Marvel Legends Gamerverse

He’s a frustrating pose - I was doing my usual Gamerverse ‘try to recreate some of the sprite’s poses’ game, and he’s making barely any. His hips and ankles don’t even allow for much of a walking/charging stance.

Buuuut, given all my figures end up on shelf in fairly vanilla poses, his heft and presence are undeniable.

That is high praise. I generally found the Select figures to be outstanding. Thank you.

To be clear I don't have him yet so my opinion is derived from other people's reviews. The linked review below is the best one I found comparing all three versions of the figure, and he went with this new version on every category except paint (he picked Select) and accessories (he picked the 2-pack with Colossus version) which I agree with.

If you were to add that AliExpress Hulk parts bootleg into the comparison that one probably wins on articulation, but I would still pick this new one overall due to the giant size factor.

 
It’s weird. Every review starts by saying how damn big he is. And still, upon opening him I was instantly struck by quite how damn big he is…

I may rig a bent girder for him to clutch, as per his opening animation. I’m also modding his power effect to sit on his head - it’s a decent size for that, so deciding to make it a punch effect was an odd creative decision.

I wish I could have a few DOZEN of these. The Mezco Fantastic Four set has one with a bendy-wire in it for Thing that's fabulous, but tough to army-build those with the set costing $420. :oops:

Didn’t the old colossus and juggernaut set come with a bent girder? I know I’ve seen that accessory somewhere before.

That old X-Men Classics Colossus came with the bendy I-beam. I have two of them so, I think it was also packaged with someone else at some point?

@EnigmaticClarity I just ran a few searches and actually stumbled upon a pack of 4 ABS plastic I-beams which you could conceivably heat-and-bend yourself if you're intent on adding to your display.

These Gamerverse figures are fantastic! Captain America has had some wonderful figures lately, and I like him in scale armor. But this Gamerverse has great proportions and the butterfly joints are so nice. Love the new yelling head sculpt. Definitely in the running for the best Cap figure. And I love the shield effect.

Venom was mostly an afterthought to me in this set, but in hand, the proportions are awesome. So big and powerful. Are the deltoids and biceps/triceps all new? He has such a strong physique. The color is striking and cool in person.

Having the new 97 White Queen in hand and seeing reviews pop up for Juggernaut got me wondering if Hasbro plans on continuing with the X-Men arcade game? We only have the sentinels from last year which were fun, but if they wanted to do more this new Emma could easily be adapted for that and Juggernaut is basically a head swap away as well. It would be an easy way to get more out of those unique Juggernaut tools, anyway.
 
He did indeed have a canon. And White Queen could make spears of light come out of her head or something? There's enough goofy stuff from that game and Pryde of the X-Men to make a pretty entertaining figure line. A 7' scaled Magneto with a big "Welcome to die!" speech balloon would move some units.
 
Finally got Shuma-Gorath in. I haven't assembled him yet, and I can tell by the indents that the pegs plug into that they probably won't come back out once inserted. Do you all have a preferred way you arranged the tentacles? Three of them are up/down swivels and three are side-to-side, so I'm guessing we should do a different type every other tentacle. So which one did you put on the top? I'm guessing it should be up/down on top and then alternate all of the others around the clock from there., but I'm still mulling it over.

This Cap is definitely tops - I'd love to see a darker blue version with scales sculpted on the torso for a more modern comic aesthetic to fight the updated Extremis Iron Man :)
