Silver SurferMarvel Legends (Toy Biz) - Series 5
Rated
4.50 stars by
fallenOk so the only beef I have with this figure is that theres a little blue in his face which makes him look a little like ice-man I think they should have put blue all over like it was reflecting the planets or black like reflecting the space around him. The figure does have blue on him but it is very faint the face need to be faded more or the body darker. Well actually I guess thats not my only beef I have two more one I really like the magnetic feature how he attaches to his board but the magnets are not strong enough number two the board connects to a stick which connects to a meteor I think the stick should have been clear fortunately though you can use cables stick from his turret since they detach. Other than those few miner defaults this figure is pretty accurate to the comics and...[

Iron Man (First Appearance)Marvel Legends (Toy Biz) - Series 14 - Mojo Series
Rated

necornautFirst appearance iron man, well the name says it all, he's the first appearance of iron man and he's in his silver costume, although he only appears like this only for one and a half issues this is a figure you want to get. We will first start out with the paint overall very good I mean I couldn't find too much wrong. The articulation was good I liked the articulated fingers, just saying this because of how his fingers are its quite easy and funny to make him look like he's giving the bird. One thing that bothered me was his helmet, it never quite fits right I tried heating it up then attaching it and hoping it would fit better but it never did (I think its a conspiracy against proper fitting face plates). Also one thing I would have liked to see was his little skirt thing. Overall a...[

Green GoblinMarvel Legends (Toy Biz) - Series 13 - Onslaught Series
Rated

Henchmen4HireWhy is Green Goblin considered one of the greatest villains of all time? Well, he wears green and purple (like the Joker), laughs insanely all the time (like Joker), and flys around on a rocket (...like Joker's imaginary rocket, yeah!).
Norman stands a hair under 6 inches, which is just fine with me, it only adds to the impish image. This is one fine figure, there is detailing to enhance the overall appearance, even the long cap has realistic seams! I kinda sorta have a problem with the figure not being painted, at least it looks and fells like the body parts are cast in their respective colors. Most of the figure has a dull matte-finish though to help off-set the feeling of "plasticy-ness". The face looks like it's the real face instead of a mask, but the way the eyes are help bring it...[

Sabretooth (Age of Apocalypse)Marvel Legends (Toy Biz) - Giant Man Series
Rated
4.00 stars by
Henchmen4HireIt's wierd to see this version of Sabretooth so ugly because I always see him drawn as a handsome man, well, handsome like the Beast from the Beauty and the Beast Disney movie. It's cool to be this ugly I guess, I mean, Apocalypse is ugly as hell and he still has hot chicks swarming around him. Yeah, they're his slaves, but still! I think it would be nice to be in his harem...um, anyway...
Tooth is almost 6.5 inches tall but looks shorter because of the stumpy proportions of the body. The arms look odd but they work. Paint is almost non-existent on this figure, but it's still shaded a little to bring-out the shredded muscles. The body has seams in the suit so it doesn't just look like painted skin, and the legs have effective folds in the clothes, they're even textured a bit. They would...[

Doc OckMarvel Legends (Toy Biz) - Series 8
Rated
4.50 stars by
Henchmen4HireFigures like this is why I liked the Marvel Legends figures. Even bland dumpy designs like this classic Dr Octopus were given the works and imbued with all the articulation they could stuff into it! I mean, WOW! Even the thumbs move!
The Doc stands-in at about 5.5 inches of muscular munchkiny mass. He's short but he looks like he could definitely kick your bum. The paint and colors are basic, the green is molded in that color with some yellow-green dry-brushing and the gloves/boots/belt are painted a burnt-yellow. The head is also painted and the expression on the face is hilarious! Doc Ock is either wincing or grinning or sneezing or worse, use your imagination. The glasses are glued-on, I guess so they don't fall off while he's doing...whatever it is that expression suggests he's...[

TaskmasterMarvel Legends (Toy Biz) - Series 11 - Legendary Riders Series
Rated
5.00 stars by
necornautTasky or otherwise known as Taskmaster is seriously a sweet Marvel Legend if you can get a hold on him. Taskmaster has the Bullseye, Daredevil, and countless other legends style articulation, the only thing that I would personally change on Tasky is his hands lack the finger joints so his gun hand always looks as though he's trying to get somebody to come near him by waving his finger. Besides his hands Taskmaster is very sturdy for a figure, as he has fallen off of his glider and off of a bookshelf many a times.
Tasky comes with many accessories as he should because hey Taskmaster with out the tools just isnt him. He comes with his black knight style sword, his custom captain america shield, a billy club like daredevil, and just a plain pistol, don't get me wrong its cool looking but...[

fallenDeathlok is a great figure his paint is beautiful his body is a metallic red and so is his left arm Deathlok like in the comics gun is attached to him then he has that back pack thing on his back.The sculpt is also perfect.I think the most detailed piece of this figure is the face.The sculpt on the face and the paint is perfect he looks exactly like he does in the comics.I don't know whether he has a variant or not but I have seen a different figure of him he has an American flag on his chest and his gun is not connected to him but on the back of the comic it shows not variant.This figure is very articulated he can be posed in any stand you want he features 39 points of articulation.Since this figure is cybernetic he can be used as a custom for many purposes such as forge or terror or...[

fallenOmega Red I remember wanting this guy after playing that play station video game with him an shuma gorath and black heart and so when they finally came out with the sentinel series black panther and omega red were the first ones I got.

Phoenix (Green Uniform)Marvel Legends (Toy Biz) - Series 6

Collector1This weekend, October 24-25, I had to run down my male parent's home in Texas for visitation and went around town to many of the stores and flea markets to pass time. At the Redneck Dirt Mall, I found this toy mint in a not so mint box for three bucks. I popped it open and decided to write a review.
As my first Toybiz Marvel Legend, I am fairly impressed. The hair is made of soft, flexible rubber and the face is full and nicly crafted and the body itself actual looks like a human female. The paint is smooth and crisp, though the eyes are a little sloppy, I can let that go. The Phoenix Crest on her chest is flawless, but the black paint it is on top off is a little short on the right side, so it looks like they misplaced it. The torso is made of green plastic and the limbs from yellow...[
