Box-Set #1, The Avengers Vs. Kang


Captain America:

Steve Rogers here is, in my opinion, the star of this set. Mainly because he is a perfect representation of Cap in minimate form. Now I have been out of the loop as far as minimates go for a while so I can't say if this is a repack or not so for ME, this is the star of the set. Like all Minimates he has a balljointed head, balljointed shoulders, hinge elbows, swivel wrists, swivel waist, balljointed hips, hinge knees, and usually swivel feet but thats hindered by his boots. In terms of sculptued detail, there isn't much but where there is (hair, mask, shield, boots and gloves and harness) its great. His paint apps, which is really what makes up a minimate figure, are solid. The shield's paint is a bit off center but not too bad. His accessories are his alternate hairpiece, removable shield harness, and te shield itself. Overall, a great Cap minmate with fun posing options.
Smart Hulk:

Smart Hulk isn't bad but he's also not great. My main flaw is all of the add-on pieces to simulate his bulk. It makes moving his joints hard because they tend  to slide out of place or fall off. The paint is good, as is the sculpt and articulation is the exact same as Cap. For accessories he comes with two pieces of rock. No idea why. They don't fit in his hands. He can just stand on them..........cool? Overall a good minimate but not the best.

Antman/Giantman:

Antman is probably the second star of the set for me. He is what (like Cap) a good minimate should be, mostly paintwork with not too much sculpted detail and alot of accessories. The paint is clean and the articulation is the same as Cap. As for accessories he has a ton. He has his Antman helmet and Giantman helmet, his belt, 3 pairs of feet, one that looks like a pair of elevator shoes for when he is Giant Man, regular for when he is normal height, and one that looks like slippers for Antman height.  Another accessory that helps the height change is a silver wiast extension under his belt. Finally he has an alternate hairpiece and a glowing purple thing to show him increasing from small to normal height. (Sorry for last pic, I originally had no clue what the purple piece was for so I took that pic last minute for the review.) Overall a solid minimate!

Kang:

Kang is also a good minimate but not my favorite. He has a nice mix of sculpted detail and paint apps, both of which are great and he has, again, the same articulation as Cap. His accessories are two guns. The purple thing is for Antman but I did not know that and I thouoght it was for him...looks kinda cool though. Overall Kang is a great minimate to add to any collection.

OVERALL:
So looking at the set as a whole I can reccomend it strongly. Cap and Antman are absolutely amazing minimates and Smart Hulk is good. Kang, the villain of the set is better than Hulk but not up to par with the other two, at least in my opinion. That said I can't think of a reason not to get this set.

8 out of 10!!
