Diamond Select Toys latest edition to the Marvel Select line is Ant-Man, a figure released exclusively to MarvelShop and DisneyShop. Additional options to purchase are available at the links provided below.
Based on Marvel’s upcoming Ant-Man live-action film, and features the likeness of Actor Paul Rudd.
Availability: July 2015
Sculpt & Paint:
Ant-Man stands at just under 7 1/4″ tall and features a thin sculpt in a movie accurate Ant suit, a shrink belt with tech gear, sculpted think lines, gauntlets, red painted grooves on his legs, and a detailed helmet with wires that connect to ports on the back of his helmet. There are two versions of this figure, this exclusive figure, and the general release through Diamond Comics. This version includes the exclusive unmasked head. Diamond Select Toys informs us that there probably aren’t any differences in paint applications between the two figures. The unmasked head has a great likeness to Actor Paul Rudd and both heads and hands connect by a ball joint.
The figure is highly detailed with deco included a black suit, red, and silver.
Accessories:
Included are 3x interchangeable hands (fisted, open, grip), a miniature unarticulated version of himself, and a unmasked head.
Articulation:
Ball jointed head, ball jointed shoulders, ball-hinged elbows, ball jointed wrists, ball jointed chest, swivel waist, hinged hips, swivel thighs, double-hinged knees, hinged-swivel ankles.
The miniature figure has no articulation.
Overall:
Ant-Man is a great figure and especially like the deco and movie likeness. While this version includes more accessories, perhaps more of a difference in costume would have been needed such as battle damaged, ants crawling on him, or something along those lines.
Highly Recommended.
