Review: Hasbro X3 Marvel Legends

I don’t have a lot to say about these figures, so I’m lumping them together.

Hasbro X3 Phoenix

OBQ (Out-of-the-Box Quality): 3 out of 5

It’s not bad. I just don’t want an X3 Phoenix, or an X3 display. Why did I buy the figure? Shut up! I guess I got it for the Blob part, but my Marvel Legends Completion bug is hideously ingrown. I guess I don’t mind having one figure that will live in a bin for every fourteen that represent a vital part of the ol’ 616.

CP (Customizing Potential): 2 out of 5

It’s a decent head, though the scale is a little small. I already have a Jean Grey head that I like in my customs, but this is both Famke Janssen and not a specific actress.

The body may be useful some day for something, but god knows what it will be. Maybe some kind of medieval girl? Which I don’t have plans for.

Review: Hasbro X3 Juggernaut

Another X3 figure. But I like this one.

OBQ: 3 out of 5

It has to be said, I don’t want an X3 Juggernaut. This will never be on my shelf before I paint it.

CP: 4 out of 5

This figure is a movie design, but seems to have been exaggerated to make it more comic-book-esque. I could use those legs for a large build male, like a Wrecking Crew type. There have been a lot of those builds over the years, especially from SOTA in their Street Fighter line. But they tend to have pants! So these spandexy legs will allow me to build a big guy without jeans.

I like that helmet too. It hasn’t fallen off yet, so it might adapt to other heads.
X3 Juggernaut gives me the following customizing ideas:

• Bulldozer from the Wrecking Crew.
• Stonewall, that old-man X-Men villain. Wasn’t I going to use Quicksilver as a Super-Sabre?
• One of those big guy DC villains: Sledge, Mammoth, and the like.
