Marvel Legends Series Angel, Deluxe X-Men Comics Collectible 6-Inch Action Figure

Okay…where to start?? Well first off I like comic books. Not what they’re passing off today but the (and I loathe using this word) classic original books I grew up with that started it all!! And I also still like action figures! Since the original G.I. Joe to Mego Superheroes, Star Trek, Planet of the Apes to the original Kenner Star Wars, I’ve enjoyed buying certain figures and I’ve been buying the occasional Marvel Legends characters.I’ve been collecting all the representations of the 70s/80s X-Men as they release them (still waiting on a classic green and yellow costume Banshee to complete my Cockrum/Byrne era X-Men…are you listening Hasbro) and they FINALLY released a fantastic figure of the Avenging Angel!! I now have a complete original five X-Men: Cyclops (from the Dark Phoenix two-pack), Marvel Girl/Phoenix, Beast, Iceman and now Angel!! (Still waiting on an accurate original costume 5-pack! Are you still listening Hasbro??)On to the figure! This is an excellent figure with great poseability, extra classic head and extra hands in his red and white 70s Champions variant of the original blue and white costume from the Thomas/Adams era X-Men. The only drawback was the gloves and boots were yellow on the red version. But… don’t let that deter you!! Now…let’s get to the best part…the wings! Finally an Angel figure with a worthy set of wings! They aren’t bulky or static, they have a fantastic range of posing possibilities!! But not only that…the figure actually stands with the wings in multiple poses!! Can you believe that?! Definitely better than the static wings on the Angel in that funky Toys r Us “original” X-Men set they tried to pass off and WAAAAAY better than that Archangel figure from a few years back that was just garbage!!So…in closing…this is a fantastic figure that belongs in your X-Men collection. Don’t pass this one up!

After several years, Hasbro finally delivers what is their definitive figure of this character, or well, at least it will be until they get around to releasing a Deluxe figure of Archangel.Despite making use of an already known mold, it has a great finish (especially the sculpted face) and a good enough articulation to have fun posing it on display. I have seen some comments criticizing the old ab-crunch, however, this helps the figure to support the weight and balance of those huge wings. Which, by the way, make this figure totally worth the money with a great possibility that I'm sure will make your X-Men collection shine.If you're looking to complete the greatest team in Marvel Comics, this figure is for you and I recommend you go for it when you get a chance. Just make a big space in your display, because you'll need it.

I got the item 15 days before announced. Good condition.

Love this figure to build up the classic X-Men. If you're a comic buff you'd appreciate this figure as he's a must have for any X-Men completist. Great articulation an alternate head and I can see this figure increasing in value for the collector!

A high quality pinless body with expert painting make this figure a must have for your X-Men collection. Highly articulated, the figure can be posed in several high action positions. If you're a fan of Marvel Legends figures, this is a must have.

I couldn't be happier with this figure. He came in mint condition and is better in person. The pics don't do him much justice. If you're a collector like me, then you're gonna want to get your hands on this figure. Now, I'm waiting on Archangel to arrive.

Love the revamped figure which is definitely an upgrade from its prior release. The standard head is the best though, the optional smiling head piece looks bad. Not exactly sure what they were trying to accomplish with the awkward grin, but it doesn’t really fit the figure, should have been a smolder instead or something. But it’s a great addition to my collection over all! The figure is very heavy so take care when using a stand, make sure it’s sturdy, or center balanced.
