    Top 10 Marvel Legends Action Figures (Series 11) - The Legendary Rider Series

    MARVEL LEGENDS SERIES 11: TASKMASTER (Jan 2006)
    Toy Biz brings back the Marvel Legends action figure format for an eleventh series, the Legendary Rider Series. Each action figure is highly articulated and comes packaged with a reprinted comic book, or in some cases, a poster book. The idea behind Marvel Legends is to create definitive action figure interpretations of classic Marvel characters. Each figure in series 11 is packaged with a vehicle which they can ride in a legendary fashion. Series 11 also includes a Marvel Vs. game card.

    1) Scarlet Witch Action Figure
    The Scarlet Witch action figure is being re-worked and will be released in a later series of Marvel Legends. However, before this decision was made, a limited number of Scarlet Witch figures were released in Asia. You may see them on eBay, but rest assured that when she is finally released, she will have a wide release and should not be difficult to find. The revised version will be much-improved, so it should not be a loss to your collection to not have the initial scrapped version.

    2) Variant Wonder Man Action Figure
    The variant version of the Wonder Man action figure will be easy to spot, as he is cast in a translucent blue/purple color, depicting his "ionic" nature.

    6) Taskmaster Action Figure
    The Taskmaster action figure has 34 points of articulation and comes with an air scooter. (I would describe it more as a glider, but the packaging calls it an air scooter.) He also has an arsenal of weapons: sword, pistol, quiver, billy club, and shield.

    9) Wonder Man Action Figure
    The Wonder Man action figure has 36 points of articulation and comes with an air-glider vehicle. The package also includes a small figure of Yellow Jacket, posed in mid-flight.
