The gun-holster and belt continue on to the back of the torso with a surprisingly complex design for the back of a character which features the holster in a large cross with central silver buckle. Completing the front design is the gun-holster straps on either shoulder and the standard female character waist lines. The design features an impressively subtle array of armour plates in two-tone blue from neck to waist and a brown silver-buckled belt not dissimilar from Steve’s. ![]() This Captain Carter features a minimalistic white outline only, replacing the simplified star design that Rogers wore on his stealth suit. Unlike the other version, which features a very dominant Union flag (it’s technically only called the Union Jack when at sea) on the chest. The minifigure is a completely different design from the one coming in September as part of the LEGO Marvel Minifigures collection, with a more stealthy-looking suit printing here. Now that’s about to change with Captain Carter front and centre on the promotional posters for What If.? and I cannot wait to see super-soldier Peggy in action. Peggy Carter is a fantastic character in general and has deserved so much more limelight than the movies have allowed her. ![]() I’ve been a fan of on-screen Agent Carter since her debut in the MCU a decade ago in Captain America: The First Avenger and joyfully followed her post-war adventures in the two seasons of her solo show. Having spoken to a few other AFOL’s on social media, it’s very clear that it’s the minifigure collection in this set that is the big draw for older collectors, that’s for sure, and I completely agree. ![]() Red Skull finally gets a design accurate MCU variant, we get a non-super soldier Steve Rogers, and the star of the show, Captain Carter. The set comes with three fantastic minifigures, all unique to the set. The story has been confirmed as episode one of the show and Captain Carter is, apparently, a major player in the show – likely why one of the first LEGO sets released focuses on her story.įeaturing a stunning green mech, the first accurate MCU-inspired Red Skull, a non-super soldier Steve Rogers, and the Captain herself, this set definitely covers all of the big players in the story.īefore I jump in, however, I just want to remind you that this review has been published prior to the series release and any mentions of the show’s story is entirely speculative…anyway, let’s take a look. The trailers have already teased some of the stories that fans will get to witness, with one of the most prominent being Captain Carter, a variant story which sees Agent Peggy Carter replace Steve Rogers as the Hydra-hunting shield-throwing super-soldier. The What If.? series will explore the multiverse under the gaze of The Watcher, a being capable of seeing all realities – in laymen’s terms, he’s the Heimdall of the multiverse.Īhead of the show’s premiere, LEGO has released two new sets based on the multiversal stories under a new What If.? sub-theme, Tony Stark’s Sakaarian Iron Man, and the one I’m here to review today, Captain Carter & The HYRDA Stomper. It’s a question that has been posed in the comic books over the years, and will now be played out in an upcoming Disney+ animated show. Minifigures: Captain Carter, Steve Rogers, Red Skull ![]() This, inevitably, leads us Marvel fans to ask a very interesting question, What If.? No longer bound by the sacred timeline, each and every possible scenario in time and space is now being played out in the infinite number of branched universes out there. With the Loki TV series finale finally introducing the multiverse into the mix, the Marvel Cinematic Universe – or should I say multiverse – will never be the same again.
