"Midi" Figures Review

[Peppermint_M]

 

Shopping around in the few places still open during these times of Lockdown and "essentials only" shopping: Poundland is a place that is not locking away all the items, so in the toy section I went a-browsing and found some curious "Midi" Figures. They are the same size of the Flashlight Keyring figures, but are a bit more poseable. 

Combat Heroes Academy is the theme. Mystery is the one villian I found. According to the back of the box there are four to colelct. I found three.

Bolt here looks rather a lot he is wearing an Agents uniform,

Portal is most certainly not Quicksilver.

Mystery and their accessories. The hammer looks like it could be perfect for a certain Ninja...

From behind you can see they have a pretty cheap construction. The plastic is also "cheap" feeling but these are robust enough, I have not pulled them apart too much. 

Bolt here is all in pieces. Again, everything comes off like you would expect from a Minifig. There is a small cylinder on the hilt of the sword, this can come off but is necessary for the figure to hold it.

From this view, you can see the hair part is pretty much the same as the original LEGO part, but scaled up.

Portal has a Quicksilver vibe, maybe a hint of Iron Man. The axe is impossible to fit in the hand of the figure to keep in place. Oh yeah, I took this one after I switched the parts around a little on the figures, then realised that I had a really blurry first photo. He is supposed to have the blue hands but:

You can mix and match as much as any minifig. So if they keep making these different characters and in different themes, it would still have some fun like standard figures.

They are more poseable than a minifig, as an action figure they are fun to play about with; better than some of the higher price/quality mix and match products. I paid £1 for each of these, I am going to look out for the advertised 4th on the packet back, maybe see if there are some more themes.

Yup, Cole looks good with some new kit. As you can see with the accessories in hand, the figures are a match to the flashlight keychains.

For a pocket sized, pocket money toy, these are very cool.

Soo, been a long while since I did a review for a weird clone brand. Hope it was amusing at least.
