Review of Avengers Minimates Disney Store Exclusive Box-Sets PART 2!

Box-Set #2: The Avengers Vs. The Grim Reaper


Iron Man:




Iron Man is a pretty good minimate. For an Iron Man he has a great mix of sculpted and painted detail, both of which are awesome, unlike some of the more recent ones i've seen where everything is sculpted. The armor choice is alright but it's not my favorite armor. He has a ball joint at the head, shoulders and hips, hinges at the knees and elbows, and swivels at the wrists, feet, and waist. His helmet can be removed to show a Tony Stark face. The rest of the armor can be removed but there isn't much under the pieces. His accessory is a flight stand. It would have been cool to see him have a "repulsor firing" hand but its still good. Especially considering the accessories that the other two Avengers of the set get. Overall hes a solid Iron Man minimate and a good addition to your minimate hall of armor.

Thor:





Ok, so I'm a big Thor fan but never liked his classic costume, but for some reason....I love it on this minimate. To me, he is the star of the set, tied only with the Avenger's resident archer. He has the same articulation as Iron Man, and his paintwork is fantastic. His accessories are an alternate head (without beard), alternate hair-piece) and the coolest one, the hand piece that simulates him swinging the hammer!!! IT'S SO FRIGGIN EPIC!!!!!!!!! It's worth mentioning he cant have the long hair sans helmet while wearing the cape. It doesn't fit. Not a total buzzkill. Wierdly enough I think the way he looks in the last pic above looks better than with helmet and cape. Overall this is a must have Thor. Trult amazing.

Hawkeye:







Hawkeye is definitely my second favorite of the set. He has a great mix of paint and sculpt, and his accessories ar etop notch. He comes with an alternate hairpiece, 5 arrows, a bow,and finally,  a removable quiver. The arrows can be storedin the quiver and one can be clipped onto the bow as seen above. This guy is awesome and features the same articulation as the others. Overall an awesome Hawkeye.

The Grim Reaper:




The Grim Reaper is exactly what I love from minimates. Minimal sculpt with painted on detail. Just like the classics. He has really nice painted on detail and I love the scythe hand he has. His accessory is a clear base and he features standard minimate articulation. Overall a little known character gets a great minimate.

OVERALL:
As a set, this is great all the minimates have great things going for them and really compliments the other set. Get it before its too late!!

9 OUT OF 10!!
