Juggernaut (X3) (Marvel Legends (Hasbro)) Review
Juggernaut (X3)
Marvel Legends (Hasbro) (Hasbro)I'm the Juggernaut, [BLEEP]!
Well, actually, I am.

"Cain Marko is the step-brother of Charles Xavier, the leader of the X-men.
While serving in Vietnam, Marko, out of cowardliness, hid in a cave where he discovered the Gem Of Cyttorak. As soon as he touched it, he became a human Juggernaut, with arms as wide as an oak tree's trunk. The cave collapsed, leaving Marko for dead...
..Or so we thought."

That's the comic origin, in the movie, it didn't really explain his origin, just passed him off as a mutant to save time.

This figure is a giant. He's one of the bigger ones that Hasbro put out, among with Thor, Planet Hulk, and Hercules. Put him beside the Toybiz Juggernaut, he looks nothing more than 6".

The sculpt on him looks really, kind of simple from far away, but when you look at him close up, you'll see a lot of insignificant details, like worn out clothing, straps, buttons, snaps. The shoes are detailed greatly, the shoelaces really stand out, it has a nice, leathery texture, and at the very ends of the shoes, right where the toes are, there are a bunch of rounded, short spikes. You wouldn't want that kicking you in the bum, am I right?
The shin pads are sculpted with almost the same amount of detail the shoes were, the same leathery texture, the same straps, buttons. Come to think of it, it's almost exactly the same stuff, but this looks like it has lesser details because of the paint, but we'll get to that later. The pants are also somewhat detailed, tiny crinkles, and that leathery texture. I understand that Hasbro's just trying to put a lot of detail in their figures, but this is just too much detail, he's almost all leather clad, so what is he? A stripper?
Am I allowed to say that on here?
The belt, as I mentioned before is detailed to the very end, the buttons, the snaps, all the mumbo jumbo.
The upper torso is detailed, I'm afraid, not as well as the lower torso, Hasbro could've put a little of the detail on the upper torso that they did on the lower!
The upper torso is just your basic muscular body, I guess Hasbro made it so plain because they plan to use the mold again in the future, but still, this figure is lacking detail in the upper torso.
He has those muscleman abs, that gigantic chest like Arnold Swarchenegger used to have before he became governor. The chest still has the leather straps that substitute for the costume he wore in the comics. Detail is fine, not as impressive as the boots, but just hovering over "Meh". The arms are your average arms, looks a bit odd, not quite in proprtion for a guy his size, at the bottom of his forearms, just before his wrists, he has this weapon, I don't know exactly what you'd call it, but I'll try to word it as best as I can, it's like a brass forearm used probably for "backslapping" his enemies.
And he has 2 brass knuckles on each hand.
The hands are sculpted weirdly, since they have no articulation, they're always stuck in that lame "squeeze and punch" form.
His head is sculpted like Vinnie Jones, but not with a dead on accuracy.
The helmet is where Hasbro really shines, it looks exactly like it's counterpart in the movie.

Oh, man, that long on sculpt, this is gonna be a long review.

The articulation is great, really like the old Toybiz articulation, he has all together, 32 points of articulation, more than Toybiz' last big bad guy, Abomination who only had 26.
He has 16 points of articulation in his upper torso, 2 in his neck, 6 in each of the arms, 1 in his chest and another at his hips.
He has another 16 in his lower torso, 2 balljoints on both his thighs, a double joint in each of his knees, the boot rotates a full 360 around his shin, there's 2 swivel joints in his ankles and no toe articulation.

He's painted, um.. okay, I guess. His skin is a plain white, no textures whatsoever, so it doesn't really look like the film counterpart who had somewhat dark skin. The helmet is painted a solid gray with tiny shadows everywhere, his pants are dark brown, but also with shading to make his thigh muscles pop out, the shin guards are painted a lighter brown so you can tell the difference, and the boots are a dark brownish red.
The soles of his boots are painted black, in case you wanted to know.

He has 1 accessory, his helmet, but I guess you can't really call it an accessory because without his helmet, he's not really the Juggernaut.
Hasbro dropped the comics included with the figure, and for the movie legends, that's a good thing because you're likely just to get a lame poster book.

Thanks for reading my first review or second, I also reviewed TBML6 Juggernaut as Argel319.

Thanks for reading!

Man, you beat me to it! I was just gonna say the same thing.
See in my pic, that he''s bigger than X3 beast, but not as big as comic juggernaut?
Because comic juggernaut is supposed to make other figures look like dwarfs.

The X3 movie figures are to regular people proportions, not superhero sized.

I don''t understand why people still don''t get that the X3 figs ARE A DIFFERENT SCALE THAN THE NORMAL MLS ON PURPOSE. This is why there are so many people complaining about X3 figs being in the main ML series, they are a different scale and aren''t really "legends" since they are characters from a new story-line from a recent movie.
The X3 Juggernaut isn''t supposed to be 7 or 8 inches, he''s not a colossal monster, he''s just a guy that happens to be taller than everyone else.

In the movie, he practically towered over everybody, so he seems in scale fine to me.
See? He''s in scale with the rest of the X3 movie figures, but not that in scale with Toybiz Legends.

I agree with you that the sculpt is nice but I think that he''s not really in scale. I know he should not be as large/tall as King Thor or She-Hulk but they should not dwarf him either.

Hey, I got in!
I thought they would filter my review cause of the stripper bit in there.
