Marvel Super Hero Squad Review: X-Men Showdown with Magneto
The first Super Hero Squad 4-pack that I reviewed was just four random repaints thrown together in a box set that was less than exciting. But upon opening the second pack, it’s immediately apparent what’s going on since all four of these figures are brand new sculpts.
The most powerful enemy the X-Men have ever faced is back, and determined to destroy them once and for all! Magneto, the Master of Magnetism can bend the basic forces of the universe to his will, and it will take all of the fighting skills and teamwork of the uncanny band of mutant Super Heroes to defeat him!
Custom: Super Hero Squad Astonishing Emma Frost
Sometimes I wonder about the minds behind Hasbro’s Superhero Squad. It’s a toyline that appeals to children and adult collectors but occasionally there are figures released that boggle the mind. One of them was Emma Frost. Considered the hottest comic book characters ever, Emma doesn’t exactly lend herself to a kid-friendly look. After all, her most iconic look involves a corset, thigh-high boots and underwear. That’s it.
So when Emma was released, the version of her didn’t quite capture the look. They went with her classic appearance instead of her more recent Astonishing one. But for a few years it was fine, since one White Queen is better than none. But recently with the Combat Heroes: the Rise of Cobra, the perfect head for Emma was released… as Cover Girl.
