Review by Dragon

Last week, we reviewed Nitro and Spider-Man, who, while acting as major players in the storyline, served as filler for the two main players in Civil War, Captain America and Iron Man. So, this week, we’ll review the stars of Civil […]
Minimate Review: Nitro & Civil War Spider-Man
By Dragon
In the first half of our two-part review of the Civil War box set, we look at Nitro and Spider-Man.
Nitro
Nitro’s actions in Stamford sparked the start of the Civil War, so his inclusion here makes sense. From a design standpoint, Nitro is simply done. He sports his most common duds, decked out in red […]
Minimate Review - Nightwing & Starfire
Nightwing and Starfire from DC Wave 7
By Dragon
Nightwing
Formerly Robin, Dick Grayson would evolve over the years, outgrowing the title of the “Boy Wonder” and finding himself a hero in his own right as Nightwing. Here we have the more modern look of the character. Given that his costume is predominately black in the source material, […]
Minimate Review - Flash & Gorilla Grodd
Gorilla Grodd and Flash from DC Wave 7
Review by Dragon

Flash
The Flash is hyped as the “Fastest Man Alive”, though no fewer than four people have worn the name over the years. The one appearing in DC’s 7th wave is Wally West. The design for this character is well done. The chest detail is […]
Minimate Review - Batman & Clayface
Clayface and Batman from DC Wave 7
Review by Dragon

Batman
Batman has sported a variety of looks over the years, due partly from necessity, partly from artistic license, and partly from toy manufacturers trying to squeeze as much money out of a property as possible. One need only look at the C3 line to see […]
Minimate Review - Ambush Bug & Lobo
Lobo and Ambush Bug from DC Wave 7
By Dragon
Ambush Bug
Ambush Bug hails from a pool of characters that act as more of a punchline than a legitimate member of their prospective universes. As such, Ambush Bug sports a much more gleeful expression than the other characters to come before him in the DC Direct Minimate […]
Minimate Review - Enchantment Under the Sea
Marty and Lorraine from the Enchantment Under the Sea BTTF.com exclusive set.
By Dragon
“Enchantment Under the Sea” Marty McFly
Marty looks good decked out in his prom duds and acts as a near perfect mirror of his source material. The hair piece is new, which seems like an odd choice with the near limitless supply of alternate […]
Minimate Review - Iron Man & Black Panther
Iron Man and Black Panther, from the Previews exclusive set.
By Dragon
Zombie Iron Man
Iron Man sports a great deal of heavy shadowing, which suits the source material perfectly. As well, the armor suffers a great deal of scuffs and marks. The detail work is also well implemented, with the area around the wrists, the boots, and […]
Minimate Review: Back to the Future II (Part 1)

By Dragon

Marty McFly
