Marvel Legends – Smart Hulk Wave – Loki (Comic)

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".

Review – Marvel Legends – Gladiator Hulk Wave – Loki

Apparently, in order to get a proper figure, the Loki had to turn into the Hero.  Ok, I have not seen Ragnarok, but it sort of feels like Loki was working with his brother again in a few spots int he Trailer.  Maybe I'm completely misreading it.  Also, that low blow probably isn't warranted since Hasbro has been pushing out a lot more figures of MCU villains lately.  We get Hela in this very wave, Vulture was a pretty cool Build A Figure, and even Ego got a figure.  Maybe the voice of the people is finally being heard, maybe…
