His costumes in Winter Soldier and Endgame are so different that it would have to be almost entirely new to 'use' the Worthy Cap body. The entire torso, upper arms and shoulders, thighs.

It is disappointing but this wave is what some of us figured it would be. This is the same company that included a repaint of the 2008 Mk 1 figure in the Ten Years line. So even if they had included a Fury figure in this wave, it totally would have been that First Avenger mold.

Can't say I am disappointed cause this is basically what I thought we were getting when we saw the leaked list. That said though, Rhodey in place of Fury stinks. Oh well though. I want this line to keep going and add never before made characters, so I will bite the bullet. But I don't have to like it

I can't believe how stupid and lazy they got with these...

  • Iron Man MK2 - Fine
  • War Machine - Why no Don Cheadle head?
  • Iron Man MK46 - Fine
  • Spider-Man - Lazy AF
  • Captain America - Lazy AF
  • Black Widow - Why didn't they do Civil War? They have the body for it, why use this old POS?
  • Thor - At least he has the best looking Chris Hemsworth likeness to date.
  • Bruce Banner - Why the eff didn't they use the pinless legs? He was almost perfect.

This go around has been the most frustrating when it comes to the Infinity Saga, not a single new body in the group and some very questionable reuse (we should have never seen any part of that original Widow buck ever again).

These seems like they'll hit clearance in no time and kill what's left of this sub-line. Seriously where are our missing characters? We don't even get one here.

It seems like most of us have one or more in the wave we intend to get, but anyone see any figures you're super thrilled about or is it all just 'eh, I'll get those'? I know this exact Banner was on my list for a while but now I'm not getting unmasked versions. I kinda want that Thor, mostly for the likeness, and Cap just because it's a better version of a suit I like a lot, but neither were ever on my list. And we can all think of not only better character choices but more preferable versions of THESE very characters as well. Except maybe Banner.

Only in for Widow, Cap, & Thor...mainly because I missed the original releases & of course the updated face printing.

But then again, I picked up the Winter Soldier re-release with updated face printing, and that thing is a hunk of junk 😕

I hope they fixed that Iron man's hips. I have the three pack version and he cannot open his legs at all or move them up. So either they fixed it or this pose is fake:

 

Also did they just change Black widow's chest for... what? The size? That original one had the suit texture continue, but the new one is textureless.

@andru you're right, it's just the same 2014 body with new heads, much like some figures here.

 

@spinc and you're also right, there is NO way that figure can do that pose.

I hadn’t taken close enough look at Widow. Didn’t realize she’s on that ancient body. Definite skip.

@ru1977 I'm not 100% decided on any yet, but Thor is likely the only one I'm getting. I may cave on Spidey with time just because the colors look GORGEOUS. Really hoping the NWH Tom Spidey is the final swing suit so I can just skip this release.

I’m happy for newer collectors & people who missed out the first time around. Hasbro selection on figures & accessories leaves a lot to be desired

but at least they are better than their original releases. I’ll only be picking up a few figures from this wave.

 

War machine- i think i have both previous releases of this figure & this doesn’t look like it offers anything new

 

Spiderman - was thinking of picking this up but it’s using the concept art figure & not the accurate homecoming figure & doesn’t have web lines painted like the original figure. Odd choice for hasbro to use this when they have an accurate buck. Nice head sculpt.

 

Thor - great  likeness & better than the 10 year anniversary 2-pack but not enough for me to need two versions of the same figure

 

Iron man civil war  cv g t- i have the single carded & 3-pack version of this figure & i do love the deco & the unmasked head i just don’t think i can justify purchasing this figure for a third time.

 

Black widow - I’ll purchase this because it has better likeness, articulation and deco. Hasbro should never reuse those legs & i don’t understand why they choose those guns when they have given accurate guns with widow previously. I would have  preferred a civil war widow

 

Captain America - i’ll get because of the head-sculpts which a far more superior than the original version. Not as upset about the body because i think this figure holds up better than the widow figure.

 

Iron man mk 2 - i think everyone smelt this coming when they gave us the mk 3 & I think this is a perfectly acceptable resuse

 

Bruce Banner- honestly my most anticipated figure of this wave.

I can't take these MCU Spider-Man figures anymore.  Not with these unpainted webs.  It's not the fans' job to get out their Gundam pen after they just paid top dollar.  Finish the job on these figures and paint the webs.  Act like a toy company that makes a loooooooooot of money.

I was hoping Banner would be in a Hulk two pack.  No way I am dripping $30 for this figure with no accessories.

War Machine might have been a sale with a Rhody head.  They really don't want to do Rhodey for some reason, do they?  We got a Mark II with the face plate up (non photo real), that's the best we've gotten.

Thor almost wins me over with the smiling extra head, but I don't think I need him.

Black Widow is the only one I want.

I don't want another Dark World Thor. I want one that'd work for his first film & The Avengers. It could come with a choice of bare & armored arms plus an alternate helmet head.

Hopefully if they ever do War Machine mk 4 and/or 6, they finally do a full Rhodey head. He had the whole helmet off in both suits.

That's exactly what I want.  That movie is always going to be iconic and I want that 6 man roster in updated toy form.  That's why I want BW from this wave.  The IM VII we have already is passable, 4 more to go.

The wave is what it is - easy repaints. What parts are actually new? Banner head, both Thor heads (or just one of them)?

Was somewhat excited for MkII... but those rivets are painted on, aren't they? :/
