This looks great, I’m a big fan of the Hasbro black series helmets.

As a kid growing up in the 80’s seeing the classic Kenner Star Wars figures on pegs was just the norm. Even in the little village in South Wales I grew up in we had them. It’s hard to state how big Star Wars was back then and I have fond memories of picking them up.
Nowadays the only range I’ve seen that comes close is The Vintage Collection.
On looking in Smyths it was pure luck that I came across Boba Fett and Bo-Katan, two that were on my wish list.
I’m really impressed with the detail and articulation on these new figures.
I’m now looking at my wish list and adding The Mandalorian and Ashoka. I don’t have the cash to go all in but I’ll certainly be creating a wish list and adding them as I can.
And yes, I am taking them out of the packaging.

Wow, this looks amazing. As a kid of the 80’s where Prime was everyone’s hero, I love this.

I love the vintage line of Hasbro stuff, harks back to my childhood in the 80’s picking a carded figure off the rack in the shop at home on the way home from school.

If like me you’ve been after this set for a while you might want to jump on it.
I’ve had it in my Amazon wish list for a while but when I checked Lego I saw it’s being retired so if you want one (Lego is currently £70 cheaper than Amazon) then here’s the link I used.
Free postage in the UK and at the moment a free drag racer set worth £50.

I love the Hasbro Black series stuff, I have an Iron Man helmet, Cap shield and Infinity Gauntlet. For the money (sometimes as low as £50) they are the best way to get into collecting or in my daughters case, wearing the helmet of your favourite superhero.
They are made of hard plastic but have loads of detail and are well painted.
On the Ant-Man one you take off the respirator to access the battery compartment. For this one the batteries power coloured LED’s to make them blue or red.
Inside we have the usual plastic adjustment to fit to your head size.
The antenna come separately in the box and require fitting.
If you’re an MCU fan that wants a great looking prop for your shelf then I can’t recommend these highly enough.

If you’ve followed me long enough you’ll know I’m partial to the Hasbro legends series of props. I’ve got the Captain America shield and Infinity Gauntlet but wanted to complete my MCU phase 3 collection with one I’ve been after for a while.
It’s been out since 2016 but was stopped production for a while. Well this year it came back and I managed to score one using Forbidden Planet.
It’s wearable and is made up of a couple of parts. The main helmet and removable faceplate.
The faceplate is attached with magnets and you makes some noise once attached. This’ll need three AAA batteries if you want the ability to do the electronic stuff.
Once attached the eyes glow, you can adjust the brightness of this if you are wearing it for cosplay. There’s a button inside the helmet to adjust this.
It’s made up of hard plastic and sports a really nice (but fragile) paint job. It’ll easily scratch so be careful if you want to keep it in pristine condition.
For me getting a prop you can display for under £100 is a steal and I’m constantly impressed with how good the Hasbro Legends series is for the money.
Next up, Ant-Man.
