Without a paint wash anywhere on the bulky yellow upper body, the figure really does have a bit of an unfinished look to it, with the bright yellow feeling more “toy-ish” than I would prefer. I’m not too troubled by the unpainted zipper on the jacket-it’s oftentimes yellow in the comics anyway-but the main thing that really bugs me about this figure is the total lack of any kind of paint wash anywhere on the toy. Of course, few figures are perfect in this world-and the Build-A-Figure Strong Guy isn’t one of them. The shoulder pads and upper torso jacket are also stand-out parts of the costume. The mold includes an add-on belt and two add-on ankle cuffs, but these all fit so perfectly and tightly that you sort of forget they’re not part of the main mold. If this figure had to come with just one portrait, this is the ideal one I’d want. Hasbro also did a killer job on the head sculpt for this figure, which includes Guido’s trademark teethy smile, rift of hair and red-tinted glasses. The proportions on this figure are wonderfully on-model. That means he’s got a humongous torso and itty bitty legs-which Hasbro has replicated nicely for this action figure.
Strong Guy’s character design is a bit weird, as his body has awkward proportions due to being disfigured by all the kinetic energy that he’s permanently absorbed. This Hasbro Guido feels a lot like basically a vastly improved version of that vintage Toybiz toy.
#MARVEL LEGENDS X FORCE DEADPOOL SERIES#
I have pretty fond memories of the Toybiz X-Men 5” series Strong Guy figure I had as a kid, which was a bit undersized, but a fun action figure nonetheless. Heck, they even included Forge! And now, one year later, the team is complete (although not necessarily in the ideal matching outfits for the ere) with the 2020 Deadpool/X-Force Legends Strong Guy Build-A-Figure! When Hasbro released the first-ever Marvel Legends Multiple Man in 2018, I thought that there was little chance that they’d actually go forward and release the other five members of the classic Peter David X-Factor squad in six inch figure form.īut proving that Hasbro should never be underestimated, they ended up releasing four of the five remaining members of the team (Havok, Polaris, Wolfsbane and Quicksilver) in 2019.
