Marvel Legends - Infinite Series - BAF Groot - Groot

Probably, of the most unforgettable character in the movie Guardians of the Galaxy is the Monarch of Planet - Groot. Groot was actually an invader from another planet which captures human for experimentation which was changed way back 2006 and was turned into a noble warrior. By this time I am writing this, I still don't have the whole Guardians of the Galaxy set and the reason I already have this Build a Figure Groot is because I found a loose one lurking around the market. Ain't he cute huh?

The Second Build-a-Figure in my collection Groot - if we should compare it along the movie the detail was accurate. In a sense he's a large tree,even the height goes well and those algae on his body are good. Articulation however have some minor issues depending on the part you will get. This one has an issue over the right arm and having a hard time to rotate via 360 degress. It still lack articulation though around the waist. Last, the pegs between the joints are so soft that it's too vulnerable from breakage so you might need to handle it with an added care.

He is a good photography subject, aint he?

Marvel Legends - Infinite Series - Part 7 - Build A Figure: Mandroid

Finally! Part 7 - Mandroid - First, what or who is Mandroid anyway? Mandroid is a combat suit originally designed by Tony Stark for the use of SHIELD. If ever your wondering there's no basic design for a Mandroid so don't go bother yourself searching where this guy appeared - it has a different appearance on different series and issues.I actually didn't target it but since I had all the critical hard to get parts I was force to do so and now I'm broke, HA!

Design is similar to Iron Monger only grey and head is different. If you are a Gundam fan you might be seeing a Z-Gok like figure. A large logo of SHIELD can be found on it's chest, a cannon on the right shoulder, a Gatling gun in the right and a claw-like claw [what?] on the left. Details was good from simple tubes to scribbles around, Not Bad huh?

Right Arm with Gatling gun can be acquired through Marvel Legend Infinite Series Baron Zemo or Marvel Legend Infinite Series AIMS Soldier.

Left Arm with Claw like Claw [again, what?] can be acquired through Marvel Legend Infinite Series Red Skull or Marvel Legend Infinite Series Hydra Soldier.

Torso and Upper Right Cannon can be acquired through the hard to find Marvel Legend Infinite Series Avengers Movie Black Widow, Left Leg through Marvel Legend Infinite Series Winter Soldier, Right Leg through Marvel Legend Infinite Series Captain America Stealth Suit and Head through Marvel Legend Infinite Series Captain America Now. Marvel Legend Infinite Series Captain America WWII has no BAF part.

So, the verdict - articulation wasn't that good though but not bad so let's say it's so-so. And is it worth building? Well probably not, unlike the Toybiz BAF's such as Fin Fang Foom, Apocalypse and Sentinel which is unique in a kind of way. Mandroid not being a key character in my opinion gives it a less value although Black Widow with the Torso having too hard to find status it increases Mandroid's value.

Marvel Legends - Heroic Age Iron Man - Bleeding Edge - Iron Monger BAF Series

Iron Man from the Iron Monger BAF Series - My favorite suit of all, Bleeding Edge/Heroic Age. Comes in after the Extremis Armour - the self healing-almost-invulnerable running completely with Repulsor Tech.

Again from the Iron Monger Series - Heroic Age Iron Man. See that leg?

Back of the Card with previews from the others - doesn't make sense now really since all of them are already released.

Heroic Age Iron Man and Iron Monger's Leg.

Before anything else, let's first take a selfie. #selfie

So, what I really notice about this and yes I'am still researching is does the design really has to bring out a bulk effect? Just look at his shoulders, they look so masculine comapred to the other boxed like armours. Anyway, figures design is good. Details weren't bad although some paint dubs are not properly aligned.

Oh! look! Mini-me!

If only this core are glowing - much better, but it doesn't so oh well.

And surprisingly, he is figuregenic -and by the way before I forgot, I really don't like those hands. A cleneched and an open one, I guess it's better than having an annoying pointing or holding hand that looks ridiculous on figures, but could have been much better if it's changeable.
