Hulk Super Hero Squad Review: The Brawl that Shook the World
The Hulk Super Hero Squad clearly took its game plan from Spider-Man’s line. A bunch of two-packs along with one giant pack that’s all repaints – I feel like I’ve heard all of this before.
Just when the Hulkbusters have the Incredible Hulk cornered in New York City, the Abomination comes smashing through, destroying everything in his path! Though the Hulkbusters are protected in their powerful Sonic Tank, only the Hulk has the power to stop the Abomination and save the city!
Marvel Super Hero Squad Review: Ghostrider & Flame Cycle
The seventh wave of the Super Hero Squad seemed to have one goal in mind: fix the flawed figures from the first two waves. Daredevil leveled up to a much better form and Wolverine got a worthy update of his classic costume. But one figure was really disappointing in wave 2: Ghost Rider.
Super Hero Squad Review: Quinjet with Iron Fist & Spider-Man
Vehicles are probably one of the most polarizing aspects of the collecting community. Some people just want figures, while others demand that all vehicles should be comic accurate. Sure, many of the Super Hero Squad vehicles left me scratching my head but I know that to kids any vehicle has play value. But I think Hasbro finally found the sweet spot of vehicles by making ones that are jammed packed for fun and comic inspired.
Action League Review: Batman with Batcopter
It’s amazing that for a guy who dresses up like a bat and has more money than Tony Stark, Bruce Wayne can design anything but only under a single condition: it must have the word bat in the name. I mean, who else can build a submarine or a motorcycle from scratch?
Batman is Gotham City’s crime fighting eye-in-the-sky piloting his high-tech Batcopter!
Marvel Super Hero Squad Review: S.H.I.E.L.D. Hover Car with Iron Man & Nick Fury
The vehicles in the Super Hero Squad always felt a tad out of place. Aside from Ghost Rider’s motorcycle, most of them fell somewhere along the spectrum of “kind of dumb” and “really dumb.” Sure, one set in particular transcended and went from so dumb that it’s kind of awesome. But what really needed to happen was Hasbro had to start treating the vehicles like an extension of the line – like the mega figures – and not some throwaway toy.
