Bandai S.H.Figuarts Captain America: Civil War Ant-Man Reviewed

This should be a short review.
Get it? I’ll wait.

Short... review…

Comedic gold. Send that home to your parents, compliments of the ol’ Darianster.
Today we’re taking a look at the brand spanking new S.H.Figuarts Ant-Man. This isn’t my first Figuarts figure. I’m pretty much a sucker for any super hero/Star Wars license they release. The figure is a 1:12 replication of Scott Lang in his second Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) uniform. As expected, it’s a great figure. How great is it?

SDCC 2015: Hasbro's Comic-Con Exclusives Will Make Your Wallet Cry

San Diego Comic-Con is DAYS AWAY now. DAYS!! Holy crap. We have so much to post still. Hasbro steps up with a powerful selection of SDCC Exclusives insane enough to make you wana smack yo momma...not to mention give your credit cards a whipping that dirty little piece of plastic deserves. Sorry...I went too far. I know this now. Let's explore the psychotic Hasbro Exclusives lineup, packed with tiny little Ant-Men, a Marvel Legends set that is a MUST HAVE and a Devastator that will bring tears to the eyes of anyone WITH A SOUL. 

Let's Rip Apart the Ant-Man Trailer!

By now, you should be aware Disney is taking a fairly odd approach to selling us on an Ant-Man movie...a film that is probably more risky than they thought Guardians of the Galaxy was. I mean...his name is Ant-Man after all. He doesn't exactly inspire a theme song. Even the newly released trailer points a finger at that fact. It is this particular quality that I'd like to talk about today. While I'm sure Disney wants all their films to succeed, didn't you get the feeling they have no idea who to sell a movie named "Ant-Man" to?

Flash back to the day when "test footage" of an Ant-Man movie was released to the public in glowing HD. We saw the suit and the powers and a little adventure and overall, we were left with a sense that this character could actually be badass when we get to see someone capable of using this power set to its maximum potential, coupled with a genius brain if that was Hank Pym inside the helmet. 

Michael Douglas is Ant-Man

Now some of you are confused that an older gentleman would be cast in the starring roll of a major Marvel Studios film (not that there are minor ones). First, let's get the announcement out of the way and then if they haven't addressed it, we will.

The two-time Academy Award-winning actor will join director Edgar Wright and Paul Rudd in Marvel's "Ant-Man," hitting theaters July 31, 2015.
