From Marvel Legends comes the infamous, unstoppable Squirrel Girl. She's most famous for beating Doctor Doom with her army of squirrels. She's also defeated Thanos, Wolverine, Deadpool, Ego the Planet and several others. She was recently released in a new set.
The set comes with Squirrel Girl, 3 different squirrels (one regular, one with pink bow and one eating a nut), a blue motor scooter with basket, and a little horn that can be placed on the scooter. The squirrels are all solid pieces, and the horn, though cute, fits a bit loose on the bike handle. As for Squirrel Girl, she looks very cool with her pixie haircut, animal ears, grey jacket, boots and big, puffy squirrel tail.
As for articulation, her head is on a ball joint with neck hinge so she can look side to side, tilt side to side, up a bit and down quite far. Her knees are double jointed, and while her elbows are not, they still have a good range, as well as swivel. The wrists and ankles are swiveled, and the thighs can kick out far. The upper torso can turn side to side but doesn't have a lot of ab crunch. All the joints work well to give her good posability. The only real issue is that her fluffy tail is a harder plastic and does not articulate. Had they made it flatter or given it a joint so that it can be posed downward it would help to give her more posability options. Since its big, it can weigh her down, making it challenging to stand on her own, though it can be done by working the legs, knees and ankle joints. She can sit well on her own.
As far as the scooter, it takes a bit of work to get her to sit on it properly, with her hands holding the handle bars. There are 2 pegs on each side where you can plug her feet into via holes under her soles, but the don't hold too well. It might have helped if she came with an extra pair of grasping hands so they could fit more securely on the bars. However, the wrist swivels help by posing them downwards.
It would've been nice if she came with some alternate heads, such as a frowning expression or surprised. Still, it's a fun, cute set, and now my Doctor Doom has his ultimate arch nemesis. The scooter is also really cool, many of my action figures can fit on it and ride in style. The wheels actually move, and the break pad can be moved downward to allow the bike to sit more securely.
Marvel Legends Squirrel Girl scooter set is a cool addition to my collection of heroes, villains, kaiju and Ultramen. She's a unique character from the Marvel comics and she looks great. If you're a fan of the unbeatable Squirrel Girl, you may want to pick her up.
