Talk about an absolute unit!
Waiting pays off! While not my favorite character, I've been meaning to get
Crossbones for a while, but I never did... lo and behold, this incredible two pack got announced... and I finally got my chance.
The sculpt is brilliant. I know there's reuse here, the arms come from Luke Cage, and while I can't pin-point the legs, they have pins, so they are old. That aside, he has a newly sculpted vest just for him that looks incredible with all the
texturing and details they gave it. I love how big of an
imposing presence he has. All that said... he looks slightly different from the art piece they chose for the box.
That's so lazy. For a change with Marvel Legends, the plastic feels really good. The legs might be a tiny bit gummy, but it's no big since these rarely break. He also comes with a ton of accessories. A knife, and a holster, two guns, but a single holster, and an automatic rifle. He has two fists and two trigger finger hands. He also get two smoke effects and two shooting effects for the guns, but he has to
share them with Madame Masque. There's also a rather neat ground explosion effect, as well as a case with money, which he should also
share with Masque. Overall, a fantastic looking figure with a ton of accessories.
Articulation is pretty nice. Double jointed elbows and knees, with swivels on his biceps, thighs, waist and boots. He has a hinged ab-crunch, but with the best you can't use it. He also gets butterfly joints, which work better when you move them behind, as the vest is rather
hard. This figure is, honestly a ton of fun. He is about a head taller than Bucky Cap.
Brilliant action figure, I love pretty much everything about it, to the point that I don't think a character like him deserved such a good figure!
