![]() The cape is kind of an awkward design, but it’s been translated into three dimensions well enough. It just captures the character quite nicely, and is very sharply defined features. This may well be my favorite Legends Vision sculpt. I was a bit disappointed with the last Vision head sculpt, so I’m happy they didn’t re-use it a third time here. He’s built on the Bucky Cap body, with a new head and an add-on for the cape. The figure is about 6 1/4 inches tall and he has 32 points of articulation. That said, I like it a bit better then his first Now! look. Also, the red bits make it look like he’s running around half naked. If I’m honest, it feels a little over designed, though, and I miss the yellow. This time around, he’s based on his Daniel Acura-designed look from the latter half of Remender’s Uncanny Avengers run, which also happens to be the costume he’s wearing currently. Vision’s a popular guy! This is his third Legend in the last year, and the second time he’s been in one of these exclusive three-packs. Sure, he doesn’t always have them, but he does most of the time, and their omission here is a bit glaring. FalCap includes his mighty shield, which is all well and good, but what he doesn’t include are his wings. He could be a little better, but he could also could be far worse. The application of said paint is decent enough, though there’s still a bit of slop, especially on the switches from blue to white. These colors look about right for Sam’s comics design, and still have enough vibrance to give him some pop. The shades on the colors are a bit more subdued than those on Now! Cap, which is fair, since he was probably a little too bright. All in all, it’s one of those sculpts that has some minor flaws here and there, but looks a lot better as a whole, which is what really matters. His hair seems a little closer cropped than his usual comics appearance, but it’s not like it’s completely wrong or anything. I wasn’t 100% sold on the head sculpt at first glance (as with so many of Hasbro’s Cap sculpts, I think it looks a little too mean for the character), but after having it in hand, I actually don’t mind it. The new pieces match up well with the older parts, and are pretty decent sculpts on their own terms as well. The Now! Cap parts aren’t a perfect match for FalCap’s design, but they’re close enough to work without too much trouble. He has the arms, legs, and pelvis from that figure, along with an all-new head, torso, belt, and shoulders. ![]() Structurally, he shares several pieces with 2014’s Marvel Now! Cap figure. Bonus points for being the first Sam Wilson Legend since the Toy Biz run! The figure is about 6 1/2 inches tall and he has 32 points of articulation. We’ve gotten him in both Minimate and 3 3/4-inch form, so it was about time we got a FalCap Marvel Legend. So, exactly who’s left out is really up to you. Of course, flip-side, Sam and Vision are both part of the main Avengers line-up, and Kate isn’t. Sam and Kate both follow a firm legacy heroes theme, which kind of makes Vision stick out a bit. This trio is exclusive to Toys R Us and is loosely themed around looks from the post- Axis Marvel Now! stuff. There have also been two boxed sets: the Civil War Spider-Man set (which had a movie Spidey alongside re-decoed versions of Cap and Iron Man), and a set containing Sam Wilson as Cap, Kate Bishop as Hawkeye, and Vision…as Vision! On top of that, there have been a number of exclusive items, with Walgreens getting two figures right on top of each other, and Walmart getting a pair of exclusives (that I still need to find). The Abomination and Dr Strange series are also starting to hit in some areas as well. Wow, Hasbro sure is swamping us with Marvel Legends, aren’t they? After a fair delay, the Giant-Man Series finally hit just about everywhere, very closely trailed by the Juggernaut Series. SAM WILSON – CAPTAIN AMERICA, VISION, & KATE BISHOP – HAWKEYE ![]()
