ColossusMarvel Legends (Toy Biz) - Series 5
Rated
4.95 stars by
fallenThis is a great figure because First he's huge not like in the cartoon where he's all skinny.Second His costume is dead on to the comic.Next is the paint job the way they painted the metal is just perfect.Another thing I like about the figure is his costume one because its almost like a rubber second the piece where the boot goes up to the knee is connected to the boot so he doesn't lose articulation. This figures articulation is pretty well although each individual finger does not move so theres a down fall the only finger that does move is the thumb. the way the thumb moves is kind of odd because it does not move up and down but from side to side. So far the paint on this figure has not flaked off for me yet on the top of his head a little. There is no variant to this figure it would be...[

PunisherMarvel Legends (Toy Biz) - Series 4

fallenFirst let me start off by saying this figure looks just like punisher. The detail on this figure is amazing.The skull ah yes the skull is completely flawless.It has nose holes and those slanted black eyes and then the jaw which bulges out from the punisher's chest And then the way they painted the skull so you can see the shadows where the suit wrinkles it gives it all a more eerie look to it.everything that is whit looks just like the skull with the black shadowing showing through.The pockets where the the skull jaw connects on his belt gives a detailed look also.The pockets are black with blue showing through.Next is the sculpting purely amazing especially the jaw of the skeleton and the black lines aren't just painted on the actually carved in then painted black.Then theres the...[

fallenThe iron fist figure is probable my favorite figure out of the Apocalypse line. the painting of this figure is amazing and the skin tone actually looks like skin he doesn't look pale or pink. Next is the sculpting the sculpting is very well done especially the mask. One of my favorite pieces about the is the collar.The reason I like the collar is it just fits perfectly on his costume. It does not look like it was just made and stuck on and you can totally see wear it connects it actually looks like it belongs. Then there's the dragon on his chest the dragon is painted on perfectly is has very sharp edges and has not chipped off his chest yet.Ah yes and then there's those ballet slipper like things you don't think that those would look good on a figure but toy biz pulled it off they made...[

BullseyeMarvel Legends (Toy Biz) - Series 9 - Galactus Series
Rated
5.00 stars by
fallenBullseye a figure you see a lot of as a base figure.Any way not only is this figure great for customs but he is also one of the best figures toy biz has made.The reason Bullseye is such a great figure is because he is very articulated each individual finger is movable. even though this figure is plain and does not have much accessories or pouches or any thing that is very complicated he still looks just as he jumped out of the comic because of the great paint job.Bullseye's variant is darker colored and is gritting his teeth.Bullseye comes with the left leg of Galactus and a comic book.Bullseye features 44 points of articulation.Personally I like the non gritting teeth bullseye better than the gritting teeth bullseye for two reasons one is the mouth I don't like the way it looks on him...[

CableMarvel Legends (Toy Biz) - Series 6
Rated
5.00 stars by
fallenI have been wanting Cable for a long time now and I finally found him pretty cheap on a website. This cable in my opinion is much better than the Hasbro cable. Cable has great detail painting and looks exactly like the comic. Cable comes with a variety of different guns,a comic,shoulder pad that is removable, and a turret.The turret comes with clear stand that is much like that of the one that comes with the silver surfer.Cable can either sit on the turret or he can hold. to have him hold the turret you have to take it off the stand and flip over so that it fits on his shoulder the handles also have to be removed in order for it to go over his shoulder. Cable comes in either blue and yellow or brown and blue. Cable features 43 points of articulation so he can be posed in a variety of...[

Henchmen4HireI give this plain boring 6-inch figure a 4 because of the customizing potential. It's what every customizer dreams of, an all black figure, and a decent FEMALE figure to boot. And you get 4 wings! You can pop them off and make a fairy army led by Tinkerbelle something, get creative. The hands are a nice size, they don't look awful. The yellow areas are the only painted parts on the body, they have a matte finish. The black is semi-matte, I can't explain it, maybe my figure is just dirty, hah. The hair, eyes, and lips are also painted, but the eyes on mine look way too wide, almost surprised. I don't like how flat her hair is, but if that's the way it's in the comics then I can't complain too much, at least it's decently dry-brushed.
I can't understand why they didn't give her forearm...[

Henchmen4HireWanda stands about 6 inches to the top of her head and taller if you count the "hair". I'm not sure what the hell Toy Biz was thinking here by approving this figure, she looked so sexy in the promo pics and then you see the actual figure and it's like a slap in the face with a stinky old fish, just awful. I hate her lips and her nose is crooked. She has almost the same body as the ugly Mystique with the cockroach torso and skinny little legs, and the hair looks like dog-poop. Seriously, I'm not exaggerating, if you could see it first-hand you'd instantly think "poop", it painted horribly, very gloopy. The redeeming quality I could find in this figure is that the gloves and boots are PERFECT for a Red Sonja custom, they're the right size and shape and everything, and the fact that they're...[

WaspMarvel Legends (Toy Biz) - Series 15 - Modok Series
Rated

ChancellorThis is probably my favorite female ML. Ms. Janet Van Dyne-Pym is complete in her current Wasp costume, and big, butterflyish wings. She has the same sculpt/body as Spider-Woman, only smaller hands, good paint job too, with light yellow on the bottom of her boots and hands. She also has short hair, which is currently not how her hair is in the comics, but whatever. So, she's has good looks, cool super powers, and a tight @ss, everything you'd want in a chic-action figure =). I'd buy her if I were you. She also comes with a part to the M.O.D.O.k. BAF, which is totally worth the whole series!!!

Rated
3.75 stars by
ChancellorMarvel Legends Moon Knight is an excellent figure. As I see it, the best choice of sculpt of his character. The cape is removable, revealing a angry, menacing face, and black costume. He's also got billy clubs, a.k.a nun-chucks, WHATEVER, and a staff thing, which is kinda bendy and I can't seem to get it to stay straight. And on the back of Moony's belt is a little loop that you can put his billy clubs on. I didn't see it in the check lists, but there is a variant with a lighter tone of gray/silver. I guess that would be more to the current comic line, but I kinda like that contrast you get with the black on white. Not much more to say about this figure, 'cept that he comes with a piece of the M.O.D.O.K (mechanical organism designed only for killing) build a figure. He's a sweet figure...[

fallenGhost-rider betrayed Mephisto now he has to get a new rider...VENGEANCE. Vengeance says it all, the devil Mephisto wants Vengeance on Ghost Rider and that's exactly why he gave Vengeance his name. Every collector absolutely needs to get this figure. Vengeance looks exactly like the comic book and has a great paint job. He comes with a Ghost Rider - Vengeance Will Be Mine comic book and a motorcycle with see through fire on his wheels. On the bottom of his wheels are little wheels so that it can move. On the bones, which holds the wheels on, there are stubs that stick out so that his feet can hook on and he can ride his motorcycle. He has see through fiery hair and two long fangs that stick out over his bottom jaw. He has spikes that stick out from his shoulder pads. He also has bone...[
