Wave 4: Beast and Iceman

IF YOU FIND THIS FOR RETAIL BUY IT.

Beast
I love Hank. I wish he were bulkier, but the fact that he has giant hands and feet works so well. Plus he can stand on his head! A

Iceman
My biggest complaint on this figure is the snowball. I feel it detracts from the figure as a whole, especially in comparison with his snow sled. His head bothers me too, it seems too smooth. B-

Overall, a very good pack.

Beast is very well done. His "horny" hair is nice and he has little embellishments of fur on his shoulders, elbows, and legs. The friendly expression is good for Hank, though perhaps there should be a bit of fang. The big hands and 3-point articulation work nicely for the acrobatic Beast. He is maybe a bit too small, as others noted, but most of the bulky characters are a bit understated sizewise in SHS. Finally, I prefer this version over the furry version because although the felt was a great idea, it looks faded, as if Beast is starting to get gray hairs. A.

This is likewise my favorite Iceman. I would prefer that he was a bit more chiseled, but the softer look is appropriate for SHS. I'm very glad his arms move because otherwise he'd be a statue rather than an action figure. I actually like the snowball because it reminds me of that move in X-men Streetfighter, where he could summon that giant ball of ice/snow onto his enemies. A.
