Toybiz marvel legends series 5, 6


Toybiz marvel legends series 6
This series IMO was also the so-called x-men series. It comprises mainly on x-men characters with the punisher being the only exception and the entire series had either a single comic or a 4 comic version. The phoenix (green) was the second female character toybiz had done then and i must say i was particularly impressed with the articulation and sculpt done to it. It also had a phoenix shaped base that came along with the figure. To top it off a variant chase red dark phoenix (HTF) was included into the series. With a imposing sculpt that entirely captures the essence of the juggernaut, that figure to date is easily one of the better ML figures ever. The unmasked wolverine is a chase figure and also a reissue of the series 3 unmasked wolverine.
Still missing : cable (blue), cable (brown, variant), phoenix (green), Deadpool and punisher




Toybiz marvel legends series 5

Toybiz needed to come out with a bang after a disappointing series 4 and man did it ever!!!! They included more popular mainstream characters into the wave and a chase figure (red skull). Did i fail to mention it comprised of the silver surfer (my personnel favorite) and 2 bigger but still excellently sculpted x-men figures (colossus, sabretooth). The red skull has a kindoff vintage look on it which is good but looks weak literally. I thought the long time nemesis of Cap. America would look far more menacing, bigger and muscular. Mr fantastic : so-so. I'm still missing blade and nick fury to complete this series. Overall, A+
