Overall, the Marvel Universe Quicksilver and Wonderman two pack is relatively plain. Neither figure has a unique sculpt, and there are not any accessories or unique features.
Wonderman is obviously a "built" character so using a bigger body makes sense. It is the same body used for Thunderbird, Warpath, or Drax.
It's not a bad body, so it works, but they keep those damn hands! The hands worked for Warpath because he had knives to hold, but for Wonderman, it makes little sense.
It looks terrible in my opinion, and greatly sets back the figure. How can Wonderman punch somebody without a fist?!
Quicksilver, being nimble and quick, re-uses a much smaller body. It is the basic "Marvel Universe" body.
I'm pretty sure it is the same body as the original Daredevil, Bullseye, Hydra soldier, etc. It works though, because Quicksilver really doesn't have any need for a unique sculpt.
Neither figures come with any accessories or equipment, but I personally can't think of anything these guys would need for accessories.
For any completionist, this two pack is a no brainer. Two exclusive figures that can't be bought anywhere else. Furthermore, anyone who is a fan of creating famous teams probably needs both of them.
This isn't the original roster by any means, but a few characters that appear in the issues that revolve around the West Coast Avengers fighting Magneto.
I'm also well aware the Jim Hammond Human Torch doesn't appear in those issues, but there are so few times he is useful, so I had to use him!
I can't wait to see Magneto fight Iron Man in Avengers vs X-Men. It better happen.
This turned more into a Secret Wars Magneto gallery than anything else...
Overall, I would recommend this pack to any West Coast Avengers fan, or and X-Men fan considering you get Quicksilver. Wonderman certainly wasn't high on my want list, but I'm not opposed to his figure. It is worth it if you can find it in retail, but not worth the scalpers prices on eBay.
Wonderman:
Articulation: Everything you have come to expect from Marvel Universe figures. Compare to Warpath or Drax the Destroyer.
Paint: The paint is decent. The eyes maybe painted a little "too" evil. My specific figure has a random tan smudge on the shoulder, but I'm sure it is just mine specifically.
Sculpt: It works for his character except the hands. He just looks like he is trying to hold something constantly.
Accessories: None, but that's okay.
Quicksilver:
Articulation: No hip swivel, but pretty much everything else.
Paint: Pretty much just white and blue, as his costume should be. The hair is a neat blend of white and grey.
Sculpt: Classic first series Marvel Universe sculpt.
Accessories: None, but again, that's okay.
