The Marvel Avenger Legends 14 Baron Zemo is a single figure in a series of Avenger figures released by Marvel. This particular set of the Legends figures come with a single action figure and a piece of another larger action figure. If your child collects all of the action figures in this set (there are 6 all together) they will also have all of the pieces to the larger action figure. The larger action figure called “Mojo” is a green blob of a character with mechanical legs and is comprised of the six individual pieces collected from individual Legends figures.

Each of the individual Legends action figures also comes with an accessory (for Baron Zemo it is a scepter) and a full size comic book. Each figure is also packaged in those really irritating plastic casings which are impossible to open but this irritating packaging also keeps the figure safely inside whether it is only for the journey home from the toystore or whether it is for a collectors edition of the figure, the packaging is sturdy enough to maintain the figure in mint condition.

The comic book that is enclosed with each figure is a full size, full length, color comic book and reads just like any normal comic book would but also serves as a collectors item. These figures are namely a collectors item and are suitable for any collector or an older child around the age of seven and up who likes action figure play they are not recommended for children under three; however, I would not personally recommend them for a child under seven.

I spent my childhood playing with mostly boys toys, He-man and G.I Joe figures to be exact but the Marvel Legends figures really don’t live up to the action figures of my day. These figures have a collectors value for older children but I really don’t feel that these figures are something to recommend for younger children or children who want to actually play with their toys.

The Avenger figures are made of quality materials and they do have multiple bends which enable them to be posed in various poses which are both plusses; however, the point still stands that other than being something nice to look at they are nothing more than collectors items. Children may find they are able to imagine play with the characters but the play is stunted by the inability of this figure to stand without falling over as well as the inability of this figure to clutch his accessory. The type of frustration that these shortcomings bring really take away from the play value as well as add to the stress of being a parent by causeing screaming frustrated children.

The Avengers Figures collection also comes with a single piece of one larger figure as stated above. This particular figure comes with the head portion of “Mojo”, a larger figure which resembles a green version of Jabba the Hut with mechanical spider legs and quite obvious drooping breasts which are a definite cause for concern. Although I am certain that this figure is male in origin it does not take away from the fact that this figure has prominent breasts which are definitely going to cause questions.

Overall unless this figure is for a hardcore action figure collector who has little need for constructive play this toy is going to cause more frustration than it is worth and the money would be better spent on another action figure who can at least stand on it’s own two feet without falling over.
