Werewolf By Night) and Man-Thing!

Marvel Legends X-Men 2022 Series Action Figures Review courtesy of Entertainment Earth!

The Blot was so excited to add these new Marvel Legends X-Men 2022 Series action figures to my collection thanks to my friends at Entertainment Earth! I picked up three figures in this X-Men wave – Havok, Siryn and Maggott! You can find the entire build-a-figure wave in stock at EE here: https://ee.toys/H3G2HR (affiliate link).

Marvel Legends X-Men 2022 Series Action Figures Review courtesy of Entertainment Earth!

First off, can you ever have enough Havok Marvel Legends figures!?!  This is my third one and first in his classic first appearance costume.  The first two were his ’90 X-Force blue and yellow uniform and his more recent Uncanny Avengers costume (an update on his classic look). I especially like that Hasbro gave Havok new power special effects from the previous two releases.  These are translucent blue hard plastic special effects, and there’s even a giant one that fits into his back.

Siryn was also a must get from this series as she’s definitely needed for my ‘90s New Mutants / X-Force collection. I love how they created her wings / cape with real fabric to allow for better movement and poseability. And then there’s Maggott, who is… well… Maggott! He’s by far the best and worst mutant ever!!! What a name, what a power – he’s just soooo ‘90s. Again, you can find the entire build-a-figure wave in stock at EE here: https://ee.toys/H3G2HR (affiliate link). Thanks to Entertainment Earth for the opportunity to get my hands and review these fantastic figures!
