Review: Marvel Legends Disney+ Wave 6 Inch Captain America Action FigureĬaptain America really matches his on-screen counterpart excellently. I guess I’d just really like to see a little bit more with the standard figures, even if it pushes the price up a few dollars.Īll right, enough with the complaining. While I really don’t want to pay in the $90 range for Marvel Legends, I’m willing to pay the roughly $30-$40 for the deluxe figures they produce, with multiple accessories. I don’t know, maybe I’m getting spoiled with the amount of accessories that come with import figures. The pair he comes with are open palmed, ostensibly to make holding his shield in place easier. Would have been nice to even have another set of hands with Cap, but nope. Thankfully there are six other figures in this set that allow us to assemble Cap’s wings and they are very, very nicely done! With Barnes and Walker’s aid, Wilson defeats the Flag Smashers and inspires a new generation as Captain America!Īt last, the key figure in this set! Captain America comes with… his shield and the backpack for his wings. However, seeing Walker lose control after taking the Super Soldier Serum, and brutally murdering one of the Flag Smashers, Wilson and Barnes fought Walker and claimed the shield.Īfter much consideration and a long talk with Isaiah Bradley, Wilson receives a new costume and wings built in Wakanda and rightfully takes up the Star Spangled mantle. Both the Walgreens exclusive Punisher and Namor figures are among the best Legends released this year, and meanwhile Falcon - a mainstream Avenger - is a flightless bird.Sam focuses on fighting the Flag Smashers, working with Bucky Barnes and their surprising ally, Helmut Zemo to track them down. Overall, I do recommend the figure and the set, even if Sam Wilson is the most underwhelming member of the 3-pack. This 3-pack is further proof that Hasbro needs to shore up the consistency of their retailer exclusives. The trouble with Hasbro these days is that it’s difficult to gauge the difference between figures that are cop-outs and figures that aptly utilize their massive repertoire of bodies. He’s well-proportioned in stark contrast to ToyBiz’s trademark gangly limbs, and, for this reason, he doesn’t look out of place next to modern Marvel Legends. This Falcon is still a massive upgrade over the previous renditions. One side of the mask is painted much higher onto his forehead than the other, and there is some noticeable bleed-over on his hairline and ears. The figure received no paint detailing, but the costume colors are applied cleanly other than the face, which is a bit of a mess. Aside from the limited ab crunch, Falcon is about what you’d expect from a Marvel Legend in 2016. The head can look up, down, and side-to-side he has ball-jointed shoulders bicep rotation double-jointed elbows swivel-and-hinge wrists an ab crunch (which only goes one click forward and one click backward) waist swivel T-joined hips thigh swivel double-jointed knees calf swivel hinged ankles and ankle rockers. Wilson’s articulation is par for the course as far as recent Marvel Legends go. Marvel NOW! Cap remains my favorite Captain America figure ever (until Mezco releases theirs, at least), so you won’t hear me complaining about the reuse. Everything else is reused from Marvel NOW! Cap. Falcon features a new upper torso (from the waist up), a new belt, new shoulders, and a new head. If you own the Mandroid wave Marvel NOW! Captain America, you largely know what you’re getting from this figure. These 3-packs have generally been priced at $50, which does amount to a savings of $10 on the purchase of three figures, but it’s hard to justify the inclusion of a character like Sam Wilson without his signature superpower. For those, you’ll have to buy and dissect the Playmation Falcon figure. Unfortunately, he does not come with the wings pictured in this review. Sam Wilson’s only accessory is Captain America’s iconic shield.
