I received three Thor: Ragnarok Marvel Legends Build-A-Figure figures from Hasbro to play with and review. The opinions are are my own. I also bought five additional figures.
The Marvel Legends Build-A-Figure series are some really well done figures. There are six figures in the series, Thor, Loki, Hela, Thor (Jane Foster), Odinson and Ares. These six figures each have a piece of Hulk. There are two other figures in a two-pack. They are Marvel Legends size but do not include parts of another figure. For the most part I liked the choices on characters but I think that they could have included Skurge, Heimdall and Korg instead. Those would have been better figures to include. Thor (Jane Foster), Odinson and Ares are from The Mighty Thor comic series and there are cool in their own right, but why not split them into another series?
Today I unboxed all the figures in a livestream today and it was fun. The Hulk figure is huge and amazing. It has full armor from the movie and also the two weapons that he uses. You can remove much of the armor, too, in order to make him look more like he does in the rest of the movie.
Each character has lots of articulation and so many ways to pose. The detail is incredible, especially on the faces of Hela and Thor. Thor looks so much like Chris Hemsworth. Hela looks like Cate Blanchett and Loki looks a lot like Tom Hiddleston, but Tom and Loki for that matter look far less greasy. Hulk looks like Hulk. The comic book based character like Thor (Jane Foster), Odinson and Ares look like their comic book counterparts. I do really like how they all look. You can see what else I think about these and so many other Thor toys in the video below.
I personally think that the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series is the best there has ever been. From the voice actors to the animation and the stories, these have been excellent cartoons. I did not know that the show was ending and today I learned that an All-New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series is coming. Where the 2012 series was very much honoring the past and paying homage to so much of the Turtles’ lore I am being cautiously optimistic about this next series. The voice cast is all new. I enjoy much of what each person in the cast does. the only person I am not familiar with is Kat Graham. The new show is called Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Did you know that that was also the titles of the first two episodes of the first season of the 2012 series? Strange.
