Marvel Comics - Taskmaster Marvel Select Figure by DST

[firmpulse]

This looks good! Really like the weapons and the alternate headsculpt.

[Thor Laserpunch]

Good looking Tasky.

"Now available"...? I didn't even know this was coming out!

As a massive Taskmaster fan, I love the Marvel Legends version. But that being said, I have to admit that while I'm not really a Marvel Select fan in general, this version of Tasky gives the ML one a serious run for it's money. I'm going to have to ask my local comic store when they're getting this in!

*EDIT* Durrr, exclusive to Shop Disney and Shop Marvel sites. I prefer to buy at retail to check the paint first, but I guess I don't have that option with this figure. Off I go.

Unless I'm mistaken, he should also be available at brick& mortar Disney stores as well.

All the ones near me are in malls, which are all closed due to that pesky pandemic thing.

I ordered two and got free shipping. I figure I can mix and match the best parts and sell the second one. Or, maybe keep them both if I end up liking the "modern" head once I have it in-hand.

Did Diamond change their articulation to be more in-line with Hasbro's style?

The ankle, knee and thigh/pelvic joints all seem to be way more Legends style and way less the usual Select style.

IMO a good thing, but just curious.

Looks like you're right, and that's a good thing indeed. Always preferred Hasbro's overall articulation scheme to Diamond's.

You couldn't, in order to get free shipping your order must be $75 or more before taxes.

I ordered on Monday, and as of today (Friday) it's still "processing." How long does Disney usually take to ship stuff out?

*EDIT* Never mind! Just got a shipping notification. Delivery will be this Sunday by 9:00.

No shit, Sherlock. I added a $9.99 pin to reach $75.

Well, hello there.

Paint is exceptionally clean too, and all eyes are centered. Zero derpiness. Great figure.

Out of the package and ready for action!

Overall, I have to say that the Marvel Select Taskmaster figure is...
