Review – Marvel Legends – Dormamu Wave – Nico Minoru

Runaways isn't a Marvel series I ever really expected to get any Marvel Legends from.  I kind of doubt we get too many more from this "team" either, all of them are kids and a lot of them essentially just have plain clothes costumes, which Marvel Legends doesn't really do too often.  I may be completely wrong though, there is a new TV series coming this fall.  It kind of seems like a fluke that we got Nico Minoru aka Sister Grimm.  She does sort of fit in with the Doctor Strange wave, since the figures are all "Magic themed"…

Mafex – The Dark Knight Rises Batman (v2)

DC is over here trying to reboot it's cinematic universe and here I am still stuck on the Nolan Batman films.  Maybe things will shape up and the new Batman will end up being amazing, but for now, I'm satisfied with Christian Bale's take on the character.  I really just don't feel Ben Affleck as Batman and I don't like the design of the newer suit(s) as much.  As such, for now, I'm sticking with this Batman from Mafex as my "Batman in toy form".  This is the second release of this figure, it fixes a lot of the quality…
