Thankfully THANKFULLY....they didn't use the spindly Bishop buck for these, but went for something more realistic. I know we floated the idea of female troop builders years and years ago on the forum, so its great we actually got them.

But unlike the SHIELD-HYDRA-AIM troop builders over the years, these didn't get any kinds of backpacks or alt uniforms or most of all, HOLSTERS.  The harness strap for both figures, have no purpose unless they're to hide pit stains. Come on! Even when they dug up the crummy buck for Madame Hydra, they at least gave it dual holsters for the pistols.

Now where set this shines, is the various heads provided. WOW....great job! The facial expressions, the hair styles; I just can't say enough about how well they turned out. In fact a 3rd figure would've been even better. The helmet with the "glass" visor is gorgeous! Ohhh I hope they continue to use translucent plastic like this for lenses and visors because it really does make the thing pop. And I found out, that WILL fit the male SHIELD figure too. All around, very good job.

I held off forever buying multiples of the Quake/ Hill figures until I decided I could use some nameless female SHIELD agents. Then I couldn't find any. I managed 2 (after buying 2 to represent the named duo ). So I'm pretty pleased that they offered this set.

BUT....... the set is way more expensive than the male 2 packs.. Hence I only bought 2 sets. For the male, I bought 5. Even Hasbro math tells them they are losing money by charging so much. I don't get how this seems beneficial to them.

Ah well, for me this is most likely my last army builder anyway. Between cost or making them BAFS has got me back to pretty much only Avengers and MCU

Excellent point, and once again, another demonstration of how they take one step forward, and two steps back. With this set its the cost, with the first SHIELD agents set, it was the lack of availability and keeping it in stock- even though it was a Pulse exclusive! Hopefully they'll do another round before year's end.

Good to know! I just got my set in but haven't opened it yet. This was one of the first questions I had when I saw that helmet.

Its not a PERFECT fit....it does look a bit small on the male body, but it works if you want. I hope all future helmets of this type have that "glass" type and colors like amber would be nice too. They really should have this set at a lower price because I'd definitely get more.

I'm really happy with this 2 pack, mainly for the great headsculpts, the variety and use this 2 pack gives is wonderful, that blonde head is now on my Sharon Carter figure, and I used the Unmasked Silk head on the SHIELD agent to make Melinda May, which is a awesome addition to the SHIELD roster.

I agree, Hasbro should definitely use the translucent plastic for all face shields, goggles, glasses, etc.
