America! America!! America! Stop this... not going to make a refernce to that movie heck yeah! So yeah, America Chavez, who is supposed to be black and Puerto Rican was race swapped to a Mexican mestiza with Mesoamerican Native and Spanish heritage, yet most of the folks who hate whitewashing were OK with this. But let's talk America:
She's a latina alien from a lesbian dimension, but in reality is a sick child of a pair of lesbian doctors who have her undergo an experimental treatment that gave her godly powers. Raised in a household of Puerto Rican ancestry (both her adoptive parents being Nuyorican), but she's Mexican now, carnal! She appeared in Doctor Strange: in the MoM as the McGuffin that both wanda and Strange needed. If you want a more in-depth background on her, just watch Doctor Strange in the MoM.

America: You're THIS Universe's Dr. Strange? Strange: Who are you supposed to be? Dora the Explorer? America: I'm America Chávez. Strange: No You're not... America: Este Medico Rarito no es el Doctor... Strange: Yo entiendo y hablo Español... America: Since when? Strange: Since I've been using Duolingo... America: La puta madre... Strange: So, what brings you here? America: I don't know, there was this one eyed monster and a mom... Strange: That sounds like my Internet history, but go on... |
Articulation
AmeriDora... seriously, Xochtil Gomez looks more like a grown up Dora the explorer than America Chavez, has the standard female articulation and that includes the single joint elbows.

Spidey: Spider-Sense going haywire, Doc! We're in some serious trouble!! Strange: Spider-Man!? What's wrong!? America: La Puta Madre, es el hombre que araña... es un superhéroe que si se rompe el culo por la justicia. Strange: we do not reference ElBananero here. |
Paint and sculpt
The figure does a great job at capturing Xochtil Gomez's likeness... shame that I can't say the same thing about the Selfie Series. My figure is OK as it has no slop. The weathering on the white of her jacket is nicely done.
5.0

America: The Scarlet Bitch is here, Move it, bug-dude! Spidey: So much pAiN! Wanda: Ah America. Fuck yeah! Come with me child, you will help me reach my children. Strange: Wanda, wait! There is no need for you to destroy multiverses to have children... I know of a way for you to have children without destroying the Multiverse... Wanda: Very Well Stephen, do it! |
Accessories
Open hands and a BAF Piece. We could've gotten some Pizza Balls you know...

Wanda: Yes! Yes! Yes! *moans* Strange: I told! you! it would! be magical!! I have arrived. America: So that's why the movie is called Doctor Strange in the MoM... Let me see! Spidey: Nope! Exposing a minor to pornography is illegal on the 616 universe... America: OK, I'll just go to a different Earth where you aren't as responsible... Spidey: wait, multiple Earths? Could I ask you a favor or 3? Nefty VO: Spidey, no. You won't go to earths where Gwen Stacy or Ben Parker lived. Spidey: Dammit!! |
Overall
America gets a 3.83 as her final score. I mean it's not a bad fogure but she's kinda plain and has very little to offer aside a BAF Piece. I hope we get a Comic Book version of America.
