If you buy all 6 of this new Marvel Legends wave, you can get the pieces to make Zabu, the sentient Smilodon.



I would have loved this as a Marvel Comics-obsessed 11-year-old.

That's a pretty awesome Zabu! I would love to have one, but not at the expense of buying six figures I have no interest in...

BAFs tend to show up on eBay, but your looking at 50-100.00 for them.  I picked up Sauron and he was pricey. The Ghostbuster Terror Dog was around 50/75.

Didn't know they'd done a piecewise Sauron. He was one of my favorite X-Men villains, but yeah, I'm not gonna splash out for that. It's kind of a cynical move.

Sauron is my favorite Marvel character for obvious reasons. I own almost every issue he's ever appeared in since the 1960's. I met Neil Adams, the illustrator who first drew him, 9 years ago and had him sign the first appearance. Then last year I drove down to Missouri to meet Roy Thomas, the writer of that first issue, and have him sign it too. I also ponied up for a head sketch. Roy was much nicer.

It's a really nicely done piece. big, semi translucent wings and very poesable. I have displayed with my Savage Land Rogue statue.
