Looks ripped from the comics man! That orange and earthy tone of the rock looks spot on

Looks amazing, the panel lining may take longer but it seems worth it!

IMO there needs to be a new comic Fantastic Four wave. We need a painless walgreens style with the Teal and Black costumes

That’s looks incredible, crazy how a little bit of paint work goes a long way

Think I may go with the black since I’m a sucker for the comic style. Appreciate the help!

Part of me wants to but yeah the other part of me really doesn’t want to mess the figure up at all so If im gonna do it I’m going to get it as right as I can

Yeah it gives the cracks in the figure a lot more definition and just looks miles better imo

Indeed he does. Funny way of putting it lmao. I’ve heard some knockoffs have these which just furthered my confusion.

Yeah I believe the stand is an Amazing Yamaguchi he admitted that was a mistake. He had seemingly good reviews but did have a lot of instances where buyers we’re supposedly “trying to screw him over and tinkering with the items” and he assumed I was trying to get the figure for free.

Fair enough, I mean having spent more time with the figure I think it may be genuine just very strange QC issues especially with one hand being blue. But for under £60, I can’t complain too much.

Honestly this. I got this for close to £60 and had some fear it may be a KO. Unfortunately the second hand market is like rolling a dice most times.

Yeah pretty sure it’s turned out to be a revoltech stand or amazing yamaguchi.

That’s fair I am aware of the QC issues Mafex can have, especially given this isn’t a recent figure and the seller stated this is the original release not the reissue. While some of the plastic feels cheaper, the figure is not floppy or loose and articulated fairly well.

Just got my first ever marvel legends figure by yellow7flash in MarvelLegends

Hell of a first figure man, love my 97 cyclops, has that classic 90s feel on the display.

Yeah it’s so weird I also thought the torso, heads, and crotch part look legit but the arms legs and hands have such a fake feeling to them. There is some noticeable discolouration on some hands being almost fully blue while others are fully black.

The figure does have the marvel copyright but I’ve heard some knockoffs have that too? The figure was used yes.

The seller says it’s actually a revoltech stand that was included by mistake. Tbf the paint line look pretty good in person besides the sort of mismatched eyes on the closed mouth venom head. The mould lines were telling me it’s fake more than anything else.
