Marvel Legends WandaVision The Vision review – BAF Captain America Flight Gear

WandaVision kicked off the Disney+ era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The focus of the first(only?) season was Wanda dealing with her grief over Vision’s death, but the big twist was he wasn’t necessarily dead — just repurposed into a memory wiped Vision now clad in all white. It was a nice homage to a West Coast Avengers storyline that also culminated in Scarlet Witch making a brief heel turn.

For the first wave of Disney+ Marvel Legends figures, it made sense to have both stars of WandaVision. The White Vision made the most sense despite his limited amount of screen time. Since he’s still at large there’s a high likelihood we’ll see him later.

Let’s see if this version of Vision is a sight to behold.

Packaging:  This is the basic Marvel Legends packaging with the WandaVision logo. It’s got the nice touch of Vision’s gem at the top and a grim portrait of this cold emotionless version of Vision.

The bio isn’t great as it opts for a vague explanation of Vision’s powers. This was likely to avoid spoilers though so it’s understandable in this instance.

Likeness:  For the most part, Hasbro reused the most recent Vision figure from the BAF Party Thor wave. The detail work with the texture pattern of his body really looks terrific.

This is the MCU Marvel Legends difference where Hasbro takes great strides to represent the movie source material as faithfully as possibly. Sometimes it takes three or four tries based on the available reference material. White Vision is missing some paneling along his crotch, but the rest of the detailing is accurate.

I’m not entirely sure if the head sculpt is different or if the lack of paint is throwing me off. It seems a bit sterner and colder with the spot where the Mind Stone changed as well.

Vision’s cape flares out further than it should for resting poses. It rested between his shoulders unless he was flying.

Paint:  Hasbro utilized a sharp ivory white for most of the figure while adding some bone white for the boots, gauntlets and belt. It’s a nice blend of colors and is screen accurate. The bone white makes for a subtle break point for your eyes, which was likely the intent with the MCU design.

The collar portion of the cape isn’t great as it’s got so much caked on paint the lining is covered over while other parts are cracking. I’ve never seen that with a Marvel Legends figure before and it’s disappointing. His blue energy emitter should be a little bigger and not have the trail at the bottom though it has a nice shiny effect to convey energy.

Vision’s got a very cool cape that has more of a transparent look to match the silky look of the show. This is a nice approach and I appreciate the effort Hasbro took to get it right instead of just going with the regular painted cape and hoping we wouldn’t notice.

Scale: In keeping with the MCU take on Vision, White Vision is a slender and sleek. He probably should be wider to have the same width as Iron Man.

Hasbro hasn’t done a great job of that with the comic book base Vision so it’s not shocking this Vision looks like he needs to eat more.

He’s appropriately taller than Wanda and about the same height as a regular size figure.

Articulation: Vision is your basic Marvel Legends figure, so he’s got excellent articulation.

WandaVision’s Vision wasn’t around long enough to really break down his fighting style. He flew around, punched and threw Wanda’s concocted version of Vision around so we just needed him to strike flying poses and unleash his energy blasts.

WandaVision Vision has:

• neck
• ball-jointed shoulders
• bicep
• elbow (double-jointed)
• wrist
• wrist hinge
• torso
• waist
• hip
• thigh
• knee (double-jointed)
• ankle

Accessories: Vision comes with swappable fists. That’s hardly the most exciting inclusion. It’d be nice for Hasbro to think outside the box with accessories.

Maybe a Welcome to Westview sign? Just something more besides fists.

This wave really could have used some exciting accessories since the Build-A-Figure is just the wings for Captain America. Vision gets the two inner portion of the wings, essential for connecting the wing pieces.

Worth it?  Thanks to a sale, I got Vision for $16.99. If I wasn’t building Cap’s wings, I wouldn’t have bothered with this take on Vision so I’m glad to get him cheaper.

Rating: 9 out of 10

Like the comic book versions, this figure only really suffers from being too slight. The details from the source material are largely intact and it’s a cool unique take to add the MCU Avengers collection.

Where to get it?  You can still get White Vision from online retailers like Amazon and Entertainment Earth.
