thor to go with my other comic Avenger figures so this was my change. I did see the other comic Thors that were previously released and I wasn't too impressed. He was the first one I found at a Target a couple months ago and I got him asap! He was the only one and it wasn't until a couple weeks later that he started to show up in stores. Let's take a look at this figure.

Review: Captain Marvel (2019) - Marvel Legends Wal-Mart Exclusive Binary Captain Marvel

So, Binary Captain Marvel, a little late are we? Seriously, this figure has been out since the first half of the year, I would say since before the film came out. There was an online release back in June, and the weekend of my birthday but I missed it because I was busy and didn't check the site! Darn, so I missed out on it. Then in July it was showing up in stores near me as limited stock but that was all lies! Then I missed the 2nd online release, the only things available were the overseas from Hong Kong with the $18-$20 shipping, making the total price about $40. There were rumors that she would be released around August. I made it all the way to August but I just couldn't take it anymore so I caved and bought a Hong Kong one from eBay... only to find out there were sightings of the figure inside the U.S. a couple hours after I had already bought one for almost half the price! Needless to say, I was disappointed. I still didn't see this figure in person (in stores) until September 3rd and I bought two more, the one time I saw the figure in "person" was at a Wal-Mart roughly 20 minutes away from my house. That one had the Binary box but the Target Starforce Captain Marvel figure swapped. Initially I didn't notice, but then I realized that a Target exclusive figure wouldn't be in a Wal-Mart, so I got upset again, such is life let's see if it was worth the wait.

Review: Avengers: Endgame (2019) - ZD Toys/Ami Toys Hulk (Purple Jumpsuit)

There was a Chinese company that made Endgame toys called ZD Toys or Ami Toys and they're okay. They look like bootlegs especially because of the paint applications but they're third party I suppose. They released a Thanos that seems to have a stolen S.H. Figuarts sculpt, it does come with a movie accurate sword and removable helmet. Most of the other figures aren't much to write home about, they seem to have a Marvel Legends like base, however they did come out with this Hulk with his purple jumpsuit. While the BAF Hulk we got was neat, he wasn't in the clothes everyone wanted, either the purple jumpsuit or the team suit. We do have a couple great figures coming out for the Endgame Hulk in his purple jumpsuit from Tamashii in October and Diamond Select in January of next year. I couldn't wait that long and I saw that someone put the BAF Hulk head on this and it looked great so I decided to get one, and it's not so bad but it does have a couple issues, which is expected.

Review: Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) - Hasbro Target Exclusive Marvel Legends Spider-Man (School Jacket) // Marvel's MJ 2-Pack

More Spider-Man stuff, seriously, I love me some Spider-Man and especially if they use the classic design or just keep the overall look. Spider-Man: Homecoming made me love the webhead all over again. When this two pack was announced I didn't pre-order it because I've been spending too much and I figured I'd find this eventually so I'd buy it then. Once he was released I didn't see any trace of him. I did find him once about a month or two later but didn't buy it because I didn't have the funds and didn't want to use my credit card. Then I didn't find at all for months even though I kept looking everywhere. I went to Washington D.C. in mid-July and thought I'd find the set there and didn't but I did get a discounted Kraven and Spider-Man 80th anniversary 2-pack. Once I came back I used some unorthodox ways to find this set in store and found one! Although there was a smudge on MJ, but it was the only one and I did find the Iron Man and Iron Spider 2-pack so I got that as well. Thinking that I was wasn't gonna find one anywhere ever again probably I settled for it and figured I'd try to fix it. So I went to another Target closer to my house and I found a bunch of them and got it replaced. The lady at customer service looked at me funny and asked me what was the problem with the one I had so I told her and got it exchanged. Now I didn't care much for another Spider-Man that had a yellow jacket or an MJ and that was another reason why I didn't pre-order it, once I watched Spider-Man: Far From Home I really really wanted an MJ to go with my black and red suit Spider-Man.

Review: Spider-Man: Far From Home - Marvel Legends Mysterio // Spider-Man (Red and Black Suit) Molten Man Build-a-Figure Wave)

Mysterio was such an interesting character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially considering the history of the character in the comics. Spider-Man also sports a brand new suit in the movie which is okay, not a super fan of it but it's not a drastic change unlike the suit from The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) with Andrew Garfield... seriously, I hated that suit. Considering it's almost halfway through August and this movie has been out for over a month there's going to be a lot of things spoiled so be warned. Let's get to it!

Review: Avengers: Endgame - Hasbro Marvel Legends War Machine Mark 006 // Rescue 0049 // Endgame Hulk Build-a-Figure

With the re-release of Avengers: Endgame that I still haven't watched there's a whole new set of Marvel Legends coming out. The second wave for Endgame has some very anticipated figures. Shuri that was teased last year with the 2nd wave of Black Panther figures, the heavily armored Mark 006 War Machine, 0049 Rescue Armor for Pepper Potts, and Professor Hulk along with other comic figures (Rock Python, Union Jack, Loki, and Beta Ray Bill). One of the downsides were that War Machine and Hulk aren't the versions everyone was expecting, we'll get to that in a bit. This set had been out for a couple months at this point at Targets in different parts of the United States but I had no luck finding it. I did have it pre-ordered on Amazon but I ended up finding all of them at GameStop two weeks ago. They were a lot more expensive but I just couldn't wait...
