Marvel Legends Avengers Maria Hill - Cobie Smulders - Action Figure Review

Maria Hill

Welcome to a review of the Marvel Legends Avengers Maria Hill - Cobie Smulders - action figure.

If you follow the current Marvel Universe, then you know that Maria Hill has disappeared resulting in Hydra Cap being promoted to the head of SHIELD.

But we don't like Hydra Cap so we don't care.

We also don't like the fact that Maria Hill - hell the entire reconstituted SHIELD - was missing from Captain America Civil War.

Anyway, this is the Maria Hill from the Marvel Legends Infinite Series Agents of Shield 3-pack which includes her, Agent Coulson, Nick Fury & Maria Hill.

She didn't come with any weapons so we gave her.... we're really not sure what she's armed with. We think it's from HALO.

MORE AFTER THE JUMP

To the uninitiated, SHIELD Commander Maria Hill's wiki states that "Maria Hill was born on April 4, 1982. Upon reaching to her adulthood, Hill first joined to the United States Armed Forces and later joined S.H.I.E.L.D. and rose through its ranks, at one point working in Madripoor and becoming one of the organization's best agents. By 2012, Hill had already caught the eye of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s director Nick Fury and had been appointed Deputy Director, working closely with Fury."

Cobie Smulders in the house!

What's to like about the Marvel Legends Avengers Maria Hill - Cobie Smulders - Action Figure?

FIRST: We love her facial sculpt..Okay she looks nothing like the beautiful Cobie Smulders, but her face is just sooo cock-sure you can't help but love it!

Maria Hill is a fine departure from the series of rather deadpan Marvel Legends figures that we've been getting over the past few years - a list that includes the Black Widow and Captain America -  among others.

Here are a few close ups of Commander Maria Hill with her arched brow and smug smirk.

SECOND: The Marvel Legends Avengers Maria Hill action figure re-purposes the body of Sharon Carter so she comes with excellent articulation.

Add a stand:

And you already know she can kneel - despite the holsters:

What's NOT to like about the Marvel Legends Avengers Maria Hill - Cobie Smulders - Action Figure?

FIRST: The fact that we had to give her a gun because, just like the Marvel Legends Black Widow and Sharon Carter, those pistols don't come out of their holsters.

SECOND:   She doesn't look like Cobie Smulders. Which is a really, really big let-down :(

THIRD: Her left hand is a closed fist - which makes it kinda useless and awkward looking. Sad because if it were open she could grip her pistol with both hands or be given a second pistol - she does have two holsters after-all.

FOURTH: There's a certain dullness to her uniform paint scheme. If it's cloth, leather or latex, it's well worn and beaten. She needs a new uniform.


The Marvel Avengers Marvel Legends Infinite Series Agents of SHIELD 3-Pack that contains Agent Coulson, Director Nick Fury & Commander Maria Hill is available on Amazon for US$ 35.00 (Roughly PhP 1,750 plus shipping).

Well worth it for three figures.
