Blade, based on the Wesley Snipes movie character of the same name (not the dude from the Masters of the Universe movie), is only the second film character made in the line (the first being Ben Affleck's Daredevil).
Like all the previous Marvel Legends, the same packaging is used for Blade, which is a good thing.
The face sculpt is incredibly dead-on and looks to be identical to the actor. The details and texture on the clothing are also quite impressive and pretty accurate to the film.
The painting of the face is done with a decent amount of care, but they did a pretty good job keeping everything on the outfit clean. The nicest application here I would have to say can be found on the back of the neck. Blade's tattoo is nicely done.
Most of the joints here are similar to other figures but the most interesting of all is the mid-torso joint allowing him to even lean to the left or right.
Let’s have a look at some of his accessories. He has a pair of removable shades which fit pretty well. The removable trenchcoat is another nice accessory. The samurai sword is also great and fits nicely on his back. There's even a slit in the coat for easy access. The "blade-a-rang" is abled to fold it up if preferred, but a bit to big. That also goes for his gun, which looks really cool and has a working ammo slide. At least there comes the motorcycle. It is a nice add-on, but lacks details.
In the end, this is still a figure that fans just can't be without. If you don't like the movie, then well, you don't need to get it, but if you're a fan of toys, this won't disappoint... too much. It's still a pretty strong offering with 35 points of articulation, removable shades and trenchcoat, a motorcycle, and some other weapons. This is also a fantastic sculpt of Wesley Snipes so it's still a great buy.
