Finally got my Marvel Knights Legends! I gotta say...it's kind of a mixed bag:



Okay, well not really. It's actually a damn good wave of figures, especially if you're into the Netflix stuff like I am. The problem is that the figure I was looking forward to 2nd most (behind Bullseye) kind of turned out to be a fail IMO. I'm sure you can figure out from that picture which one it is.

Hasbro's faceprinting on the live action figures is absolutely superb I must say. It almost rivals SHFiguarts, it's THAT good. I am thoroughly impressed with how Jessica Jones and Punisher came out. They look just like Krysten Ritter and Jon Bernthal, you can't mistake them for anybody else. Daredevil too. Though he's wearing a mask, you can totally tell it's Charlie Cox under there. Not sure how much Elektra looks like Elodie Yung on that unmasked face. That being said, it DOES look like Elektra, so it works for me. As far as Bullseye goes, I absolutely love him. I don't own the ToyBiz version but now I don't really need to. He's leaps and bounds ahead of that version IMO. I love that classic "gun pointing" hand and both head sculpts are great.

As for Man Thing...Just look at him. He reminds me of the Groot figure in that every time you look at him, it seems like new details are popping up, especially with the awesome wash applied to the figure. Some of these figures have some really tight joints though, so I'm gonna have to apply some hairdryer action.

My disappointment with the wave stems entirely from Blade and really it's just one aspect of the figure that really kills it for me. I love the sculpting on the upper body, as well as the two heads. The vest has this really nice texture to it. My problem is within the lower body. You see the way he's posed in my picture? That's my best attempt to stand him up straight. He can't do it for shit. His ass is sculpted in such a way where you can't put the hips further back than that, so he's always either leaning over (which means he can't stand because the ankle movement on those boots is just terrible) or he looks like he's ready for a twerking competition. What the hell, Hasbro?! I usually don't get this picky with my figures, but it's a HUGE issue on Blade and it sucks because if that one problem wasn't there, I would be all over this figure.

Overall, solid wave but....Blade
