Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge Captain America
fan. Luckily, I am able to put toys on my desk at work so there are an
unnatural amount of Captain America toys populating my desk. There is also a
small army of BeMos from Adventure Time, but that’s another story.
When I heard that Marvel was doing a series of action
figures where you can swap out body parts I was intrigued. When I saw the
Captain America figure for nine bucks at a grocery trip to Aldi’s I took the
plunge.
This is a pretty stocky action figure. I think it may have
been designed with the younger crowd in mind. The musculature is stocky and
exaggerated, you know, like if Bart Sears had drawn the plan for the figure. It
has eleven points of articulation, which isn’t a lot, but then most figures
don’t allow you to pop off various limbs and add extremities from the likes of
The Hulk, Dr. Doom and Spider-Man. That is pretty cool. And, yes, you can pop
the head off.
To be honest, I might pick up The Falcon figure because it
goes with Captain America, but I can’t see myself investing in the entire line
of figures. It would mess up my desk theme for one. Maybe if they introduce
more villains. I could use a Red Skull Masher. You hear me Marvel?
My only complaint would be the injection points for the arms
and legs seem a little rough and sloppy.
You can see there wasn’t much care in making these, but what can you
expect from a combination of Hasbro, Marvel and China?
