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]
