HASBRO’S MARVEL LEGENDS RETRO COLLECTION DR. DOOM!
It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!
CALL FOR FOUR! FANTASTIC FOUR!
Last week, the Marvel Legends team announced a new Retro Fantastic Four wave, so I figured it was time to maybe open that figure, which had been on my “pile of depression” since the beginning of the year. I never really planned to keep it MOC, but the nostalgia value of that packaging made me keep it mint for a while, to appreciate and enjoy it. I actually had the ToyBiz version from 1994 when I was a kid, so it definitely brought up some nostalgia (even though the old one had a really crappy cape and ‘arm elongating action’).
Ok… Time to open it… *inhales deeply*…
That Retro collection Dr. Doom is a beautiful figure. It mostly re-uses the sculpts from a previous Doom, but with the same color scheme as the old ToyBiz figure from the 90’s. Great articulations, there’s even slits in the tunic’s “skirt”, which allow him to do the split. My only nit pick is with the ankle articulations, mine are a bit stiff and I can’t really place the feet at a correct angle, because it would be between 2 hinges to have him stand up correctly. Also, it seems the piece holding the foot is a bit small, so moving the feet back and forth too much feels like it’s going to break.
More news at 11:00… FOOL! Doctor Doom toots as he pleases!
