When Hasbro started releasing the Fantastic Four figures exclusively through Walgreens, it seemed like it would be a long time until we got the complete team. And while technically it didn’t take too long, getting a four member team parceled out slowly over a two year span meant your display would be incomplete for a…

Marvel Legends Sauron Wave Omega Red Images & Impressions
Since his first appearance in X-men(1991) #4, Omega Red has been one of the coolest looking X-men villains around. He was created by writer Jim Byrne and legendary artist Jim Lee. I’ve always liked this design and his powers are pretty cool. This new Deadpool Series of figures overall is good, but I really only…
Marvel Legends Sauron Wave Bishop Images & Impressions
My first exposure to the time displaced X-man known as Bishop came from the 90’s X-men cartoon. Bishop traveled back to stop the assassination of Senator Kelly in an attempt to change history and change his timeline. It was very different from his first appearance in Uncanny X-Men #282. In that issue, Bishop and his…
Marvel Legends Apocalypse Wave Sabretooth Images & Impressions
A couple years ago, when Hasbro was doing the mini BAF thing, they released a Wolverine wave of figures that had a Sabretooth figure in his modern costume. I passed on it because it was not the version I wanted. I wanted the classic version that I saw on the show and in the comics…
Marvel Legends Apocalypse Wave Storm Images & Impressions
A few years back there was a wave of X-men figures that was exclusive to Toys R Us(R.I.P.). The wave was pretty good, however because of its exclusivity, getting the entire wave was pretty difficult. Magneto and Storm in particular were impossible to find on the pegs. They can be found on Ebay if you…
Marvel Legends Cull Obsidian Wave Malekith Images & Impressions
SDCC is always awesome because of the excellent collectibles that are made available exclusively for the convention. But what do you do if you can’t make it? For the most popular items, sometimes they will be made available online, but it’s hit or miss if you’ll get it. For example, last years Thor set which…
Marvel Legends Apocalypse Wave Psylocke Images & Impressions
I have been waiting so long for this figure! Psylocke has had a long and convoluted history, but she did not gain true popularity until after she went through the Siege Perilous and went from being a telepath in armor to a psychic ninja. Similarly, she went through some bad figures before we got to…
Transformers Power Of The Primes Terrorcon Blot Images & Impressions
As big a fan as I am of Transformers, I don’t know much about the Terrorcons. Obviously they are a group under the Decepticon faction who combine into a larger bot, but I don’t remember them from the original show. Perhaps they came along in that last season that I didn’t watch much of. That…
Marvel Legends MCU Thanos Wave Songbird Images & Impressions
I was a big fan of the Thunderbolts comic that Marvel used to put out. It had the interesting concept of having villains pose as heroes. Some remained villains at their core while others, like Songbird, eventually became true heroes. I was excited when the initial images of Songbird surfaced. She was displayed with her…
Marvel Legends Sasquatch Wave X-23 Images & Impressions
I’ve never been a big X-23 fan. I don’t have any issues. I didn’t follow her adventures much until she became a member of Cyclops’ X-force team. This figure depicts her as she was during that volume of the book. The head sculpt on this figure is awesome. It has this dynamic quality perfect for…
