About Heroes

Marvel just made me a very Happy Guy! That doesn't happen very often. But today when I walked into my Comic Shop (Texas Toyz in Corpus Christi, TX) Something caught my Eye. I don't usually buy Action Figures, only when I see something I just have to have. Today was one of those times, I saw this new Savage Dragon Action Figure(the last one wasn't that good which is why it's in the $5.99 Bin)and gobbled it up, not even looking at the price tag(which I still don't know). They also had a Judge Dredd that looked awesome but Alas, money was thin today so only one figure.

Now apparently while I was absent from the "Figure Realm" ToyBiz changed their names to Marvel Toys and they got a hold of liscenes to pretty much all the Comic Book Companies: Dark Horse, Image, Top Cow, & 2000 AD. I didn't realize this until I looked on the back of the Card and was quite confused, but the internet is your friend kiddos remember that.

Anyways onto the Figure, This Action Figure is apart of the "Legendary Comic Book Heroes" line which includes Ripclaw, Judge Dredd, Super Patriot, Madman, Witch Blade and Savage Dragon. We immediately get the "Build-a-Figure" crap with this series. Something which I hated about the ML figures except the Sentinel series - which was cool but I never got all the pieces - which is way I hate Build-a-figure, you have to buy all the figures. This series you can build "Pitt", never heard of him.

Anyways, These Figures are on ML Scale so everything is nice. neat and sized right. I don't know if I got a variant, on the box Dragon has no shirt, but my figure has his Classic Wife Beater on. Articulation is awesome, what you'd expect from a ML figure, maybe better. Now Dragon is a Big Guy and this figure's Proportions are just right, Big Arms, Big torso and smaller legs, just like the comic book. Paint Job is pretty damn good, nice details such as his hair on his arms and chest. Head Sculpt is great, looks just like him! Although his Fin bends and won't stay Straight.

However, something that pisses me off, no Accessories. WTF? No guns? Come on, I know Dragon is a Brawler but he did use Guns a little bit in the comics! I'll probably pick up Dredd some other time, hopefully this weekend. Overall this figure gets a 9/10. Not bad at all. Let's pray we get more Indie goodness!

Crosses fingers for Grendel (Hunter Rose) and Eastman and Laird's TMNT Comic figures
