Hasbro Marvel Legends Retro Carded Silver Samurai
I passed on most of the retro carded X-Men, only because I have most of them in some previous incarnation. I did grab Dazzler, but Silver Samurai was a must. Why? His epic battle against Wolverine in one of the first Limited Series comics in the early 80s.
I had the original chromed out version from Toy Biz back in the day. He was a cool figure except his legs didn't move!
ReplyDeleteLooking back at the ToyBiz days, they really came out with a lot of cool stuff. X-Men was at its peak. I remember seeing them after graduating from college and thinking I wish I had these when I was a kid. So I bought some anyway.
DeleteI can't remember having the vintage one but I did have the Marvel Universe 4 inch version. He came in the comic pack with the same outfitted Wolverine figure Hasbro just released in the new X-Men vintage set, right? He looks very cool. It's a different look for a Marvel Legends figure and I dig it.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know there was a Marvel Universe one as well. Cool.
