Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Variants – Sentry, Bulldozer, and Bob

This week I’m highlighting a few Marvel Legends variants that Hasbro had planned (or should have planned) to make, before the variant swaps fell through for the line.

  • Marvel Legends Sentry by Eddie_grayce – Sentry was to have been the variant to Hyperion, which would have made it two Superman analogues released in that wave – much like Superman, once you have an all-powerful being in the comics, you have a tough time finding interesting challenges for him – luckily for Marvel, they didn’t have much invested, so Sentry’s heel turn in Dark Avengers let them eventually kill him off (and give him a shot at other incarnations) – ends Feb 13, 2014 15:15:06 PST
  • Marvel Legends Bulldozer by Toycooker – Bulldozer was originally intended to come out as a variant to the Wrecker – I hope if Hasbro finds a way to release this variant they’ll reconsider the classic version with a little less hardware around the neck – ends Feb 12, 2014 08:31:53 PST
  • Marvel Legends Bob, Agent of Hydra by glennwebman69 – this custom is such a relatively simple one that I’m surprised Hasbro didn’t make a chase Bob figure with the Hydra agent from the Captain America Marvel Legends Infinite Series – ends Feb 16, 2014 16:20:08 PST

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends by AC Custom Figures

This week, there’s a few Marvel Legends customs up by AC Custom Figures – I couldn’t pick just one to feature, so I decided to highlight all of them.

  • Marvel Legends Captain America – you may or may not like the ones we have up in our ML Cap vs Spidey Free Stuff Giveaway, but I think there’s no denying this one – there’s something so clean and appealing about it – it’s billed as an Olivetti-styled Cap to explain the larger physique – ends today Feb 04, 2014 19:00:42 PST
  • Marvel Legends Superior Spider-Man – again, if you’re not feeling the Superior Spidey in our giveaway, this previously-owned custom has more details that the official release omits, like the gauntlets and backpack – ends Feb 06, 2014 11:45:17 PST
  • Marvel Legends Magik – while I like this custom, what it really does is serve to remind me that the older Jean Grey body, while an upgrade to what came before it, is really more suitable for teenaged females – ends today Feb 04, 2014 19:04:37 PST
