SUMMARY:
Released in Toy Biz’s 2005 “Build-A-Galactus” Marvel Legends series, this 6-inch Bullseye figure likely represents the villainous assassin’s first incarnation as a toy.
His white utility belt and leg holster are tightly-secured rubber attachments. Its articulation points include: 1. The head nods and can swivel a full 360-degree rotation. 2. Bending at the elbows, the arms can rotate a full 360-degrees. 3. The lower arms can also do a full 360-degree swivel. 4. The wrists and hands (minus his thumbs) have remarkable flexibility. 5. His upper body does a full 360-degree swivel and can bend slightly backwards and forwards at the torso. 6. The legs can also swivel a full 360-degrees. 7. The knees bend, as do the upper portion of his boots. 8. When properly positioned, the figure can stand indefinitely in display poses. The bottom of his feet include peg holes for display stands he will fit on, though none are included for the figure.
Note: Bullseye’s variant figure is menacingly sneering, with his eerie white teeth visible.
REVIEW:
Depicting Daredevil’s most dangerous adversary, Toy Biz’s solid effort is complete, down to his corpulent-looking sneer. Beyond the stellar black (or dark, dark blue)-and-white paint job and a spot-on face, what’s remarkable about the figure is its flexibility. Still, Bulleye’s elbow and knee joints are also the figure’s potential weak spots. These joints aren’t so much flimsy, as they are the most likely parts to someday require some super-glue. Provided Bullseye is handled with reasonable care, this Marvel Legend is a worthwhile addition to the villains’ gallery of any figure collection.
ADDITIONAL CONTENT:
No weapon accessories (i.e. playing cards) are included. Instead, a full-length (32 pages) reprint of Daredevil # 132 featuring one of the Man Without Fear’s pivotal showdowns vs. Bullseye is enclosed in a sealed plastic bag. For the “Build-Your-Own-Galactus” figure, Bullseye comes packaged with the left leg component.
PACKAGING:
Toy Biz does an excellent job promoting the figure in its nicely-manufactured box.
BRIAN & ROSCOE’S ODD MOON RATING: 7 Stars
