Now don't get me wrong Hasbro's Deadpool is decent, but he can't do most of the poses expected of a ninja character. But how does Revoltech Deadpool stack up? Let's get to it then.

Amazing Yamaguchi No.001 Deadpool Revoltech
After the Deadpool movie debuted, the titular character has gained popularity and influx of merch. But since Deadpool is a Marvel character, most of the figures have been western releases. So imagine my surprise when Yamaguchi announced that he would release a revoltech of Deadpool! Finally, a super articulated Deadpool capable of crazy ninja poses!

Marvel Legends Spider-Man Infinite Walmart Exclusive Agent Venom
Venom, probably one of Spider-man's most well known foe and sometimes
ally. Like Carnage and Toxin, Venom was a symbiote, though he was the
first to ever appear in fiction. Unlike Carnage though, Venom has a
number of hosts, he first and most beloved was Eddie Brock, followed his
wife, some woman in the army, a mafioso, the Scorpion Mac Gargan, and
finally Flash Thompson. So Hasbro finally gave the latest incarnation of
Venom his very own Marvel Legends!
Flash Thompson's Venom is probably the most unique of the symbiotes. Unlike past depictions of Venom where he was a hulking monster, Agent Venom here sports protective vests, shoulder armor and military belts equipped with pouches. This really drives home the military look since Venom was detained by the US Army and underwent Project Rebirth. The armor is soft rubber which doesn't limit the arms as much with little bumps and spikes making it look like a biological armor. Also check out the sculpted details on the belt! 1 weird thing though, they sculpted a pistol on his hips... why not just sculpt a holster???
His paint apps are minimal, with only some white lines and the ever present spider symbol that every Venom sports. This leaves little space for paint slop, though as you can see on mine, the lines on the left thigh is misaligned and so is the spider at the back. I've also seen some Venoms with off kilter eyes. So look before you buy.
Venom comes with guns, lots and lots of guns. There's a handgun with painted on scope, 2 pistols, and 2 machine guns, though i lost one of mine... but oh well, i prefer them black anyway, so i'll just replace them with Hitmonkey's guns. He also comes with his black tendrils...
...and the best thing about that, is it's ability to hold all his guns!!! Just like in the comics!
Articulation wise, he's pretty good, though Hasbro decided to use the old ball hinge hips which are not as good as the newer ML hips. Also, he lack wrist swivels but have forearm swivels. He has ab crunch as well but because of the armor, it's very limited.
He's pretty cool and because i really like his character in his comic, i'm pretty happy to have him in my collection. He's a store exclusive in US but he's 8 in a case which means there's plenty to go around... for Americans. For the rest of the world, we're pretty much stuck paying higher than usual prices. I was lucky, i got mine from a really cool guy from US for retail.
Anyway, thanks for viewing!

Marvel Legends Spider-Man Infinite Spider-Girl
I was window shopping one fine day with no intentions of buying anything except some household stuff, until i came upon a stall. Lo and behold, there stands the new Marvel Legends Spider-Girl. Though it was loose, for 15 USD, i can't help myself ( MLs retail for 25 USD here ). So here she is, Spider-Girl, Anya Corazon.
Anya was a teenager who was given spider powers, then she lost it, used hi-tech gadgets for awhile, then gained spider powers again. She faded into obscurity after her own series ended but has recently resurfaced in Avengers Assemble comics. Before i go further, i want to say Spider-Girl has the best female body Hasbro has in the 6" scale currently. I'm pretty impressed Hasbro made an all new body and not just repainting Black Cat and sticking a new head on that. Anyway, Spider-Girl here is a variant for Black Cat.
Compared to the Black Cat and the recent Gamora, she has alot more articulations but most notable of all are the hinged wrists, calf swivels and ankle rockers.
Paintwise, she's just a black body with white paint apps which reminds of how the symbiote Venom look. But i have no complaints here, it's cleanly applied and no slops.
She doesn't come with any accessories of her own except the Goblin BAF piece, which is kinda unfortunate. She would have been great with swappable hands.
She's a tad tinier than most MLs which suits her physique as a teenager.
She's really great! Even if you're not familiar with the character, she looks good standing next to any of the Spider-men. I hope Hasbro would use this mold more, I know the upcoming Mayday ML will be using this mold. Now i just want my Agent Venom to be delivered faster so i can display her next to him.
