Sunspot (Strong Guy Wave)
Sunspot in the 2020 Marvel Legends Strong Guy Build-A-Figure wave appears in a bright comic-inspired red and blue costume rather than his fully powered blacked-out form. The release represents Roberto da Costa in a traditional X-Men look while including energy effects to suggest his solar powers.
SCULPT AND DESIGN
The figure uses a standard athletic male Marvel Legends body with clean panel lines and a bold colour layout. The portrait features a partially powered look with darkened skin tone and red eye mask effect rather than a full energy sculpt. The standout features are the removable circular solar energy effects that attach to the hands, allowing powered display options without permanently altering the sculpt.
Articulation follows modern Legends standards with good range in shoulders and legs for action poses. Paint applications are simple but crisp, especially around the chest emblem and face detailing.
ACCESSORIES
- Two solar energy effect pieces
- Alternate hands
- Strong Guy torso (BAF)
COLLECTOR NOTES
The energy rings are frequently missing in loose listings because they detach easily in storage. Some copies show minor paint rub around the neck collar due to tight packaging.
VALUE NOTES
Collectors often buy this figure specifically for the Strong Guy torso piece, making incomplete versions common. Complete figures hold value thanks to the unique power effects and bright costume.
