Spider-Man looks a little... sticky. The symbiote figure makes a reappearance and it looks pretty decent (aside from the face that suddenly parts of spider-man are transparent). Like the webbing Spidey, he's dynamic but stuck in a single pose. He's okay and visually unique. A solid repaint. C+
Ultron has giant fists. I mean GIANT. Like the size of most figure's torsos. He looks aggressive and angry, which is nice. For a robot. A good enough sculpt and recognizable (although I think of Ultron as being skinnier). A perfectly fine, new figure. B

Spider-man: This figure created continuing bursts of happy-explosions in my mind from the moment I first saw the previews of it. All due to my weird love for transparent toys. That being said I think this figure goes beyond a simple repaint. We're not getting just a staff and playing card being turned transparent here, it's bascially half of the figure. That's a lot of cool symbiote transparency if you ask me. Spider-man's costume is updated from Movie (bleh) to comic book and everything clicks together. PoA include his head and left arm, which is just about better than none, but still retaining a couple of solid poses. This Spider-man now joins the ranks of Dark Phoenix, Iceman, Human Torch, Zzzax, Mirage, Obiwan and Emperor as some of my top favorite figures. A
Ultron: A new villain entry to the SHS series brings us a prime example of just how stylistic this line can get. This figure reminds me a lot of the Ronin figure. On Ronin you couldn't move his arms at his shoulders, but you can move them wrist. Here we find the exact opposite: all shoulder movement and no wrist movement. Which is ok, but still feels lacking. Ultron's overall sculpt is good and I feel the exaggerated parts work on him because he's a robot. Not much detail on the paint job, but again the detail of the sculpt saves this figure from it's downsides. Also Ultron is able to do some totally radical spins on his back if you place his arms sort above his head but still infront of his face. On breakdancing skills alone I rate this figure at a B+.

They're both good figs, but there's no reason for them to be together and definitely no reason for reddish goo attacking SM. I do really like the Ultron, he goes very well in my somewhat lacking villain area of the shelf.

 So while the pairing doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, Ultron is a must have for any fan of the Avengers. He’s a big robot and a worthy foe, but more importantly, he’s a good toy. Throw in a few more random robots and you’ve got a great battle going. Full review: jestergoblin.com/?p=5424 |
