MARVEL ActionVerse Avengers Captain America

Image
More ActionVerse please! This is correct my action figure collecting friends! I buy, take pics of and review cheap, brightly accessorized action figures so you don't have to 😉 I've already gone over the Spider-Man wave, now it's time to check out The Avengers!  This might be what Captain America is looking like these days, I'm not sure. The Marvel Universe changes faster than our weather does here in Upstate, NY. It's not a bad look. And this being an evergreen toy aimed at the kiddos, the colors and paint apps are nice and bright.  Every Cappy fig should be able to carry his shield on his back.  The ActionVerse accessories are war based. Attachable missles and jet pack make Captain America look more like a Centurion. Dang, remember Centurions?!? Next up...

MARVEL ActionVerse Venom

Image
 It's been fun opening and snapping pics of these cool and colorful figures over breakfast and coffee in the morning. Venom is next up on the list so let's take a look at everybody's favorite moody neighborhood alien symbiote!  Every Venom action figure, imo, should come with the iconic protruding tounge head sculpt. Makes me wonder if during the creative process, Todd Mcfarlane had Gene Simmons on the brain.  This figure checks all of the boxes although it is a little on the short side. The accessories are a nice bright yellow, fit nicely into the peg holes and can be attached anywhere on the body. I didn't get too creative but I could see kids having fun mixing and matching them with other figures in the line.    More ActionVerse on the way! Stay tuned 👀

MARVEL ActionVerse Miles Morales

Miles Morales. I was never a huge fan but then again I didn't know enough about him to form a definitive opinion. I still don't. When the Spidey-verse went bizarro I paid less and less attention. At some point I'd like to pick up a TPB or a few single issues of early Miles Morales appearances to catch up. Or maybe, in an alternate universe, I already have!  I like this figure. Everything from the cool accessories down to the overall appearance. These are the kinds of figures that make snapping pics enjoyable. Even with the limited articulation,  because of all the different accessories you can get some pretty cool shots.  This isn't some special effect filter. I'm not sure what happened here but my phone cam did something weird to Miles Morales. How apropos that it looks like an alien symbiote. I kinda like the way it came out.  Next up...

MARVEL ActionVerse Ghost Spider

Image
Not gonna lie, I know absolutely nothing about this character. Here's my geek card. Go ahead, take it 😜  Ghost Spider or Gwen Stacey or Spider Gwen is part of a Spidey universe that  I was never too crazy about. Alternate universes/realities in comic books and television always confused the shit outta me. Here's my feeble attempt at reconnecting. Let's take a look at Ghost Spider!  Once again, the figure I thought I was going to dislike the most in this line is now a favorite. I'm actually digging Ghost Spider more than Spider-Man. Also, check out the Spider-Ham accessory 💪! I'm really enjoying the backpacks in this line! They give me strong GIJoe feels.  You can expect this group of two to expand as I've got lots more Marvel ActionVerse figures to cover. Stay tuned!
