Marvel Legends – Smart Hulk Wave – Union Jack

I know I've mentioned this before, but I am not always too familiar with whom these Comics characters are. Especially when they go off into people like union Jack here. That said, I often don't mind picking them up for the sake of a BAF that I do care about. Or sometimes just because they seem neat. Union Jack pretty much falls into the latter, though there is a bit fo the former there. What I can gather from reading some summaries of his story online, he's sort of like a cross between Captain America and James Bond. There have…

Marvel Legends – Smart Hulk Wave – Rock Python

So, this one will be pretty short and to the point for sure. Rock Python is definitely a beyond nobody level character in the grand scheme of things. Hell, I keep wanting to call him Rock Viper. There's not anything particularly new or special aside from his goofy snake helmet head. It's not even particularly snakey either, unlike say King Cobra or Cottonmouth. Aside from the Smart Hulk BAF piece, he is mostly notable for being part of the Serpent Society. I really think it's neat how they keep slipping these guys in, since they also are kind of a…

Marvel Legends – Smart Hulk Wave – Loki (Comic)

I'm not super keen on Loki's comic book look. He's a little too, court jester in style for my liking. Still, he's kind of a big part of the whole Thor and Asgardian world, being Thor's brother and all, so not having a Loki to go with my other Asgardians was kind of a hole in need of filling. Plus, frankly, I kind of wanted everyone else in the wave. I'm sure someone who keeps better track than I do would know which "buck" this is, but it's pretty much just "Bulky dude in spandex". The figure is honestly pretty…

Marvel Legends – Smart Hulk Wave – Beta Ray Bill

As a fairly popular secondary character of the Marvel universe, it's kind of surprising that Beta Ray Bill doesn't have more figures. He has a neat design that lends itself pretty well to being a "cool toy" and his outfit could easily be made from reusing most Thor figures. If you are unfamiliar with the character, you may notice that he looks a lot like Thor. His origin and history is very much related to Thor and the hammer Mjolnir. He was one of, if not the first character, besides Thor, to be worthy enough to wield the hammer in…

Review – Marvel Legends – Blade (Man-Thing Wave)

The recent Man-Thing BAF wave of Marvel Legends is also known as the Netflix Wave.  Primarily because it consists of Netflix versions of several characters, namely, Daredevil, The Punisher, Elektra and Jessica Jones.  The wave also includes some comic characters though, mostly ones that make sense.  Bullseye and Blade are both sort of in the same "street level" department as out Netflix heroes.  Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I almost wonder if this is sort of a secret preview for some possible future shows from Netflix.  Bullseye is too much of a Daredevil staple that I would…
