Re: Lego Marvel
Managed to get the Cap, Wolverine, and Hulk sets this weekend.
The Cap set is crap like most of the cheapie sets, but its not bad to get Cap and 2 army builders.
The Wolverine set is awesome. The way they did Wolverine's claws isn't the best they could have come up with, but it works. Little disapointed they didn't have a masked head for Wolverine though. The unmasked head is great though, but feels like they only went that route because they had the mold for the hair already. Magneto and Deapool are sweet. I just wish Magneto had a blue bubble or something to float in besides that little disc. And the copter is great for the price. Probably the best bang for you buck set.
The Hulk set is nice. I wish Hulk hat a little more articulation (only shoulders and hands). Head movement at the least would have been nice. But he is still awesome. I love that he can hold other figures upsidedown by the legs
Loki is nice, but I swear his head is the same as Lex Luthor. As a result, he has no alternate expression which is weak since the helm covers the back of his head. Thor's hair is just too light IMO. I ordred a tan colored hair piece to fix this, but its more comic colored than what Hemsworth has. Hawkeye's hair is all wrong. Not even close to the same style. They really needed to create a new mold for his hair IMO. His hair is combed forward and up in the front in the film, not slicked back like they gave him.
Not sure what is up with the set's title though. It would have been better to call it Loki's Helicarrier Escape instead of Hulk, since he's not locked up in the slightest or have any features indicating as such. Loki's the one behind the glass!
And the two chairs at the top of this set make me feel we missed out on getting some SHIELD agents or Fury thrown in this set. I don't think Thor would sit at a computer, Hulk can't, Loki's locked up, and Hawkeye has a jet to set it so someone is missing.
I had a heck of a time finding these so I just went ahead and ordered the last 2 sets (until they come up with that Spidey set, hopefully in time for the May Hulk promo) and am unpatiently awaiting their arrival.
