2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

Marvel Select has alot of incredible figures in their repertoire and this Doom just ain't one of em'. Don't get me wrong, Its not a horrible figure. Joints are solid, paint apps on point and all accessories are functional. The gun fits nicely in Doom's hand and holster. The switchable hand holding the chalice is also a nice addition.  After taking the figure out of the packaging I got a lot of Jack Kirby vibes. I guess that's not a bad thing. This is definitely a throwback sculpt of Dr. Doom and while it's not my favorite, it'll fit in nicely with the rest of my Select collection. The real gem in this set is Dooms throne. Although I'll admit to being leery about the possibility of  Doom not being able to sit in it properly. Such was not the case, though, due to the latex like material Doom's cape is made out of. It's very form fitting and allows Doom to lamp flawlessly in his favorite seat! Enjoy the pics! 

I've collected, religiously, Hasbro's 3.75 Marvel Universe in the past. I loved the variety and overall availability of the figures. Today they are non existent and totally overpriced on ebay. My first instinct was to hop over to Marvel's super popular 6" Legends figures but I was already way too late to that party. Many of the figures that I wanted from that line had already been phased out and were selling for twice as much online. Plus, Legends figures shot up in price, from $20 to $25 bucks in some stores and I wasn't about to play that game. I needed to scratch that Marvel itch some way, somehow and I've finally been able to do just that with Marvel Select! You're getting so much with these figures. Awesome packiging, figure stands and some amazing, totally original sculpts! Ok, so some figures are more articulated than others. Easier  to pose and whatnot. And I get it. But for the price, you can't go wrong. I'm at a point in toy collecting whe
