Write a Review link for that item. Marvel Legends (Toy Biz) (Toy Biz)Everyone's favorite immortal/psychic vampire/genetic-engineering-genius/soul-reaver/evil-incarnate is finally put into a respectable scale! What's that Mr Sinister?...I must write a sparkling review about you or you'll eat my soul?...sounds reasonable... Just when I thought Thor was a tall as they came, Sinister comes along and tops him at 7.2 inches! He is massive, the muscle is perfect, and the detail is amazing. His pale face is chiseled out of gravestone while the chrome-red eyes shine brightly like the red jewel on his forehead. He has that classic 80's flat-top hair and even a goatee. I couldn't find any paint-flaws on him (since not much of him is painted anyway, lol). There is intricate scroll-work on his chrome-red belt, blue rubber shoulderpads, and gloves. The blood-red stone on his chest looks like it was painted sparkly-red but since it's painted over the dark-blue plastic, it looks a little too dark, nothing to complain about though. His thigh-high boots are nicely sculpted to look like flexible material. What's annoying though is that his wrists aren't articulated. If you want to turn his hands then you need to turn the entire arm, very irritating. He comes with that weird red-undersided/blue-topped tendril-cape with a high collar. It's made of soft plastic and is easily removable. Evil never had such poseability! Sinister's head is on a swivel-hinge and can face any direction. His shoulders are also swivel-hinged, arms hinge just under the shoulders, elbows are double-hinged, wrists are hinged, and all his fingers are individually articulated! He bends just under the ribs (if he even has ribs), and his waist is swiveled. His hips are swivel-hinged, legs swivel just under the hips, knees are double-hinged with a swivel just under them, ankles are hinged and rocking. I count 40 points of articulation! And on closer inspection, 42 POA when you count his hinged toes, toes of pure EVIL... Sinister comes with a Sentinel piece and a completely unnecessary clear stand, like Mystique's. He can't fly and isn't exactly the most active of villains like Sabretooth or Magneto and he can pose evilly just fine on his own. Despite Mr. Sinister's awesome evilness, for some reason people aren't buying him as much as other Marvel Legends. He's around 8 to 10 dollars in stores, and 3 to 5 dollars loose at auction, and still no one buys him! Colossus goes for 30-50 bucks and he just looks like a big robot! You're all lucky Sinister doesn't smite you with his narly mind powers ;)  by Henchmen4Hire |

Update Your Review
I see your point about the Punisher but I still think its a bad figure
There is a repaint of the ML Colousus coming out in the excellent new X Men line(along with a Phenoix very simmilar to her ML figure) in series 3 I think.
I think Sinister is one of those characters that you have to have liked their origins and stories in the comic books, before the toy came out, for you to really want to have him. When I first saw Magneto in the comic books, I thought, oh great another guy with too much red, but then I saw his powers and read his back story and now I''d like to have one, but they''re expensive...
I think Mystique was the greatest ML flop due to the gross false advertising on the packages. Mystique is beautiful in the picture on the back of the box, but looks anorexic once you actually see the toy.
What''s wrong with Movie Punisher?
How much is that in US dollars?
Fix''d :]
