The portrait just doesn’t say “Age of Apocalypse” to me the way it should, which isn’t acceptable to me in an actual Age of Apocalypse figures series. In addition, Hasbro opted to go with with the heavily-shadowed eyes look for Morph, which– similar to the Blink figure I previously complained about–is much more closely associated with the Exiles version of the character than the AOA one. Consequently, the costume here looks totally off to my eye, despite the sculpting itself being mostly accurately done (although Morph’s yellow kneepads are also totally absent). In the Age of Apocalypse, Morph wears a bright blue costume with a navy design in the middle, but Hasbro chose a super dark blue as the primary color for this figure with black in the middle. There are some issues that really drag this Marvel Legends Morph figure down for me, which is a real bummer since I was looking forward to him so much.įirst off–and perhaps most damning to me–this figure just is not quite accurate color-wise. Well, unfortunately… I would have to say “Not exactly”.
While there was a bizarre Toybiz Toyfare Exclusive AOA Morph figure decades back, Hasbro is finally delivering an official 6″ version of the character to fans as part of the Sugar Man wave! Was he worth waiting all these years for?
#Marvel morph age of apocalypse series
So the X-Men animated series was my first exposure to Morph (Changeling), a shapeshifting funny man who quickly captured my heart.Įvidently, Morph’s appearance there caught the attention of the X-Men writers at Marvel as well, as the character was a surprise major inclusion in the X-Men Age of Apocalypse roster, and then went on to be one of the mainstays of the Exiles soon after. When the 1992 X-Men cartoon started aired when I was a kiddo, I wasn’t the hardcore X-Men fan then that I am today.
