While goning to target to pick up a silver surfer I was surprised to see one ML9 none other than the sorcerer supreme himself! THE COMIC: Dr.Strange comes with the first issue he ever appered in Marvel masterwork pinup 110, 111, 114, and 115. I never read Dr.Strange and these comics were a good selection including information on his past, his arch nemises, and explained what his golden medallion is. GALACTUS: Strange comes with the right arm of Galactus. The arm has perfect paint and my only complaint is all fingers except for his thumb move with one joint. THE TOY: The docter comes with 35 points of articulation but he dose not use it well especialy with his cape on. The cape limits his hand and head movement but he looks cool enough with it on that I can ignor it. His body is one of the stiffist in ML history with one poa at his waist . Most of his poa is in his legs which because of lose ankles dont get to many poses without the cape holding him up. This might just be my figure I hered in alot of revews how carnage from SMC was perfectly jointed but my carnage cant stand lift his hands or even look up its like hes made of jelly  . Dr.Stranges paint is good except his neck joint wasint painted leaving a huge black stripe down his white neck. The cape is awsome. OVERALL: An O.K. figure looks more like he's from ML3 than ML9 a 6/10 below average. - Dark joe  (sorry I cant post pics I would love to show you the zebra stripe) |

I appreciate the review. That's one of the two figures from this series I was planning to pick up.  |

Same here. In fact I ordered it a week ago so it should be here any day now.

Yes, thanks for the review. I have to say, ML9 is the lamest asst. for me so far. I dig Strange and Bullseye, but Strange's cumbersome cape and Bullseye's macrocephaly may prevent me from getting either one! That, and the fact that I've never seen them anywhere...

I don't know, man... wave 11's lineup looks like a real stinker, too. Hulkbuster Iron Man? Maybe I'm just not enough of a hard-core Avengers fan.
I think I may be done with the line after I get my Sentinel...

I think ML11 is the worst line wolverine and iron man are in it two figures we have enough of. I only like vengance but I hope they change his head it was never a skull it was black and shiny. Taskmaster will only be popular because hes so abstract and ultron we'll see. - Dark joe thanks all |

I think I may be done with the line after I get my Sentinel... Yeah, 11 looks quite nasty. I like the ultron as a robot, not as an ultron, and Taskmaster may be cool because hey, who doesn't like skull masks? |

Well, I picked up Strange and Deathlok yesterday. Both are outstanding sculpts, but both have mechanical defects that keep them from being completely satisfying figures.
Strange's cape really is kind of a pain. It's made of a very flexible plastic, so it's not stiff, but the part that drapes over his shoulders does severely limit the range of motion for his arms. Also, the whole thing is just _barely_ too long, so it's tricky finding a leg position that allows him to stand.
Deathlok has a fantastic sculpt, paint job and on-model accessories. He'd be one of my favorite Legends figures, in fact, were he not composed entirely of taffy. For the life of me, I can't get him to stand in a dynamic pose for more than a minute, because his legs literally melt out from under him. Very frustrating and very disappointing...
{sigh} I want my Sentinel...

I might have gotten him just for his superiority to the rest of the series, but I had just scored some major Street Fighter success, and a Sandman that I'd been looking for, so I was sated. My friend and I found it cute that as messed up as deathlok's face is, he seems to take great pains to keep his hair nice and neat. Like the straight laced cousin of Iron Maiden's mascot Eddie... |

I still have to pick up Strange. I only intended on getting NC, Bullseye, and Strange. But I feel bad that my Galactus will be incomplete.
These later waves are not very exciting. 11 is kinda stupid (If they're doing figs with hover crap, they could do a decent Green Goblin)

That's kind of how I felt; if they were going to do a "Legendary Riders" series, at least make them characters who are known for _riding_ something...
I wish they had waited until this wave to do Prof X... then they might have had the budget to do a new sculpt for his hoverchair.

Yea. Hulkbuster, Thing, Logan (aka The 4 millionth wolverine) are just a waste of plastic.

. Dr.Stranges paint is good except his neck joint wasint painted leaving a huge black stripe down his white neck. The cape is awsome.
