Out of all the characters from the MCU Phase 1, 2, and 3, Hawkeye was probably the most boringest character. Today’s polybag, 30165 Hawkeye with Equipment, is a perfect reflection of that. This was one of those bags that didn’t have a name printed on the bag itself. But Bricklink pegs it as “Hawkeye with Equipment”.

Part of a larger LEGO concept by the builder, this model of the docks at Fort Stockton, Wullham features some lovely architecture, delightful parts usage, and realistic rock formations. Flickr Builder Evancelt enjoys historical era models full of red jackets and muskets set against natural scenery with old buildings. Here they used some simplistic parts as crenellations and molding along the top of the fort, while cleverly employing letters with a red seal as diamond-leaded windows.

The bright red stands out well against the stark background and perfectly frames the mess of exposed innards in the creature’s chest.
