Marvel Civil War

Marvel Civil War

The critically acclaimed 2006-2007 Marvel Story arc Civil War comes to life for the first time in this Lego project. For those who don't know the story: Following the passing of the Superhero Registration Act requiring all Super-Heroes to give up their secret identities and work for the government, a separation between the heroes occurs, causing an all-out Civil War. Captain America, thinking the act unconstitutional, leads the team of rebels against Iron Man's pro-registration team.

This set depicts the very first battle in the Civil War at the Geffen-Meyer Chemical Plant. Since the Civil War comic story arc is getting a reboot this summer (2015) and the movie Captain America: Civil War is to come the following year, I think it would be a great opportunity to make a Civil War-themed set!

-Minifigures-

Team Iron Man:

• Iron Man
• Ms. Marvel
• Spider-Man (Iron Spider)
• Hawkeye (Classic)
• She-Hulk
• Radioactive Man

Team Captain America:

• Captain America (Battle Damage)
• Falcon (Classic)
• Daredevil
• Punisher
• Moon Knight
• Tigra

On Iron Man's side is a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicopter with turning propellor and pivoting flick-fire missiles. In the chemical plant part of the set, Radioactive Man has a turret with a cannon that fires toxic waste. Captain America has his motorcycle and his team has an armored vehicle with opening doors and back, as well as flick fire "shield" missiles.

The most exciting part of this project for me is all the Marvel Super-Heroes never before seen in Lego form! It was indeed a difficult choice to decide which heroes to include, but I am happy with the choices I made. With new versions of Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, Hawkeye, and Falcon as well as never-before-seen-in-Lego characters Daredevil, Punisher, Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, She-Hulk, and Tigra, this set is packed full of gems that any Marvel fan would love to get their hands on! I would also like to point out the three female Super-Heroes (more than we've ever seen before in any manufactured Lego set), that may appeal to female fans of Lego and Marvel. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the way each character turned out and I hope I did justice to your favorite Marvel Super-Heroes! 

With a substantial build, great characters and a gripping back story, this set would provide hours of fun for all ages. Please support and share this project! Don't forget to leave a comment and tell me what you think about this set!
