Marvel Legends Maximum Series

Cue up a Maximum Liefeld Captain America next. Ugh!
How about a Liefeld Thing? I mocked one up awhile back.

Spinny hammer is on my shortlist of accessories I keep browsing Ebay for. You'd think that would be an essential pack in for anything claiming to be a Maximum Thor.


I don't know if I'd recognize an artistic-specific figure style (unless it were something really extreme like a weird Sienkiewicz Moon Knight), but I do know that Parker head looks like an effing idiot. If that's what artist-specific gets me, I'll pass.

So far that feels kind of like the thing for Maximum figures, though. Even the ones I was even kind of interested in lost me when I saw, like, two nearly-identical Spider-Man masks or the absolute weirdest choices for Hulk heads. I may've missed the announcement, but if this line *is* dedicated to artistic-specific sculpts, I've a feeling I wouldn't like those artists' work.

It doesn't help that what's considered Maximum accessories are massive web balls and a random horn.
So it's not for you, just like a lot of collectors here liked stuff I passed on. If I spent a lot of time reading comics I loved as a kid then it's exciting and fun for me to finally get it in plastic. I think there's enough Parker heads out there to meet different tastes.

I love Maximum, it's exactly what I wanted and a lot of effort goes into it. Like Dwight said everything isn't for everyone, this line though, so far, is definitely for me.
 
I'm gonna be hard pressed not to shorten Mjiolnir's handles.
I'm thinking of taking one of my spare classic Thor hammers (that I apparently have 2 or 3 spares of for some reason), filling in the writing with some epoxy, shortening the handle from Max Thor, and fitting the classic hammer head to the max handle.
