Managed to grab a bunch of Legends from Walgreens before the Easter holiday (which...btw...Happy Easter!) so here's a couple of thoughts on them, since they are some of the most anticipated figures of the year in the X-Men wave and Infamous Iron Man (Doom).

Let's start out with the exclusive...



Infamous Iron Man (Dr. Doom): I'm gonna just put this out there right now...out of all the pick ups I had last week, this one was my favorite. Not only is it a pretty daft repaint of one of the better Iron Man figures that we've ever received, he comes with a ton of stuff, which even if they are re-used bits, really spruce up the figure quite a bit. The cape is REALLY well sculpted too. If you have the Okoye wave Iron Man, you know what to expect.

It is not without complaints though, and nearly all of them come in execution. First off, the hood portion is glued to the armored helmet underneath, meaning there's no folding it back or removing it. In addition, the cape has no peg on it, meaning it lays flat on the shoulders in a way similar to the Ragnarok Loki. It's very fidgety and falls off if you look at it funny, and you will need the hooded head to kinda hold it down onto the shoulders. This is a rare case in which I honestly would have preferred soft goods over sculpted ones. I also wish that the effects would have been casted in a clear green matching the color scheme of the figure. They work well with the figure, but the reddish purple/pink just feels off to me.

Those gripes aside, it's a great figure, and I highly recommend it. I'm tempted to army build it honestly...because I also feel it would make a great Doombot for when we receive an updated Doom, which I know will be most likely coming soon. Speaking of Doom...here's how he compares with the old one.



For those of you wondering...I haven't tried a headswap between the old Doom and the new one, simply because it looks like it would take a bit of work due to differing head sizes. I would hate to damage that old figure before we have confirmation of a new one. I'll leave that up to the professionals.
