And Power Princess looks gorgeous—more “Wonder Woman” than a lot of Wonder Woman figures that have been released. I know some fans will still balk about this not bring their preferred vintage version of the character, but I love this. Marvel Legends Namorita looks phenomenal with the pin-less female super-articulation that Hasbro has just about perfected. I don’t love the pinned knees on Marvel Legends Justice, particularly since the bright blue plastic makes the pins quite apparent—but at least we’re not suffering through a pinned Marvel Boy fiasco.
Never thought I’d want one of these, but it looks really cool — especially with the effect accessory. Also, a huge thanks to TOYCOLLECTR for snapping some photos of this bizarre and wonderful figure that show just how cool the design is. Folks seem to be pretty excited about this one, but I find it hard to find enthusiasm for any Iron Man figure made lately — especially when they’re based on the older MCU movies. MCU Bruce Banner I normally don’t even cover Hasbro’s current 3.75″ Marvel offerings. In addition to most of them having only 5 points of articulation, they tend to be grossly overpriced. It’s also where resources are being directed instead of a super articulated 3.75″ line, which makes me grumpy. MCU Collector also got a shot of a female Hydra trooper who has been conspicuously absent from any promotional material — at least that I can find. Let’s hope she gets an official announcement soon!
Not familiar with this character, but that design all but demands a salute. It’s a shame the figure will end up costing so much due to its size. Crystar The colors, articulation and construction of this new Vision action figure are all top-notch—every Avengers fan who collects comic-based figures is going to want this Marvel Legends Vision. I don’t normally collect MCU figures, but those head sculpts might have me making an exception when this figure is released. MCU Iron Man (Mark II)
Equally—if not more—popular, will be the new classic Vision Marvel Legends figure. It’s absolutely astonishing that it’s taken this long for Hasbro to update this particular look for Vision, but the long overdue figure does not disappoint at all. Seriously, I love this forehead blast beam. I do wish it was compatible with the calm and placid-looking head as well (I generally picture Viz as a less crazed-looking dude), but I’m glad DST included this treat at all. Rounding out the series, we have the Void Build-A-Figure. The Dark God counterpart to The Sentry, it’s hard for me to really summarize what The Void even is despite having read almost all of the material with the character. While I normally try to give a unique comment for each figure in a wave reveal, every one of X-Men ’97 figures carries the same analysis with a couple of exceptions:
The only downside to this figure is that it’s not priced for army building. Just look at all those awesome accessories! Luke Cage For example, you may see a Thor action figure with the likeness of actor Chris Hemsworth (who is noted for playing the God of Thunder across several live-action movies), but this is contrasted with a comic-accurate Wolverine, outfitted in his signature yellow costume. Hasbro Marvel Legends Helmets There isn’t as much articulation as you’d get on a Hasbro Marvel Legends figure (that’s not DST’s jam), but I feel like all the points I really need are present, including: Just when I thought Hasbro had produced every iteration of Namor possible (short of an old-school red trunks version), they go and hit us with a wild 90s Savage Namor Legends figure. Next up is a set of figures that’s sure to be a hit with us old folks who grew up with the 90’s X-Men Animated series — or anyone who likes great toys, for that matter.
Great Deal
