  Colossus here is from the Marvel Legends 5, and depending on who you ask, might be the best figure in that set. Colossus shares some parts with the ML 3 Thor, and inherits some of the same problems. The hips on Colossus are sometimes a pain in the ass, as he will occasionally topple over. Also, he lacks any articulation in his neck, so you'll need to manipulate the ab joint to make him look up or down. Negatives aside, it's a great sculpt, and aside from the neck, he has all the articulation you could want. Definitely worth a pickup if you see him. |

Nice to see he is big and bulky. The one I had when I was younger was skinny as hell.

Colossus is a great figure. I think he has to be the best out of series 5 because no other figure in that set really stands out except maybe Sabertooth.

Sabertooth was kind of ignored in that series, and it's a good figure. Surfer is right up there, Mr. Fantastic is average, Blade and Nick Fury are okay, and Red Skull sucks. |

I feel so shafted on Marvel Legends. I NEVER see any in this area. It sucks the big one.

I feel so shafted on Marvel Legends. I NEVER see any in this area. It sucks the big one. There are two places in NYC that carry them... Comic/collectible stores that scalp them for high prices, and TRU times square that sells them retail, but the good figures never hit the pegs, because they are bought quickly or scalped. |

In fact, when series V came out, I was thinking of getting into them, but there were no Colussus' anywhere.

That's one of my favorite figures. I tried so hard to get that figure and finally managed to get it after months of looking... AWESOME figure.

I have one comic shop in the area, but I refuse to shop there because the guy that owns it is an absolute prick. |

I love this figure. Colossus is one of my favorite characters and this is the best representation I've seen of him.

Surfer is right up there, Mr. Fantastic is average, Blade and Nick Fury are okay, and Red Skull sucks. I hated that Mr. Fantastic, he looked like a conehead. Surfer was, like you said, a damn good figure. But I thought that Blade was very well done as well, being a fan of the movies and all. Overall, series 5 was probably the 2nd weakest series right after series 4. |
