Especially for $20 mass-retail action figures. They really are taking it to the next level. She’s a gorgeous figure, and it amazes me how much the quality of Hasbro movie product has improved in the last couple years. If you are into the movie then I think Mantis is a must-have. I’d just like to maybe see better elbow range explored in the future. For example, the improvements to long hair is fantastic. I don’t feel the need to harp over it because they aren’t just staying stagnant with their engineering like Mattel. It would be great if Hasbro could explore this for future waves. And that may be just because it’s such a female heavy lineup. I’ve really felt the limitations of their elbow articulation in this wave. The only complaint I have here is that while I love the Hasbro female body, I think it may be time to look into double jointed elbows. Both Mantis and Gamora really benefit from this change. It also helps that they appear to be using a softer plastic for the hair, which makes it so much easier to move her head around. Regardless of some very slight paint mess I think they captured her personality in the face perfectly. The head comes with Adam Warlock, so when these start hitting stores more regularly I may attempt to secure a better painted Mantis head in addition to another Adam. Which is a bit of a shame, but it’s very tiny and only noticeable at certain angles. The only place I have a tiny bit of paint slop is around her eyes. The paint applications are very clean, even down the rivets on the sides of her pants. Her outfit is painted over in a beautiful pearlescent green. Mantis’ sculpt is gorgeous but it’s the paints the really bring the character to life. In order to build her you will need to buy every character in the wave except for Death’s Head II. Nebula or Ronan were not afforded the same luxury the first time around, but I think it’s fair to say the Marvel Legends line was in a different place back then. She’s a completely unique sculpt and a new character. Similar to the X-Files, I enjoy the self-contained stories while skimming over the main story line.Įven if she had to be a build-a-figure, I’m impressed Hasbro got Mantis out while the movie was still in theaters. 2, because it mostly stays clear of the overarching Infinity War story line. That’s why I appreciate Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. The Avengers are boring and probably my least favorite part of this whole Disney-Marvel cinematic universe experiences. It took two to three years to finally get Falcon, and on top of that Vision has yet to be made. That’s correct, the staple team of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is STILL incomplete. In comparison, we still don’t have a complete Avengers team from any one movie.
