Action Figure #458: Marvel Legends Dracula

 Looks more like Alucard to me!

 Well, Hasbro's new plastic has somewhat driven me away from new Marvel Legends figures... but Dracula looked kinda cool, so I decided to give them another chance.

 Well, when I first thought this Dracula design, in a X-23 comic of all things, I kinda hated it, but it has grown on me. In action figure form, he looks like a badass warrior, so I'll take it. And I do think that this figure looks incredible, sculpt-wise, Marvel Legends is the best it has ever been... but plastic-wise, it's the worst. And yeah, the shoulder peg on his right arm is already getting ugly stress marks. I oiled up the joint and reinforced the peg with super-glue, but I'm afraid it's destined to break one of these days. It sucks so much, because I really, REALLY want to collect Marvel Legends, but c'mon.

 On the articulation end, he has double jointed knees, and while his arms are single-jointed, they have very deep cuts, so the range on is elbows is fantastic. His ab-crunch lies on a ball joint. The other thing worth mentioning is that his ponytail is a separate piece, so you can rotate it around. He is a bit taller than Bucky Cap.

 Honestly, I love this figure... had he had better, more solid plastic, like the older Marvel Legends, he would've been among my favorite action figures... but sadly, Hasbro refuses to use better plastic for ML.
