@normdapito I was thinking the same. I feel like I know the answer, I can't believe they would retool a figure in this wave that majorly.

Someone should ask STG (or maybe they can chime in here, having been a member) how they pulled off that landing pose with the Civil War armor. Is it real? Is it 'shopped?

I asked about the hips and he said the only updates he’s aware of are the paint apps and head, but he never had original so he’s not 100% sure. I followed up by asking if the figure pulled off the ground-punching pose without any issue, I’ll update when I get a response 

@sound_swipe Thank you for asking and posting!

The wave is up. I admit I may have ordered one or more.

That Iron Man pose is hitting from that angle with that zoom...willing to bet that it looks goofy from other angles or with a lower zoom.  

And RE:  Worthy Cap repainted as Stealth Suit, yes you're right, it wouldn't be accurate and thus wouldn't exactly work in this wave.  I suppose I'm just wishlisting as I just think the bigger buck makes for a better action figure and would enjoy it regardless of accuracy.  It would just be really cool to get that look on a the bulkier body with a grimacing "action" head, would be my favorite MCU figure.

We can definitely agree that those Widow holsters are junk, though.  The anti-grav straps make zero sense.

At least a Stealth Suit Cap with new sculpt is probably more likely now that they've done this repaint version first. 😀 

I ordered Banner and Widow but can comfortably pass on the rest.

Followup on the MK 46 hips, STG says the figure did pull off that pose without any issue.

I ordered Thor…debating Cap since my old one broke at some point. May try the clearance game on Spidey and MK 2

@sound_swipe That's crazy to me. I just tried it on the one I have and I didn't get the leg all the way out of fear it would snap off. Well, okay, I assume someone will try it in February.

The wave is lackluster and not up to the standard of the other Infinity Saga series that Surtur was in, but then again the pricing on this set is different too.  Most of the sets like this had their MSRP plus premium for new sculpts, but this wave doesn't have a lot of new sculpts so now that pre-orders are up we see that reflected in the fact that they're just listing them all at their normal $24.99 MSRP price.

That's true, good point. I was glad to see that actually. 

I was also happy about the pricing. 

These shouldn’t be more than 19.99. 
I still ordered MK II and Banner. But that’s it.

I definitely agree but yeah. Here we are.

Curious what the pricing will be in Australia hopefully in line with regular marvel legends releases & not the 60th anniversary figures. 

i think, i’m going to just get mk 2, banner, stealth suit, & widow. The other figures don’t offer enough new for me to get them again maybe i’ll consider getting civil war iron man if i can find it on discount because i really like the paint apps. 

i really wish this wave had more figures like the mom scarlet witch that is basically redecoed with limited new sculpting. 

@normdapito They're not going to decrease the standard price. Once it went up to 24.99, that was the minimum
