There's no place like Space Sector 2814.

Hasbro Marvel Legends Wave 4

March 5, 2008

This particular wave was supposed to come out this month. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your stand on the whole thing), Hasbro wasn’t satisfied with how their Astonishing Beat came out, so they’re delaying the whole line to a mid-april release.

 

 The build-a-figure is Nemesis, also known as Holocaust. He’s the son of Apocalypse and he played a vital role in the alternate timeline of Age of Apocalypse. A little bit of trivia I picked up from his wki page- apparently, his name was changed to Nemesis after pressure from Jewish groups. Definitely, it’s offensive to have a big molten radioactive guy named Holocaust because clearly, Hitler had two body guards that looked exactly like that.

 

The figures from the line are as follows:

 

Black Bolt (Blackagar Boltagon)- Leader of inhumans.

Now, the sculpt looks really nice, and the texturing looks very realistic. I doubt that the actual figure would look anything like the prototype, but if it’s anything like this, it’s something to look forward to. I like this wing things, they seem to be made out of cloth. And see, he’s even doing that "Live long and prosper" thing. Well, he does live on the moon.
