It came from the Toy Chest: I'm Birdman! No, not Harvey Birdman...

I am talking about Michael Keaton's Vulture... without a Michael Keaton head (which is like the biggest missing opportunity in the universe)
Adrian Toomes: High Flying founding member of the Sinister Six. Classic Spidey Villain (Cinematically speaking we're a Kraven and a Mysterio from having AN iteration of the Sinister Six founding members... Even if it took multiple Spider-men.)

Articulation:
Vulture's wingpack is articulated... taking it into consideration in addition to the figure's articulation as well. Vulture posseses normal ML articulation WITHOUT The wingpack. With it, he gains a few extra PoAs.
It's not prefect, but functional enough.
4.5


Paint and sculpt:
The figure LOOKS LIKE VULTURE wearing the helmet... shame we don't have a Keaton head... This is where fans do what the companies won't. Seen some Custom heads on the internet (likeness varies between customs)
Did I mention that his wingspan is huge?

The figure is impressive, but it needs a bit of an oomph...
4.0

Accessories:
Seeing that this wave is a massive dick move. You get a wingless Vulture and his wings are the BaF... you'd expect zero accessories... well you're wrong! And right at the same time?
Really, all he has is a flight syand that can hold the wingpack WHILE VULTURE IS GROUNDED...
2.5

Overall:
Toomes gets a 3.67 as his final score. A better flight stand and a Keaton head would have knocked him out of the park... I can finally remove this guy from the list... one down a buttload of items to go... most of them Marvel Legends.
