[Trivial Psychic]

Finally got to open up Polaris and Dazzler tonight...here's some thoughts.

Polaris: I had read about what a hot mess this figure could be, and unfortunately, I got one of the messy ones. Her head sat really loosely on her shoulders, while the cape didn't quite plug into her back as firmly as I would have liked. Both of them required fixes, but once done, she's a pretty manageable figure. The Hope Summers/Jean Grey gauntlets work much better this time around, being of a soft plastic that doesn't hinder the articulation. I wish the boots would have got the same attention, rather than being just painted on. Everything else came out pretty good though, although I might paint the hair a lighter shade of green in the future, as it being so dark kind of subdues the effect of the headdress a bit.



Time to retire these effects for some new ones Hasbro. They have been fun, but let's see what else you guys can come up with...



Dazzler: Oh man...I had so much fun with this figure, as the rock star persona really allows for some fun poses. The paint apps are crisp, the newly sculpted parts are good, and the effect, which again, needs to go in favor of something new, looks great with it's multi-colored paint job. I also dig the roller skates, which allow her some pretty good balance for poses, although in the photos below, you'll noticed that I've modded Dazzler's foot pegs a bit (they are really long) to easily swap the skates out for high heels, much in the way that the interchangeable hands work on other Legends figures. The heels look great with Dazzler's disco look, and the figure balances pretty decently on them, much better than Black Cat ever did...



And now...time for a song...sing along if you know the words!!!

"Nice to meet you...where you been?...I can show you incredible things..."



"Magic, madness, heaven, sin...Saw you there and I thought..."



"Oh my god, look at that face...you look like my next mistake..."



"Love's a game...wanna play....?"
