But once he glimpsed the full extent of his mutant power to freeze water molecules, Iceman returned to the X-Men with evolution on his mind!

Marvel Legends Series 8 Ice Man Action Figure Customer Reviews
When the UPS man arrived at my door today I was psyched to finally have a Marvel Legends version of my favorite X-Man. At first glance the figure looked great. After cutting it out of the package I did find a few inperfections.
The first came when I tried to put the base together, which is in 3 parts. The first is the Sentinal hand, the second is an ice “shaft” that snaps into the hand. The third is the ice platform on which Iceman stands. The platform snapped onto the shaft after a nice hard push. It didn’t seem to fit at first, but once it was on it could be removed and reassembled with no problems. However, the peg on the hand didn’t fit into the hole on the bottom of the shaft. This may only be a problem with mine, but it’s very frustrating. It barely stays together. As an optimist (one of the last of a dying breed, thank you Generation X) I always find the brighter side of things. Since Marvel Legends are generally used for display and not play, this problem should only occur a few times. It will stay together well enough for display.
The second probem was the difficulty I had actually getting him to pose on his base. It’s a very awkward base that really only allows for one type of pose, the pictured on the reverse side of the packaging. However, that particular pose is nearly impossible to accomplish. His hands won’t stay in the ice slots provided for them. Also, the actual stance in which he is to stand is also difficult to accomplish.
I give this toy 4 stars, which is pretty generous. My actual grade would be about a 3.25 or thereabouts.
