Marvel Legends X-Men wave 2017, Warlock (Technarch).

WARLOCK

Warlock
The alien being called Warlock came from an unidentified world in an unspecified location in outer space. Warlock's race was a sentient form of "techno-organic" life, which resembled circuitry and machinery in various ways. Members of this race gave birth to great numbers of offspring, who resided in a "creche," although the process of birth may have been very different for this race than it was for life forms native to Earth. Children of this race proved their right to exist by battling their parents to the death; either the child killed the parent, or the parent slew the child.

Warlock was the son of the Magus, the ruler of his native world and apparently its most powerful being. Warlock recognized his mutation when he realized that he did not care to slay his father. This change in idealism marked Warlock a mutant in his race. Fearful of being slain in combat by the Magus, Warlock fled his native planet, but was pursued through outer space by the Magus himself. Warlock found himself approaching Earth.

Attracted by unusual energy sources, Warlock first crashed through Asteroid M, the base of the superhuman mutant, Magneto, destroying it, and finally landed on Earth near Professor Charles Xavier's mansion, which held various alien Shi'ar technology, sensing the artificial intelligence of the mansion's Shi'ar computers.

Prof. Xavier's mansion was the home and headquarters of two teams of superhuman mutants, the New Mutants and the X-Men. Disoriented by his new surroundings and terribly frightened, Warlock clashed with the New Mutants, who at first regarded him as a threat.

Warlock's life energies ebbed so much that the despairing young alien lay near death. The New Mutants summoned their friend Doug Ramsey, who succeeded in initiating communication with Warlock, and the New Mutants befriended the alien. With Professor Xavier's permission, Warlock joined their group...



Warlock 360 GIF. Don't this dude look a lot like some Star XXX droid? Lol! Do they intend to make this figure look like C**O? 😂

The height of this figure is around 9 inches, the tallest among my Marvel Legends action figures.

Close up on Warlock face, not really know things about Warlock, but I can feel the craziness of the character from this figure, haha.

Really impress about the details of the hairs/dreadlocks.

The details on this figure is beautiful, those bronze dry brush finish are really good.

He is yet the most complicated detailing figure in my Marvel Legends collections.

Even the forearm looks beautiful. 

Look at those legs...

...so nice...

Forward/backward neck movement is good, head can turn 360.

Arm articulation is good, but it is a bit limited by the hose/cable(it is in soft plastic).

Ribs area is on ball joint, but only good in swivel, and he got no waist joint.

Hip and knee articulation is good, but ankle joint is bad, a little bit tilting and sadly poor forward/backward movement.

Come with a weapon, a saw blade.

Another side, the blade can't turn, it is in whole piece.

Saw blade on the arm.

Another side. (the tube side look a lot better)

He look really crazy with the saw blade.

I know he can turn into many things in the comics, sadly Hasbro only give him one weapon. So, can this pretend to be projectile weapon? Lol.

X-Men series all line up!

Comparing to all the big guys, BAF non-BAF. He is the tallest.

X-Men wave 2017 line up. Not planning to keep the rest of the figures in wave 2017, not really know and like them.

Crossover comparing to Sky/Black Shadow, he almost reach the height of Leader Class Black Shadow.

"X team, move out!"

This really look like a bronze statue from some sculptor, haha. 

So gonna keep this figure.

"PUNCH!!". He fights really well in the comic.

Batroc witness the brutally blade saw murder when fighting with Warlock!

Warlock turn to Batroc and says:

Warlock was just bluffing...

Someday, Warlock walking down the streets... (another crossover)

Sergeant, this is not the droid you are looking for... 😉

Oops, somebody misunderstood the situations.

Confusing is on the highest level...

(400 posts!) Marvel Legends X-Men wave 2017, Old Man Logan/Wolverine.

OLD MAN LOGAN
 (CLICK THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE [ALL MY PICS DIMENSIONS IS 1000x1000px OR 1920x1080px] POSSIBLE FOR WALLPAPER USE)

Old Man Logan/Wolverine
On the night that the heroes fell and the villains gained control, Wolverine was at the X-Mansion with Jubilee receiving an emergency signal from the Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D., the Fantastic Four, Wakanda, and everywhere else. The Mansion was then invaded by a group of super-villains (many of whom were believed dead). Wolverine began to evacuate the younger students while the rest of the X-Men mysteriously vanished after the onslaught began.

After killing nearly all of the villains, the fight came down to Wolverine and Bullseye. After finally finishing him off, Bullseye was revealed to be Jubilee. Mysterio appeared and the illusion was swept away: Wolverine, while under Mysterio's illusion, had slaughtered the X-Men.

Stricken with grief, Wolverine ran into the wilderness and was unable to account for his time there. He then attempted to commit suicide by laying his neck on the train tracks as a train approached. The attempt failed, but he decided that the "Wolverine" was dead. He put the violence of his past behind him and simply went by "Logan"......


360 GIF.

Close up on Logan's face, nice head sculpt, but doesn't look like Logan in the comic series.

Torso section, the leather jacket is nice with some brush effects, even the zippers looks realistic in size like this. Belt buckle also have a nice sculpting on it, and that gold paint really make it pop up from the clothing.

Whole back piece of the jacket is brush effect finish.

Pants is also on some sewing details. I like the boots have some hot stamps/stitching patterns on it.

Without the jacket, there is also some buttons details on the shirt too.

Back. (wish it would have interchangeable arms for this figure, short sleeve with hairy arms...? That would be great.)

The jacket is actually removable without moving away the arms, but have to careful not to tear damage the shoulder area.

The inner part of the jacket is also done with brush effects too.

Neck articulation is limited by the jacket, head can only turn more than 50 degree angles to side, but forward movement is not limited by the jacket.

Shoulder joint articulation is reasonable, elbow is double joint, but it can only fold to 100 degree angles. Wrist have no trouble to articulate, but it is a little loose, sometimes it will fall off when posing the wrist.

Waist swivel and abs crunch is not bad, just the abs backward movement is a bit limited by the jacket.

Legs articulations is not bad, this figure stand and pose very well.

Of course without the jacket this figure will pose very well, but it look not that good without his signature jacket.

Compare to wave 2016 Wolverine. (original Wolverine, Logan is from alternate future) Can't believe the old one is taller than the young one... 😒

Compare with several other Marvel Legends figures.

Compare with this wave other characters.

Finally he pop out his claws to fight!

Logan is back in town!

WOLVERINE : OLD MAN LOGAN part 4, Logan meets Ashley.

OLD MAN LOGAN 2016 Issue 2, "Banner, I coming for you!!" Logan yells at the huge green guy. (that is actually not Bruce Banner)

"You have to come with me, Logan, the easy way or the hard way." Steve Rogers. OLD MAN LOGAN 2016 Issue 3/4.

In some alternate universe, Logan meet with Wolverine...
"Hey, bub, wait up, I want to talk with ya." Wolverine.

"You look familiar..."

"You are the one I wanted to meet..." Logan says, "What!?" Wolverine is confusing and shocked.

Logan suddenly push his claws towards Wolverine's chest, he block with his claws. 

Logan slash Wolverine in second move, he didn't have the chance to block it.

Wolverine manage to block the continue attack.

And give Logan a hard kick.

"Who the hell are you? And why you got the claws like me!? And you look like me!" Wolverine is really confusing over the situation like this.

"Yeah, I am ya, from alternate future. Just wanna test ya skills." Logan, "What!?" Wolverine.
"Seems you could do better than this, I can block the second attack if I were you at my time.",  "Are you kidding me!?" Wolverine is pissing off about this right now.

"OH MY GOSH! WHY YOU ARE SO OLD~~~? LOGAN~~~~" Deadpool is gazed by old grumpy Logan.
"Don't worry, I still love you, Logan." Deadpool.

Thanks for watching!
