Back when I was collecting Marvel Legends, Juggernaut was my absolute favorite figure. I really wish I still had him, if for no other reason because he now goes for a hefty sum on Ebay. I was mighty glad to be able to get him again, even in this diminished scale as part of Marvel Universe.

My favorite thing about this sculpt is the way Hasbro molded Juggernaut’s face and helmet as two pieces. It adds great depth to the figure’s head and really makes him look like his helmet is removable even though it isn’t. The texturing, sculpted bolts, and paint job on the helmet also makes it look a lot like weathered, pitted old metal. Fantastic. His muscular is wonderfully sculpted and the straps on his arms and fists are nicely reproduced here as well. His bicep straps are actually separate pieces and even the treads on his boots are intricately sculpted.

Juggernaut is more or less a three colored figure. You have the brown outfit, his skintone and the maroon for his belt and boots. Most of the figure is molded in the appropriate colors, so there aren’t a lot of paint apps at work here, although the brown parts have a nice deeper shading.

Along with the figure stand, Juggernaut comes with his profile card and his Top Secret document. I don’t usually have a lot to say about the documents, but Juggernaut’s is hillariously a handwritten threatening letter to Osborne telling him to leave him alone. I just can’t help picturing Juggernaut hunched over a desk feverishly hammering out this letter. Great stuff. He actually has surprisingly good penmanship.
The articulation is on par with the rest of the MU lineup, although Juggernaut’s huge sculpted muscles make some of his joint movement more limited than usual. I’m not sure what type of joint is used on the neck, but his head can pretty much just turn. His arms have ball jointed shoulders, hinged elbows and swivels in the biceps and forearms. His legs have ball joints at the hips, swivels in the thighs, double hinged knees and swivels at the top of the boots. He also has a ball joint in the torso.
Basically, this is my definition of a “must have” figure. Sure, it helps that I love the X-Men and the Juggernaut character, but even still, it’s hard to find much not to like here. He’s a big, beautifully sculpted and hefty figure, and well worth the extra couple of bucks I had to pay to get him online.
