Paint
Color is comic book-accurate, which is always a huge plus for these figures.
The paint on Dr. Strange could not be any cleaner. It's like each one was hand crafted by master painters instead of being mass produced in some factory in China (which, they actually are).
The only drawback to this figure would be the hinge joint at the wrist. Once you move it in any direction, the plastic around the joint scrape off the gold/yellow glove paint, revealing the blue underneath. It looks horrible, especially since the contrast between the shiny gold and the slightly dull blue is remarkably stark.
Articulation
In all my years of collecting action figures, never have I seen a Marvel figure as well articulated as Dr. Strange. Let's go down the list - ball joint neck, ab crunch, waist, ball shoulder, hinge elbow, swivel wrist, hinge wrist, peg joints, cut thighs, double jointed knees, boot cut, ankle hinge and ankle rocker. That's a hell of a lot already but I'm pretty sure I missed out on a couple.
Fun Factor
Even though Strange's articulation is insanely good, the cape restricts some of his movement. If you plan to make him kung fu pose, just like Wong taught him, it would be best to remove the cape. You can just slip it through over his head. With cape removed, Dr. Strange is just a barrel of fun. Some of his joints are quite thin, though, to accommodate the size restrictions, so you just have to be careful.
Final Veridct
Dr. Strange is one of the best Marvel Universe figures ever created, to date. He is certainly the best in the wave, so if you find yourself with the opportunity to grab a Dr. Strange, go for it!
