Deadpool (Udon)

Custom Action Figures - Marvel

Thursday, 08 December 2005

Sure, I suppose you could say it was just a matter of time after making a Taskmaster that I'd end up making a Deadpool to go along with him. But you see, I hate Deadpool. Or at least I used to. He and all those freaks from X-Force and all that crap that Marvel spewed out in the mid-90's have been on the hate list for over a decade.

Then came the Marvel Legends Deadpool. Great figure, and the base for my custom. He came with a decent comic book where Deadpool fights the Hulk. Funny. I start looking for more to read. And dagnabbit, whaddaya know? I'm a fan. What's worse, I'm actually starting to like other guys from that era - I'm warming up to Bishop, and even Cable. But if I ever end up liking Gambit, I'm gonna hire Deadpool to off me.

Each 6" figure features the poseability and detail that fans expect. In addition to the full-page comic or poster book, each figure in the series will come with a character-dedicated transport.

I imagine the descriptive text is a placeholder. I couldn't find a listing for the Sasquatch variant.

Online retailer Corner Store Comics has posted new line-up information on their pre-orders pages for Marvel Legends Series 14 and Series 15. The line-ups were headlined with "ToyBiz Gets The Mojo Flowing for the 14th Legends Wave!" and "2006 Looks to Be a Banner Year for Marvel Legends Collectors!" for 14 and 15 respectively, leading to the speculation that both series will be Build-A-Figure waves, with Mojo and Hulk as the BAFs.

Up to this point, we've only seen the line-up for ML12 corroborated by an article in Toyfare #100. And while some sales boards for ML13 circulated the internet, no information has been previously leaked about ML14 and 15. This should be considered subject to change.

Taskmaster (Training Outfit)

Custom Action Figures - Marvel

Saturday, 29 October 2005

For a self-professed fan of classic costumes, I guess I've been on a bit of a modern streak recently. I was psyched to learn we would be getting a Taskmaster in Marvel Legends 11, but was a little disappointed when he was revealed to be in his classic costume. I know him best in his modern look - I haven't read a lot of Avengers, where Tasky first showed up, but on the recommendation of RoboKillah picked up the Taskmaster miniseries and the subsequent Agent X series.

Both are wildly entertaining reading, and show off Taskmaster as the true badass that he is. I knew I had to make one for myself.
