[Dr Kain]

My thoughts on the AoA crew:

Iceman - I like the plastic they used for this guy. It's the first translucent figure of Iceman they have done that hasn't felt rubbery and cheap. The joints are all tight and I really like the color even though I'm pretty sure he was not that dark in the comic. In fact, I remember Iceman just being some sort of blobby thing in most panels. The Carnage hands are also a bit weird, but overall, he's cool.

Legion - A great use of Shang-Chi's legs and I think the upper torso used for Sandman and Hydroman. The hair is amazing even though I always think of Static X whenever I see him. I do wish his face was more freakish though. He just looks midly agitated instead of crazed like he is supposed to be. Actually, now thinking about it, it's not the Sandman body because it has the new barbell neck joint and I can't seem to get his head off of it at all.

Rogue - The head seems to sit on the neck a little too high, but other than that, she's great. She has pinless legs, which is pretty awesome and the green coloring works. I'm not a fan of the full yellow body, however, that's the way she was in the comic. Paint apps are great too.

Magneto - I'm a tad disappointed with this one. His helmeted head seems to be a bit too tiny, the hair scratches the purple around his cape, the forgot to paint his waist area below his belt purple, and his cape is quite hard. The cape is actually the biggest annoyance for me as I can deal with the rest of the issues. I just don't know why they chose to make it so freaking hard when the other caps have been more of a soft rubbery material. His little energy accessories seem rather pointless. I'm not sure why they chose to package those with him.
