I really disliked Captain Marvel's appearance in Avengers: Endgame. The color blocking of her outfit had the red and blue swapped, much like the suit Mar-Vell wore in the comics. While I always liked this coloring on the male costume, I didn't look right on Carol. Then the hair. I really really dislike this haircut. It looks like they intended to create her cool shaved-side fauxhawk look, but wussed out and gave her a mom 'do. It also stayed way too styled and coifed during the battle (no helmet-hair at all). It actually made me laugh in the middle of that awesome battle scene, which was a shame. But then this toy was announced and I decided, what the hell? The face sculpt is significantly improved over the Captain Marvel Movie wave. And the hair looks way more natural in plastic than it did on screen (that's a first!). Plus the maskless look makes me appreciate the color-blocking of the suit more than I expected. Overall it's a surprisingly great addition to my MCU collection. Let's check out Carol below!
Carol comes with two extra sets of hands (making 6 total), and the Infinity Gauntlet (which she can wear when her right hand is removed).
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Captain Marvel with her pack-mate, Rescue.
And here she is with the 2019 Captain Marvel movie version.
Cheers!
Cool figure. I always liked her exchange with Peter Parker when she shows up.
