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…

Review – MCU – Captain Marvel (2019)

Spoiler Free Thoughts and Review Infinity War and Endgame are, not surprisingly, coming out very close to each other.  At least when compared to the previous Avengers outings they are close to each other.   This is kind of understandable given how disruptive the end of Infinity War was.  Even Agents of SHIELD essentially took a prolonged break to wait for things to be fixed.  A couple of films have squeezed in between, both featuring things that will likely show up prominently in Avengers End Game.  The first was Ant-Man and the Wasp, which according to the post credits scene, effectively…

Mafex – Gwenpool

So, I don't really do "Figure of the Year" stuff, but if I did, Mafex Gwenpool would very likely be my "Figure of the Year".  I can't express how worried I was about this figure leading up tot he release.  All of the previous Mafex figures I have picked up had some sort of issue, most often, arms or heads that don't stay attached well.  The sculpts on the figures are all great, but the quality is a little dodgy.  I've mentioned before that as much as I like Mafex being cheaper than say, Figuarts, I wish they would accept…

Review – Marvel Legends – First Ten Years – Ant-Man (Ant-Man and Yellowjacket)

Unlike Thor, Ant-Man did get a dedicated wave during the time of his movie.  It just, only had one movie figure in it, Ant-Man, and the rest of the wave was Ant-Man themed comic characters, sort of, the 3 villains of the wave weren's Ant-Man villains.  the Build a Figure was AoE Ultron, though in the comics Hank Pym built Ultron, not Tony Stark.  Anyway, the point is, there wasn't a Yellowjacket figure, comic or otherwise.  Marvel has seriously shied away from doing figures of the movie villains for whatever reason.  This set remedies that problem. It also remedies another…
