- Review: Marvel Legends Red Skull from Marvel's What If? Khonshu Build-a-Figure wave
"The Champion of HYDRA has risen." Following his appearance in Season 1 of Marvel’s What If? a new Marvel Legends figure of Red Skull was released as part of the second of two Disney+ waves in 2022 alongside other What If figures as well as from Loki and WandaVision, with a build-a-figure included of Khonshu from Moon Knight. The wave would use plastic-free packaging so the figure was simply illustrated on the box, with the BAF checklist moving to replace one of the two art panels on the left-hand side. The Marvel Legends What If figures to date have yet to establish a true style compared to say the Spider-Man Spider-Verse figures which are truly entrenched in their animation style. The What If figures are either built from the ground up in an animated style such as T’Challa Star-Lord or are repurposed MCU figures given a more animated colour scheme. Red Skull is the latter of these two options, borrowing the full long coated body from the 2018 SDCC exclusive release - but instead of a repainted head as has happened with Killmonger, Red Skull then gets a new animated style sculpt. The body is pretty much cast in tones of black with silver painted buttons, straps and a hydra insignia on his belt buckle. Some muted red is used to trim the sleeves and to pick out a sculpted Hydra symbol on the left shoulder - while strangely the right shoulder Hydra symbol is a flat decal. None of this red detail is particularly impressive, with a dull finish due to overpainting onto black, and with quite a bit of paint bleed and some very ragged line work. The head is cast in a much brighter red aligned to the What If style of animation and features exaggerated skull-like features with a very pronounced brow and sunken cheeks compared with the MCU release which was based on the prosthetics worn by the actor Hugo Weaving. Due to the use of the older body, we find a pinned set of articulation for Red Skull with 18 points in total. While the pinned knees and supporting joints provide, on paper, extensive leg articulation - the fully enclosed coat that runs to Red Skull’s ankles limits much of the lower leg movement. The arms are similarly pinned at the elbows and with very old school and quite ugly bicep swivels sitting just below the Hydra symbols. Red Skull has a single accessory, a re-use of the translucent blue Tesseract that came with the original MCU figure and that has featured with Loki from Infinity War. This is well-scaled for the 6-inch line and is pretty much what it needs to be in terms of a blue cube. Red Skull retains the original splayed right hand to grip the cube, leaving the left hand in a clenched fist. The figure really needed a secondary accessory such as Red Skull's revolver as seen in the show, or something more innovative like the discarded 'human' skin mask to hold in his hand. If you are collecting the What If figures as I am, Red Skull provides another variation of style with an MCU body but an animated style head and that mismatch doesn’t help the figures. Hasbro should have really agreed on a style for What If and stuck to it, and if that meant they wanted to re-use the MCU characters then that decision should have been similar to how they tackled animated shows in the Black Series by executing them in a realistic style. Putting the aesthetic choice aside, the What If Red Skull is a decidedly average release with aged and limited articulation and an accessory with similarly limited options for display.

- NECA Gargoyles general release for Goliath and Demona 'Vows' 2-Pack, and Silver Falcon Detective Broadway
Two of NECA's Gargoyles sets have been listed for pre-order ahead of an August 2024 release date. The two-pack of Demona and Goliath was first previewed on a BestBuy listing back in late 2023, with limited stocks release by BestBuy we understand in the Spring of 2024 - this appears to have been another 'first to market' exclusive. The set is now finally getting a general (US only) release and features updated figures of Demona and Goliath complete with alternative faces, hands, and accessories. Their wings are also folded as cloaks and they come with two versions of their 'Vows' token - one whole and one split in half.

He features three head options, trench coat, Fedora hat, and a selection of food accessories. "One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled..." The time of the Gargoyles has come again! Arguably the best gothic cartoon of the 1990s, Gargoyles followed an ancient clan of gargoyles transported to modern-day Manhattan when their Scottish castle is relocated. Before they were enemies, Goliath and the clan's nemesis Demona were partners, and this deluxe box set commemorates their vows. These highly articulated 7” scale Gargoyles action figures feature their respective closed wings, and come with plenty of accessories: interchangeable faces and hands, mace, laser blaster, plus broken and unbroken Phoenix Gates.
