My first review of this figure, I said: "Capt is looking good! I prefer his Ultimate look now and this does a good job of cuteyfying it without losing the differences. He moves at the arms and waist. Be careful with the paint, the A on his head can be anywhere from on top of his head, dead center on covering an eye. He feels bigger than the other Capt but they're basically the same size. Solid figure, didn't wow me but good. B"
The big difference on this figure is the paint. His skin is darker and his paints are different colored. Still a fine figure, but I prefer the original's paint scheme more. B-
Black Widow is unarticulated and can easily get warped in packaging. Still, she looks good overall. Her bodysuit works and the gold belt and wrists are well painted. Hell, her gun looks like a real gun. She'd be at home with any of the Combat Heroes too. Overall, a really good figure. B+

I want to knock Black Widow for having 0 articulation but it's hard to do so since she looks pretty good. There is a lot of nice detail on her, such as the wristbands, the gold-link belt, and the clasp on her neck. She's extremely stable and her pose is not bad. Her body is so firm that I'm not sure if she's made of the same material as other SHS figures (that's right, I fondle my SHS to see how firm they are! j/k). Overall, she just looks like a very high quality figure. A-
It's hard to fairly judge a figure when you simply don't care for the costume. Such is the case with Ultimate Captain America. It's interesting that the face on this Cap is about as sinister as the one in the first two pack. B-

Black Widow is perfect! She looks great popping caps into Red Skull and his army of Col. Dovchenkos.
I love the Ultimate Cap Squader....I just prefer the first one.
The pack gets a B instead of an A because of the inclusion of a repack.

 Captain America isn’t super exciting for someone like me who buys all these toys, but for smaller kids I see a reason to keep the Marvel mainstay on the shelves. Making him a repaint helps too but I’d love to see this figure done in the classic Marvel Universe colors. Black Widow looks great and is a fine addition to the females in this line. Her pose is unique; she looks good and really just makes me remember how much of a disappointment Baroness was in the second wave of Combat Heroes. For awesome WWII action: jestergoblin.com/?p=6165 |
