Loki





The first batch of figurines from the Marvel Movie Collection not only include five of the biggest characters from the Marvel movie Universe, but they also represent a statement of intent for Eaglemoss. And that intent is to provide maximum quality for the fans at an affordable price.


Try standing Thor next to Loki for full effect. The fifth figurine is also the first villain, and here, we get Loki in full villainous get-up. Gripping his mighty scythe, and leering down with an evil grimace on his face, Eaglemoss have certainly done justice to Loki. It's not just about capturing the likeness with these figurines, it's about capturing the essence of the characters. This is never more readily apparent than here. 

Once more, the design and the colours of the outfit are stunning, and he looks even more dastardly with the horned helmet upon his head. The detail on Loki's armour is incredible, and will certainly survive the scrutiny of the die-hard fans.



A purchase worthy of the God of Evil himself.


Thor




Thor is probably the best of the figurines to date. Maybe it's the red cape, gorgeously sculpted to look as realistic as possible. Or maybe it's the pose of Thor himself, standing reading for action with his ever-reliable hammer clutched in his right hand. It's an iconic stance, made all the more vibrant by the detail on his battle gear. Again, the actor Chris Hemsworth's face is excellently captured and instantly recognisable. All in all, an imposing addition to the Marvel collection.


Judging by the sheer quality of these releases, I cannot wait to see where Eaglemoss go next with this figurines. Oozing personality as much as attention-to-detail, these are an absolute must for any Marvel fan's collection. 

What are you waiting for?

CAPTAIN AMERICA





Captain America is of course a fan-favourite, and much like with Tony Stark, here with have the Captain sans mask so that Chris Evans' recognisable features are on show. With a more simplistic costume than Iron Man, the focus of Captain America's figurine lies more in the vibrancy of the colours. His famous shield simply sings with that classic design. The detail of the Captain's face is also a success, with his nobility in the face of evil shining through, as do his sky-blue eyes.


Character, personality, and likeness all captured perfectly.

This figurine definitely a 'MARVEL TO BEHOLD' and does true justice to

The Star Spangled Man With A Plan...





BLACK WIDOW




Black Widow is the second release, in a striking pose from the second Captain America film. Beautifully crafted, from the flowing red hair to the slender shape of her figure, this is a particularly impressive model. The level of detail that has gone into her costume alone is worthy of praise. Nothing has been overlooked, whether it be the gunstraps on her thighs or the individual compartments of her utility belt.


Judging by the sheer quality of these releases, I cannot wait to see where Eaglemoss go next with this figurines. Oozing personality as much as attention-to-detail, these are an absolute must for any Marvel fan's collection.

Iron Man






The first batch of figurines from the Marvel Movie Collection not only include five of the biggest characters from the Marvel movie Universe, but they also represent a statement of intent for Eaglemoss. And that intent is to provide quality for the fans at an affordable price.


Starting off with Iron Man, we get Tony Stark in action-pose mode, clutching his famous mask in his hands rather than wearing it. The colouring of the Iron Man costume is brilliant, with the bronzed look of the movies spot on. Every panel, every facet, is movie-perfect.


The likeness to Downey Jr. is absolutely spot-on, and it was a brave move on the part of Eaglemoss to actually attempt a sculpt of one of the most famous faces in superhero movies, as opposed to just sticking the mask on his head. 

A bold and successful start to the series!


The pose is synonymous with Iron Man "guard down but don't test me"
and captured perfectly.  With the gold and hotrod red.
