How weird is it to have a Marvel Legends review turn up in the middle of Halloween festivities, eh? Well, I love comics and I love Halloween so I jumped at the opportunity. And who knows? Maybe this won’t be the only Comic-Halloween crossover this week! Anyway, I had already stopped collecting complete waves of Legends by the time this second What If? inspired assortment hit the stores, and to be honest the only reason I picked up these two were because they hit deep discount on Amazon. The Konshu BAF actually looks pretty cool, but there’s no way I’m buying an Agent Woo or another Disney+ Loki figure to build him.

These figures come in the windowless packaging and honestly I don’t mind it much for Marvel Legends. The images on the boxes tend to be pretty close to what you get inside and by now most people probably know what to expect from this line. Besides, I throw these boxes out anyway. As the front of the package boldly exclaims, these are based on the animated What If? series from Disney+. This was the last of the D+ Marvel shows I tried to watch in good faith, but I couldn’t get through most of the episodes. Let’s start with Scarlet Witch…

Oh wow, this figure turned out great! She’s got a wonderfully creepy Deadite vibe going on and while the eye is inevitably drawn to the magnificent hair sculpt as the stand-out feature, everything about this figure is really well done. While it’s based on an animated design, I think it toes the line well enough to work with the regular MCU or comic figures. The outfit includes a shredded version of Wanda’s MCU look with the red overcoat over a red corset, black trousers, and black boots. There are holes sculpted into the jacket and the sculpted sleeve arms have similar damage and even display some exposed bones. You could possibly argue that the costume looks a bit too clean, but I can’t deny how beautiful the colors are here. The red is gorgeous and looks great alongside the matte and gloss black.

But as great as the body looks, the portrait remains the real showpiece here. The crazy hair is absolutely superb as it flies in every which way. The head sculpt shows a Zombie Wanda with a fierce visage, her downturned mouth showing teeth, blood smeared on her face and her eyes all glassy and void of pupils. This has got to be one of my favorite Legends head sculpts in a long while!

The articulation is better than we see with many Legends gals, as the elbows are double hinged and complimented with swivels in the biceps. The elbows are pinless but the knees are not. She comes with one pair of hands, which are of the spell-slinging variety and you get two hex power effect pieces to snake around her wrists. Because Zombies are bad enough, but hex-powered Zombies will really ruin your whole day. Let’s shamble on over to Zombie Iron Man…

This figure looks pretty good, but Zombie Wanda is a hard act to follow, and Undead Tony ain’t quite up to the challenge. The suit has a bit of Extremis flavor to me with just a bit more bulk and organic curves from the MCU models. I like it a lot and the red finish has a beautiful new car shine to it with some splotches of filth sprayed very sparingly here and there. There’s a little sculpted damage to the suit, including a missing panel on the right side of his abs, showing some exposed ribs, and a piece taken out of the left forearm. A bit of gold and silver painted accents add to the figure’s sharp deco.

The head sculpt here is pretty good, but again not nearly as good as Wanda’s. This one looks a lot more animated, which is fine considering the source, but some of the details, like the sprayed on mustache, is wanting. Still, the rotted holes in his cheeks and the open mouth cavity are pretty damn cool. He also has a rotted out nose and two yellow pupil-less eyes. The hair sculpt is a bit chunky, but not bad at all.

Zombie Stark comes with two pairs of hands and two repulsor blast effect parts. The hands include one pair of fists and a pair of open repulsor hands, which have no articulation in the wrist. The effect parts are the same pieces we’ve seen before. Here they are cast in translucent blue and they plug into the holes in the open hands.

I picked up these figures at $13 each and I’m really happy I did, especially since I already had Zombie Cap from the previous What If? wave and these three look great together. Wanda is the stand out figure in the trio for me, but Iron Man and Cap are no slouch either. It’ll be interesting to see if Hasbro dips into this well again, and to be honest now that I have three of them, chances are I might not wait for clearance if any other Marvel Zombies turn up. Now, if only I had some DC Zombies to look at on Friday… hmm…
