You said it best. I'm really glad they chose this one instead.

I liked his suit from the first issue of his solo book but the suit represented in this Legend had become my favorite. Still is, his more recent suits are over-engineered and hard to look at.

As a character, Quasar was ok.. kinda always felt like Green Lantern lite. He had been portrayed as a rookie in his initial Avengers run which was fun but by the time he appeared in Operation Galactic Storm he was leading a contingent of Avengers to the Kree home world. Time flies in comics. Kinda. If the story needs it to.

I remember thinking about 91 how boring and generic Quasar looked. Just another blonde haired blue-eyed pretty boy. Ironically, 30 years later he stands out on the shelf as something you hardly see anymore.

Maybe they'll reissue Captain Marvel with a Paul Newman head sculpt.

Ha. Actually Mar-Vell had a very distinctive (Jim Starlin) hair style; Toybiz got it right, even the 4" Marvel Universe version was good. But this last one looks like a dude who has two different toupees slapped on his head. Also, the colors were way to drab and muted, and they didnt bother to give him his segmented boots...but they did do it for the walgreens Moon Knight.

His headsculpt does indeed have a resemblance to 70s Robert Redford. How I wish they had tried harder with the head for Captain Marvel. That one came out sloppy and disheveled; the Toybiz version was better and more accurate.

I like that they went with bold, vibrant colors for this figure instead of the muted red. Really digging the attention to detail on the quantum bands. They cheaped out (again) on the boots though and the special effects. Painting on boots like this just looks cheap, rushed, amateurish.

Actually, no, I won't say that 'cause thus far the amateur work shows far more care and craftmanship in this area.

Although I have spent countless hours, and too much gas to mention, searching my metro area Walgreens since this past summer for both Quasar and Nova, I will remain cautiously optimistic about getting my hands on Quasar before the year ends.

Hope people can get Robert Redford and his Fire Fists

Yesterday I couldn't find anything on Walgreens under "Marvel Legends", today I could. But I noticed they're listing as "Legends Collection Marvel's Nova". Odd.

No Quasar yet.
