**Hey all! Just wanted to slip in a quick reminder to enter the contest from earlier this week if you wanna win free stuff! See previous post for the details! ;)**

I've wanted a Captain Britain since his initial Marvel Universe release. I wanted him bad just so I could complete my United Nations of Super Heroes. You know, Captain America and U.S. Agent for the USA, Sunfire representing Japan, Guardian for Canada, Union Jack and Captain Britain for...You guessed it, Great Britain!

Jack of many and master of all? Wot? |
Though I saw the first MU single carded release on the pegs in September last year and the Captain Brit pics from the 2-pack with Spiderman that turned out to be the old school costume, I wanted neither. Funky as the latter and classic as the former was, I wanted a modern Captain Britain, dammit! All it took was a movie to be made. And it isn't even about the good ol' British Super Soldier himself--it's about
duh, Captain America, of course!

But just to get you guys who are not from "across the pond" or are not from a country that's been a British colony before in the mood for some right ol' jolly good toy reviewing, we'll sing the world's most recognized national anthem,
God Save the Queen!
Feel free to belt it out along with the video:
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and Glorious,
Long to reign over us;
God save the Queen!
Yes, right chaps! Now that we're all in the mood, did you know that the most recognized flag in the world is the Union Jack? Cor Blimey! It's a wonder that Captain Britain isn't the most recognizable character in the world! Maybe after this review he'll become the most recognizable action figure in the world. Load of codswallop? We'll just have to take a look, shall we?
