So... is he like a hedgehog then?
As someone that spent countless hours playing the Capcom VS series there was no way I wasn't building
Blackheart even if it took me a little while.
The first thing I'm going to mention is that assembling him was
painful, he has pointy spikes all over his body, so applying pressure to put everything in place, well, hurt my hands a bit! Moving on from that, the sculpt is
incredible even if he is no Holocaust! I was a bit disappointed he wasn't navy blue, like in the Capcom series, but this is accurate to the comic books so I
won't hold it against him. The paint is
minimal, he has a bit of a blue wash on his tendrils over on his head that look pretty cool, to the point I feel like they
should've applied it to the entire figure. He comes with an alternate of fists, but I don't remember where I stashed them!
Articulation is
excellent. Double jointed elbows and knees, swivels on his thighs and biceps, with a hinged waist, a ball jointed ab crunch as well as butterfly joints, with a
bendy tail. He is a bit top heavy, so the only way to
successfully pose him is to take advantage of the tail to act as another foothold. I was a bit disappointed that his feet can't pivot, which would've
helped a lot with his stability. He is quite a bit taller than Bucky Cap.
Blackheart came out great! He is a pretty great BAF, great,
unique sculpt nice size, nice articulation... yeah, it's a good one! And a Marvel VS Capcom figure we had been missing for a while!
