Art Design: Carded window box with the action figure and right arm of Apocalypse visible on the front and the other Series 11 figures illustrated on the back of the card.
Variants: There is a white chase version that looks like the Yeti (Abominable Snowman) but it is harder to get. I would like to get one too.
History: Sasquatch was created by John Byrne and Chris Claremont in X-Men #120. His real name is Walter Langkowski and he irradiated himself with Gamma Rays to become like The Hulk, but instead was possessed by the spirit of Tanaraq, a Sasquatch from the realm of the great beasts. Like The Hulk, Sasquatch was mostly a good character. He was usually a member of Alpha Flight. At one point his mental state deteriorated and the savage spirit of the Tanaraq creature took over and he fought Snowbird and was killed in Alpha Flight #23 (1985). By Alpha Flight #45, Sasquatch was resurrected in a different body. In New Avengers #16, he was killed off again, this time by The Collective along with the other members of Alpha Flight. For now, the character is dead in the Marvel Universe.
Headsculpt: Over the years, comic book artists have drawn several different versions of Sasquatch, but I like this headsculpt because it captures the 1980s look of the comic book character. He has a brutal, savage look which fits his personality; since his human side must control his beastly rage and anger.
Articulation: Sasquatch is one of the best 1:12 scale action figures that has ever been made. The arms and legs have Dragon Models' triple-joints, the arms and legs are on ball joints and the shoulders expand to allow a greater range of motion. The biceps and mid-calf area have cut-joints, and the ankles and feet are also adjustable. Perhaps the coolest feature is the hands which have individual movable fingers which are similar to the GI Joe Gung-Ho hands.
Paint Apps: The body is incredibly detailed. The fingers and toes are sculpted with a realism that is uncanny. Sasquatch looks great from head to toe! His eyes are painted with a metallic red paint that makes them seem like they are glowing. Sasquatch stands ten feet tall in the Marvel Universe, but he is a bit undersized at only 9" in this scale. Most of the other Marvel Legends figures are 6.75" tall, so Sasquatch should have been at least 10" tall.
Overall: If you buy only one Marvel Legends collectible action figure this year, you should get this one! Sasquatch is available at most retail stores that sell toys at a price of $8.-$9.
Grade: A+
