As for Legion, I’ve been looking forward to getting him on the shelf for a while now and he definitely lived up to my expectations. Both the Colossus and Juggernaut figures come with 2 alternate hands, allowing fans to create dynamic poses and imagine the Super Heroes battling one another or teaming up to defeat a common enemy. There’s nothing groundbreaking here, as Hasbro didn’t have to do a whole lot to convert their regular Magneto to the AoA version, so it’s fair to say he’s one of the budget saving figures in this assortment. PREMIUM POSEABILITY AND DETAIL: These highly articulated Marvel Legends Series figures feature intricate character detailing, making them excellent for both play and display.

The left shoulder pad armor is also an add-on tucked in place by this piece, and looks terrific covered in a multitude of painted, sculpted studs. Hasbro even blesses us with a rare pair of alternate hands for a BAF, giving the choice to pose Age of Apocalypse Colossus with fists for bashing or Zangief-like grappling hands. All that said, we have not even gotten to the fact that figure also comes with two new open hands for grabby-grabby action, as well as a destroyed helmet that fits over an unmasked and severely beaten portrait head. With this Marvel Comics 80th Anniversary Legends Series 2-pack, fans can add a piece of Super Hero history to their action figure collection. Since the first time I read the original GSX storyline as a kid (LOOOOOOONG after it was originally released), all the way through his reappearance in the Wedon/Cassaday Astonishing X-Men Colossus has always been my dude, and I love celebrating my favorites via plastic.The plastic coif is pretty magnificent too, and his braids are soft and bendy enough so as not to impede articulation too badly. With so much coming out, and with such diversity that there is something for everyone, it is hard to pick a favorite execution, but he 80th Anniversary line might just be it for me.

Being able to grow life with the same hands he could render steel made him stand out among his fellow X-Men.

Really though, it is not much as far as I can tell, it is mostly the arms and hands, which is perfectly appropriate. They seem sturdy enough to me that I’m not especially worried about that happening unless excessive force is used. Trust me, as a lifelong Fantastic Four and X-Men fan, no one is happier to see those corners coming home than me, and we have some serious lost time to make up at this point.
