This Marvel Legends figure is pretty good. Very articulate and painted well. I think it is the best one out of the Fantastic Four figures.

His face is all wrong. But, he has got some neat gadgets and a cool little fantasticar!

This product line has already established itself as overdoing the articulation, but the Mr. Fantastic figure is total overkill. The point to increasing articulation points is to make the figure more posable. Toy Biz caught articulation fever at some point, however, and the extremely posable figures are so distorted from the representation of the characters they're modeled after, they are not worth displaying. Hence, zero posability. Some figures, such as "The Thing", work out great with a toned-down case of articulation fever, but the human characters just don't.
Where they really go wrong is where you notice less forward progress in the design and more of a call back to Mego figures from the 70's. If this figure was wearing a tiny polyester jumpsuit with plastic removable boots and a hollow rubber head rather than a painted-on outfit and solid plastic construction, you'd have trouble distinguishing between the two models. It just doesn't look at all human. The articulations at the fingers and toes, at the waist, and at the thigh joints really detract from what could have been the best F4 figures yet. Plus, the exaggerated muscles on his chest & stomach are obnoxious. He's a scientist! He does not own a Soloflex!
One more thing. A Reed Richards action figure without grey hair on his temples is the Punisher action figure with a shave and a different suit. Reed Richards has grey hair on his temples, this figure doesn't. As other reviewers mention, the image in the photo, which is also the image on the reverse side of the packaging, is not of the final product.

The online picture looks,well, pretty authentic and GOOD. Don't order it yet, though. Now take a walk down to Wal*Mart. Go to the toy aisle. Now go to the action figure aisle. There should be a large display of their newest shipment, Marvel Legends Series V. Now look at Mista Fantastic. Like the online picture, old Reedy comes with a square FaNtAsTiCaR. ewwwww. His nostrils are flared wide open. He has light, not dark, brown hair, unlike the picture and comics. And you'd think after being at least 60 years old, Dr. Richards would have his trade mark white sideburns. he doesn't.
By looking at only his arms, he looks about 70 pounds if he was real. Looks like he'll be even less durable than the supposedly "invincible" Iron Man Marvel legend, right? His costume's baby blue. BABY blue. He has detatchable hands and extremely heavy "bendy" alternate ones. How ka-ka-ka-ka-RAPPY is THAT? And yes I have been reading comics for only 3 years and i have caught up this well.
