Marvel Legends Man-Thing Series Blade Photos & Impressions

I picked Blade up a little while ago, but I am just now getting around to taking a good look at him. In general, it’s a good action figure, but it does not wow me. The articulation for Blade for the most part, is really good. The only part that isn’t done so well is…
