  • Review : MJ, Spider-Man Homecoming

    In 2019, two years after the movie's release, Hasbro released a Marvel Legends 2-Pack of Spider-Man and MJ from the first Spider-Man movie Homecoming. The set would be a debut for MJ, while Spider-Man was a variant to the previous Homecoming releases as he is wearing his Yellow Midtown Blazer. The set was exclusive to Target stores in the US, but was available internationally via the Fan Channel. Checkout the corresponding Spider-Man review Packaging 3/5 The box for MJ and Peter is a standard Marvel Legends 2-Pack box with the scooped sides and shaped widow. The Legends logo sits on the top rail, while the movie logo sits underneath the figure window. To either side is a red panel for the character name - Spider-Man on the right and Marvel's MJ on the left. The side art is interesting and very in tune with the theme of the movie. Rather than the usual character profile, we have a series of images as though taken on the trip with a logo for Midtown and a ticket stub for the Washington Memorial interspersed. Sadly these are the same on both sides with the right hand spine seeing all the images mirrored so they look a bit off. The back of the box moves away from the usual Legends format and strays into that used by the First Ten Years / 80th Anniversary sets with the use of a Movie Poster. To the side of this are another couple of passport photo type shots of Spider-Man and MJ and under this is a short piece of background text. "Students at the Midtown School of Science and Technology, Peter Parker and MJ experience the powers of Spider-Man first hand when the web-slinger must suit up to take down the Vulture" Paint & Sculpt 3/5 Out of the box MJ comes with a very stern looking head with hair flowing around both sides. It uses face print technology but is a bit too angry looking to be a great likeness to Zendaya. I don't recall her being overly angry in the movie, and I think this is an attempt to get that look she gives Peter and Ned when she is listening to them in the library. Thankfully there is a second head included ad this one is a much better and recogniseable MJ wt the hair tied back and a smile on her face. The costume is very much a re-use of the Netflix Jessica Jones figure with tweaked jacket, arms and boots. You can even swap heads out with Jessica for an alternative MJ. The trousers and shirt are cast in their base colour and are reasonably accurate to what MJ wears on screen although when she was wearing this jacket in the first half of the movie she wa wearing a white top. The jacket is an individual cast piece cast in light khaki. It is then painted with black panels down the arms and a gold zip. It should really be a lot darker green colour with black panels. While the outfit is OK and not noticeably from another figure, considering this set is released 2-years after the movie a bit more screen accuracy would have been appreciated for the colours at least. Accessories 1/5 MJ comes with 4 hands, but only 1 pair with the other three all being right hands - and that is a bit odd to start with. We have a pair of outstretched hands with very long fingers that have been repurposed from the Netflix Claire Temple figure and that frankly look odd and over sized for MJ. The other two hands are both right hands, one a fist and one an open grip - yet MJ comes with nothing to grip. I would have prefered a pair of open grips or fists so I had a choice to get rid of those giant stretched finger hand on the left arm. While I appreciate MJ has two heads and these multiple hands, it might have been nice to include something for her to hold and carry - perhaps her notebook she carries in most of the Homecoming scenes? Articulation 3/5 MJ comes in with an articulation count of 16 points. As a female figure she misses out on the double joint elbows and only gets a torso ball joint with no movement in the waist. Head : ball joint neck with pivot Body : torso ball joint Arms : ball joint shoulder, rotating single elbow joint, wrist pivot Legs : ball joint hips, thigh swivel, double joint knees, ankle rockers All of MJ's joints work fine and are pretty secure. There isn't a lot of posing I'd want to do with MJ as she doesn't really warrant action poses - and with that odd left and all she can really do is extreme gesturing. There is some issues with the ankle rockers that do not go far enough forward. This means to balance MJ you have to sort of push her hips out and ten bend her body back in or sort out a leaning back pose or wider stance for balance. This is quite frustrating. MJ poses nicely with Spider-Man from the same set, and as per the actor's heights in real life, she does stand a bit taller than Peter which is good accuracy. Summary MJ, like a number of secondary characters int he Marvel Legends line, could only be realised in a set like this alongside a re-hashed figure and she is heavily repurposed herself from previous figures. The figure suffers from some minor screen inaccuracies in the colour choices, which is a shame seeing as this figure has been developed after the movie release. She also suffers from stability issues thanks to some blockage at the ankle rocker joint that prevents her standing straight. In terms of overall look she has one wonderful head sculpt, and one less so with the angry head most certainly the one many collectors will send to the spares box. The hand choices ar ebizarre, and the single biggest issue with the figure is that peculiar left hand. With no other options to swap it out for, I find it really distracting no matter what pose you put MJ into. I score MJ an average 3 out of 5.

The set would be a debut for MJ, while Spider-Man was a variant to the previous Homecoming releases as he is wearing his Yellow Midtown Blazer.

The Legends logo sits on the top rail, while the movie logo sits underneath the figure window. To either side is a red panel for the character name - Spider-Man on the right and Marvel's MJ on the left. The side art is interesting and very in tune with the theme of the movie.

The back of the box moves away from the usual Legends format and strays into that used by the First Ten Years / 80th Anniversary sets with the use of a Movie Poster. To the side of this are another couple of passport photo type shots of Spider-Man and MJ and under this is a short piece of background text. "Students at the Midtown School of Science and Technology, Peter Parker and MJ experience the powers of Spider-Man first hand when the web-slinger must suit up to take down the Vulture" Paint & Sculpt 4/5 Spider-Man is presented in his mask with sculpted weblines and the two shaped eye pieces which are then painted in white. The body is a full Spider Suit with sculpted weblines and Spider-log on his chest and this is cat in red and blue with painted detailing, including some very crisp lines on the blue parts of the suit. The blazer and hoody are two individual pieces of rubbery plastic over pieces. Despite there combined width, they are designed to sit well against the body and each other and do not detract from the look or shape of the figure. Both parts are cast in their base colour, with paint applied in silver for the zip of the hoodie. The hoodie is technically the wrong colour, coming in a dark blue rather than the lighter blue we see in the promo images. The yellow blazer has a decal applied on the left breast pocket for Midtown High. Buttons on the blazer front and on both cuffs are also painted. The head and most of the body are taken directly from the 2017 Spider-Man figure, but the lining on the blue of the suit is much more defined on this 2019 version. The heads are identical and can be interchanged with the alternative mask and unmasked head from the 2017 two pack. Accessories 3/5 Spider-Man comes with a two pairs of hands, a pair of web slinging hands and a pair of clenched fists. He comes with one of each applied to the figure, with the alternatives to the side in the box. The hands are also identical to the 2017 version and are cast in a red plastic with sculpted weblines and some grey paint washed into the weblines for definition. They are easy enough to swap in and out. Considering the yellow blazer is used predominantly in the marketing for Homecoming, and is often shown with Peter wearing headphones and a rucksack, it is a shame these are not included. Articulation 5/5 Even though he is rocking a school blazer, Spider-Man remains fully articulated with a total of 21 points of articulation, including retention of the chest joint and butterfly shoulders from the original figure Head : ball joint neck with pivot Body : T-Joint ratchet chest, waist swivel Arms : butterfly shoulder, ball joint shoulder, bicep swivel, double joint elbows, wrist pivot Legs : ball joint hips, thigh swivel, double joint knees, ankle rocker The first port of call is the laid back pose we see on the movie poster, and this is pretty much achievable other than his butt sits a bit too far off the ground. He can also pose for fighting stances or web shooting. Spidey can also kneel fully on one or both legs. All the joints on Spider-Man are tight and secure, and he stands perfectly fine. He poses really well with the accompanying MJ figure, and as is accurate to their respective heights - she does stand taller than Peter. Summary The Yellow Blazer Spider-Man look was synonymous with the marketing for Spider-Man Homecoming and also featured in the movie - so it is a great alternative look for a character like Spider-Man who's costume rarely changes dramatically. It is a re-use figure, but there was not a great deal wrong with the initial figure in terms of sculpt and this version also improves on the paint job. Accessories are a big of a disappointment and I would have like to have seen an unmasked Peter head or rucksack and/or headphones. Aside from this it is a solid figure with good articulation and certainly adds some vibrancy to a display. I score the Homecoming Spider-Man from the MJ two pack an above average 4 out of 5.

Mystique will also feature alternative hands as well as a full swap out arm piece that is transforming to a human.

  • Marvel Legends X-Men 20th Anniversary Action Figures

    With Fox now under Disney ownership, it seems any restrictions on Hasbro making X-Men movie figures has been removed and at New York Toy Fair 2020 the Hasbro Marvel Legends team announced a new range of figures based on the original X-Men movie Universe, including Deadpool, celebrating 20 years of the Fox movies. There will be three single release X-Men figures starting with Wolverine and Mystique from the original X-Men movie from 2000. These will be a general release. The third, Wolverine from X-Men Origins : Wolverine, will be an Amazon Exclusive - and this is already up for pre-order in the US (paid link) We then have a wonderful 2-pack of Magneto and Professor X. The set cleverly includes two heads for each character. Magneto has a Michael Fassbender head as well as one for Ian McKellen. Professor X gets a James McAvoy head and that of Patrick Stewart. Magneto is certainly based on the Days of Future Past look, while Xavier from Age of Apocalypse. The costumes aren't really a match to the older Stewart and McKellen versions - but the inclusion is a nice touch and may indicate further versions of the characters later if the line does well? This two pack is also a general release. Moving on to Deadpool and we have two single releases in shape of Cable and Domino. Cable is listed as a Walmart exclusive, while Domino has no such exclusivity. The Merc with the Mouth is packed in a two-pack alongside Negasonic Teenage Warhead in her yellow and black X-Men gear. This set will also be a general release. All the X-Men Legends have a release date of Autumn 2020.

  • Hasbro SDCC Exclusives to be unveiled by 17th July with new Walmart page live?

    Hasbro have been quite coy so far on what is going on with the Exclusives they had planned for San Diego Comic Con 2020 before it was cancelled due to Covid-19. However, it seems we are now less than a week away from a reveal for all properties with a new page being added to Walmart.com in the US called Collector Con. The page has a countdown for Friday the 1th of July 2020 (10am EST) at which point it seems all the Hasbro Exclusives will be unveiled and sold via Walmart. The header for Hasbro shows icons for Black Series, Marvel Legends, Transformers and GI Joe - indicating at least one exclusive for each line. Walmart are of course handling US distribution for other collector lines with NECA product going on sale as of the 23rd of July, and others listed on the Walmart site including Beast Kingdom and Funko. For UK fans, the reveal should be made around 3pm on Friday but we will not be able to order or buy directly from Walmart. Thankfully most SDCC items from Hasbro have been granted international releases via the Fan Channel or specific retailers - so if the embargo on these is up as of Friday the 17th, expect some UK pre-orders to open at a similar time.
