Upgrade Your Marvel Legends First Avenger Captain America!
Hasbro has only ever made one version of the Marvel Legends line Captain America from the First Avenger movie, and 13 years later he’s really outdated. It’s time to fix that!
Simply use:
- Head from Marvel Legends Endgame Quantum Suit Captain America (masked)
- Shield from any other MCU Marvel Legends Captain America (Age of Ultron or Civil War preferred)
- Head from Marvel Legends Peggy and Steve 2-Pack (unmasked)
Check out the images below, and see how much of an improvement the modifications make!
I honestly think this is such a huge and necessary upgrade to a really old figure. I’m definitely happier displaying him in my collection now. Try it out if you’ve got the figures, I promise you won’t regret it! Face Front True Believers, I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

Marvel Legends Retro Card Spider-Man Wave Showcase
I got a full wave of new retro carded Spider-Man figures from Hasbro Pulse! Below you’ll find a video showcasing all of them with some pretty sweet intros, and a closer look at the pictures I took of each along with a short review.
Last Stand Spider-Man
The Last Stand Spider-Man figure is the one that comes with the least accessories, but I feel like he doesn’t need many. In his debut appearance, he was backed against Aunt May’s grave, surrounded by armored enforcers, and threw down with nothing but the hands. Fists and open hands are perfect for this version of Spider-Man.
The jacket does limit articulation, he can’t really bend or twist in his torso area. So you’ll have a hard time getting those real Spidey poses out of him, but he’s an old man I guess, so maybe he doesn’t need to move as much. Other than that, the figure looks great and I’m glad to have him in the collection. His unique look makes him stand (get it?) out on a shelf full of other Spider-People!
Jack O’Lantern
I have two other Jack O’Lanterns, a ToyBiz one and the early Hasbro one. I have to say, this guy is the best. Opposite Last Stand Spider-Man, he came with the most accessories. His hover disk is so versatile. You can plug the little dreidel piece in at the bottom and it’ll make him look like he’s leaning. Or you can remove it and it’ll keep the disk flat. You can also plug in a glider stand if you have a spare one from the likes of the No Way Home Green Goblin or Hawkeye Skycycle.
He’s got little (definitely not pumpkin) bombs on his waist, one of which is removable and fits nicely into his hand. I also like that it clips onto the belt securely so it doesn’t constantly fall off. The pumpkin head and scale armor are some very well-done deco. I think he might just be a little too broad, but that’s a nitpick. This is undoubtedly the best Jack O’Lantern figure ever made.
Scarlet Spider
Now my main concern going in with this figures was Ben’s hoodie. It’s a separate piece, and I felt initially that it would limit articulation like Last Stand Spider-Man’s jacket. Previous Scarlet Spider figures had the hoodie sculpted on a with an ab crunch segmenting it. So this definitely looks better aesthetically.
And, I’m pleased to announce that Ben can still strike as many poses as your heart desires. The major factor in this is that he’s built on the Renew Your Vows Spider-Man buck, so he’s got that waist bend that lets him get into any Spidey pose he needs to. And I’m also pleased to announce that he’s got a full set of hands, fists, wall-crawlers and Thwip hands! Unfortunately, it’s a crapshoot lately on whether or not Hasbro will equip a full set of Spider-Man hands, so I’m glad they decided to do so for what is probably going to be become the quintessential Ben Reilly figure.
Hallow’s Eve
Of course Ben is going to need his partner in crime! Even though this version of Janine Godbe pairs better with the previously released Chasm figure! She looks great, honestly, right off the page. She’s one of those characters that has such a unique design that even those who may not know much about her (she’s a relatively new character) may want to pick her up!
She’s got some pretty vibrant colors and two of her power-granting Halloween masks with her. She’s popped up in quite a few issues of Amazing Spider-Man and even had her own book for a bit, so she’s definitely making her mark in the Marvel Universe. It’s kind of cool they’ve already got a figure for her!
Spider-Shot
This morally bankrupt version of Peter Parker is pretty great in figure form. The most unique accessory he’s got is his finger guns that actually allow you to slot in a gunshot effect. It doesn’t exactly go straight (maybe I put it in wrong?) but it’s still cool nonetheless. He doesn’t have open hands, but he’s got Thwips and fists, so that’s fine. Articulation is great, he’s got some sculpted pouches, and the deco is on point. He’s not the most recognizable version of Spider-Man, but if you know his story he’s a pretty cool figure to have.
Tombstone
Lastly is Tombstone. And he is 100 times better than the Vulture wave attempt from 2017. (Seen taking on Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Return to the Spider-Verse Episode 9: Leap of Faith!) He’s TALL! Not too much, but as much as Tombstone realistically should be. He’s got an alternate set of hands and an extra head (the first one had neither). And on top of all that, he’s got a crowbar!
The other major difference is that this one’s in a suit. Now yes, this did hamper him articulation-wise, but Tombstone is at his best when he’s standing tall like a stone slab (get it?). Now I’m not sure why they went with a whole neck piece instead of just an interchangeable head, but it didn’t cause any problems so I’m not complaining. All in all, this is definitely a superior version of Lonnie Lincoln!
And there you have it! Six brand new retro-carded Spider-Man figures! I love all of these guys, and definitely want to use them in some future videos! If you have a chance to get your hands on these figs, I highly reccomend them. I hope I’ve helped inform your decision if you were on the fence. As mentioned, I got mine from Hasbro Pulse. They’re the most reliable when it comes to Legends, so always preorder from there! Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

Saved by Greed! How I Almost Doomed My YouTube Channel!
I know what you’re thinking, the title is crazy! How did greed save me? And how was my entire YouTube channel almost doomed? Well, True Believers, sit down and let me tell you the story!
There I was, working innocently on Spider-Man: Return to the Spider-Verse Episode 9: Leap of Faith (Available Now!), filming the fight at the Super Collider between Peter, Miles, and Prowler. This was the first thing I filmed for this episode, mind you. I get to the part where Miles hits Prowler with his Venom blast, and I’m thinking I’ll creative. Dangerous thought, True Believers!
I took the Widow Bite effect from the Black Widow deluxe figure because I thought it would look like Miles’ Venom Blast around his hand. It did, but it wasn’t fitting on there quite right. So, like any sane person that takes care of their collectibles, I forced his fist into the socket through the Widow effect!
After the (perfect) shot, I removed Miles’ fist, as I have done a million times before, but this time, the fist was pulled free of the loop connecting it to the peg! For those who aren’t familiar with Marvel Legends, let me explain. The hand is connected to a peg that inserts into the arm of the figure. But the hand and peg are connected with a loop on the end of the peg that goes into a little rod on the wrist, allowing wrist movement for the figure. This break has only happened to one other figure in my collection, Gwenpool, as demonstrated in the pic below.
What happens is the rod at on the wrist breaks on one end and the loop slides out. What you have to do to fix it is kind of pull the wrist and the rod apart and get the loop back in. Two problems with that though: Firstly, I’m a nearly 30-year-old man with big clompy hands, and these parts are tiny. Like, TINY! It is very, very difficult to re-loop that peg. And secondly, once it’s broken like that, that’s it. Because every time you want to switch hands (which I do often in my videos), the wrist is gonna pull out of the peg and you have to go through the tedious reconnecting process again.
So, I was understandably frustrated, because I still had the entire dang video to shoot, and Miles was the star of this one. So I (painstakingly) got the loop rethreaded and stuck his fist back in. I got as many scenes shot as I could before I had to swap hands again. Inevitably, the time had come. But when I tried, the unthinkable happened! The loop pulled the whole dang rod off of the wrist!
I was done for. Any fix I thought of wasn’t feasible. The rod, completely separated, was sooo tiny (I almost lost it, like, ten times). Handling it was dang-near impossible. I didn’t want to super glue it back in because then I’d lose the wrist articulation. So my only option was to get a new fist.
Now, finding a specific part for a Marvel Legends figure can either be very, very easy, or very, very difficult. The left fist of an out-of-circulation Miles Morales figure that’s not cheap on the aftermarket leans toward the latter. I reached out to my Marvel Legends Facebook groups. No bites. I saw one sales post with a bunch of fodder pieces and asked if he had what I needed. And he did… not. He had Miles’ right fist. Like, really universe? What did I actually do to you?
Ebay was useless, they gave me results for every Miles Morales thing except what I was looking for. In desperation, I turned to Mercari. I was hoping, praying I could find something! I searched “Marvel Legends Miles Morales” and scrolled until I came across the seller that saved me: A man named Greed.
He sells Marvel Legends parts and pieces, and I came across a post that had both of Miles’ web-slinging hands… and his left fist! Overjoyed, I purchased it immediately! Greed shipped fast and within two days, I was able to continue production on episode 9! So please, if you’re in the need for a part, piece, or parcel, make Greed’s shop your first stop!
My YouTube channel was nearly doomed! With Return to the Spider-Verse being my most popular content, and Episode 9 being hotly anticipated, postponing it indefinitely was simply not an option! My fans would have revolted! Unsubscribed en masse! I’m sure of it! Okay, maybe not, you guys are great, but honestly, I had been hyping Episode 9 as being close to finished, building anticipation. It would have really sucked if I had to come out with an apology video and asked you guys to wait EVEN LONGER for the next episode.
So that’s the story guys, Greed saved my YouTube channel, and by extension, Face Front! You all can thank him for Episode 9! Again, Click Here to visit his shop if you need replacement pieces for your Marvel Legends. And Click Here to check out Episode 9! That’s it for now, Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

Beyond Amazing: Marvel Legends
Ho True Believers! My celebration of Spider-Man’s Beyond Amazing 60th Anniversary continues! Hasbro has been releasing more figures this year than seems like ever before (seems like) and I’m taking some shots as I get them in hand! So check out the pics below, and as I get more, I’ll add them to this page! Remember to click on them for a closer look.
Spider-Man vs. Doc Ock
A classic matchup, since 1963! Spider-Man (from the Renew Your Vows 2-pack) takes it to his worst enemy, Doc Ock! (From the Silk 2-Pack)
Silk and Spinneret
The Spider-Verse breaks open as Silk and Spinneret team up and streak across the sky in spectacular fashion!
Spider-Man: Homecoming
The new figures here are Peter and Ned, but since they were clearly inspired by their appearance in Spider-Man: Homecoming, I decided to bust out all of my figs from that movie and create an entire display! Some notes:
-Vulture is a kit bash, he has the head, arm braces, weapons and wings of the Target Exclusive Vulture from last year, and the base body is the fig from the 2017 Homecoming wave. I just think that the new Vulture’s colors are too bright, but he had more accurate accessories. The wings were practically the same, but I like the blue in the rotary blades better.
-The maskless head on the 2017 2-Pack Spider-Man is actually the alternate head from the new Peter, not the one he came with. It DOES NOT fit tight, it sits loose, but for picture purposes, it does the job!
-The book MJ is holding came from the Peter/Ned 2-Pack
Well, that’s that! Do you have any pictures of your figs for Spidey’s 60th? Email ’em to mail@FaceFrontBlog.com or tag me on social media with your name and short description and I’ll post them here! Until next time, Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

Marvel Legends “The RAFT” (SDCC 2016 Exclusive) Showcase
So there I was, innocently perusing my local comic shop (shoutout to Greg’s Comics in Mesa, AZ!) when all of a sudden I looked up and spotted the mother of all SDCC Exclusives: The Raft!
That’s right, the six-figure set that had eluded me since 2016! I was staring right at it! The tag said $225, but Greg’s Comics gives you 20% off of everything, all day everyday, so that brought the price down to a very manageable $180. I simply couldn’t resist, this was one of my grails, after all. So I pulled the trigger, and it was finally mine.
But I couldn’t do a mere unboxing video for this beauty, no way. So I decided to go the route of my Hellfire Club set and do a showcase for you True Believers! And just like that one, I included a little bit of a story, based on what was written on the box. So no need to dawdle any longer, watch the video below and enjoy!
In case you missed ’em in the vid, here’s some of the pics I took of the figures included in the set.
Spider-Man
Abomination
Enchantress
Dreadknight
Purple Man
Sandman
So that’s it for The Raft. I’m so happy to finally have this in my collection. And I’ll definitely be using that backdrop in future videos. What about you guys? And grails you’re hunting down? What’s your favorite SDCC exclusive? Sound off below! Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!
