2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

 #2 It's no mystery that Legends has been killing it with their super popular line of 6 inch Marvel action figures. I've been able to resist the urge, opting to cherry pick figures and sets here and there.  Fave Factor: Marvel Legends Gamerverse Punisher/Nick Fury embodies everything I love about the characters and the 16 bit Sega Genesis video game. Besides two really great action figures you're getting a crap-load of weapons an explosion effect, alternate hands, cash filled suitcase plus a cool 16 bit backdrop. These are also my favorite Punisher head sculpts to date.

 I remember playing The Punisher Sega Genesis game and wondering why Nick Fury was dressed differently than in the comics. Did he look like this at any point in the marvel comic universe? I'll have to look that up. Either way, it's still a bad ass look for S.H.I.E.L.D. commander, Nick Fury! 

I'm not one to pull the trigger too fast on anything that has just been released. I usually wait it out to see if the price comes down or if the reviews are positive. With this set though, I had to make an exception. I'll give you the deets as soon as I get these guys out of their plastic restraints. Loose pics coming! 

   Those of you who have followed my blog long enough know what the Secret Wars line of vintage figures mean to me. I'll never forget walking out of an early 80s CVS with Mattel's Secret Wars Dr. Doom in hand feeling like all was right in the world. 40 years later, Hasbro is picking up where Mattel left off, releasing their first wave of Secret Wars figures. I wasn't going to pick up any others from the line but after playing around with Iron Man, I may have to.  While not 100% percent faithful to the original, Marvel Legends SW Iron Man gets alot right. The paint, lenticular shield and gun are spot on. The added bonuses like spare hands, blast effects,  extra shield insert and roller skates are icing on the cake. I'm looking forward to picking up the rest of the wave. 

Stay tuned for loose pics and side by side comparison with vintage Mattel Secret Wars Iron Man! 

I don't know much about Dormammu. I've seen him in a couple of video games and on certain cartoon episodes but never came across any comic books that featured the ruler of the "Dark Dimension". I love the way he looks tho! He's got that Jack Kirby-esque vintage villain color scheme and overall look! As far as Marvel Legends goes, I'm currently picking off B- list villains to fill out my " bad-guys" roster and Dormammu ( I love saying Dormammu) will fit in nicely!  Dormammu
