Playskool has been such a disappointing company since Marvel Super Hero Squad era fizzled out a decade ago. They've managed to release only a handful of female characters since then. Their Star Wars line has the most with two Reys, Phasma, Rose, and Enfys Nest.. yes, only five. The Marvel line has two different Black Widow sculpts and a Spider-Gwen. The fact that Gamora, Hela, Scarlet Witch, or Captain Marvel haven't been included yet are sinful (I didn't list Wasp because I still have hopes they'll released the cancelled figure). But in the past two weeks I've found two surprise female additions to the oversized Mega Mighties line. These figures are 10" tall with 6 points of articulation at $9.99 price point. I must admit I wasn't always sold on these figures, but these ladies are kind of winning over (only kind of). They're still big and weird to me, but I still found myself excitedly googling to see if there was a Spider-Gwen coming (I don't think there is). It's going to be a slippery slope. Let's check out Carol below!
Captain Marvel figure has a ball-jointed head, hinge-and-swivel shoulder, swivel gloves, and a swivel waist.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Captain Marvel with the other female Mega Mighties (so far), Pink Ranger.
And with an assortment of other Carol Danvers figures: Titan Hero Series, Mega Mighties, Marvel Legends, and Marvel Universe.
Cheers!
Nice looking figure. The colors and head work with what they are going for in this line.
