Finally got this bad boy. He normally goes for a decent price but I got this one really cheap because he didn't come with wings. Fortunately I have a spare pair of wings from the Annyh...Anihi...Anyha....B.A.F from that Hasbro Marvel Legends series with Hercules and the White Queen. They fit perfectly and I'll get around to painting them up to match Dragon Man (even his mouth is articulated)   |

Sweet!  Certainly beats trying to find MOC. Yikes! I think he actually surpasses Toad and the Stealth Iron Man. |

Outside of him being too small, he's an outstanding figure. Great sculpting work by Toybiz.

Yeah, I think he's meant to be 20' tall. Sounds like a great candidate for a B.A.F. (presuming we get any ever again) |

Yeah, way back I was thinking of a Dragon Man custom then saw this guy and thought "Good enough". Like Raj said though, shame he ain't bigger. |

Finally!!! This figure was my most sought after Marvel Legends figure. Why? Because the Fantastic Four series never made it to Australia (yeah, I know, big shock). But even if it did I wasn't interested in any of the figures in the series except Mole Man. The rest were just characters that had been done in other waves and I wasn't duplicating. As a consequence there was no chance I could make the B.A.F. I've been watching ebay but on the rare occasion that this figure is listed it goes for a hefty price. Finally managed to snag one when I just sent the seller a "would you accept an offer?". They cancelled the listing and Ronan the Accuser was all mine! Yay team!  |

Great purchase! I don't suppose you'd like to divulge that bad boy set you back?

Great Score! (I have no idea who he is, so he must be hard to get). Feels good to have what you wanted finally arrive right? |

Thanks guys! Really stoked about this figure. Between this acquisition and Tyroc and Freak Studio helping me out I'm literally down to a handful of figures that I need to complete my ML. As for the acquisition process, the two previous Ronan's I watched on ebay went for US$89 and US$69 respectively (the latter not posted internationally). So when I saw this one listed (literally in the first hour) with a starting bid of US$5, I sent them an email saying I'll give you US$50 right now and they said 'yes' and cancelled the auction. Postage was another US$10 but man did they do a good job, he was in a huge box (visible in the previous pic). He's also a big fucker...pictured here with Series 1 Captain America.  |
