Contents[]
Adventure Fold-Up Figures is a supplement of over 125 color cut-apart cardstock miniatures of various heroes and villains, from Galactus to Aunt May.[1] Adventure Fold-Up Figures are cardboard miniatures for roleplaying games, and each figure has three images of the character in question; a third panel identifying the subject is taped or glued behind one of the pictures to form a triangular prism of the figure.[2] Characters represented include the X-Men, Avengers, Fantastic Four, Alpha Flight, and New Defenders are all here, along with a handful of other major heroes like Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, Daredevil, and Moon Knight; some supporting characters like Aunt May, Franklin Richards, and Bernie Rosenthal; and some villains.[2]

Reception[]
Russell Grant Collins reviewed Marvel Super Heroes Adventure Fold-Up Figures in The Space Gamer No. 75.[2] He felt that "If you play a Marvel comics campaign (in any system) this set is worth buying" but commented that "It's rather hard to establish the point in Marvel history that these characters are taken from, because certain characters are shown in their pre-Secret Wars costumes [...] and others aren't".[2] Collins concluded the review by stating "I'm afraid that it comes down to price; do you want to pay six dollars for a lot of cardboard figures, including a number of questionable values [...] All in all, a mixed value for most of us."[2]
