McFarlane DC Multiverse Speed Metal Dark Flash (Gold Label) - Pictorial Review

On and off, McFarlane slowly releasing characters from the Death Metal arc, this time, specifically Speed Metal. Presenting Dark Flash from the Dark Multiverse.

The figure is released as a Gold Label to which I'm still not really sure the distinction).

When it was first revealed, I'm thrilled to find out that there are 3 head variants for Dark Flash. It's fun hunting the variants (if you've made peace with McFarlane not including the alternate heads).

However so far, I still haven't seen the other variants anywhere in the market

Transformers Legacy Leader Class Dragon Megatron - Pictorial Review

 I think this is a fairly awaited figure from Legacy. From my observation the appeal of Beast Wars characters not as good as the core G1 releases (by not much) but I've seen considerable interest for this.

With the release of BW Inferno, the original lineup for Predacons and Maximals are complete, understandable that they ventured further. But skipping Transmetal and going directly to Transmetal 2 seems a bit weird. Possibly due to 1) POTP already released his counterpart and 2) to venture farther away then 'another T-Rex' albeit it's not really the same.

Alt Mode

Personally I think Hasbro gave more attention in doing the BW characters in terms of detailing, more than characters from other series (the same case as MP). However, I'm still surprised by how good this turns out.

McFarlane MK11 Shadow of Spawn - Pictorial Review

My next McFarlane review, MK11 Shadow Of Spawn. I took a risk on this when the PO was online without the actual product image. 

But from the MK11 list of skins for Spawn, it's clear that it will be a homage to classics Spawn deco

They've been lazy in terms of Spawn's MK11 packaging. Well, easier to throw the box away later.

McFarlane Megafig Omega Spawn - Pictorial Review

This is something that took quite a short time between reveal and release. And honestly, I don't enjoy the unplanned purchases. But looking at the first online image, yeah, this is right up my alley.

Presenting, Omega Spawn, one of the oldest Hellspawns.

Right of the bat..that's a waste of space. It obviously is. The box could've been shrunk down half the size which would've made shipping cost lower. Not to mention the storage space for those who's keeping the box.

Marvel Legends Retro Collection Apocalypse - Pictorial Review

As an X-Men Animated Series fan, I looked forward to this, considering I missed the previous release. Presenting, Apocalypse!

I remember one friend was telling me he had a hard time determining the size of the figure from online pic due to the card size.

Yes, the card is big!

Lightning Collection Zord Ascension Project (ZAP) Dragonzord (Z-0121) - Pictorial Review

This come as surprised as I didn't expect it to be released so soon after ZAP Megazord. However, it's a welcomed release. With the issues that ZAP Megazord had, people were debating whether Hasbro dropped the ball or it's just, what you'd called, first-release bad luck. 

So let's see

In Package 

Continuing the design and theme of the previous release, Dragonzord comes in a premium-ish box with gorgeous artwork at the front. 

The box is smaller than that of Megazord and feels lighter. I'm not sure whether it's because of the size alone or Hasbro reduce the weight of the box
