Hydra Soldiers

Hydra Soldiers

Hasbro Marvel Legends

Toys 'R' Us Exclusive

Another TRU exclusive gone by...a Hydra soldier 2-pack!  One is a repack of the older Mandroid Build-a-Figure wave Soldier, the other is a weird repaint of Captain Britain/Nuke?  Strange.  He's an enforcer...whatever...the paint scheme works.  And since army builder fans ate up the soldier on his initial run, this gave me another shot at him. 

 

 

All of the additional heads/accessories are repacks from other figures.  Nothing is new except the paint.  That's not necessarily a bad thing, as they give us plenty of options:  weapons,  clothing, heads.  The repainted Taskmaster head doesn't work for me, so I will be sticking with the standard look.

Same with the enforcer.  The Captain Britain head it is.  The unmasked heads will work for random thug customs here and there in my collection. 

 The Nuke head would make a pretty decent Eddie Brock if you repainted the scar/eye.

I had a couple of Hasbro's earlier attempts at a Hydra soldier way back from the Brood Queen wave.  The figure was oversized, the paint was bland, and the plastic felt cheap.  Oh well...an army builder is an army builder.  They can hang out in the back and still be decent punching bags for the heroes.

 

With Baron Von Strucker and Madame Hydra at the helm, I've got a nice little team going.  For display purposes I can throw in the cool base that came with the Marvel Select Spider-woman.  These poor inaction figures...I would have gladly paid a few dollars more for some legs.
