Action Figure Review: Siryn from Marvel Legends Series: X-Men by Hasbro

 

The Facts:

The Positives:

* Siryn is a figure that largely just uses a base body with paint applications to create her costume but the paint applications are overall quite nice. Her outfit blends together green and yellow nicely, plus she's sporting a wing-like cape that aids her in flight. 

* Siryn's portrait looks fine, particularly her wind whipped hair. She looks quite tranquil, though, which definitely doesn't fit with her sonic scream mutant power. She really could have used a second head, but this one is great for just chilling out with the rest of the team or for neutral poses on the shelf.




* Siryn uses one of the standard Marvel Legends female bodies so you probably know what to expect: A sturdy figure with great articulation and a good range of movement in most joints. There's not much to complain about here. The attached wings actually do make her quite fun to pose. They're more dynamic than you'd expect. 





* Siryn comes with two sets of hands: Some grasping hands and some fists. They swap out easily and help add a bit more nuance to her poses. 
* Since I pretty much bought every figure in this series to build Bonebreaker, his BAF piece is a big sell. Siryn comes with the left half of his tank body. I'll be getting around to reviewing him this week, so stay tuned!





The Negatives:

* The cape is quite cool but it's kind of weird and cheap that it's only printed on one site. The other side just looks off, doesn't it?
   Siryn is really a pretty average figure. She has a nice headsculpt and her wings are cool, but everything else is a bit plain. Considering she doesn't really have any accessories of her own you would hope for a second portrait with a screaming face or some more hands. Nope. She's not bad but she's just not as exciting as so many other Marvel Legends offerings available. Ultimately, I'm giving her a Good, which is a solid average rating. After getting her in hand I really did contemplate selling her, but if I hadn't found her for $10 bucks I'm not sure I would have picked her up.

This is the first figure of Siryn I've reviewed. For more Marvel Legends Series reviews check out the following:
