Aleksei Sytsevich was just another thug in the Russian Mafia, grasping at dreams of easy money, and headed for a short brutal life. Seduced by promises of wealth and power, Aleksei underwent a life-threatening series of chemical and radiation treatments to transform him after several months into the superhumanly strong agent for a collective of professional spies – in part, to support his family. Aleksei’s powerful armor permanently bonded to his form, was modeled after the hide of a rhinoceros. Two scientists named Igor and Georgi chose this form, both for its visual impact and in recognition of the fact that the Rhino is the result of countless generations of evolution towards the ultimate form for armored assault.

Marvel Legends Rhino BAF
Pros
Really good head sculpts
Very comic accurate
Good paint deco
Cons
none
Overall
The Rhino BAF Is a nice addition to anybody’s Spider-Man collection. It’s the best Hasbro Rhino figure to date and has two heads to choose from. The figure does not have a huge amount of articulation but it does stand on it’s own in several good standing poses. This is on the buy list.
