Marvel Legends - NEBULA (HEIST)!

Marvel Legends What If...? (The Watcher Series) - Heist Nebula - Hasbro 2021

If you haven't watched What If...? on Disney+ yet, I highly suggest you do. I was a fan of the comics when I was a kid, both the first run from 1977-84 and series two from 1988-98. I always thought it was amazing how many of the "preposterous" storylines were eventually became canon years later. (My favorite being "What if Jane Foster had found the Hammer of Thor?" from issue #10 (1978).. which we saw come to fruition in a spectacular way 34 years later). Like the comics, each episode of What If...? features a standalone story focusing on how events would unfold if a key event would have happened differently. This Nebula figure is from the second episode "What if... T'Challa became a Starlord?" I'll be honest, after seeing the episode, I'm surprised she warranted an action figure. She wasn't a focal character, and T'Challa got a figure.. so two figures from a single 30 minute episode seems odd, but I'm not complaining, because I love Nebula and this is a fun interpretation of her look. Let's check her out below!























Nebula comes with two sets of hands and a small blaster.










Her blaster fits snugly in her holster.







Nebula comes with the torso, pelvis, cape, and high collar piece for The Watcher Build-a-Figure..


























Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!


Here are my three Nebulas together: GOTG2 2017, What If 2021, and Endgame 2019.




And here she is with her wave-mate, Captain Carter.






Cheers!

    1. In the episode I thought her hair was white, but the toy definitely has a yellow tint to it. I also like how in the episode her hair is covering her cybernetic eye, I wish the toy had a peek of that underneath.
