- Review : Marvel Legends Wasp, Ant-Man and the Wasp
Welcome to our review of Wasp, as released in 2018 as part of the 2nd wave of Avengers figures. Wasp is based on her appearance in the 2018 movie Ant-Man and the Wasp. She was packed in a wave alongside Ant-Man as well as Thor and Black Widow from Infinity War, and comic book characters of Malekith and the Black Knight. Parts were included with each figure to make a Cull Obsidian "Build-a-Figure". Wasp was re released as part of a "Best of MCU" wave in 2019, this time containing parts for the Thanos BAF Please note our review copy was purchased from Marvel Legends UK, hence the oversticker on the packaging. We are not affiliated with Marvel Legends UK in anyway. When the original Ant-Man hit our cinema screens, there were no true MCU 6" Legends releases to coincide with the movie. While we got a few comic characters, even the main character of Ant-Man got a semi-accurate version which was more based on the Avengers cartoon. Our first true MCU Ant-Man figure would come later when the BAF Giant Man was included in the Civil War releases. Roll forward now to the sequel and Hasbro obviously didn't think that this Summer release could hold a full wave of Marvel Legends on its own, and has packed the two titular characters within a 2nd wave of Avengers Infinity War figures which also includes MCU versions of Thor and Widow as well as comic book figures of Malekith and the Black Knight. While four of the figures in the wave continue the purple and yellow colour scheme for Infinity War, Ant-Man and the Wasp have their own red and yellow design which is much more visual. The side art has similar colour shading with a side profile of the Wasp on both panels. Round the back we get the usual promotional image against a fiery red background and a breakdown of the Cull Obsidian Build-A-Figure and where each of his 6 parts can be found. The other change vs the Avengers figures is the top logo now becoming the Pym Tech logo, and this is also printed on the inner yellow cardboard tray - something you don't notice immediately. Wasp comes packed in the inner tray with her alternative head to one side, the Cull Obsidian head to the other and her backpack and swap out hands beneath this. Behind this sits a second tray containing her wings. The figure comes packed with the masked head fitted, so let's take a look at this first. The design is similar to that used by Ant-Man but has been slimmed down. The visor is a transparent yellow and there are sculpted and painted eyes and eyebrows clearly visible underneath. The helmet is a pretty basic silver tone and therefore the lines towards the front are not as well defined. Further back we get a transition to a darker grey and this colour is also used to ring the visor and to the side of the mouth piece. The two "antena" are a softer plastic and sadly my left one (as we look at her) was warped out of the pack. Since taking the images and having given it a bit of hot water treatment I have kind of trained it back into place. The Wasp body is sculpted with a huge amount of textured detail, with the whole upper torso being a honeycomb pattern with the various panels painted on top of the dark grey / blue base coat. Each panel and the interconnecting red and gold lines are all neat with no obvious paint bleed or splashes. The detail gets a little less down into the legs which hold the pattern only on the back of the thighs and then down around the calves. There is a gold and red stripe that runs from the crotch downwards and this is a bit messy in places and also suffers from being broken by the thigh split. If you are displaying her without her wings deployed then the backpack piece can be slotted on via a shaped hole in her back. This is quite plain being cast in silver with a single red painted detail. For some reason female bodies on Marvel Legends seem to get a raw deal on articulation, and while Wasp has 16 points on the body this is 2-3 less than most, with some joints pared back to a more basic movement than we may be used to. The head is ball jointed as is the torso, there is no ratcheted T-joint in the torso. The arms are ball jointed at the shoulder but there is no bicep swivel. The elbows are single jointed only and do rotate and we end with pivot wrists. The legs are pretty standard with ball joint hips - albeit a bit ugly with some very apparent gaps between crotch and legs. The legs do get a swivel, at the thigh, and the knees are double jointed. The knees do feel a bit loose out of the pack. We finish with ankle rockers - and even despite the Wasp's slim frame - she is pretty easy to stand. Wasp comes with a pair of fists, and these can be swapped with open palmed hands. The operation is smooth with the hand popping out with a small amount of pull and popping back in with similar force. The same can be said of swapping the head, although I wonder how many will put on the Evangeline Lilly head and then never ever take it off. This unmasked head is a thing of beauty and is for me one of the best likenesses we've had since the line moved to the face print technology. The skin tones are subtle, the eyes quite piercing and they've even captured her mannerisms with the mouth. If you want to get Wasp with her wings deployed then the first backpack needs to be popped off and replaced by the wing set that comes in the box. Like the first backpack this is a plain silver piece with a red stripe - but now into four segments of the back pack are inserted partially translucent wings. The wings arguably add to the articulation count, as each one is jointed and can be moved up and down. There is no ball joint however, only a hinge, so the wings will only move up and down on a single axis. Wasp is very much like Falcon that she takes on a whole new dimension if you get her onto a flight stand. There is nothing packed with the figure, so you will have to source your own. The one we have here is an unbranded generic stand with a waist clip that slides up and down a pole so the height can be adjusted. In this flying pose the wings and the articulation come into their own. The only shame is that really she should be wearing her helmet when flying, but that Lilly head is so gorgeous I am going to flaunt the Pym-Tech rules and have her in hovering pose with the unmasked head in play. As a central character I am so pleased to be getting both Ant-Man and the Wasp from the movie. The Wasp is very well sculpted and painted as a figure with a lot of texture and paint apps in that costume. The second unmasked head is gorgeous and the masked head is pretty decent with that translucent visor - if you forgive the bent antenna. The only let down on this figure is the articulation with the chest joint and elbows in particular reverting to a basic joint. If you are an MCU collector then you need to get Wasp, stick her on a flight stand and have her in full flight (like Falcon) in your display. I score her a solid 4 out of 5.
- McFarlane Monsters Drogon, Game of Thrones
McFarlane Toys have released the details and images of their McFarlane Monsters release of Drogon from Game of Thrones. Like his brother Viserion, Drogan will stand about 6 inches high and has an impressive 13 inch wing span. He had articulated legs, wings and neck and a bendable tail. Drogan is due to arrive in June 2019 "Along with his brothers Viserion and Rhaegal, Drogon was raised since birth by Daenerys Targaryen, and is also the Mother of Dragons’ personal mount. Named after Daenerys’s late husband Khal Drogo, Drogon is distinguished by his black and red colored scales, and red-black wings."
- Review : Marvel Legends First Ten Years of the MCU Red Skull (Hydra Soldier), Captain America
Welcome to our review of the Marvel Legends Red Skull from Captain America, The First Avengers. This 6 inch version of Red Skull was released in 2018 as part of the "First Ten Years" celebration for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While he was a single figure release, he had additional parts included to convert the figure into a Hydra Solider. Packaging 4/5 The "First Ten Years" packaging steered away from the usual scooped Marvel Legend boxes to a more conventional rectangular box. The base colouring remained black with a red border around the figure window. To the top left sits the "Ten Years" logo, with the Legends logo to the opposite side. The character name, Red Skull, is included at the base of the window within the red trim. There is no mention of the parts for the Hydra Soldier which are also included. Next to the character name is a movie specific symbol, in this instance it is Captain America's shield. The movie log then finishes the box front to the bottom right. The right spine o the box carries images in panels from the first 10 years of the MCU and a repeat of the movie logo. These images build into a larger panel if you collect all the sets and line them up side by side. On the opposite spine is a red data panel containing some background info for the 2011 Captain America : The First Avenger movie. "HYDRA LEADER JOHANN SCHMIDT CREATES TESSERACT-POWERED WEAPONS TO DESTROY AMERICAN CITIES. BUT DOESN'T ANTICIPATE INTERFERENCE FROM NEWLY-DUBBED HERO, CAPTAIN AMERICA. IN THEIR FIRST MEETING, SCHMIDT REMOVES HIS MASK TO REVEAL CRIMSON SKIN, A SIGNATURE HUE THAT HAS EARNED HIM THE NAME, "RED SKULL." This side panel also includes the numbering for this set. Each of the 2018 sets are numbered based on the date of the movie they represent. Red Skull is set number 2. This numbering is repeated on the back of the box. Here we have more specific text about Red Skull himself alongside an image that replicates the movie poster. "Obsessed with the power of the Tesseract, Johann Schmidt teams up with Dr. Arnim Zola to create a super-charged arms force that will change the fate of World War II... and the world" Once opened and the contents slid out, you can see that Red Skull sits in an impressive inner cardboard tray that also carries black and white images from the various MCU movies. Red Skull then sits in the centre of an inner plastic tray with the various heads and parts assembled around him. There are no twist ties, with the parts held in by the shaping of the tray. Paint & Sculpt 4/5 The likeness on the head sculpt for Red Skull is impressive, capturing the look and the sneer of Red Skull on a glossy blood red skull. The eyes are a little basic considering what we've seen recently with face print technology - but considering their location set deep back in the sockets they are at least lined up and neatly painted. Hasbro have made the decision to put Red Skull in his Hydra uniform without his long coat, which I feel was a more iconic look for him. The decision to put the long coat version then in the SDCC exclusive set for £50 was a real kicker, and I hope this version can be released at a later stage. The uniform we do get is cast in olive grey with neat red pin striping throughout. The buttons on the tunic are painted bronze, although the colour of the buttons seems to change from the top 3 to the final one on the lower part of the torso which looks a touch off. On the left arm is an embossed Hydra logo that is also painted very well. A less defined Hydra logo is sculpted on the belt buckle which is painted silver. The trouser are in the same grey as the tunic, but the piping here is black only. The jack boots are glossy black as they should be. The figure is designed so the head can be swapped out to create Hydra soldiers - another reason perhaps why the long coat look was not used in this set. Like all Hasbro figures with swap out heads the maneuver is smooth and the heads pop in and out with relative ease and remain secure and poseable once located on the neck peg. We have three Hydra heads to choose from starting with a helmeted version with exposed nose and mouth. The shape of the head & helmet is good and the lenses well coloured with a red tinge. The face is left a little unfinished with only a base skin tone colour and no definition to the lips. Helmet two is a fully enclosed mask with silver trim and gloss black lenses across the eye pieces. The third head seems to be the same helmet with the mouth and nose piece now removed. Again the exposed skin is a basic colour with now colouring to the lips. I have spent a lot of time looking at stills of the Hydra Soldiers in Captain America and all three head options are accurate to the movie to a degree. The first is seen also wearing the dress uniform and wielding a weapon. The other two are more heavy duty troopers and they should ideally be in a more combat armour type of uniform. Accessories 4/5 In order to change the look of your Hydra troops from the basic dress uniform, the first accessory you get is this chest piece. It is easiest to apply while the figure is headless so you can position around the shoulders and then close the clasp at the waist. The vest is cast in rubbery plastic and has silver detailing added to the shoulder panels and the belt buckle. While it does indeed change the look of the base uniform, it still doesn't quite sit right on the dress uniform and there are some odd parts like you end up seeing two visible silver Hydra belt buckles. The Hydra Soldier is also armed and comes with a Tesseract powered weapon and an alternative right hand with which to hold it. The gun itself is quite basic with limited detail and is warped in places. It is cast in black plastic with silver parts added. It can be posed in one or two handed posing and does enhance the trooper further. It is a little longer than what we see on screen which does throw the look a little. Articulation 4/5 Red Skull comes in with a full 19 points of articulation, starting with that ball jointed head which rotates with all four head options as well as being able to look up and down by a few notches. The torso has both a ball joint and a waist swivel which on the face of it should make the torso very mobile for crouching and leaning. In reality the joints are a bit too close together and the lean back and forth is minimal. Arms are ball jointed at the shoulder with full movement. There is a bicep swivel and a double jointed elbow for full control of the weapon or general posing. We also have a pivot wrist which adds to the arm positioning options. Legs are ball jointed at the hips behind the lower part of the tunic. Under this is a thigh swivel and then double jointed knees. That means Red Skull can kneel, not that he'd kneel to anyone, as well as supporting further action stances for the Hydra soldier. The legs end with ankle rockers that are tight and secure and Red Skull is easy to stand and pose. Summary I was delighted to get a Red Skull in my Legends collection, some 8 years after the movie release. However, I do feel a little short changed by the whole thing. Firstly this is not what I'd class as the iconic look for Red Skull and would have liked to see this release be the long coat version we ended up getting as an excessively priced SDCC 2018 exclusive. Secondly I feel the Hydra Soldiers are a little half-hearted. I know I am getting a little hung up here with what are essentially bonus parts, but as a big fan of the WW2 Captain America scenes I'd have loved the Hydra figure to be done full justice as a single release in the right uniform - or even in a 2-pack like the comic book versions. That all being said, this is a swell sculpted figure with good articulation and neat painting. Considering the retail price was the same as any single figure and the bonus parts you get he is easily worth a 4 out of 5 score - and I'd hope now the basics are there we could see further use of this figure and parts for future Captain America product. Visit our Marvel Legends page for more 6 inch Marvel Cinematic Goodies Read on if you want to look at some hacks for those spare Hydra heads.... Figure Hacks! With three spare heads at your disposal when you purchase this figure - fans have been looking for cheaper options to build up the Hydra forces. One popular solution is to use the Star Wars Black Series Finn figure from The Last Jedi. The First Order uniform is very similar to the Nazi style uniforms used by Hydra - and the Finn figure remains relatively cheap as an option. Even though they are both made by Hasbro, the first issue is the neck joint which is too small for the Legends heads - leading to loose and floppy heads. There is also a disparity in skin colouring. These can both be resolved with some appropriate filling and painting. Aside from the head problem, the figure does work as a stand in Hydra soldier. The vest piece fits, although it does clash a little with the holster that Finn wear on his belt. Another idea that I wanted to explore was to use up the massive amounts of Peg Warming Kylo Ren figures in the UK at the moment. The Kylo uniform is similarly militaristic and perhaps more of a combat uniform than a dress uniform. Like the Finn figure the neck ball joint is smaller, leading to floppy head. The neck skin tone is a better match on this one. The Kylo figure looks better with the vest piece installed and the Kylo hands will hold the Hydra weapons well enough. In the end this is all about personal choice and for me neither figure base did the job. Finn in the end is too short when posed with Red Skull or other Legends. Kylo is better in the height department but a bit skinny. I have also seen people use the Death Star Trooper from the Black Series which I did consider, but with this body you will need to paint or cover the Imperial symbol.

- Shazam! Action figures from Mattel (Spoilers)
MFCT have shared, via facebook, some images of a basic articulation 5.5 inch line of Shazam action figures from Mattel. The figures, based on the upcoming 2019 movie, are at a $10 price point and include title character Shazam as well as other characters such as Freddy and Daala. Each figure seems to include a coloured mini-figure of sorts. The release of these would be consistent with the Mattel strategy as seen recently with Aquaman with both basic line $10 figures and Multiverse $20 figures both released for the movie. It is unclear if these images are because a store has broken shelf dates, or these are simply hitting now in advance of the April release of the movie.
- Review : Bandai 1/12 figure kit, Star Wars Battle Droid & STAP
Welcome to our review of the Bandai 1/12 Star Wars Action Figure Kit of the Battle Droid and STAP (Single Trooper Aerial Platform) as released in 2016. The kit recreates the Battle Droids of the Trade Republic as seen in Episode 1, The Phantom Menace An intro to the Bandai Star Wars Model Kits For those who haven't seen a Bandai 1/12 Figure Kit before, let's just consider the concept for a moment. Rather than buying an action figure here - you are buying a kit, akin to Airfix, which you build using clip together hard plastic parts. The final kit is then actually an articulated action figure rather than a static model. The kits are coloured out of the box so they are reasonably accurate once built with options to add more details via stickers (easier) or water-slide transfers (harder). The more skilled model maker will go on to paint and weather the model for a more realistic finish. As these are 1/12 scale (6 inch) then they do fit with the Star Wars Black Series from Hasbro and other 1/12 figures like MAFEX and SH Figuarts. These kts are also relatively cheap at sub £20 for a basic figure. The only issue for UK collectors on these is the fact they are not allowed under the current licence to be sold in the UK or Europe. This may change in the coming months/years with Revell signing a deal to distribute Bandai kits in Europe, although at the present this is only for the similar line of Star Wars ships. Packaging 2/5 Packaging for the Battle Droid is the same as any of the previous kits comprising of a two part box which is then cling wrapped. It opens by sliding off the top of the box leaving the base tray underneath with the sprues for the kit along with the instructions and decals. The box includes art from the movie as well as illustrations of an almost technical blueprint nature down the sides to show off the kit. There is no rear artwork, with the back of the box simply gloss black. Once the kit is opened you are presented with three inner packs. The first is a light beige with black and silver parts packed behind. This is for the Battle Droid. A second pack of black and dark brown parts is the sprues for the STAP. There is then a third kit containing the clear parts for the STAP stand, black for the Droid stand and the decal sheets are also in here. With all of this is then a colour instruction booklet to walk you through the building process. Constructing the Kit Now these kits are made and sold in Japan, so the first issue (if you aren't fluent in Japanese) is the language of the instructions. However, these are well enough illustrated to not pose too much of an issue once you've worked out the corresponding numbers from the instructions to the sprues and parts. You won't need any glue, but a craft knife and perhaps some clippers are advised. These are necessary to cleanly remove the parts from the sprue. Simply snapping them will leave defects or even break the piece completely. All the parts snap together and as you go the various segments combine into the full figure. The same approach is taken for the STAP. Watch out for the "optional" pieces where there may be two or three options for the kit depending on what look you want for your final figure. On the droid this is around the backpack. There are no optional parts on the STAP. I am a relatively inexperienced modeller with fat fingers and little patience. I spent about two hours building the droid and the same again for the STAP. Battle Droid 2/5 Once built you have a very lightweight, but nicely sculpted Battle Droid 6 inch figure in hard partially glossy beige plastic. The design of the kit into the figure is great, with the working parts making up the joints in a very similar way to what you'd see in reality. The articulation is good with about 13 clear points of articulation, a lot of which are very extensive in their movement. The figure can even fold into the transportation position. The colour is accurate, but the whole thing is too clean and bright and it would benefit hugely from being weathered to bring out the panel lines and give it more character. There are other issues too. The hands are extremely fragile, with the thumbs a plug in ball joint of their own so it can hold the accessories or the handlebars of the STAP. These broke on mine and had to be glued. The other issue is stability if you want this as battle droid standing on its own. The stand works, and the figure can stand on its own without it. Sadly it wont stay standing for long as the ankles are incredibly loose and the figure simply flops over. Our battle droid comes with his Macrobinoculars which are assembled in the same beige plastic as the droid. The articulation is good enough to allow these to be held in both hands and brought up to the eyes. The colouring needs to be addressed as with the droid to make these more visual. He is also armed with his E-5 Blaster. This is a black plastic piece with very crisp detail. It can be held by the droid with careful placement of those articulated fingers & thumbs. When not in use it can be stowed on the back pack if you have chosen the back pack configuration. STAP 4/5 The STAP model is very well designed too and even using too base colours it looks great once built. There were also constructional issues on the build. The blasters are very fragile and didn't line up with the shafts correctly and ended up collapsing. These were glued in the end. The same happened with the handlebars which are really slim and crack very easily. There is great definition of the repulsor engines and the mechanical parts and these would look great with just a bit of silver dry brushing if you want to go to the next stage. The STAP even has articulation with the top section pivoting on the body to different firing positions. The whole thing sits onto the clear stand, although the fit on this is not brilliant and it tends to wobble around a bit too much? Battle Droid & STAP 3/5 While the Droid can be used as an infantry trooper, it is clearly made to be riding the STAP. To do this you slot the feet into the shaped pedals and then once these are secure, pose the legs and upper body into a realistic riding position. The hardest step is to get the fragile hands to grip the fragile handlebars and hold in place. Due to the weak joints on the figure if these hands aren't secure then you end up with a droid flopped back in the riding position. Posed, it looks brilliant and scales really well to other 6 inch lines. Summary On release the Battle Droid and STAP was coming in at a UK import price of £40 - £50 and for what you get this is a little on the high side. While prices have fluctuated, keeping an eye on the set should see you grab it for sub £40 at which point it becomes better value for money. The decision to pack an army build figure with a vehicle is also an odd one. While I get it as a one off, I am unsure why Bandai haven't capitalized further and released a Naboo Battle Droid 2-Pack, although they did do a Geonosis red droid 2-Pack. Having built a handful of other Bandai kits, this one was the most challenging and the most "visually" unfinished when you are done. While Stormtroopers and Vader look fine in glossy plastic, this one really needs that extra level of weathering and paint app to look the business. It also suffers from a few fragile parts and very weak joints which are its biggest downfall. These joints prevent it standing for long on its own and also can impact the riding position. If you want a 6 inch Battle Droid without the hassle, then the Hasbro one is on its way. Time will tell if we can get a STAP to go with it. I will endeavor to come back to this review when the Hasbro version lands for comparison and to see if the Hasbro one can ride the Bandai kit. As it stands, for £40-£50 this will give you a good few hours of building, and for the serious modeller the basis for an awesome looking figure with a bit of additional works. I score it a basic 2 out of 5. Checkout other 6 inch Star Wars figures here or visit our Black Series homepage
