Marvel Legends - Infinite Series Reviews
Cabal 3-Pack
Marvel Legends - Infinite Series (Hasbro) - Marvel 85th Anniversary
Rated 4.00 stars by Wes68
The Cabal 3 pack brings together some notable villains. Whether this pack resonates with you will largely come down to whether or not you either already own the figures; or your personal preference for one figure over another. From my perspective for example? I have no real attachment to or knowledge of Iron Patriot. I do now of course learning that it is essentially Norman Osborn in Iron Man armor. This pack does reuse a lot of things. The Iron Patriot appears to be a reuse of the Iron Man Extremis armor. There may be some new sculpting, and the Norman head is new. So if you have a retro Goblin? You can use the Norman head on him. So let's talk about Taskmaster next. Taskmaster may offer the most bang for your buck. He uses a newer vulcan body versus the prior Bucky Cap body. His...[See More]
Crystar
Marvel Legends - Infinite Series (Hasbro) - Void Series
Rated 5.00 stars by Karl T. Face
If you cherry-pick this line as severely as me, your choice this time is clear. Crystar is one of those oddballs that's eked by on guest appearances and miniseries for like 25 years. A sword-and-sorcery adventure filled with strong character arcs, fun designs, and a bit of a throwback feel even then. Our protagonist here was one of two princes, turned into mineral through various magics, and forbidden to ascend the throne until they stop trying to kill each other. I won't go into it all, but the story is great; it's just lousy with infodumping. Credit where it's due, Hasbro has delivered what I believe to be 100% new sculpt. And they did not skimp, covering every inch with multiple facets. The art in the comic wavers a tad, but this seems to be taken from one of the splash pages, with the...[See More]
Iron Man (Model 70)
Marvel Legends - Infinite Series (Hasbro) - Controller Series
Rated 5.00 stars by ScarecrowGOF
This is a great Iron man action figure. This is my first marvel legends figure I have bought and it's very good. The articulation is good, as well.is the sculpting and paint. The accessories are great and work well with the figure. This is a great Iron Man to get if you have many iron man figures or if you have non and are looking for a starting place. I definitely recommend...[See More]
M.O.D.O.K.
Marvel Legends - Infinite Series (Hasbro) - Deluxe
Rated 4.90 stars by RMaster007
Alright, I’ll admit it. I’m not a big Marvel guy. If anything, I’m more into DC. Though that said, I have been eyeing some of the Marvel figures Hasbro has to offer. The upcoming animated X-Men figures look awesome (having only just started watching the show helps), and I regret not getting the Pulse-exclusive Venom. But one that’s been interesting me for a while is the Marvel Legends M.O.D.O.K. I’ve seen him a couple times at retailers, but it wasn’t until last month that I finally caved in and got him. M.O.D.O.K. is packaged in a rather interesting way, he comes disassembled! The front and back sides of the figure, the legs, hair, and thruster are all separated in the box, but it’s not too hard to put him together. I struggled a bit getting the hair in, but the way to do it is slide it...[See More]
Spider-Man (Stark Tech Suit)
Marvel Legends - Infinite Series (Hasbro) - Vulture Flight Gear Series
Rated 4.80 stars by AlexOviedo
Stark tech Spider-Man it's probably the best figure from his wave, the figure it's extremely detailed, the sculpted it's very well made and the wash of very dark blue over the body gives an special touch. About the bad points, I don't know if it's only on my figure, but the left arm is very loose and the main head has wide eyes and in the movie the eyes are a little bit closed, this review has ended, I recommend you to buy this figure if you are a collector, have a great day!...[See More]
Hulk
Marvel Legends - Infinite Series (Hasbro) - Thanos Series
Rated 3.50 stars by kingdiegond
For the Age of Ultron, Marvel Legends released just three characters from the movie. Movie versions of Captain America, Iron Man and Hulk where released in the Thanos wave, in 2015. Of these, Hulk is the best one. As expected, the figure is bulk as the character, but, comparing with the other figures from the line, could be even bigger. It has the right proportions, a terrific head sculp and great details. Even the pants have texture. The paint could be a little better. There's almost no paint work, it's just green and purple plastic. The shades of green skin we seen in the screen are not matched in this figure, unfortunately. The articulations are okay. The ball joints in the hips don't work fine, but the rest is acceptable. The figure has no accessories beyond the arm of Thanos BAF....[See More]
Soldiers of A.I.M. (Baron Zemo)
Marvel Legends - Infinite Series (Hasbro) - Mandroid Series
Rated 3.50 stars by kingdiegond
Being released in 2013, as part of Mandroid Series, Baron Zemo (Soldier of A.I.M.???) is one more figure to use the Bucky Cap mold (who has been used a thousand times since then). To be honest, a character with the relevance of Zemo deserved a better figure. Being fair, the Bucky mold fits well this time. It has good proportions and an atletic average built. The lines of the mask are well sculpted. It has a removable harness with two holsters with guns. It would be awesome if the guns could be removable from the holters, but they are sculpted into it! The paintwork is sloppy. No shadowing effects, colours that don't match with the comic character, and the purple ink barely cover the yellow plastic of the forearms. On the other hand, the articulations work fine, a fact who justify the...[See More]
Spider-Man (Movie)
Marvel Legends - Infinite Series (Hasbro) - Green Goblin Series
Rated 4.00 stars by kingdiegond
The Amazing Spider Man 2 isn't a great movie, but it gave an awesome look to Spidey. It was clear that Hasbro should make an action figure in the Marvel Legends line. This figure came in the ultimate Green Goblin Series. The figure is lanky and flexible. The web work is carved into the figure, instead of the high-relief seen in the movie. It works well. The legs are not well fitted in the hips, what seen a bit strange, but help the articulations. The paint miss some spots inside the web carvings, but not compromise so much the general paint work. My only gripe is the red of the double joint in the arms, who should be painted blue. The slenderness of the figure helps a lot with the articulations. It affords almost every pose and movement possible. For a character so dynamic as...[See More]
Havok
Marvel Legends - Infinite Series (Hasbro) - Juggernaut Series
Rated 2.00 stars by Henchmen4Hire
Havok is among the plainest Marvel Legends figures available. There's no reason to plunk down 25 bucks for it unless you're hardcore into boring, lazy character designs or it has sentimental value because you were reading his comic book when you lost your virginity. And even then I'd advise you buy emergency contraceptives instead of this figure, because kids are horrible little goblins that will drain your life force. (And kids, if you're reading this, go apologize to your parents for that.) If the above doesn't apply to you and bought Havok anyway, then you're most likely after the Juggernaut BAF piece or a customizer wanting a plain base body, so know that it uses the standard medium build body (like Batroc, Blizzard, etc.) with sculpted narrow silver wrist-cuffs. The silver detail on...[See More]

It's weird that you'd pipe up because of such a crappy figure, but okay, I'll bite

Bad figures get bad reviews, that's how it works. Around here we don't get free toys that subconsciously inspire good reviews, so you get honesty, and sometimes humor.

Besides that, most of the reviews I've posted here are what, like a decade old? And they're of even older figures. A lot of those reviews were upbeat despite being about mediocre figures, ML figures in particular weren't all the same body with a different head so I liked them more. I'd say it's also because the prices weren't outrageous like today. If MLs today cost like 10 bucks, cool, I'd consistently hand out 3 to 4 star ratings because that's about all they're worth. And if you follow online sale trends, many modern loose MLs don't even sell for $5, the BAF pieces alone can go for twice that lol

Also, you clearly never read the hundreds of reviews I posted on the Articulated Discussion site, where we did get free review samples. Even though most of the reviewed figures were of bland spandex characters, I made the effort to include fun photo comics and find silver linings to those plastic sh*t sandwiches. Here I'm not bound by the need to not tick off sponsors since we're all free to share opinions with almost no repercussions.

So, deal with it.

Or don't, good luck with that.

Scarlet Spider
Marvel Legends - Infinite Series (Hasbro) - Rhino Series
Rated 3.50 stars by Henchmen4Hire
As a kid, I had an irrational affinity for Scarlet Spider's design. I mean, the suit looks like lazy cosplay, like the guy snatched a red zentai suit, strapped on some pouches, and threw on a sweater. It looks like some abomination I would have created for Halloween because all they had left at the Thrifty store were Noid and Izzy costumes. Huh, I guess I could relate to the character with this terrible origin story I made up for him. Who needs psychotherapy when you have little plastic men! This spidey is between 6.15 and 6.25 inches tall, depending on how loose the metal bit is on your tape measure. It looks fine in action poses, but the thin build of the figure makes it appear very tall when standing up straight. Clearly, the suit design is very simple. The body is completely plain,...[See More]
