Captain America
Is this the first real accessory in this line? Could be! Capt is looking good, he's either about to throw or just caught his shield. His paint is good but his smile seems odd for facing off against Red Skull. If he were practicing with Hawkeye, it would look fine... All in all, a good version of Captain America. B
Red Skull
Wielding the Cosmic Cube, Red Skull is in his green jumpsuit. Not the most visually dynamic outfit but iconic nonetheless. He looks good but some may have issues with his mouth. Part of me would have preferred his newer outfit, but hey, Hasbro doesn't seem to have problems making Nazi toys. B

Okay, I rated it low. Red Skull is severely limited in his pose without any waist or head movement and I'm a little upset with the shield. I can only get Cap to hold it in a couple poses, neither of which seem very natural. I would have been much happier if it was glued to him.

Captain America
Captain America's look on his face does seem odd for facing off againest Red Skull. On the plus side his shield is one off the first accessory's in the SHS line. You can take his sheild on or off also. A
Red Skull
Red Skull does seem a little bit crazy looking. Red Skull looks he is laughing at someone 's joke. His face should be more creepy looking. At least he is holding his Cosmic Cube and he is in his green jumpsuit. But I sure do wish they would make a creepier version of Red Skull. Not too exciting. D

A.
This is my favorite Super Squad pack. The Cap pose is very much like his 'Fierce Punch' attack in the Marvel vs. Capcom games. Being paired with his arch-enemy Red Skull was a great idea. The Skull himself is holding the Cosmic Cube, a hardcore reference to be sure. Ideally he would have some Nazi armband on or something, but these "are for kids", amirite?
Great pack!

 I love it when heroes are paired up with their archenemies. So getting Captain America and Red Skull together is great. Sure, both figures have their flaws but they look right and make for good toys. Now if only Hasbro would release a business suit version of Red Skull. Did you know that Jack Kirby and Joe Simon got death threats for having Captain America punch Hitler in the face? Learn your comics history! jestergoblin.com/?p=4981 |
