HASBRO’S MARVEL LEGENDS THE HOOD

It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!

This week, we’re looking at the toy of the year 2022, the action figure of the Hood from the villains wave of Marvel Legends from Habsro. This figure has caused quite a sensation throughout the toy community! When first announced during a Marvel Legends panel, one of the members of the Hasbro team said this is the “Angry Marvel Legends Collector” figure, which was perfect. Then, once the figure started to appear in stores, all hell broke loose. The figure has so much meme potential, collectors worldwide took hilarious pictures with it. There is also an ongoing petition, led by Sonny from the Sonny Channel on Youtube (@sonnyplayswithtoys on instagram) to get that figure nominated for the Toy of the Year awards next year. Join the Hood movement!

Marvel Legends packaging, always nice!

“GET ME OUT OF HERE!”

“AAAAAAH!”

By God! He literally screamed himself out of the packaging!

“I’M FREE!”

Well… I guess I won’t be grading it, then…

“I NEED MY STUFF!”

“MY GUNS TOO!”

“THAT’S BETTER, HAHAHA!!!”

“WHAT IS THAT CRAP?”

“NOBODY READS THAT! SUCH A WASTE, IT MAKES ME MAD!”

The Hood, aka Parker Robbins, was a petty thief who got his hands on the cloak of a demon which came with some powers that enabled him to become the head of a vast criminal empire. He was especially active post-Civil War and during the Dark Reign crossover events. The figure itself is what you could expect from a Marvel Legends figure nowadays. Double elbow, double knees, ab crunch, thigh swivel, 360 kickflip, double pepperoni and all the likes. The head sculpt is where all the magic is at. That angry screaming expression is just amazing. So many photo ideas!

Superhero landing - Nailed it!

The Hood wouldn’t be The Hood without… the Hood.

“UNLEASH DILDOBURST EFFECT!” (“Dildoburst effects” term coined by Ibentmyman-thing from the Fwoosh)

“GLORIOUS!”

“STRAIGHT FIR… HUH?”

“WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?”

(One of my dildoburst effects was a bit bent in the packaging, which would have had an impact on the grading and he wouldn’t have gotten a full 10/10.)

“MUCH BETTER!” (Please contact a doctor if it lasts for more than 4h).

“XENMU! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU?”

“MAYBE THE HOOD WILL HELP YOU…”

Narrator’s voice: It did not.

“I CAME TO PARTY!”

“TOO MUCH STRESS… TIME FOR MY SCREAMING YOGA! AAAAAAAAAH!”

Expect to see more of the Hood, as I will certainly try to get as many fun pics out of him as I can!
