Review - Avengers: Infinity War Marvel Legends by Hasbro

Spring tends to be my favorite time of year and I'm not sure if that's because the cold Canadian winter is behind us, or because the next Marvel Studio's release is right around the corner. Maybe I'm just being nostalgic, but I have fond memories of seeing Iron Man, Thor, and The Avengers in high school and College. This year Marvel isn't holding anything back with the release of Avengers: Infinity War, ten years of story telling has lead to this unprecedented event.

Review - Avengers: Infinity War 6 Inch Figures by Hasbro

This is it, ten years and 18 films have all lead to this moment. Avengers: Infinity War hits theaters this spring and it is bound to be the biggest comic book superhero film of all time. Heroes from all corners of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will assemble to battle the mad titan Thanos and I absolutely cannot wait to experience it. I can still remember my friends looking over to me in the theater at the end of Iron Man, asking me what the "Avengers Initiative" was, and my trying to pick my jaw up off the floor. I never expected an onscreen universe as immense as this, and done so perfectly. A film of this magnitude is obviously going to have an incredible amount of merchandise associated with it and today I'm going to take a look at one small portion of it.

Review - Marvel Legends Daredevil and Punisher by Hasbro

Just in time for the release of The Defenders on Netflix, Hasbro unleashed their wave of Marvel Knights themed Marvel Legends. The wave showcases a great mix of both live action and comic designs, and features a great Build-a-Figure Man-Thing. Today I'm going to be taking a look at both Daredevil and The Punisher from the excellent live action series.

Review - Marvel Legends Thor and Loki Ragnarok Figures by Hasbro

Thor and Hulk are hitting the road this coming November and it looks like it's going to be one wild ride. Thor: Ragnarok is the next big release in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the filmmakers are absolutely trying something new. The first teaser trailer landed and blew everybody away. Shifting tones more towards something like Guardians of the Galaxy looks like it's going to pay off in a big way. With the film around the corner, the toys have started making their way to retail and today we're going to be taking a look at the Marvel Legends 6" versions of Thor and Loki.

Review - Marvel Legends Exclusive Invisible Woman by Hasbro

The Fantastic Four have had a rough couple of years. First their comic gets cancelled and then their big new movie flops with critics and audiences alike. Not quite the treatment you would expect for Marvel's First Family. Well, hopefully things are on the upward swing with Hasbro releasing a series of exclusive figures at Walgreens (EB Games up here in the great white north) starting with Sue Storm the Invisible Woman. I was a little hesitant at first to pick her up, but as soon as The Human Torch was announced I snatched one up as quick as I could. With the rumored Super Skrull figure, and Mr. Fantastic himself being announced at SDCC, all that awaits is the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing.

Review - Spider-man Homecoming 3.75" Spider-man & Vulture 2-Pack by Hasbro

Spider-man Homecoming hit theaters this week and I was able to check it out Thursday night in Imax and it is absolutely spectacular! Marvel Studios nailed it. Tom Holland is undoubltely the best big screen interpretation of Peter Parker and Michael Keaton as the Vulture is the best best Spider-man villain since Doc Ock. I cannot wait to see what what they do next. Hopefully they can finally bring back J. Jonah Jameson and the Daily Bugle, because we all want pictures of Spider-man!

Opinion - Build-a-Figures

Way back in 2005 Toy Biz first introduced the concept of the Build-a-Figure with wave 9 of their monumental Marvel Legends line of action figures. The concept was simple enough, each figure in the wave came with a piece of a character, collect all the toys in the wave an you've got yourself a bonus figure. Usually a character that would tower over the regular 6 inch figures. Toy Biz's first BAF character was none other than the devourer of worlds, Galactus.

Review - Spider-man Homecoming Homemade Suit Spider-man and Vulture Marvel Legends by Hasbro

The Spider-man Homecoming premier was held last night in Hollywood, and the reviews have started pouring in. By all accounts this is the best Spider-man movie since Spider-man 2 way back in 2004. This is great news, not only for the future of Spidey in film, but for Spider-man in the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole. So today we're going to take a look at another couple of the Marvel Legends Homecoming figures; Homemade Suit Spider-man and the villainous Vulture.

Review - Spider-man Homecoming Marvel Legends Figure by Hasbro

Spider-man's first solo outing in the MCU is just a few short weeks away and Hasbro's Marvel Legends figures have started hitting retail in full force. Their latest series is Spider-man focused, but only has 3 figures based on actual designs from the movie. There's a standard Spider-man, a Homemade Suit Spider-man, and the villainous Vulture. I was going to review all three figures at once, but I think there's plenty to talk about each one so I'm going to start with standard Spidey tonight.
