no neck issue with my jim lee punisher

Just got back from a toy show here in SA, Tx. Got a SDCC Dreadknight figure for $24, loose Cyclops from the Dark Phoenix 2 pack for $14, extra Cooperhead for $5 for a custom that I'm working on. Saw the Hydra 2 packs at the show, but ain't spending $60 on it. I'll just wait it out till they start hitting TRU in abundance as I want at least 6 of those for Army building.

So i was straightening out my comic/toy room today and i decided it was time to open a few of these. I've been hoarding them this whole year. Now i just need morw figure stands !

Came back from my last OTR run to find my Chinabay Ronan waiting for me, and I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with the quality of some of the bootlegs China is putting out these days. My figure had tight joints all around, and some surprisingly crisp paint apps all over. The hammer was a bit more muddled, but it was something I could live with considering the price I paid (about 26 dollars shipped.) While the articulation could be a bit better, it wasn't great on the original figure either, and I'm happy to finally have this guy at a fraction of the stupidity that scalpers seem to think he's worth. I'm sure that like Ares, we will eventually be getting a re-release of this guy with some tweaks, but until then, I'm happy to have him in my collection, and can vouch for anyone who might be on the fence about him. It was worth it!

HAIL HYDRA!

I haven't seen any still of Hela with facepaint. I'm pondering repainting the head without it.

Great shot! You’re welcome...Hail Hydra!

Who Do y'all think is the Worst Marvel Legend figure from this year is?

You know what's funny about this pick? Earlier today I was just thinking that I need to put the Red Skull head on a soldier body and take some pictures of it to see how it looks.

I really wish they would reissue that Arnim Zola some how.

It's a three way tie for me...

1. Mantis Wave Starlord (the scarf version)
2. Major Victory
3. Ragnarok Odinson

With an honorable (or should I say dishonorable) to the recently released Venompool.

That is an awesome pic! Herr Skull looks cool sporting the Hydra grunt buck. Lot better than wearing the IM armor.

If you use the head from the Iron Skull figure, you will need to dremel it a bit to make it fit onto the Hydra Soldier body.

The Winter Soldier version (that one with the Nick Fury coat) fits perfectly without any work needed.

Zola is a sweet figure. I had a hell of a time finding the Arnim torso, since it was a running change with the RS version.

I keep my Iron Skulls as Hydra iron drones. I've used all of the Red Skull heads I have on other bodies. I really like it on the Hydra Soldier best, with my Black Series Death Squad trooper running a close second for a more classic, military look.

Thanks for the compliment!

Worse fig? Ms Marvel khan, WTF!

For me it's gonna be either Spidey-UK or the recent Young Thor. Spidey-UK is too simple and boring for me and then the Young Thor just looks lame every time I see it, he looks like a doofus with the way his shirt appears to be sort of just painted on and the face he's making. I don't think either of these are outright bad toys but they are my picks for least good Legends so far this year.

So I got all happy since I was able to order 2 of the Hydra 2-packs from Toys R Us...or at least I thought, until TRU sent me an email telling me that they're unavailable.

Why are they so bad at fulfilling preorders?

That Ronan looks great! I had no idea they've done that. Now how does one knows if to go for the 10$ version or the 30$? Also can those pieces be interchanged with the original pieces, since I have the body, one arm and the hammer?
How is the plastic? Is it very brittle and hollow or more sturdy?
Ronan is the only BAF I never finished so I am very tempted...

Astral Dr. Strange

Jane Foster Thor. Mine was garbage out the box.

I actually had no issue putting the head on the Hydra soldier body when I tried it last night. It's tight, but it fits. But, I prefer the Iron Man armor look. I like Skull better wearing black than green.

Very impressed with Death's Head II. Today i finally popped him open, looked him up and down and i'm very pleased with the size,paint app on him and everything. Now all we need is a DH I to place next to him. I placed him on a stand because i had some extras, however he didn't need it.

Odinson without a doubt is who I was going to say too I also think the Big guy from the Hydra two pack are my top two worst
I agree with you 100% the plainness of U.K. Spiderman is the reason I don't own him anymore. But I think if everyone made a list of the worst Legends of the year Odinson would be on that list due to Terrible paint apps and the reused head

I haven't seen a ten dollar version of Ronan, the one I bought was about 26 dollars shipped at the time, but has been going up a bit in price since then.

As far as the parts being interchangeable, I don't see why not, but the figure is already built complete, so I'm not sure why you would want to. I'm not sure though in the long run though, as the few peices of him that I had were traded away a long time ago.

The plastic for the figure was on par with the same type of plastic that Hasbro was using at that time. It's consistent and not brittle. The joints were very tight, almost scary tight on the legs as the ball joints feel like a ratchet style. They moved though without any sorts of miss or heating.

I recommend it, and if you don't mind the knowledge of having a KO in your collection, I'd say go for it. In the end, it beats dumping a hundred bucks or more on the original.

Nice! Which site did you pick him up on?

Odinson without a doubt. I understand Hasbro needs to save money on movie-intensive waves, but this was a joke. And while I'm not one of those people who gives a crap about height or anything like that, the body was way too thick and muscular to pass as a young Thor.

#2 might go to Shocker.

He was a Chinabay purchase. The seller was viperskingdom, who I have purchased from before on several occasions and have never had an issue with. The price has jumped a little bit since I purchased though. When I first picked him up near the end of September, it was for 28 dollars with shipping. The price has since jumped up a bit, to about 40 dollars. He has also sold a boatload of them since then, which probably justifies that. Still a good deal if you ask me.

That gold guy from the Guardians of the Galaxy wave 2 is the worst ML fig this year IMO.

Oh I completely forgot that Ex Nihilo even happened, I guess then I have to add him to my picks for "worst" since he's so damn forgettable.
