Write a Review link for that item. Marvel Legends - Infinite Series (Hasbro)Alright, I’ll admit it. I’m not a big Marvel guy. If anything, I’m more into DC. Though that said, I have been eyeing some of the Marvel figures Hasbro has to offer. The upcoming animated X-Men figures look awesome (having only just started watching the show helps), and I regret not getting the Pulse-exclusive Venom. But one that’s been interesting me for a while is the Marvel Legends M.O.D.O.K. I’ve seen him a couple times at retailers, but it wasn’t until last month that I finally caved in and got him. M.O.D.O.K. is packaged in a rather interesting way, he comes disassembled! The front and back sides of the figure, the legs, hair, and thruster are all separated in the box, but it’s not too hard to put him together. I struggled a bit getting the hair in, but the way to do it is slide it on top of the front half before connecting it to the back. The packaging is long but slim, but it’s easy to open, and it has some nice graphics as well. Once we get M.O.D.O.K. out and all assembled, it’s pretty much noticeable right away that he’s huge. Yes, he’s only 6” tall, but he’s big all around. No wonder why they packaged him the way they did. His face is deformed and wrinkly, and we get two options for it. The face he comes wearing looks menacing and deep in thought, and the second one is much angrier, with an open mouth and wide-open eyes. The rest of him has some great detail as well, especially on the hair and chair. The paint is very clean, with plenty of wash to help enhance his appearance. Given the fact that he’s practically a giant head in a suit of armor, it’s no surprise that M.O.D.O.K. wouldn’t be the most flexible guy, but he’s still outfitted with some great articulation. He has swivel/hinge joints at the shoulders, elbows, wrists, and ankles, ball-jointed hips, swivel thighs, double-hinged knees, and a ball-joint for the joystick on his chair. The joints can be a little stiff, but you should still be able to manage some nice poses. While his legs are more than likely to be just left dangling, there’s plenty of things you can do with the arms and joystick. There aren’t a lot of accessories included with this big guy, but it’s not as if he needs a lot. I already mentioned the two faceplates, but also included with him are four different hands – a pair of open hands, a closed right, and a gripping left to hold onto the joystick. All of the faces and hands swap easily, giving you some nice display options, but I feel like a closed left hand should’ve been included for better poses of rage. We also can’t have M.O.D.O.K. just sit around, so Hasbro included a blast effect to plug into the bottom of the figure, working as a display stand. It comes in two parts that connect together easily, and it stands about 2 ½” tall. Even though it plugs in via ball-joint, there isn’t really any tilt to it, which is a shame. For my first Marvel Legends figure, I have to say, M.O.D.O.K. is pretty nice. The combination of a great sculpt, nice paint, and good articulation make for one hell of a fun figure. While there are a few things that I would’ve liked to have been added or improved, he’s still great. I may end up getting more of what this company has to offer, but I’m not too sure yet.   by RMaster007 |
