Marvel Toys, formerly known as Toy Biz, is applying their much celebrated Marvel Legends body, known for their articulation (including ankles and sometimes fingers) and their infamous Build-A-Figure campaigns (affectionately called BAF) to some strong independent comic heroes.Eerie video appears to show mystery creature stalking mooseĪ bizarre video has gone viral, claiming to show a "six-foot eerie faceless creature" reportedly "stalking a moose" in the Canadian wilderness. The Legendary Comic Book Heroes shines its spotlight on Judge Dredd, Madman, the Savage Dragon, Witchblade, Super Patriot, and Ripclaw. The gargantuan (and super-articulated) PITT can be assembled once you purchase each of the six figures. Let me tell you about the figures I especially enjoyed, first. I really got into the Image/independent comic scene in the early nineties. I own Spawn #1, I bought the holofoil embossed ShadowHawk, I would generally check out the first run of any title that caught my eye. It began with tracking down black and white early issues of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So when we got to see these heroes at Toy Fair a few months ago, I was intrigued. I couldn't keep my eyes off that PITT, but I'll get to him in a minute. I have the original Cyberforce comics that RipclawĬame from.
But after Rob Liefeld's Bedrock, er Badrock, It was hard differentiating him from WolverineĪt first. Between the pupilless eyesĪnd flowing hair, I'm pretty pleased. Ripclaw has sharpened blades instead of fingers, on hisįigure, each one is independently articulated.
The sheer power his arms exert and the over-the-top styling I think Ripclaw would need hulking legs to support On this figure is that the legs appear a little on the slim Paying attention to each individual character when deciding Hinge between his ribcage and his shoulders, that allowsįor some additional poses. Small complaint, I still like this figure. I don't know if I'm more mystified by the success of Super Patriot's design or the fact that I (yeeeessss, moi) is mystified by his design. If you told me that there's a cool book I gotta read staring a cyborg wearing an American Flag, I'd probably curl my lip at you and "put it on my list." But I really liked the Super Patriot comics (I have the first couple issues of this too), I loved how Cory Walker drew robotics, and I really like how Marvel Toys translated those illustrations into plastic.
The rifle arms capture the artist's look perfectly. When I shot his profile, it looks just like a frame from the pages of the comic. There's a maskless variant available, and I really appreciate how Marvel Toys provided an alternate arm on the variant, so it's not simply a head swap. I kind of wish Marvel Toys did a police uniform There is the white wife-beater shirt and the shirtless However) yet had never picked up a Dragon figure in the Issues (my favorite is that TPB of the first four or five I think this is my favorite figure of the bunch for capturing the true look of the character from the comics. That's more of the original character's design and not Marvel Legs were a little thicker, however it kind of matches theīigger from top down look that the Dragon possesses, so The cheekbones, longingĮyes, and dynamic fin are pulled off perfectly. Look, but what can you do? This is a great Savage Dragon There are two knuckle joints perįinger! I wish I could move the shoulders/arms just a littleīit to do my favorite fist-in-hand-across-the-chest-tough-guy I like the additional ankle articulation,Īnd the fingers are nice.
