I stumbled upon these insanely cute Disney Infinity Marvel Action Figures on Kotaku and simply had to share it with you. Keep in mind these figures are not available in India right now.
Amongst the many things people like about Disney Infinity has got to be those cute little adorable figurines. Carefully sculpted and painted to reflect the characters personality, these aren’t just toys but stand for something much larger. But sadly the first batch of figures for Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes wasn’t really up to the mark.
Like what’s up with Captain America? The paint job is uneven and rough resulting in his face looking a bit pockmarked and the “A” on his head looks not so classy for some reason, can’t seem to put a finger down on it. And I’m not even going to start about those eyes of his.
After seeing Capt’s eyes we’re glad that Hawkeye is wearing shades, but notice the paint job on his left hand. Like I said not up to the mark.
Besides Nova’s super awesome helmet, another feature that distinguishes him is the three solid yellow circles on his chest. You had one job figure painter, one job!
Other than the fact that that the grey dot on Hulk’s chest looks like a mole more than it does a nipple, I can’t help but think that Hulk took one in the nuts before posing for that picture.
Most of the faults mentioned aren’t so much of a big deal, I mean you probably won’t even notice these flaws from a couple of feet away. But it was the original set of Disney Infinity Figures that have created these expectations. And it’s not just kids getting this stuff but also grown ass people! And they were collectors who looked for near perfect items. These ones have basic issues with the paint, gouges in the plastic and exposed glue.
However there are a few other figures that manage to make it—take Black Widow for example, those big blue eyes, perfect eyebrows and carefully applied eyeliner—now that’s something that required skill and care.
Iron Fist’s crest is spot on. He’s probably one of the better made ones in the group.
The Guardians too all look in pretty good shape like the movie (if you haven’t seen it, go now! There are a few theatres still playing it…Saket I think).
There might be a chance that these are just a crappy lot of figures but just be a bit careful when you go out to get your Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes and make sure these collectibles are worthy of the name.
