Because there is a cut joint on the bicep and the arms are fairly soft, there isn't much Which means they click into place, making them even tighter than normal. Both are VERY tight, very tough to move in and out. The biggest issue in this category is around the shoulders on Jack and Morbius. While sheĪlso has fairly thin legs, I had little trouble getting her to maintain standing poses with the wings spread.

Since thereĪre 7 figures in each wave plus a BAF, I'll be breaking them up into smaller sets for review. I've found all but one of the Spidey wave, but have a few more to go with Cap. Stores right now - one for Captain America, one for Spider-man. It's been a few months since I came across any Marvel Legends, but this line falls under the category "when it rains, it pours".
