Marvel Legends Infinite Series Build a Figure Thanos Wave Hulk

I picked up Hulk from the Thanos BAF wave recently as I loved the look and size of him in packaging and I had about enough money to buy one of the wave!

This wave offers:

Hulk (Age of Ultron)
Captain America (Age of Ultron)
Iron Man Mk 43 (Age of Ultron)
Batroc (Comic)
Hellcat (Comic)
Spider-Woman (Comic)
Thanos (BAF)

Out of all of these, other than Hulk, I'd like Cap and Spider-Woman - and probably Thanos, but as he's the BAF I doubt I'll see him.

But Hulk does come with Thanos' right arm, which is about all else Hasbro could squeeze into the packaging.

Out of packaging and Hulk is exactly that: a hulking big figure. I'd seen some earlier figures where Hulk's torso was a completely different green compared to the rest of his body. Thankfully this seems to have been rectified as mine is only a slightly different shade compared to the rest of him.

The only other colours used on Hulk are on his tight pants. These are a purple/blue colour with a red/purple stripe and the Avengers A on the side. The detailing in these is a nice touch as the rest of the figure is so smooth.

And here is the emerald giant out of packaging

Personally I think Hulk looks awesome. The only thing I'd change would be to give Hulk a darker wash over the green, just to make the detailing pop. I like his snarling face and hair sculpt a lot though.

Hulk's articulation is really pretty good. The head's on a ball joint, the shoulders are on a ball and hinge, there's bicep swivel, double jointed elbows, the wrists rotate and hinge, and there's an ab crunch.

Hulk's hips swing out and up, there's thigh swivel, double jointed knees, and his ankles hinge, pivot and swivel.

He looks like quite a simple figure, but with other Legends he looks great. I'm very glad I went for Hulk first in this wave. The only other figure I'd be really disappointed not to pick up would be Spider-Woman, but hopefully I'll be able to get her for a reasonable price in the next few weeks.

Marvel Legends Infinite Series Allfather Build a Figure Wave Hawkeye

Classic Hawkeye! Instantly I was a fan of this figure even in packaging: I was drawn to the purples and dark blues of the classic costume, and how it works so well on this figure.

Half of the packaging is taken up with the biggest piece of the Odin BAF - the torso and skirt tunic piece

Hawkeye comes with 2, very obvious, accessories.

His bow

Which is a fine enough sculpt, but I really wish, if Hasbro had to make it a solid colour, they could have made it black.

He of course also comes with his quiver filled with arrows

Thankfully the arrows have a little colour highlights on the feathers, but again, this is a solid purple sculpt with a peg to fit to Hawkeye's back.

Hawkeye is a good looking figure, but not without it's flaws.

Firstly, straight out of the box he has really loose hips which means my Hawkeye doesn't stand particularly well. Hawkeye also had some very stiff joints, a hair drier sorted this out and it had the added bonus of softening the plastic armour over Hawkeye's shoulders which means it sits much more neatly now. My final nit pick with this figure is that the quiver doesn't plug all that securely into the hole in the back.

Hawkeye uses the Winter Soldier's left arm to give it an armoured look but this time painted purple to match the rest of his suit. Clint also gets some seriously spiffy purple buccaneer boots (which I love the classic look of), his mask has darker purples in it, and his detachable soft plastic armour tunic has different purples again. The majority of Clint's body is sculpted in a dark blue purple colour which contrasts nicely to the purple.

The paint overall is really neat on the Hawkeye I picked up with good applications in his eyes especially. The colour choice for his flesh on his face is also really nice.

Hawkeye has the standard Marvel Legends articulation, with his head looking up and down, left and right, his shoulders have ball and hinge joints allowing them to swivel and rotate up and out, he has double jointed elbows and his wrists rotate and hinge up and down.

Barton has an ab crunch which is unfortunately a little hindered by the soft plastic goods, his hips, while being really loose, also swing outwards and forwards and back. There's a thigh cut, double jointed knees, boot cut and ankle pivot and hinges.

If you're building a classic Avengers team, you'd be crazy not to pick this guy up - despite the flaws he is a great looking figure on display. Also, whether you want to complete Odin or King Thor, you're going to need a torso for him.
