An Epic Clash
Photographer: FathersFigures
Figures Used: Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Hulk & Wolverine 2-Pack
This photo recreates the brawl fans originally saw in The Incredible Hulk #181, though in this particular photo Hulk’s definitelyย got the upper hand, driving Wolverine’s head into the rocks underneath his giant green feet.
An Epic Clash Part 2
Photographer: FathersFigures
Figures Used: Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Hulk & Wolverine 2-Pack
This photo evens the odds a bit, with Wolverine off the ground and lunging at the Hulk, which also happens to recreate that classic cover quite nicely.
The God of Thunder
Photographer: Noserain
Figures Used: Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Thor Figure
For this photo photographer,ย Noserainย puts Thor’s control of lightning in the spotlight and creates a stunning photo that shows off just how powerful Thor and the hammer Mjolnirย are all by themselves. This is so good in fact that at first, I thought I was looking at a comic cover and not a photo of an action figure.
The Iron Avenger
Photographer: Plastic Action
Figures Used: Marvel Legends 80th Anniversaryย Iron Man Figure
Iron Man has a bevy of toys at his disposal, including those handy repulsorย blasts, and this photo from PlasticActionย has the Iron Avenger utilizing them to the fullest. The photo also featuresย some stylish graffiti in the background, providing an interesting contrast to the classic Iron Man suit that’s in the spotlight.
Soaring High
Photographer:ย PlasticAction
Figures Used: Marvel Legends 80th Anniversaryย Iron Man Figure
This figure goes from something a bit different, with Iron Man soaring high above the mountains and the tiny cities below. His arc reactor and gauntlet are glowing as well, and this is a pose that seems to homage the MCUย version of the character. Important to note that you would need a base or some other support to recreate this pose, but that doesn’t make it any less cool.
The First Avenger
Photographer: Sgtbananas
Figures Used: Marvel Legends 80th Anniversaryย Captain America Figure
This photo shows Captain America doing what he does best, and that’s charging into danger with that iconic shield leading the way. This is easily one of my favorite photos in the set, with all the dust creating a photo that looks straight out of a movie, and now all I want to do is recreate this scene with my Cap figure as well.
Powerhouses
Photographer: SwittPics
Figures Used: Marvel Legends 80th Anniversaryย Colossus and Juggernaut 2-Pack
Marvel fans love seeing powerhouses like Colossus and Juggernaut throwdown, but imagine if you could see that and recreate a classic X-Men cover at the same time? That’s what this photo does, homagingย the many battles the two have shared as well as the cover to X-Men #102. Even better is the fact that the photo uses the alternate helmet and head sculpt for Juggernaut, showing just how much damage Colossus has done. Epic.
Powerhouses Part 2

Figures Used: Marvel Legends 80th Anniversaryย Colossus and Juggernaut 2-Pack
If you wanted an even more up-close look at the duel, check out the photo above.
Cool As Ice
Photographer: Warrior_Evans
Figures Used: Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary X-Men Retro Series Iceman
The X-Men Retro series gets some love too, and Warrior_Evans brings Iceman to life with a gorgeousย recreation of his ice slide. You can see the trail he’s blazed elsewhere in the photo, and the ice effects look superb, so much so that you’ll be attempting to give your own Iceman figure an ice slide after seeing it.
Goddess Of The Storm
Photographer:ย Warrior_Evans
Figures Used: Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary X-Men Retro Series Storm
For this epic Storm photo, we get a mix of elements, which is fitting for someone who can control all aspects of the weather. The photo utilizes the lightning effects that come with the figure while surrounding her feet with a wall of wind, and the bright glow puts it over the top. To complete the photo we also get some lightning in the background, and it all makes for one amazing photo.
The Star Spangled Soldier
Photographer: WorkMoreorLess
Figures Used: Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Captain America & Motorcycle
This photo uses the retro Captain America figure and goes all out for it, creating an amazing landscape that takes you back in time. Cap wields his old school Shield and a motorcycle as he leads the charge on a beachhead against enemy forces, creating a photo that any Cap fan will appreciate.
Enemy In Silver
Photographer: _Omega_Red_
Figures Used: Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary X-Men Retro Seriesย Silver Samurai
This photo looks to show off Silver Samurai’s lethal skills by having him use that katanaย to chop a tree in half, and we love it. It just feels like something the Silver Samurai would do right? I’m not going to say anything, I’m just going to chop this poor tree in half who did nothing to me. Poor tree.
X Factors
Photographer:ย _Omega_Red_
Figures Used: Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary X-Men Retro Seriesย Cyclops and Dazzler
This photo is just awesome, simple as that. Cyclops is going full force with those trademark Optic Blasts (with his hand even up to his visor) and the Dazzler figure is utilizing those slick power effects alongside him. Thrown in those classic costumes and you get a photo full of awesome sauceย (yes I did say awesome sauce).
