Now, Deadpool (“ The Merc with the Mouth”) really came to be the one we know. In 1997 he was given his own spin-off and the character truly came into his own with story arcs from Joe Kelly and Ed McGuiness. Originally designed to be a part of the Wolverine story, Deadpool was said to be an ex-special forces mercenary given healing properties. Pool?” – Dopinder)ĭeadpool (the character) was created in 1991 by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza.

(images from ) OK, so who is this Deadpool? (AKA “Why the fancy red suit, Mr. Sheriff Deadpool doesn’t have such a link being a combination of Woody from Toy Story and Deadpool (so if you have the parts, you can make your own!) However, the character of Deadpool the Duck was released in 2017 as a graphic novel which saw Deadpool crossed with Howard the Duck, so in the Deadpool canon it does count. Whether you would want to consider these as Deadpool figures (as they aren’t actually Deadpool as such), or whether you would want to consider them as “in a LEGO set” (because they were produced as a limited run, for a specific event) is for you to decide. LEGO did release two San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) exclusives in 20 Deadpool Duck and Sheriff Deadpool. However, it does mean that LEGO released one set with Deadpool. However, if you have seen the film (“X-Men origins: Wolverine”) you will have seen that the character of Deadpool in the film really isn’t a fair depiction of Deadpool as we would commonly recognise him. And as you can see from the image, Deadpool is equipped with a crowbar, a sword and a gun. Well, there is a LEGO set with Deadpool in it is set 6866-1 Wolverine’s Chopper Showdown, released in 2012. I do, however, have a LEGO Deadpool, so yay. So, I still don’t have an action figure Deadpool. That would have been fine, if it wasn’t for the fact that they had several WWE action figures for example, James Bond toys and other figures and collectibles that were definitely more “not a kid’s film” than Deadpool. I was told that there wasn’t a figure but that also it was unlikely that there would be, because “it’s not a kid’s film.” “Excuse me, where are the Deadpool figures?” I asked. I was directed to the action figures area… but there was no Deadpool. Being into toy photography I assumed that an action figure would be released to cash in on this success so, I paid a visit to a well-known large London toy shop to buy a figure. It was 2016 and the film Deadpool had been recently released to much hype and success.

“Which LEGO set is Deadpool in?” It was an interesting question, and one that came with a little backstory for me.
