Marvel Legends Madame Hydra (Classic) (Marvel's Controller Build-A-Figure) Video Review And Images

While I get some of the gripes people have with this, I actually like it, It's a serious improvement over the previous, do I wish it was on maybe the new Shriek Buck yah blah blah, I'll take what I can get, and I don't think this looks bad, I need me a Viper for Serpent Society and Hydra, that this one looks good for what it is, I don't see them revisiting her again for many years, and yeah hey hey, I'm not a stickler for bucks, if the figure looks good I'm down, the greens are nice, shes not hideous in the face.

Another hard pass, and this one is infuriating, because I really wanted a decent Madame Hydra and thought this time they'd get it right. Tossing her on this feeble, wobbly and warped buck is an insult.This is supposed to be a 5'9" 140lb grown woman. Its been over 10 years since the first Viper, and this one is barely better (but costs so much more). That's an embarrassment.

But oh, it doesn't stop there- they made sure to deprive her of any updates whatsoever; the only good thing here is the holsters for the weapons...the holsters they didn't give the SHIELD agents. I'm not sure the Shriek mold could've done her justice but it would've been a damn sight better than this waste. Even the head sculpt is just "okay". Better than that mockery they used years ago, but what they should've done is included a spare head that had the facial scar. Really missed opportunities here.

The comparison shot shows you just how little effort the hasbro team put into this.

But SINCE the SHIELD agents didnt come with holsters they can justify charging more for the inevitable release of the Army builders

Im clearly in the minority on this one but I like this figure. The simplicity works for her design. I will get her when she goes on sale

That being said, for $25 this is a joke. This is basically the Army builders without any of the bells and whistles and at a higher cost.

Hasbro is drunk if they think these bare bones releases are worth the cost. At the very least, for the cost, extra heads should be standard

Well I'm getting her and painting her hair a black. My first exposure to her was in X-Men with black hair

They had two redos to do in this wave and both of them are at best marginally better to figures that weren't good in the first place. Very disappointing.

Nothing to add to this. You said it all in succinct manor, my friend. We're basically paying $25 for a single head sculpt.

Constantly based on the first Madame Hydra figure, so I'll be getting this one

100% agree! This was such a lazy release that it seems pointless. Easy pass.

Seconded. Ive had about enough of these chicken legs.
