“Oh no! You’re not going anywhere, handsome!”<\/em><\/strong> – Beetle. <\/p>\nThis is a Beetle non-Review. I owned the Beetle for a couple days, purchased to assemble the Absorbing Man, and then sent her on her merry way to another collector that, in theory, would appreciate her better.
\nI\u2019m not sure why I didn\u2019t really have an interest in her. The figure was good and matched up with the comic look particularly well. The newly sculpted lower torso and head were well done \u2013 though that lower torso has me thinking more about a classic Wasp than keeping Beetle. She had a little trouble standing with the weight of the wings, but it could be done. I didn\u2019t like the splayed out hands on either her or the recent Wasp release though. The paint was good. Overall, she was a fine figure. <\/p>\n
It could just be that I don\u2019t really feel a connection to the character. I like her look and that she was a Cap\/Bucky villain. And that her Dad is Tombstone (where’s that figure!) But I don’t feel much of a conncetion to any Beetle really, at least the Non-Blue ones. My favorite Beetle figure was probably the massive Buzzing Beetle that appeared in the Spider-Man Classics line. I never saw it in the comics, but it was a fun figure. Yeah, so my lack of knowledge or affection for any Beetle is probably just at play here. Hasbro totally should make a classic one after making so many later versions, but I don\u2019t know if I\u2019d really want that either. Maybe he\u2019s just not the purple & green Spidey villain I really want Hasbro to make\u2026 <\/p>\n
