Some very nice sculpts, and solid
stats for the points, it's just that following other
Avengers themed sets, and Avengers: Age of Ultron
the previous year, Avengers were getting a bit tiresome.
Personally I enjoyed the figures
at the time but have used very few of them since.
Favourite figures from the set were Venom and Taskmaster
and the prize figures Spider-Man and Namor.
It was also great to see She-Hulk
and Speedfreek in the set. Other fun characters
include Punisher and Jester.

Avengers: Age of Ultron
(2015)
Quality of sculpts 3
Characters 2
Playability 3
Overall 3I was Avengers'd-out
on Heroclix before this set came out, and the film
wasn't that great either. Aside from the multitude
of Ultron Drones characters selection wasn't great, but
there were a couple of fun pieces like M.O.D.A.M.
Jocaster is a great Entity for Robots, but the
Super-Rare Ultons were over-powered.
My biggest use of this set now is
using the 30pt Ultron Drone as a Vehicle pilot. |
