The 2016 Marvel Legends Deadpool figure was my “Hasbro figure of the year” last year, so as you might expect, I don’t have many complaints about this figure. Butterfly swivel shoulders would have been nice, but obviously weren’t going to happen on a repaint–I’ll make due with the ankle rockers, double-jointed knees and elbows, swivel biceps/thighs, and more that give this figure a superb amount of flexibility. The articulation is unhanged from the red Deadpool figure, and is as top-rate now as it was last year. X-Force Deadpool also has a different belt, further increasing the authenticity of the figure. There’s also a new removable “collar” piece added around Deadpool’s neck, which is important for this costume and a detail that I was genuinely surprised to see Hasbro remember (because I forgot about it myself). The unmasked Wade Wilson grinning head looks really weird and out of place on the grey costume to me, but I can’t knock Hasbro for including it for those who like this look (which isn’t me). Old accessories from the previous version making a comeback here include a large blaster (now with nice-looking paint apps!), a taco (you can never have too many tacos!), a knife, two katana swords and an unmasked Deadpool head. They’re not exactly realistic, but they’re nicely decorated and I like Wade being able to dual-wield. We also get an all-new set of small sci-fi looking blaster pistols (I have no idea what else to call these). The boxing glove bazooka that came with the original version was fun and all, but if you’re looking for something slightly more serious, the X-Force exclusive’s bazooka has more paint deco, a removable explosion effects piece to stick on the barrel, and a suitably zany “BOOM!” written on the side. But surprise, surprise-several of the accessories are actually new! Like the original Deadpool, the X-Force Deadpool Marvel Legends figure gets a treasure trove of accessories. The paint has been applied evenly with no mess-ups or slop on mine, so I’m a happy camper. Hasbro did a stellar job with the paint apps on this figure, neatly and cleanly painting the figure into Wade’s darker and more serious X-Force colors.
So what’s different? Well, first and most obviously is the paint deco.
That’s not at all a bad thing, though, as that was one of the best figures of 2016 and an all-time favorite of many collectors. Excellent choice, Hasbro.Īs for the figure itself, well– it’s mostly just the X-Men Legends Deadpool I reviewed last year. In addition, picking the second most iconic look for Marvel’s hottest character was a surefire way to garner attention for the show and drive attendance. Doing so definitely made the show feel like more of a big deal, and it was the correct call to make the event feel more “legit”. Although it’s an intangible, the first “Right” I want to include in this review is the fact that Hasbro designated a unique exclusive Marvel Legends 6″ figure for HasCon at all.
