Ms. Marvel / Captain America / Radioactive Man (Marvel Legends - Infinite Series) Review
Ms. Marvel / Captain America / Radioactive Man
Marvel Legends - Infinite Series (Hasbro)Lets lay it all out: Marvel Legends figures are bland uninspired hunks of plastic that are only good as bases for making characters you actually want. I havent been excited for a ML figure since the days when they were all detailed original sculpts. Nowadays theyre the exact same bodies with paint thrown at them with a spoon. Seriously, the quality control is awful, don't give Hasbro your money.

They arent fun to review either, but I know it's helpful for customizers to know what kind of parts theyre built with, so here we go.

Ms Marvel uses all the "buff chick" parts, beefy thighs, muscular arms with an extra swivel at the upperarm, hips with a good range, and big breasts. She isnt suitable for most female characters, unless you want the beefy proportions of course. The sash is a separate piece that can be removed. The seams where the figure's parts are welded together look awful, and make it harder to crack the lower body since theyre thick welds. I wish they would just leave the damn things unwelded. The upper body is soft plastic so you can pop it off, as well as the arms. Bonus Fact: Theres enough of a gap between the hair and the body to easily add a cape like Scarlet Witch's. I think this head was originally going to be used for an Emma Frost figure since she wears a cape thing. Plus, the face is kinda angry/bitchy because of the eyebrows.

Captain America's body youve seen before as a SHIELD soldier and FaceOff Punisher. The detailed boots, gloves, and gear look out of place on the plain body. Theres a groove at the waist for the belt to rest on. All the gear is easiy removable. My figure had two right biceps. The paint flakes off easily. :/ At least he has an extra unmasked head and shield.

Radioactive Man is mostly a plain body, you can remove the skirt and bootcuffs since theyre separate pieces. The waist is untampered with, not sure about the area under the bootcuffs, I havent checked yet. The arms have doublehinge elbows, good range but the upper elbow joint doesn't bend much. The arms don't look that great on DCUC bodies, too meaty, keep it in mind if you were planning to upgrade arms.

Quality: There is none. Hasblow wants you to pay 20 dollars a pop for crappy toys with cracked bodyparts and sloppy paint apps. This set is like 50 bucks but you can get it for like 35 online. Its a good deal for customizers because you can make some quick decent customs, sell them for 50 bucks a pop, and make a nice profit to buy something way cooler, like an ALIENS Queen lol

I really like some of the Marvel Legends, but I have noticed the newer stuff isn't as cool as the older waves IMHO. They seems to shovel them out with ever growing frequency. The old ToyBiz ones, esp the early BAF and pre-BAF, were the dog's bollocks. Even the ones uglier than a bull terrier's balloon knot were interesting sculpts, and highly detailed.

Reviews don't "age poorly", when someone gives you junk toys you say they're junk toys, that's the gig.

This was a POS batch of figures so it gets a POS score. If I got them today the score would be the same.

If you mean it might need a revision because now MCU figures exist, sure, completely agreed.
