Ant Man moves at the waist and arms but his arm placement looks really, really weird. They're both oddly places on his sides and only look good in one or two poses, otherwise it looks like he's got broken arms. Plus the figure looks top heavy, his chest is huge and his helmet is even huger. He just doesn't look right for Ant Man. The heads too big, the chest is too big. This guy is a scientist, not a body builder. His chest shouldn't be bigger than Iron Man's! D
Dr. Strange looks good though, he's got the standard SHS/Galactic Heroes legs, which a lot of these new figures are moving away from. Both arms rotate and the waist, but all are restricted by his cape. I wish his hands weren't like he was about to give someone a high five, but the figure fits with this line stylistically. C+

Easily one of my favorite 2 packs. First off, it looks great displayed MIP, the bright yellows and reds really draw the eye to this pack. Dr. Strange is excellent IMO, couldn't have made him much better (except the standard Galactic Hero legs, like Jestergoblin mentioned, that takes him down to a B) and I really like that they made an old school Ant Man to maybe get kids asking who he is and into older Marvel comics. I personally think his helmet looks great, I mean, these figures are SUPPOSED to be super deformed, so they're going to have exaggerated heads/arms/chests/fists/etc. A great overall pack. A

 Like most of Wave 5, this pack is near impossible to find. Ant-Man isn’t a good figure though. His pose and size feel out of character and I’d rather get an Ant-Man that is super tiny and sculpted onto an existing figure – like Hawkeye’s bow! As for Dr. Strange, he feels out dated and with a new version of him coming out soon, it’s worth waiting. Though I do think it’s impressive to include both the former Sorcerer Supreme and the Scientist Supreme in the same set. Full review: jestergoblin.com/?p=2729 |
