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. She's dressed in her blue/grey suit with tall boots and long arm gloves. Both the heads are nicely painted and detailed, though they don't fully capture the actress' likeness. The sculpt is very detailed, with the patterns of her body suit, to the many laces on her boots, and her weapons harness and even a necklace. There is a small spot of extra tan paint on her torso, and the blade on one of her uzi's is slightly bent, but that can be fixed with some heat (and a cotton swab with a little alcohol may fix the paint mark).
The articulation is pretty nice. Head on a ball joint, ball jointed hinged shoulders that have a good amount of range, single jointed elbows that swivel, hinged wrists, ball jointed upper torso and waist, ball jointed thighs, upper thigh cut, double jointed knees and hinged ankles that swivel to the sides. Despite her elbows only being single jointed, due to the swivel, this gives them extra articulation so that you can get a little more out of them than a basic single joint would allow. Still, it is odd that Marvel Legends doesn't usually give their female figures double jointed elbows. However, I was still able to pose her pretty well.
Marvel Legends did a good job with the movie version of Domino. She's a mutant with the ability to subconsciously and psionically initiate random telekinetic acts that affect probability in her favor, or in other words, her super power is luck. Her action figure turned out just fine, so I guess luck was on her side (again).
