Marvel Legends Domino

The latest Marvel Legends figure I got was Domino from Deadpool 2. Her character in the film was very cool and memorable. Even though she looked very different from the comic book version, actress Zazie Beetz made the character a lot of fun. Marvel Legends did her justice in action figure form. She comes with 2 heads (one smirking, one neutral), 2 pairs of hands (fists and gun holding), a black gun and 2 uzi machine guns.

It scales well with most 1:12 figures, even though these banana dudes are a little smaller. The entire set is simply cool and fun. Who needs 007 when you can have a banana secret agent instead? The articulation is almost the same as the larger Legendary Series figures. His shoulders a
