Marvel 6 Inch Legends Series Iceman

Marvel Legends X-Men Series Iceman arrived today, Tuesday, April 15 in perfect mint condition and looks just like the Iceman character from the original Marvel X-Men cartoons and comic book series. The light blue translucent plastic makes him look just like the real Marvel's X-Men Iceman. He will be a great addition to our X-Men Heroes and Villains collection.

This insanely hard to get a hold of figure is absolutely the BEST Iceman for your collection. He's not as gummy and clumsy as the retro wave Iceman and he's not as hard to see as the Apocalypse Iceman. He's truly the best out of the available figures. The icy blue color makes him easy to see with your team and the features aren't lost on him as they are with the darker blue Apocalypse Iceman. He's worth every dime!

Iceman is a great figure. The entire wave of Xmen legends figures are all great, quality toys. Marvel Legends perfectly walk the line of being display pieces and play toys.Iceman here feels a bit more rubbery than the rest though since he is a transparent figure this will probably help prevent cracking that certain transparent plastics can be prone to. His sculpt is really nice and gives some really cool ice spike details, particularly on his hands. My only complaint would be his upper thigh joints are incredibly tight and I was afraid I might break his legs if I tried to twist them. However that may just be my figure. Overall he's one of my favorite figure pick ups in a long time.And also the packaging on this line is absolutely beautiful if you like to display your figs in the box.

Bobby Blake at last. "ICE-MAN" Unlike most he's always been my favorite X-MEN character. An included original ICE-MAN head (without the spikes) would have been a great inclusion. And some ICE BEAMS.Of course the ultimate stand for the ICE-MAN would have been a well designed ICE-SLIDE (Guess I'll have to make one).Passed on the other ICE-MAN figures that were all said to have brittle joints. His are very flexy so no problem there. Oh and he even has those nice fold out shoulder joints.

It's amazing I love this iceman action figure.

The sculpt is fine. The spiky ice on the back is removable. They intentionally made this figure a little rubbery since most translucent plastics tend to crack over time. Min has difficulty standing. Not a bad figure but he could have benefited from a bandana clad head sculpt, some ice blast effects or extra hands.

If you are going to have an X-Men wave, you should probably add in one of the original members from the 1963 comic X-Men #1. Back then, Bobby looked more like a snowball, so I am glad they went with a newer version of the figure, though it could have been fun playing with a well articulated snowman.Iceman is molded in clear and blue parts. He is based off of Spider-Man's body, so you know you are going to get some extra good movement from him. He has one fist and one open hand. Good for fighting and adding ice effects later.He does not come with any extra accessories. Pegged in the back is an ice collar. It gives a little something extra to the figure for a nice touch.Along with the ice on his back, he also has a great head sculpt that looks like his hair is ice. He also has ice effects on his forearms, hands, and lower shins. He is in bare feet, which seem about right, but feels a little funny. We don't have a lot of super heroes running around in their bare feet. Not that Bobby needs shoes anyway.Overall this is a pretty decent figure. It is nothing special, though the clear body is something fun. All of the inner workings of the toy are there on display. He would probably be a figure I would have been able to skip, if not for the Juggernaut arm I needed. He will take up residence on the shelf, and probably not come out to play very often. Then again, I may have to play with him just to see what he can do under some special lighting.

The gummy feel of the plastic allows him to pose freely. Great sculpt and translucent plastic. Ankle joints were a little loose out of the packaging, but floor polish can fix that right up.
