I was really disappointed. He initially looks good but the lack of articulation, poor paintwork and the fact that he can barely stand frustrated me. The $10 price point is just salt in the wound.

I agree RE: the articulation, but I have one and I will get another one, just because i want 2 squads of Hydra Troopers with One heavy Weapons Trooper on each team.

The bigger Armored guys don't have to be super-articulated, but these Captain America hip joints suck it!!

No ankle articulation? Really Hasbro? Are you taking your cues from the GL movie line and going backwards?

Some people may like them. I just found the photographing experience left me quite disillusioned, given that it was nigh-on impossible to get him to stand without a base (and he doesn't include one) and even with one, he's still too top-heavy.

I don't mind the Red Skull having less articulation, as he can at least stand pretty well. I just found it very difficult to get the Hydra Soldier to do anything but fall over...

The arm articulation isn't bad but there's no waist or ankle joints. They're not really much of a step-up from the 1970s Star Wars figures...
