Unboxing/Review Exclusive Toys "R" Us Hydra 2-pack

Hey everyone, it's Dog here for AIPT, and what have we got here

Is it real? Could I have really found one? Yes! Toys R.S. exclusive Marvel Legends Hydra 2-pack

You thought it wasn't possible. But here it is. It must have just been my lucky day

I didn't spend inflated eBay prices. I didn't jack a truck. I found it on a store shelf the old-fashioned way

And here it is the Hydra Soldier with all his armaments. It must be a..

It has to be an ode to taskmaster, isn't it, with the Udon helmet

And here's the other big bad bruiser, otherwise known as the Enforcer

$40 at your local Toys or Us. If you could find it, look, I'm not going to..

say much more. I know you want to see what's in here. It's one of those kind of videos

Just tear it open and look. Here we go. Okay, so here they are out of the package. You can see I've already switched the heads

around. There's the Udon mask on the soldier. And I decided to put this gas mask, looking

thing over on the enforcer. So as you can see, the heads are completely interchangeable

both of these two were on the soldier's side in the box, but you can mix them up however you want

and it's the same way with the weapons. I'm going to be honest, though, I had a hard time getting some of these weapons into the hands

The hands were very tight, like the hydra agents needed a massage or something

Their muscles are just very tense, and they didn't want to unclench

So I had to do a lot of prying of the fingers

I don't know how normal that is. I was actually a little afraid that I might have damaged things

but I finally got him in there, and I'll be honest, the soldier his hands are not so good Well he holding this now pretty well this rifle sort of thing But it is kind of loose you can see there some play there

And this canister there, with the very nice hydro detail on it, it will come loose

which is good and bad, I guess, at the same time. It's cool that it comes off, but it might pop loose when you're not expecting it

The enforcer does hold the bazooka type weapon very well. That fits nicely into his hand

And then of course there's the other heads. There's a lot of motion

I'm just going to put this one down for example. There is a lot of motion in the joints

The ankles move, turn, they go up and down. Very articulated. cool detail on knee pads even the knees move the shoulders here we dump his

bazooka real quick okay he's holding that very well make a wire out of me

boom the arms you can see there wrist elbow shoulder is shoulder is actually

a very close proximity facsimile to actual anatomy. It's a ball and socket

That's pretty cool. Sometimes hard to maneuver, though. Again, maybe they just need to be unstiffed a little

I worry little about overextending things. You see, they stand pretty okay

I can do that with one hand. It's a very strange way to hold a knife ineffective in battle

What are you going to do? But maybe the course. coolest thing that maybe you would expect from some higher end figures

but maybe not so much from Marvel Legends as you see this little here

I wonder if you can hear this. Here, I'll put him down again. Do you hit pop

The vest comes off It the magic mic of the Hydra Enforcers because he going to take this off right now I mean to pause it for the full effect

So here they are again. I actually think the additional vest that came with the package was not going to fit on the big enforcer here

So he's just going barrel-chested for maximum intimidation. And so I put the vest over on the soldier

who was wearing this little, uh, whoa, this little, um, sexy number at first

And you can see that comes off too. There's one strap that opens right there

Stand in back up. Striking a pose. There we go. Uh, as you can see, I changed the head because to get the little, uh, strappy number off

uh, you pretty much have to take his head off. Uh, it's a tight fit. And even then he has to do some contortions

But getting the new vest on was a little onerous as well

It was kind of like putting on your prom talks 20 years later. But it's on there and he's kind of letting it all hang out right now

Try the different guns in the hands. This one fit a little better

This one still has some kind of weird play. It doesn't really fit all that great

Definitely easier to get into the hands now that I've warmed them up a little bit

So that's encouraging. So yeah, as you can see, you can switch heads, switch outfits, switch guns

So as people say, if you buy a couple of these, there is a potential for army building

Just so you see how easy that comes out. A little too easily if you ask me

But, you know, I got to say, though, I am a little disappointed with some of the features

I would have liked, you know, I understand this is Marvel Legends. this isn't, you know, the higher-end stuff, like the Mesco I've done

I would have liked some more hands, just for different, you know, poses, different action scenes

But you know it was only for two figures and some cool weaponry and a few heads and some clothes So it still probably more than you usually get from Marvel Legends

So what can you say? Well, let's take a step back and see what I do say

The Hydra 2-pack exclusive from Toys R Us, I know a lot of us were anticipating it

Lucky enough to find one in the wild, as they say. You know what? This might be a cautionary tale because maybe you don't want to go out of your way for this immediately

It is cool. I like it. I'm glad I got it. But like I said, you know, there are some issues with the joints

They're going to need some softening up. And again, you know, the more I've, you know, dealt with it, move things around

They do loosen up. The hands on the soldier in particular. You can see the funky way he's holding his weapons there

They don't seem so good. Not right now. The enforcer on the other hand, he's got good mitts

He can catch anything you throw at him. So that's a little disappointing

And the vest, as you can see, I've kind of put them back to their factory presets, if you will, right now

Took the vest off the soldier, which was very, very difficult. So difficult, in fact, that in the process of doing so, I discovered that the belt comes off

The bill comes off because I accidentally knocked it off while I was trying to get the vest off him again

But again those things might get easier with time There's a lot of variability here. I might have wanted more

Maybe I'm expecting too much from a $40 package of two figures

So all in all kind of a mixed bag on the Hydra 2 pack. I like it

I'm not in love with it I might grow to like it more as time goes on

In fact, you know, this does not satisfy me. This is nice, but I think I'm going to need more henchmen to compare

We'll see how that goes. We'll see you next time. This is Dog for AIPT
