Corvus Glaive vs. Vision

Corvus Glaive vs. Vision

Hasbro Marvel Legends

The coolest looking member of the Black Order is here...held ransom as a store exclusive (Walmart) in a 2-pack with an MCU Loki no one needs!  Ugh...into the "junk" drawer!

At least he comes with the Cosmic Cube, right?  While it is geometrically correct to call it a "tesseract,"  I refuse to do so in relation to the MCU.  Just another example of how ashamed the writers and producers are of  the "goofy" comic book source material they adapt.  And, no...it does not have an Infinity Gem inside of it for plot convenience.

Anyway, Corvus looks great.  He has the most detail in his costume compared to his associates, which Hasbro has nailed.  Being a later release like Ebony Maw, he really hurts Proxima Midnight's execution.  Too late for a do-over at this point!  He comes with his double-bladed staff for maximum robot impaling.

This classic Vision is from the second series of vintage-carded figures.  A bit pricey without a build a figure part, but this was the only way to get him.  He does come with a re-used/repainted Ultron head, which is pretty cool, even if there has never really been a decent classic body for him.

This figure replaces one of the sore spots in my remaining Toy Biz figures.  He was so gangly and loose...nightmare shoulders!  Though some TB figures did have great headsculpts.  I think this one looks a bit like Cary Elwes.  I like the solid, sculpted line separating his face/cowl, and the shading around the eyes, cheeks, and mouth really set it apart from this new release.  I also dig the black eyes.  Enough to make me do a lil custom work with my dremel to have an alternate head on this new body.  While it lacks the metallic sheen, I do like the way the old head looks on the new buck.  He's a robot...he can change his head whenever he feels like it, right?

"Age of Ultron" sucks.
