TOY REVIEW: Marvel's Quasar


The final revelation from wave 3! Quasar!

First Impression:
For this wave, Hasbro teased us with silhouette images of these four figures in their Pulse website and revealed them on separate days.

        With the final reveal, I'm so stoked to have Quasar in the line! I initially thought it would be Dracula, but glad I was wrong though I wouldn't mind Hasbro retooling this for a future Dracula release. Upon the reveal, he was really the one that I wanted the most among the four and I'm pretty sure he's the most sought after one in this set. With Quasar aboard we're one figure away from completing "The Annihilator" team! Hasbro... please give us Ronan.

Here's the rest of the assortment for 2016 Mavel Legends Series Wave 3


Each case consists of:
x1 of each Quasar, Roge, Hydro-Man, Morbius,
x1 reissues of Spider-Man, Armored Spider-Man, Black Panther


Where did I acquire it?: Kramer Toy Warden
How much?: SRP of Php 750 each / Preorder Php 4200 (set of 6)
Condition during acquisition: MOC

Packaging:


Accessories:

Sculpt:


+ Facial sculpt is on point.
+ Flowing hair sculpt
+ Shoulder armor is one with the cape, to avoid hindering shoulder articulation
+ Quantum bands!
+ Sculpted insignia on knees.


Paint:
+ Perfect choice of color tones.
+Neatly painted gold lines and insignia.
+ Neat paint application overall
- Some shading would have made the figure look even more great.


Articulation:
It uses the new standard body mold for Marvel Legends series, meaning a cut back 
on some of the articulation that we were used to during the MU days.

Size Comparison:
MU Adam Warlock, MLS Quasar, MU Nova (switched legs)
MU Drax (switched legs), MLS Quasar, MU Capt. Marvel

Overall Grade

        Overall, this figure is another solid one both figure and character wise. It looks and feels great on hand. I really love it when you come close to building a team and in this case, The Annihilators. So I'm really hoping Hasbro would put out a comic version of Ronan soon. I highly recommend Quasar, and if you just have to pick one in this wave, this is the one.

Sculpt - 5/5
