Action Figure #638: Marvel Legends Blood Storm

 So... she makes it rain blood?

 Brother Voodoo was a character I would've gotten at some point or another, but Blood Storm? Nope, never. I just got her for the BAF, and I'm just thankful I didn't have to get Hellverine too.
 When I first popped out the figure from her plastic bed I thought that she looked kinda good and I could actually like her. That quickly went away, because she feels very gummy, in particular her slim, lanky legs. Her thighs are just too thin, this is Storm for crying out loud! And, yeah, my beef with this figure are her legs, but they do ruin the overall look of the figure. She comes with a calm head and an angry head, as well as two sets of hands.
 A look at her lanky legs. Yes, those are pins. I don't mind pins, but, c'mon, this is a 2024 figure.
 She has double jointed knees, which are pretty good, but single jointed elbows that barely reach 90 degrees. She has thigh swivels and a waist swivel, but, surprisingly no boot swivels. She has a ball jointed ab crunch.
 A closer look at her pathetic elbow bend, I was wrong, she doesn't even hit 90 degrees! She is as tall as Bucky Cap.
 Blood Storm is a boring figure, with an outdated sculpt and sub par articulation, based on a version of a character I doubt many people care about. Overall, a lazy and boring figure. But, hey, that means I now have every piece for...
