Action Figures I Don't Like: Luis

 To celebrate 10 years of the Marvel Universe, Hasbro did a bunch of two-packs of Marvel Legends figures that related to different movies and TV shows.  I didn't buy any at first since they retailed for like $30-$50, but eventually some of them were marked down on Amazon so you were essentially getting two figures for the price of one--if not less than one.  

The thing about these two-packs is that one figure seems to have a bunch of accessories and maybe an extra head and the other one comes with almost nothing.  Like the Captain America: The First Avenger one the Captain America figure has two shields, two guns, a helmet, and an extra head while the Peggy Carter figure has...a gun.  Or the Luke Cage pack has Nurse Claire Temple who has two different sets of hands and Luke Cage has...nothing.

A two-pack for Ant-Man and the Wasp featured the villain Ghost and Ant-Man's buddy Luis.  It was a little more even than the other two packs as the Ghost figure has her masked head (with a separate hood) and a normal human head while Luis has...a miniature version of Hank Pym's building and an oversized red ant.  Neither of those things are really that connected to him personally.  And of course Luis doesn't have any powers or anything.  He's just a guy in a suit.  He doesn't even have a gun!



So while he's a good likeness of Michael Pena and the articulation isn't bad, he doesn't really do anything.  Actually on the shelf he looks like he's guarding the rest of my collection.  It's pretty lame.  Definitely the kind of figure I would never buy on his own unless he was only like $5--maybe not even then.

He could be the manager of all your other action figures since he looks so business like.
