Marvel Crisis Protocol: Captain Marvel

Part of the joy of the “Paint What You Got” challenge has been forcing myself to dive in to the backlog and get the previously neglected miniatures from my collection painted up.

Captain Marvel is a great character, and I really like the sculpts in the “Earth’s Mightiest Boxset” collection. You get two versions of Carol, one in her normal togs, and another when she goes full Binary mode.

The transformation mechanic in Marvel Crisis Protocol is pretty neat, allowing you to change out your model for a different mode of that character if it fits the spirit of their powers. So, Ant-Man has a smaller version, Carol can go Binary, you name it!

The standard Captain Marvel figure is nice and dynamic, Carol is a bit of a brawler so this works for me.

The Binary form, though, takes the cake. This is premium Feral Carol, looking like she’s getting ready to punch Rogue into the stratosphere.

If you know, you know…

MCP: Captain America (Earth’s Mightiest Box Set Edition)

This was the first mini I popped out of the Earth’s Mightiest Box Set from Marvel Crisis Protocol, and I managed to get him painted up in less than 24 hours, so I’ll be crossing off another box on my hobby bingo card today…

I really, unabashedly love what Captain America stands for, even if that sometimes doesn’t pair up with what the country is actually doing at the moment. I’m trying to look past the nationalism and at the actual symbolism of what the character can stand for: Our better angels, doing what is right for everyone. Protecting everyone, not just the people that like you. Not being distracted or divided. That’s kinda cool, even if I don’t see that much of anywhere anymore.

The sculpt on the figure is really good, probably the second best Cap model in the line. Definitely the best Steve Rogers Cap. I’ll be posting the best Cap sculpt when a certain movie comes out next month!

Let’s take a look at that bingo card!
