If you don't know what minimates are, they are essentially lego men with more articulation and based off of other fictional characters usually.

So in this set of Marvel Minimates comes maskless spiderman, doc ock, captain america, and asorbing man.

First up, Maskless Spider-Man. Really with all the spidermen minimates available why this one? This could have been just an optional head with another spiderman instead of a whole new figure. Anyway, the included webbing backpack makes it worth it to have. That and for extra parts if you like customizing. Also the hair piece comes off easily.

Asorbing Man. Don't know much about the villian but I'm assuming he can asorb materials around him and change into them some how. The half and half effect is pulled off nicely here. The detailing on the rocky side is great all around. The included ball and chain accessory is great. But it is so heavy that Asorbaing man can't really weild it like you'd want him too. Still a cool minimate.

Doc Ock: This one is almost flawless. The arms plug into his back but don't have much articulation there (just up and down movement) which is the figure's only fault. His hair piece comes off with his glasses attached to reveal his eyes and bald head. Also you can take off his fat (you read that right) and put it on another minimate. I'm impressed with how much Art Asylum puts into making sure these figures stay compatiable with one another. All of the detailing is dead on accurate.

Captain America: Beautiful figure. His mask comes off to reveal the hero. He comes with the shield and a wrist band to hold the shield as well. And because the very cool gloved hands can't fit on his arms with the shield on, Art asylum included an extra glove less red hand to put on instead. Smart move. This is a stellar minimate. A definite must have.

This is just a great set to pick up and purchase. The only weak figure is maskless spiderman. Other than him the rest are terrific to play around with.
