Elektra is now up for your viewing pleasure.

Marvel Legends Netflix Elektra Photo Shoot - The Toyark - News

Awesome shoot but I would've preferred the outfit she wore at the end of the season.

Boogieman4hire · 08-02-2017, 08:34 PM

Seeing these pictures of Elektra my first reaction was SAI.... Because I didn't like her the first time I saw her. But now I do and I want her. Hasbro you deserve a HAND of applause for this one.

Elektra's head sculpt is surprisingly great!

LordSagat · 08-03-2017, 07:42 AM

Nobody is going to mention the Popeye forearms on Elektra? Should've been a definite con. Looks ridiculous.

My goodness, i was wondering the same thing!! it's really hard to miss, unless it's something that is only present in camera and doesn't look that bad in person or something. Those proportions from the pics scream Popeye

No it's just as bad in person. I guess some people just aren't bothered by her deformity.

evilekim · 08-03-2017, 10:40 AM

I wonder how well those Sais would fit on Raphael

Boogieman4hire · 08-03-2017, 11:12 AM

Holy crap. They are huge.

EvilMonkeyPope · 08-03-2017, 12:21 PM

Pity they made Elektra in her awful first outfit over her better second one.

DESTRO · 08-03-2017, 08:03 PM

Next to perfect Jessica Jones...

I actually don't see the issue. Is she supposed to be a twig? MJ is the only character that should have had thinner arms, but even then they look fine.

scarecrow · 08-03-2017, 08:49 PM

Wasn't a huge fan of the Jessica Jones series, but damn, is that figure nice! Love the details on the jeans and jacket. The face sculpt isn't half bad either, probably looks even better in person. Nice pics, guys.

evilekim · 08-04-2017, 07:14 AM

That Jessica looks way better than mine. These printed head sculpts are hit or miss, even when it's the same character. Mine is a bit misaligned

I bought her anyway because they are so hard to find.

Cyclopswc · 08-04-2017, 09:08 AM

what is that vein/scar on her neck? Do they all have that?

Dr Kain · 08-04-2017, 09:36 AM

I'm surprised at how accurate they got Jessica from her actress' counterpart. She looks just her with the weird looking face and all.

Sadly, the abcrunch is extemely loose on my Man-Thing so if I move his arms forward by a centimeter his abcrunch drops as low as it can go. -_-

Holy shit. Can't unsee!!!

Also, what the fuck is that line running down the Jessica Jones' neck and into her shirt? It looks like some weird plastic seam or something. The review doesn't mention that.

So...we have Punisher's missing eyeball, Elektra's roided-out forearms, and now Jessica Jones' open heart surgery scar, but all of these figures are "perfect" and have "no cons." I guess Toyark doesn't want to piss off Hasbro or something. That's unfortunate.

Never mind the fact that these new digitally-printed face paint apps are, as evilekim pointed out, REALLY hit-or-miss. I've seen these figures at retail and they almost all have issues, especially the Punisher. And even when the digital paint isn't missing/smudged/misaligned, it looks blurry and less defined than the old-school paint apps.

That's a bummer. I hope they're not all like that.

Dr Kain · 08-04-2017, 02:29 PM

Okay, so scratch what I said earlier. I didn't realize you were talking about Elektra's lower arms and thought she had the same arms as Dazzler and MJ. It wasn't until I opened her that I noticed she had new lower arms and holy shit you guys were right about them being huge.

trowa195 · 08-04-2017, 08:02 PM

Yep. My JJ print is really blurry. Totally sucks when you have zero chance finding in the wild. I saw a Thor figure today and wanted to buy it but I had to put it back because the print was absolutely horrid - And I REALLY wanted to buy it. Such a disappointment and a big "L" for hasbro.

Yep, that's what I was saying. I was really looking forward to this wave, but this new printed face method is kind of disappointing. I couldn't skip JJ though. She's such a rare character to find in figure form. But yeah, the face on mine is a little blurry and off set. I had to buy her though, odds of finding another one is too rare.

Dolemite · 08-04-2017, 09:05 PM

What, they're not really "perfect"...?

Dr Kain · 08-04-2017, 10:13 PM

I'm not sure I understand this printing thing you are talking about.

The way the faces are now done, I think the proper name is something like dot-matrix printing.

And this is new? I always thought a computer was already painting the faces.

K Dubious · 08-05-2017, 09:35 AM

Guys im not paid by Hasbro and I'm sure Toyark isn't either, but these new MCU and netflix figures are on a whole new level than the previous ones. If you compare unmasked Black Panther with unmasked Hela and say the old way is better you are out of your mind. Plus paint apps have always been hit or miss this in nothing new, so you feel Toyark is obligated to speak to it in every review?

I know I have always loved and collected the MCU figures and the improvements in the past couple years is great. I agree with toyark and that as action figures I don't see any cons in the latest batch of legends.
