I just received a Marvel Legends Deadpool’s Head from Hasbro and I was pleasantly surprised with the experience.
It’s one of those collectibles that I never thought I needed but now that I’ve had the experience? I can’t resist waking into my office and being insulted and entertained! I’m SO glad Hasbro’s PR thought of me to try one out!
This is a fully interactive, 1:1 scale premium, electronic, app-enhanced collectible with over 600 SFX and phrases, multiple sensors, and motors for expressive movement. It’s super detailed and emotive to the extreme!
The movement is uncannily smooth and the head whips around telling jokes and throwing insults a mile a minute. I was afraid it would topple off my shelf. It’s a hefty, robust and surprisingly well balanced the way the the internal servos & motors swings the head around.
Using the free app, set Deadpool up to play pranks, insult your friends and loved ones, or wake you up every morning… maybe even on time!
It senses light changes, movement & sounds and just randomly starts talking. You don’t really need the app but it actually does add to the fun. Every time you turn it on, it resets the voice lines and having 600 + sounds & effects it takes awhile to get to your favorites.
The app has a “prank mode” where you can set interactive games, a “bed mode” ( don’t ask) a “ party mode” where it chatters non stop and the “Worlds Worst Alarm Clock” which works as an alarm clock you never know which lines are coming which is part of the fun.
It never actually swears (it bleeps curses) but it’s plenty provocative and gross. Which is totally on brand for Deadpool. My favorite part is when the head breaks the fourth wall, “I had the weirdest dream, I was a severed head on a nerds bookshelf… IT WAS REAL!!!!”
It retails for $99.99 which isn’t cheap, but this really depends upon how much of a fan you are of Deadpool.
It is a one of a kind collectable to be sure and with the fully Bluetooth enabled app, I’m hoping you can get downloads and software updates from Hasbro. I’ll keep you posted once I get a response from Hasbro on updates.
If so, I can definitely see laying out the cash for one of you are a Deadpool super fan. If you’re a deadpool fan, you’ll really get a kick out of it!
I’ve played with it for a couple of days now and it still surprises me with dialogue I hadn’t heard or clever puns & jokes that are totally on brand for the “Merc with a Mouth”!
