It came from the Toy Chest: Marvel's Creepy Old man in green tights...

Of course I'm talking about Adrian "Vulture" Toomes. Old man who built a flying harness and lives a life of crime, when he should be home watching Springer, The Price is Right, or whatever old people do. Oh no, now I'm an ageist... but yeah, Vulture is an Old School character and the last of the Sinister six to be made in Marvel Legends. Sadly, I don't have an Electro to complete the six.
We need flight stands.

articulation 
Vulture seems to be built in the pizza Spidey body, whose posability we have discussed a lot.  The new pieces are head arms and neck fluff. The new elbows and biceps are a bit stiff. With the wings attached his articulation is slightly hindered. And they fall off every time you try to pose him. I'm tempted to glue them on him. (Ended up gluing only the Bicep peices.)
4.5
I know they are backwards.
I just wish they looked the same on both sides 

paint and sculpt 
Since he's mostly park reviews there isn't that many new details added to the sculpt. The wings are a mixed bag. One side looks way too smooth and the other looks like a cheap bootleg.
Everything else looks nice... for a geriatric criminal wearing green tights.
4.0
The Ultimate Helmet would look
cool if it would fit his head.

accessories 
Aside the BAF piece? Nothing, zip, zilch, nada, the big goose egg. Oh wait, there's a Helmeted head for Toomes. It was meant to be a Blackie Drago head but it looks like Adrian Toomes.
3.0

Overall:
Vulture gets a 3.83 as his final score. Had his wings been a bit more detailed, or the extra head had been a Blackie Drago head, he'd have fared higher.
