Like most people I’m extremely excited in regards to the upcoming Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity and whereas I do not often decide up MCU primarily based figures, I made a decision that I actually wanted Wong. Wong has been round within the Marvel comedian since 1963 however I do not assume we will get a comic book primarily based Marvel Legends determine of him anytime quickly. Thankfully his portrayal by Benedict Wong within the MCU is superb and I am far more acquainted with the movie Wong than I’m with the comedian Wong, so I am more than pleased to have this model on my shelf. Wong’s been a fixture in the previous couple of MCU movies so it is about time he bought a determine, proper? This model is predicated on his look in Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity the place he is the brand new Sorcerer Supreme. Let’s check out Wong after the break and see how he turned out…
The Info:

Equipment: 3 swappable fingers, 2 swappable spell fingers, sword, and the left arm and two left fingers of the Rintrah build-a-figure.

The Positives:
* Wong appears fairly spectacular with robes that basically stand out greater than his earlier wardrobes. They’re actually colourful and I really like the design. The sculpt is superb and there is loads of element right here that reveals off the totally different materials that make up Wong’s outfit. If there’s something reused right here I am not seeing it, however I am not an skilled in that form of stuff for Marvel Legends.
* The headsculpt is superb, too. Is not is fairly spectacular how far headsculpts and likeness have come up to now few years, particularly with the appearance of the facial printing know-how. There isn’t any doubt as to who that is and the expression captures Wong’s humorless persona brilliantly.
* Total the articulation is absolutely good, significantly within the higher physique. That is a very powerful, too, as a result of the double hinged elbows actually assist to make Wong expressively pose his arms in creating chakras and such. The balljointed waist, neck, and head additionally enable for lots of nuance in his poses. His legs are inhibited by his gown a bit, however I will get to that in a second.
* Here is a close-up to point out off all the element in Wong’s outfit. I really like the padding on the waistcoat and the “embroidered” particulars on his tunic. The paintwork actually is fairly neat and clear right here and positively elevates the determine above many different Legends on the shelf proper now.
* Listed below are two different actually cool little particulars. The machine that Wong and the opposite wizards, like Physician Unusual, put on on their knuckles is hooked up to his belt. It is fairly small however has a gold paint app on it. Secondly, what’s with the actually cool bracer? Is {that a} blade or one thing tucked in? I doubt it nevertheless it appears actually cool and detailed.
* Wong has 5 interchangeable fingers, however solely three of them are common fingers. He has a proper handed grip and a pair of very cool gesturing fingers. These swap out and in simply and he appears nice utilizing these for various poses.
* The opposite two fingers characteristic magic results. I am guessing these have been seen earlier than however they’re new to me and so they look actually cool molded in translucent plastic.
* Wong additionally comes wielding a sword. That is fairly cool, proper? I am curious to see how this elements into the movie. It is a good sculpt with a uniquely formed blade and an ivory deal with.
* This collection options the items to construct Rintrah, a inexperienced, minotaur like being that I am not acquainted with. He does seem within the current trailer, although. Wong comes with Rintrah’s left arm and two fingers, one open and one making a fist.
The Negatives:
Wong turned out very well. He was the one determine from the collection I used to be in search of and whereas I’d have been fairly completely satisfied simply to have a Wong in my assortment getting one with some fairly cool equipment in addition was fairly welcome. He is a extremely enjoyable determine and I am positively not dissatisfied with him. He is a Nice and a 1/2 simply. With the worth of Marvel Legends leaping up fairly a bit these days I am positively changing into much more selective in who I buy however Wong is a no brainer. A cool determine of a cool character with some enjoyable extras.
That is the primary determine of Wong I’ve reviewed. For extra Marvel Legends Collection opinions try the next:
