So, probably the main reason I have this dude is because of the "Oh-so-hard-to-find!" Avenger Black Widow ML. As we all now, This Series has the S.H.I.E.L.D Mandroid BAF - don't know if this Mandroid's gonna be pricey
like the other BAFs such as the Sentinel and Fin Fang Foom because if you ask me it's very similar to the previous Iron Monger BAF regardless of the fact that it's torso is harder to acquire. We'll if ever I had the chance to complete it, I'll create a separate post especially made for the Mandroid.
Our package contains Captain America in his Captain America NOW look - taken from a comic book released way back in 2012 if my research is accurate. Thus, so far we could at least say
it's a new Captain America. Package includes his shield - not the strap like shield as before - but a snap-on a peg type shield with an amazing internal look and Mandroid's Head.
Capt's details in these one is ridiculously great - yes, "great". Putting aside the fact that it is a New look we could say it was atleast 90% accurate - except for some little paint chips around the waist
and a little around the head. Sculpt wasn't bad either and the shield looks great.
Articulation is good but there is a little bit of problem around the waist and the abs - a little fix would do. It limits posing and is vulnerable from cracks . And one more, there is something I really don't like about it -
unlike the WWII ML IS Captain America that has a gun this one has nothing but his Shield. So Basically, as we can see his right hand clenched and an open one in the left - so what is it for? Might have been
better if they had designed it just like the other ML's with interchangeable hands or rather I think I prefer it with both clenched fist. Then again, it's not totally useless since you can pose it as if he was holding the
shield on his left.
Now, the biggest question here is "is it worth getting?" If you are planning to build Mandroid - Yes, because he's the only one who has Mandroid's Head. If your reason is not about the BAF - Yes, because he is one of the coolest Captain America around.
