76079 Ravager Attack (2017)
Character Background
The mutinous leader of a rebel faction of Ravagers who overthrew Yondu Udonta in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Design Notes
The skin tone is a great match for the movie prosthetic; however, the lack of leg printing is a missed opportunity for a detailed character
Similar Minifigures
Yondu (sh379), Star-Lord (sh383), and Ayesha (sh381) from the same movie wave
Collectibility
Moderate; highly sought after by MCU completionists since he is a unique named character likely never to be remade
History
Part of the transition period where Marvel minifigures began receiving much higher detail on the torso prints compared to the early 2012-2014 sets
Interesting Facts
The character's name is a running joke in the film; the minifigure capturing his 'intimidating' face is slightly ironic given the film's context
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Rocket Raccoon and Mantis to recreate the Forest Attack scene from the movie
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom alien scavengers or Star Wars MOCs due to the Sand Green head and Ravager gear
Overall Assessment
A solid B-tier Marvel figure; the unique head print makes it a standout piece for character collectors despite the plain legs
