This rose has thorns.
Well, The
Rose is one of the characters I've been
waiting for the most, since I fell in love with Spidey's 80's runs. And, finally, he is here!
And... well, he comes with two cool looking silenced guns, a rose and two sets of hands. The overall sculpt and paint job is
accurate to the character, I'll give it that much, his suit even has a rose on his chest pocket. The thing is... the proportions look a bit off, mainly due to his
lanky arms, making him look
less than imposing.
Articulation is where it gets
spotty. He has double jointed elbows and knees, with swivels on his waist, biceps and thighs, with no ab crunch of any sort. It's almost the Marvel Legends standard,
except that....
His arms are scarily gummy, and the jacket's circular cuts should've been a bit larger, because they may get in the way of you moving his shoulders, thus
stressing the gummy shoulder pegs.
But worst of all, his jacket is
longer than any other suited Marvel Legends, making him
unable to kick, crouch decently or get an acceptable leg split. He is a bit shorter than Bucky Cap.
C'mon, Rose might not be relevant nowadays, but he was a
key part of Spider-man's 80's Hobgoblin saga, so him getting such a lackluster figure kinda sucks. He needed better engineering and better proportions, I mean, he is easily the
worst suited Marvel Legends I own.
