Captain America 2 A.I.M. Agent"},"content":{"rendered":"

It\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve actually bought an entire wave of Marvel Legends figures.\u00a0 While I still haven\u2019t plunked down the money, I\u2019m extremely tempted by the new Captain America Infinite Series.\u00a0 Starting a small army of Nazis is made pretty easy with Red Skull, Zemo, and their respective soldiers all in wave one, and adding them to the likes of Arnim Zola, Strucker, and MODOK would make for a fantastic looking shelf.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been able to hold off on that urge so far, but picking up the AIM soldier hasn\u2019t really helped.<\/p>\n

I love generic henchmen army builders, and the AIM Agent was right down my alley.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t matter if these guys are actually pretty smart and deal with some of the most advanced technology on the planet.\u00a0 Their real purpose is to look a bit silly standing around in groups and to get beaten up by all the good guys.\u00a0 Sounds like the perfect job for a guy in a bright yellow bee keepers uniform!<\/p>\n

\"aima2\"<\/p>\n

The AIM Agent\u2019s sculpt is pretty perfect.\u00a0 While I do love comics, I think Hasbro is doing a great job making figures with a more \u201creal world\u201d look to them.\u00a0 Instead of a muscled beefcake we get a dude with normal proportions in a hazmat-like suit, which is what you\u2019d expect from an army of scientists.<\/p>\n

\"aima3\"<\/p>\n

You hardcore Marvel Legends fans will have to tell me if this is a new buck or not.\u00a0 Some areas of the figure have that wrinkled suit look, which could easily be reassigned to another figure.\u00a0 But then there are parts like his torso, gloves, and boots that definitely give off a cowboy vibe.\u00a0 I realize western characters aren\u2019t exactly a hot property at the moment, but it\u2019d be cool to see some of Marvel\u2019s gunslingers get the toy treatment.\u00a0 At the very least, this removes the necessity for a lot of new tooling.\u00a0 Continue to page 2…<\/a><\/p>\n

The paint job on this figure is pretty basic, but that\u2019s all he really needs.\u00a0 Most of the figure has been molded in yellow and given a spray of darker shade of yellow to bring out the highlights and wrinkles in the sculpt.\u00a0 Such a bright color always looks good with back, which is what most of the accent pieces have been painted with.\u00a0 Aside from that there\u2019s silver on his visor and on the buttons for his gloves.<\/p>\n

The AIM Agent has excellent articulation.\u00a0 His head\u2019s on a ball joint.\u00a0 Shoulders, wrists, hips, and ankles are swivel\/hinges.\u00a0 He has swivels at the biceps, waist and thighs.\u00a0 His elbows and knees are double hinges, while his chest has a single hinge.<\/p>\n

\"aima5\"<\/p>\n

Aside from the bandolier he wears, the Agent comes with a pistol and rifle for accessories.\u00a0 Both weapons have a fun high-tech cobbled together feel.\u00a0 They\u2019re both done in a dark gold color with some blue and black accents.\u00a0 I thought it was a fun touch to put the AIM logo on the rifle and an \u201cA\u201d design on the pistol.\u00a0 Nothing worse than thieves who try to pass off other people\u2019s stuff as their own.<\/p>\n

Like with Baron Zemo, the AIM Agent also comes with Mandroid\u2019s right arm.\u00a0 Unfortunately I seem to have misplaced mine, so you\u2019ll have to wait for Noisy\u2019s Zemo review to see it.<\/p>\n

\"aima6\"<\/p>\n

All around this is a great figure. \u00a0He\u2019s great to pose and he fits in with most of the other six inch lines I have.\u00a0 You\u2019ll definitely be seeing this poor sap getting beaten up by my other figures in future reviews.\u00a0 My only regret is that I our Target only got in one, so I couldn\u2019t buy enough to make a small ineffective army.<\/p>\n
