Marvel Legends: Iceman

Today we are checking out my favorite member of the X-Men, Iceman. This Marvel Legends Iceman is part of the Retro Wave to celebrate 80 Years of Marvel Comics. This Iceman figure and his packaging are inspired by the 90's Toy Biz Uncanny X-Men Iceman figure.

Flea Market Finds - Toy Biz X-Men

Last weekend I went to a community yard sale in the neighborhood one of my best friends lived in when were were in high school and college. I met up with a couple buddies and my friend's parents house and we walked around. It wasn't a real great sale... mostly house hold junk, but there was one person selling some Toy Biz X-Men figures. Check out my haul in the video below.

Marvel Legends Iceman - X-Men Wave

Today we are reviewing a Marvel Legends figure of Iceman. He's my favorite X-Men, but this action figure is only okay. Nothing really wrong with him, but also nothing real interesting. I would have liked to have seen him come with "energy" effects. Iceman does come with an arm to the build-a-figure Juggernaut.

Marvel Legends Wolverine "Old Man Logan". Today's Action Figure Adventures video takes a look at the Marvel Legends Logan figure which was released recently. I really like seeing these types of figures. It's amazing how many variations of these characters Hasbro has released.

Marvel Legends Edge of Spider-Verse: Ben Reilly Spider-Man

Today we are taking a look at a Marvel Legends figure based on the Ben Reilly Spider-Man. I was a big fan of this costume in the 90's and I'm happy to have this Edge of Spider-Verse Spider-Man figure.





I did this drawing of the Ben Reilly Spider-Man fighting Sandman back in 1996! So crazy.

Marvel Legends Cable

He's a look at the Marvel Legends X-Men Wave: Cable. He comes with two guns, a strip of bullets, and a piece to the Collect-and-Connect Juggernaut. He's a nice looking figure, but I wish he was wearing his 90's X-Force uniform.

Monster in My Pocket Super Scary (Series 4)

Monster in My Pocket Series 4: Super Scary is the focus of today's video. This series of rubber monsters are bigger, feature some paint apps, and the 100 point monsters are Glow-in-the-Dark. Check it out if you are a fan of MIMP. My childhood best friend and I reminisce about these toy from our childhood.

Marvel Legends Phoenix

He's our revie of the Marvel Legends Phoenix figure from the Juggernaut Build-A-Figure wave. I try to avoid the larger scale figures like Marvel Legends and the Star Wars Black Series. I'm just a 4" action figure guys. Then they put of this X-Men wave and I caved. I haven't bought them all yet, but I haven't seen them all at retail yet.

Captain America: Civil War featuring the Power Rangers

Captain America: Civil War featuring the Power Rangers is a goofy Action Figure Adventure where I just kind of spoofed a bunch of block buster movies that have been in news including Civil War, X-Men Apocalypses, and the upcoming Power Ranger movie. So the Avengers and the Power Rangers battle it out over if The Winter Soldier can join the Avengers.

Spiderman - Marvel Universe

Spiderman is my all time favorite Marvel super hero. I'm a sucker for wall-crawler action figures. I really like this one from the Marvel Universe line. I'm not sure if he has a specific name, because this uniform is a slight variation on the standard uniform. You may notice that he has come blue on his gloves which are traditionally red.



Along with being well articulated and having a flawless paint job, Spiderman comes with two cool accessories. One is a webbing piece that can be attached to his arm. He also comes with a fun web backpack holding many of his personal possessions like his camera.

Juggernaut - X-Men vs Street Fighter

The unstoppable Juggernaut looks really tough in this action figure incarnation. Originally packaged with a Chun Li figure as part of the X-Men vs Street Fighter line. I remember seeing these figures in the store after I was kind of over the Toy Biz X-Men line. I really wanted to get the Chun Li figure, but I was at that age where I still thought toys were cool... but wasn't really buying any.


I picked up this Juggernaut at a flea market years ago. He's wearing his normal red armor and has enormous gorilla-like arms. I think he might share some tooling with the figure from the light up weapon series of X-Men, but I'm not positive. I know this torso/head is different because the one from that series has a removable helmet

I bought a 2011 Nissan Frontier (Pick-Up) today, my only Black Friday shopping. Normally I got out and hit up Target and Toys R Us but since the truck had to be replaced due to the accident that was the priority. Now I'm going to have to watch my spending a little more carefully for a little while. I hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving.

Kang - Secret Wars

Kang the Conqueror, one of the least popular figures from the Secret Wars toy line.  Kang shares his body with several other figures from the line, but features a nicely done head sculpt. Kang is mostly dark green with purple details. He also features a light blue face. Kang came with three accessories. He had a double barrel blaster, a secret wars shield, and a removable belt/harness.

Thunberbird - Marvel Universe X-Men

Several years ago I picked up this Thunderbird in a boxed set of Marvel Universe figures based on Giant Sized X-Men #1. Thunderbird has mutant enhanced athletic abilities, but his time on the X-Men was short lived. Later his brother Warpath was on the team. T-bird has some really nice paint apps on his uniform.

Juggernaut - Marvel Universe

I've always liked the design of Juggernaut's uniform so when he came out for the Marvel Universe line I ended up getting both the helmeted and un-helmeted versions. The face sculpt under the non-removable helmet is wicked. Juggernaut features nice articulation and some great detailing. Check out all the scratches in his arm bands.
