Bucky Cap first graced us with his presence in Marvel Legends plastic as part of the Return of Marvel Legends, all the way back in 2012 in the Arnim Zola wave. He ended up being the go to mold for a massive swath of figures in the Legends line go forward to the tune of at least 70 characters! That 2012 Buck(y) was a great figure, and worthy of such re-use. And now, in 2023, thanks to Walmart / Hasbro getting together again, we have a beautiful update to this classic, fantastic Marvel character, Bucky Barns as Captain America!

Gun and holster fit perfectly, gun fits perfectly in hand
Shield is back-mountable
The colors, the black is deep, dark, and perfectly cut / lined up with the flag abdomen into the star / blue chest in just the right metallic
Face really looks great, looks human, looks like Bucky from the comics!
Red gloves really pop
Outstanding articulation here, butterfly shoulders, thigh cuts, calf cuts, all you need to let Bucky be Bucky in poses
The Bad
This is a slick re-visit to Bucky Cap, a well deserved one at the very least! I have no complaints
The Rest
This is Bucky is a Walmart exclusive figure, so assume Walmart kicked in on some of the tooling to get Buck to market. Worth every penny they paid! Unlike so many Walmart exclusives, you may just be able to get this one. At the time of posting, the link below works to add him to cart. I guess maybe a lot of people still have 2012 Bucky and don’t want to upgrade? But I gotta tell you, this one is absolutely worthwhile to upgrade, and 100% purchase worthy if you’ve never had a Bucky Cap in your Legends roster!

A little out of order, as the litlgeeks will tell you, but today, after Chasm, we look at Ben Reilly, and note some interesting differences between Chasm and ole Ben. This is another slick Legends figure!
(litlgeeks and MUReview may receive a small commission if links in this post are used to make purchases)
As mentioned in the Chasm review, this is a completely different body / head. That is by far my favorite part, of this otherwise awesome figure that has…
TOE ARTICULATION!!!
Also has all the other spider-articulation! Butterfly shoulder, ab-crunch, all the leg cuts
Really really sharp and clean paint here
Comic costume is dead on once again
Hasbro continues to nail it with Spiders! And my shelves …are exploding!
The Bad
No complaints, none at all!
The Rest
The pair of Ben Reilly and Ben Reilly in this wave are all we jumped in on, but the full wave is great, all listed below! We are just at a point where shelf space is …done. It’s done, so we have to pick and choose. Chasm and Ben were too awesome to pass up, and you shouldn’t pass em up either!

The litlgeeks are become cherry pickers! litlninja looked at this new Spider wave and was most excited for 2 of 6. So we accommodated, and the litlgeeks abide.Today, we take a look at Chasm, what happens when Parker and his clone Ben Reilly fight? Parker wins, Reilly becomes Chasm, hilarity ensues!

Chasm includes green glowing ‘goo’ effects for his wrists
Unbelievably well articulated, butterfly shoulders, ab crunch, all the leg cuts
Paint is beautiful and sharp
Comic perfect costume
The colors here, just stunning
Notably different ‘buck’ / ‘base mold’ than Ben Reilly, and given that they are technically the same person, I like that it adds a layer of interesting to differentiate
LOVE THIS FIGURE!
The Bad
No complaints, but the kids will tell you he should have toe articulation
The Rest
Chasm is a fun character, and this is a fantastic figure. It all comes together when it all goes wrong for Ben Reilly in Chasm! Pick him up with the rest of the wave!

I’m a big Infinity Gauntlet guy. The 90s Marvel Comics run. The movies are fun, fine, love em. But, for me, some of the best comics ever written, Infinity Gauntlet, Marvel Comics, 90s. And a big part of that run, Drax the Destroyer (OG Drax), and Moondragon. Now, to have these two absolutely classic characters in Marvel Legends Plastic. I’m geeking out more than a little. Let’s see how the litlgeeks feel, and then I’ll tell you how I feel about this glorious two-pack!
(litlgeeks and MUReview may receive a small commission if links in this post are used to make purchases)
The bright purple, the bright green, absolutely perfect
This figure feels almost gel like and buttery, and I love it. I am curious to see how the joints hold up over time, but this is definitely uncommon plastic for me to encounter in Legends
Accessories are great, the belt, the cuffs, he has alt grabby hands and a great alt screaming head
Stoic head looks excellent as well
The attention to detail, I love the cape skull clip
The cape by itself, flowing and beautiful
Moondragon
The Daughter of Drax…so so so cool here!!
Those earings!
Where’s her belly button at!?! This is comic accuracy, she doesn’t have one!
The comic outfit, the classic comic outfit featuring the wild collar is just dead on
Again, attention to detail, the crescent moon cape clasp
I for one cannot get enough of, what I will call, the best of all time, Marvel Legends hair. After my own heart, it is lovely
Feels like the same plastic as Drax and I really dig it
Cape, as with Drax’s really has a life of it’s own
The Rest
This set for me…man, we are getting there, the list is so much shorter than it ever was, and these two are massive hitters on the Cosmic side. Justice is coming soon to help with the New Warriors. I warn you Marvel Legends team, it’s going to be harder and harder to wow me after this. That said, this 2-pack is a must have, both figures are perfect representations of their comic selfs, and just must have characters, go on’ git’! em!

Whenever we have a chance to get our hands on an Inhuman, litlgeeks and MUReview are all in! So far, Black Bolt, Medusa. Today, Karnak. Now the long ago Marvel Universe scaled set is in full 6 inch scale! Let’s have a look at Karnak!
(litlgeeks and MUReview may receive a small commission if links in this post are used to make purchases)
Love that his dome helmet is exact for the character
The green and the white, excellent representation of the comic page
Paint is clean and sharp
Articulation here, is again outstanding, all the bells and whistles except toe articulation, which is good because this ‘martial artist’ needs to be able to get into some poses
His sash is great, doesn’t impede movement
Includes an extra set of hands for all that fighting he needs to do
Also includes the build a figure right arm piece and extra hand for Totally Awesome Hulk
The Bad
I do have a complaint here. That complaint is I still don’t have a Legends scale Lockjaw, or any other Inhumans besides Karnak here, Medusa, and Black Bolt. Let’s go!!!!
The Rest
Every Inhuman gets us closer to the full roster. I want the full roster. It’s 2023, and we need the rest of the Inhumans! It’s time. Love this Karnak, love Bolt and Medusa. Want the whole royal family desperately.

The Totally Awesome Hulk Build a Figure wave caught us off guard with announcement, and then again with really quick shipping. From this wave though, we cherry picked a little. We absolutely had to have Marvel Boy and Karnak. We are excited to check out each with you! Today, Marvel Boy!
(litlgeeks and MUReview may receive a small commission if links in this post are used to make purchases)
He’s got his awesome ‘bracelet’ blasters (his bracelets formed into blasters) Very cool how this was achieved with the blaster shape here
Belt looks great
Paint app is very clean, lines are sharp
Excellent articulation featured here, even has butterfly shoulders!
Also includes the build a figure arm piece for Totally Awesome Hulk with alt hand
The Bad
No complaints here
The Rest
Marvel Boy / Noh-Varr is a key member of the Marvel Cosmic Cast, and I’m so excited to add him to our shelves! Fans of Cosmic must buy! Fans of the Avengers need apply here too! Hasbro does an excellent job of bringing this C lister forward with an A list treatment!
