True Believers, Marvel Zombies and No Prize winners rejoice; Marvel Legends has returned!
Both ROML Terrax Wave and Arnim Zola Wave are hitting stores and online dealers now and the toy collecting F.O.O.M.* are in a feeding frenzy. I was lucky enough to be at my local Target on a morning when a fresh case had been put on the pegs and couldn’t resist picking up Steve Rogers, Extremis Iron Man and Thor. Later in the day, I went back for Ghost Rider, but he was gone. In a fit of anger and remorse, I scooped up Constrictor and Hope. Klaw was nowhere to be seen.
And now, without further ado, here’s the skinny on ROML Terrax Wave Figure #1, the ML with the longest title; Commander Steve Rogers – Super Soldier!

A Variant Version is available with slightly different paint deco and translucent shield to simulate Rogers’ Ion Shield

Disparity > Size of head, a little too big for some fans while some are okay with it
Pro > Excellent detail on new lower legs
Disparity > Height of figure; some fans think figure is too tall, some like the added height
An Assist! > If you’re extremely bothered by the height of the figure and a fairly skilled customizer; Fwoosher, thor333us, has come up with a modification
Pro > The shield has a hinged clip that can be switched between a clip to attach to figure’s wrist and a peg for mounting on the figure’s back
Con > Ion Shield should have been packaged with both versions of figure
Turnarounds
Pro > Very well made guns
Con > No holsters to stash them in
There you have it, the down and dirty dope on the new Steve Rogers Super Soldier figure from the “Return Of” Marvel Legends Terrax Wave.
It appears that Target, Toys-R-Us and Wal-Mart are keeping fairly good stock of this wave while the online sellers seem to be selling out of shipments fast, so good luck hunting!
Excelsior!

What do you mean “fairly skilled” 🙂
Bad choice of words, meant that it’s not the kind of modification a novice should attempt.
But you managed to pull it off pretty well, thor333us. ;-p
