Marvel Universe Deadpool


Today, I'm gonna be reviewing the ever cool and funky "Deadpool" from the Marvel Universe Greatest Battles Comic Pack: Deadpool and Taskmaster. This comic pack actually gave me a hard time sleeping at night (due to excitement, with deadpool)!!! I even woke-up very early when I heard that this comic pack was spotted on malls, went straight up to Megamall, waited until it opens, rushed to Toy Kingdom, came late to office with nothing because it's not yet available at the branch. (T_T) Anyway, at least I still managed to buy one at eBay so my craving for this comic pack was finally over, hehehe..

Sculpt: 5/5
 The sculpt on this guy was awesome! I really love the look on his face, angry, intriguing, cool, whatever the expression is! I'm not sure, but it looks like a totally new mold, or just a retool of XMO Deadpool, I really don't know. His major difference with the XMO Deadpool was the katana holsters (or scabbards?), its not a pain in the eyes anymore, it's placed just above his shoulders as it should be (not like helicopter blades). He is very detailed, from head to toe, the choker, the belt, holsters, boot strap, everything (I guess I'm just a big fan of deadpool, hahaha)!
The only problems I had with him were his accessories.  He's got 2 katanas, which basically bends all the time. The gun holster should have been made with holes at the bottom so the gun would fit nicely. His loose belt and sword holsters (or scabbards?). But still, the overall sculpt for this guy is 100% dead-cool!

Paint: 4.5/10
I'm surprised that he's paint job was almost perfect. From my experience, these figures usually have some paint smudges, but I guess Hasbro hired a bunch "paint police" to improve quality. I did not gave it a perfect score because I feel like something is missing on him (looking at the paint job). Can you help me figure it out?

Articulation: 4.8/5
This is one of the most articulated figures in the Marvel Universe Line, 28 points of articulation! That's a lot of poses! He has the same articulation as the XMO Deadpool (now I'm feeling that this is just a retool). His gun perfectly fits on his left hand (if you'll have the patience), the dagger seem to be just right. 
The downside were his katanas, it's kinda loose at certain angles. His foot is somewhat hard to move up and down. I just wish he also had swivel biceps like the other figures, it's more posable (especially when holding weapons). But, hey, 28 points of articulation is something.

Fun Factor: 5/5
Just because I'm a big fan of Deadpool, I'm gonna say that the fun factor on this guy was super! I love the figure! It's so cool how they made his right hand, I mean, look at that pinky! With vast accessories, great articulation, sculpt and paint job, this guy nailed it! One word, awesome! Any collector with a Deadpool will always have fun! hehe..

Value: 5/5
For the price of the comic pack (Php899.00)? This is definitely a bang for the buck! A must have for collectors!

Overall: 4.86
This is a GREAT FIGURE!!!
