Not articulated, but the Marvel Select- compatible Marvel Gallery MODOK is out now.
At NYCC the Diamond team told me that Captain America will be released in 3-4 months but he’s listed as October still with most retailers 🤔
When we solicit figures in Previews, there is often a default time frame given of six months. At one point that may have been true, and for some products it still is, but with Select figures, there is a lot of back and forth with the factory to get it right. Extends it to 8 or 9 months.

Zach told me the same thing essentially, that Cap won’t be out til like Jan-Feb.
The upcoming Annihilus figure inspired me to finally read Annihilation (I've been planning to for a long time) and now I just have a bunch of new cosmic characters on my wish list.
Nova, Ronan, maybe High Evolutionary. I feel like they wouldn't redo any of the Guardians, but I would love DnA era costumes for them—especially Star-Lord and Rocket. Maybe a classic Gamora. I'd name Bug, but I'm thinking he's off the table due to rights issues..?
I recently picked up Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman, and I was just blown away. I know it sounds cliche, but a lot of love went into these figures and it shows.
Marvel Select has made beautiful display pieces from the very beginning, and I know that articulation has been steadily improving, but now they have a fun factor that’s been kicked into overdrive.
These two figures are the best purchases I’ve made in a LONG time. I’ve been sleeping on Marvel Select, but I’m wide awake now. The Human Torch is arriving today, and Vision is next on my list.

Now try their big boys like Titanium Man and Beta Ray Bill
I just got my select iceman figure and I really like it, I didn't think I would like the shading on the arms and legs but in person they look quite good and I like the base. I do have one problem though My smooth head seems to be missing an inner piece that the ball joint sits in, does anybody have an email address where I can see if I can get a replacement? Also what are the two transparent poles for?

I think the poles are for his handheld ice effects.. They're kinda heavy, so the posts provide support. You can see the peg holes on them and on the slide.
I can get you a new head.
The holes in the ice effects are hard to see at first.
Should have Sue this week finally. Excited!
Any news about the Annihilus and captain American?
Indeed. Eagerly awaiting pre-orders for Annihilus.
Got Sue. So, I love the figure. Love the multitude of parts and display options, hope this really sticks as a trend for the future. As I suspected, the RBF is less distracting for me in hand, and the portrait itself is beautiful (and catches IW in battle mode), though I still would prefer this headsculpt for Emma Frost. I'd like to headswap her with McFarlane's Supergirl, if Todd ever decided to let Kara hit Europe.
The arms are definitely too short, once again for MS. Not sure what happened here, with Reed, Vision and probably some other figures. Hopefully I'll be able to find some new arms for her in my fodder.
Like I've said many times before, I don't see myself using those invisible parts because I don't like transluscent figures - the clearly visible white pins break the illusion for me entirelly.
Any news about the Annihilus and captain American?
Captain America we are tweaking the packaging. But I should get a production sample today, to test it out, so hopefully packaging approval will go quickly and he will be available in January.
Annihilus will possibly be offered for pre-order in late December, unless we go a different route. There is another figure we may offer first. We'll see.
