I've been on a DC multiverse kick for several months and kind of falling out of love with legends but this figure does have me a bit exited about legends again for the first time in a while so that's cool. However I'm absolutely going to be kitbashing this with shriek.
The only figure that I want is Ultimate Captain America because I don't have one and I am glad that his way more big shield has no holes like the 20th Anniversary Captain America did, No offense that awesome looking 20th Anniversary Cap figure though.
Yelena Balova is another really nice addition to add, But to me, I do hope that Hasbro will make a new, updated, comic, painless double jointed Black Widow figure, Overall, Fantastic review Dan.
Funny thing is of the characters in this wave I want to see her and Wonder Man the most. Cap and IM are good. The Orb is interesting. Strucker is another I’m looking forward to. I can’t remember was there another? IM, Cap, Yelena, Orb, Strucker, Wonder Man… I think that’s it? The other reason I want Yelena is to see that Puff Adder torso in person. I think the paint is pretty bland in the renders. Hasbro doesn’t choose to do better. They just want to make inexpensive stuff to sell. Invest in two Shriek body molds Hasbro. Like I know anything. Whatever I’ll use the parts to make a better fig.
They can only run so many figures with the new mold at a time and are running multiple waves in production at once. They are just trying to pick which females get the new body and eventually they may phase old the molds and get more double jointed pinless molds.
I got an extra Shriek body mold for sale and used one of the Mary Jane heads I have to make a Black Widow... I guess I'll do the same with Yelena, half price and will get a better figure.
Yelena Belova has a very sleek spy look, the mask throws me a bit, it’s sort of tactical yet it looks a bit like the eyes of a spider or a beast, but I get they are tactical Goggles for infrared or something like that, great review as always Dan!
You don't want or need to hold the scope against the eye. A lot of first time shooters will be too close to the scope when the recoil sends it into their eye.
I’m not that familiar with her as a whole, so this look has seeing a Joe/Cobra Sniper here. Blank black buck body can be almost anything. Someone told me they think that Puffy is using the Caliban body, so I hope you compare those two and a Hulk BAF. I already had my own Puff custom, repainting Copperhead, since it’s pretty much a palate swap. Maybe I’ll put them together like I did my 6” and bigger custom Giant Men/Atlas’/ Goliaths?
The head does look great, but it’s weird getting this before her first costume or White Widow look. And single jointed arms for anyone with a gun is so 2018.
I wish! I don’t have any of the others in the wave, none have popped up over here annoyingly! The Americans will have the reviews up for the rest of the wave this week I’m sure 🙏🏻
