Gear up! Next stop the Quantum Realm!
From the Endgame trailers it looks like the Avengers are headed for the Quantum Realm and are wearing matching suits. These figures are based on that. I'm sure you've noticed that there's one glaring inaccuracy, and that's the colour of the suit. They are supposed to be white. The figures' suits are silver. Despite that they still look good. There's a good amount of detail. I like the sculpted Avengers logo and the textured black areas. The swirly appearance of the silver plastic gives the suits a bit of a worn look. There's a visible gap on the back of the female body at the torso joint. Thankfully it's not too obvious and appears like it's part of the suit. The best thing about the female figure is that it has double jointed elbows! We don't often get that and it's great to see! They work really well too.
The suited body may be any character you want, that is if the character has a compatible head. For the the two-pack we get Hawkeye and Black Widow. Black Widow looks great. She has a great head sculpt. There's a good likeness. The eyes and lips were well done. I especially like the hair which has nice detail. You'll notice that the end of her ponytail is whitish. It's supposed to be like that. Well not whitish but blonde like in the trailer. It's a little distracting but I'm going to leave it.
Captain America and Hawkeye share the same body. I've nothing further to add about the suit to what's already been said. I just wished they gave us an unmasked head for Cap.
A look at Hawkeye first. I'm not really liking the look. The sculpt has a decent likeness but for me there's something off. It might be his stoned expression which is throwing things off. The five o'clock shadow is nice and I like the detail of his hair.
Captain America is wearing a full helmet similar to the one he wore in the first Avengers movie. By full helmet I mean that his ears are covered. It's a different head sculpt from the previous figure. There's a bit more detail on the sides with this one and there's also a chin strap.
Forgot to mention that there's some sort of monitoring device on the back of their hands. The shape kinda looks like an hourglass.
Accessories
Captain America comes with his shield. It's similar to the ones we've seen before.
Hawkeye comes with his bow. Black Widow comes with her batons which are the same as the ones from the Cull Obsidian series. Also included in the two-pack are the heads of Ant-Man, Iron-Man and Nebula, and Nebula's gun. The Ant-Man and Iron-Man heads are similar to what we've seen before.
Nebula's head is new and different from the one we got previously. This head is bigger and has a metallic orange section. I watched the trailers again and she does not have that orange section... I'm also not too happy with some of the matte colours. I prefer the metallic look for her.
I did some head swaps. Black Widow looks good on the Infinity War body. Nebula's head is a little too big for the previous figure.
Articulation
The male body has a ball hinge neck, ball hinge shoulders, bicep swivel, double jointed elbows, swivel hinge wrists, ab crunch, waist rotation, ball hips, thigh swivel, double jointed knees and ankle hinge and pivot.
The female body has a ball hinge neck, ball hinge shoulders, bicep swivel, double jointed elbows, swivel hinge wrists, ball joint torso, ball hips, thigh swivel, double jointed knees and ankle hinge and pivot. How usable the neck articulation is depends on what head you put on. In Black Widow's case she can look and down just fine. The ball joint torso has a good range of motion.
Comparison shots.
Great figures! These are troop builders I didn't know I wanted. It was fun swapping on various heads and having them join the Avengers. You can even use them for comic based figures. I definitely want more but I'll wait for a sale first. Thanks for viewing!

Ant Man with the PEZ, and the head swap pics are especially freaking excellent. 😄
