Hasbro Marvel legends Icons 1, 2, 3




HML icons series 3
The surfer has arrived. Just bought these over the weekend. This much anticipated wave was much better than i expected. Both the Human torch version looks hot. IMO the variant version looks better with his blue F4 costume and RED/YELLOW flaming eyes. If only they had produced a red translucent version like the 12" toybiz F4 classics with Hasbro body sculpt.

The Silver Surfer boast an excellent detailed body sculpt which i think suits him to a tee and his legendary surf board which comes in two pieces but able to be fitted together. Man !! This Surfer is a must have for all marvel fans. Definitely gotta buy 1 more SS to open for display. Now if only hasbro could do a 12" thanos or a BAF galactus for 12" marvel legends icons.........




HML icons series 2
Spotted these 2 at OG one day and i had to grab Dr Doom as soon as i saw it. They practically sold like hotcakes unlike punisher which was destined to be a pegwarmer. The infamous Dr Doom spots his original costume and comes with a small pistol. The punisher ......... still nothing......... mmhhhh. Please hasbro more articulation and better paintjob.



HML icons series 1
I bought these back in NYC during my honeymoon 2007. I must say i was quite disappointed at the articulation and paintjob done on Thor. He scored only articulation on one hand, and skin tone colour looked a wee bit plasticky. Wolverine on the other hand was a totally different story, same sculpt as the 12" toybiz marvel legends Icons but with a brown costume. Nonetheless, i'm a thor fan so hasbro 2 thumbs up for making him a 12" icons.
