Silver Surfer is packaged in a blister card and the same type of card as seen in the first wave of the Marvel Legends mini-comic series. This includes artwork such as an image of him in comic book format on the front, the Silver Surfer logo, and the back includes a look at the rest of the wave, and a look at the comic book cover for Silver Surfer #1.
Silver Surfer is inspired by his comic book appearance in the Silver Surfer Vol. 1 #1 from 1968, and is given a reused sculpt offered in recent years for the character with some updated facial details. The sculpt is given a shiny metallic silver finish, with a muscular tone.
His head sculpt is also reused, with facial details that pay a great tribute to the comic, which has a black wash around the eyes and between the lips.
Silver Surfer’s surf board is also reuse from existing figures, which has one peg to place the bottom of his foot to help him to stand. He also includes three sets of interchangeable hands (closed fisted, karate chop and open grip).
Silver Surfer includes a mini-comic that shows the cover of Silver Surfer #1, which is a great comic. The back is black and white, and has the Marvel Legends and Hasbro logo’s.
Silver Surfer shares the same sculpt as existing figures, which is all reuse from the Galactus crowdfund Silver Surfer Figure, and both of his Walgreens exclusive figure offerings. This new release is closest to the Walgreen Silver Surfer (silver version) offering, with the facial details given an improvement over that offering.
His articulation is also standard for this era of Marvel Legends, including a ball jointed head and hinged neck, ball hinged and butterfly shoulders, swivel biceps, double-hinged elbows, swivel-hinged wrists, ab crunch, waist rotation, ball jointed hips, swivel thighs, double-hinged knees, hinged and rocker ankles.
Overall, the Silver Surfer is an excellent figure with a great likeness to the source material and a lot of great detail. This is an essential release for Marvel Legends fans looking to obtain the character either for the first-time, or looking for one with a good likeness and an improved facial detail. Make sure to grab him and additional figures now at BigBadToyStore!
