Shuri Figure

After seeing the movie I did actually fall in love with Shuri’s character which again reminded me of my annoyance of her not having a proper MCU Marvel Legends figure. So I settled on the next best thing

Here is my figure with really badly painted eyes. This involved 7 shops and two suburbs to get her.

I like her cat paw accessories but I feel like while all the details of the suit are there (wrong colours of course) the overall silhouette isn’t great and her waist cape is really lacking although it does look similar to the concept art.

WHERE IS THE REST OF HER HAIR?! Not even her bun?!

She also has no knee articulation and a T joint at her hips (meaning her legs can only go backwards and forwards)

Overall I feel it has a passing resemblance to the character with some good accessories and sculpt details (though I dislike the overall shape of the figure). I mainly bought her for the cat paws and her head which I will hopefully use to custom her up a body in future.

Marvel Legends 2018 Toyfair Wishlist

The MCU 10th Anniversary is coming up so there’s a lot incoming! 😦 I’m seeing a lot of Two packs which for some reason don’t really make it here to Aus or get them very late. I’m seeing some stores are only just getting the Thor/Valkyrie and the Tony/Spiderman sets.

But moving on I’m excited but am being super picky due to $$$ and space issues.

Captain America with updated Steve Rogers head. Still doesn’t really look like Chris Evans to me and I really don’t want the Crossbones it’s in a Two Pack with.

Sif finally gets a Marvel Legends figure. In a Two Pack with updated Thor

Lady Deadpool!

Pantless Deadpool is a must XD

PSYLOCKE

I care all about the updated Scarlet Witch with better special effects and face apps then Vision but I know a lot of people have been waiting for him!

All these figures seem to be 6inch. I haven’t seen any news yet on the 3.75″ line :(. Also while I’m grateful for the updated figures it means a lot of what I own is now probably going on ebay or the Fodder bin. And a bit annoyed with Two and Three packs I only want one character from but at least the figures are looking great. AND THE BAF ARE BACK TO BEING BIG AND NOT ANOTHER MANTIS/OKOYE FIASCO

There’s a HELL of a lot of figures coming out but this is my shortlist. Noted other figures are: Spiderham?!
