1643. Hydra Soldier


Emulating the mythological serpent of the same name, every severed Hydra head produces two more to take its place! Quite possibly, the most dangerous army of organized criminals ever assembled, this merciless troop of villains will stop at nothing to achieve global domination. With secret ties to government and industry, they have amassed an unthinkable arsenal of weapons in order to crush S.H.I.E.L.D. and bring the world to its knees.

Appearance
This figure looks like a generic Hydra soldier, which is to be expected. There are a few nice little details in the sculpt that are nice. There are buckles and straps on the boots, pouches and bullets on the belt, an “H” on the back of his head, an even a Hydra emblem on the rifle. However, the lack of details in the large fields of dark green is what makes the figure look dull in color and texture. The bright yellow adds color, but the paint edges are not always distinct. This adds to the plastic feel of the figure.
The Hydra soldier is a little large compared to other Marvel Legends figures. Everything is proportional, but he is taller, wider, and his head is bigger. It is noticeable enough that it looks slightly odd when two Hydra soldiers are standing at the side of figures like Baron Von Strucker. With most of the heroes being at least 6’, it is odd for henchmen to be bigger and taller.
