Pass on Boy-Thing. I don’t even know what that’s all about and don’t want to. 

I’d be in for a ‘40s Cap, but without other ‘40s characters it seems moot. I’d love a Cap with an alternate shield that could pass him off as William Nasland or Jeff Mace though.

Boy-Thing isn't really a want of mine, but I wouldn't mind seeing him as a pack-in accessory for someone else.

1940s Cap is an easy yes.   However I would prefer the "Ultimate" release of him instead of just a standard release.   The Ultimate class of ML release is rumoured to start this year with Hulk and Spiderman.  Basically "ultra" deluxe releases with tons of accessories.

So I would love a 1940s Cap to get the same treatment with multiple shields and heads with possibly other parts to change up the look (arm with or without sleeves, etc.)

Boy-Thing could be fun to get.

Boy-Thing as a pack-in would be fun. All Cap looks welcome!

Yeah, it would have been cool to have had Boy-Thing packed in with Blade. Could likely be easy to customize with an extra head from the BAF. My only interest in WWII Cap & Bucky would be as the "evil" stand-in versions of those characters.

Boy-Thing is a pass.

While I wouldn't turn down a 1940's Cap,  I'm much more interested in a deluxe Captain America that would have all the bells and whistles and be the definitive version in Marvel Legends.

same- I dont really need a specific 40’s cap, but if I got a 50’s cap head for William Burnside, that would be great. 
While we’re on the subject, how would I go about getting a Grand Director head sculpt?

3rd time typing this is a charm, right?

Pass on Boy-Thing.  Aside from a name that sounds like a porn character, he seems like simple reuse of a Man-Thing head to pack in someplace.

’40’s Cap would be cool.  Maybe in a multi-pack: Cap, updated Bucky, Toro, Spitfire, and Hammond Torch.

Passes on the Acolytes and Boy-Thing (?!), but I couldn't say no to a 40's Cap.

OK... I was going to say I was a total pass on Boy Thing... but then I looked at the pictures and honestly -   I might be all right with the little Man Thing Jr head included as a shoulder companion accessory with another figure -  though I'm not dying for another blade immediately, if it could come with someone else from that Avengers run -  Robbie Reyes, or ?,   I would take it.     Or... if they included it as a pack in with the green guy wearing Blade's leather coat and using his sword,  I could accept that too.    I'm not clamoring for that figure, and there's a ton of Avengers I want in my hands ahead of that,  but if they made that a figure, I'd buy it.

 

As for WW II  Cap,   I feel like we've been there and I'm not dying for another go at that version of the character,   but I would totally accept it as part of a box set of Invaders or All-Winners Squad or whatever WW II package also delivered me  Hammond Torch, Whizzer and Miss America.

I'd be a pass on Thin Man, but would be down for an Avengers Forever/ChrisCross Genis-Vell.

Thin Man is not a character I am familiar with and while I am usually all good with original era characters and looks, this one just doesn't do it for me.

Genis-Vell has had a lot of great looks over the years, but I'm not a big fan of the character.  So I would be a maybe depending on the look.   The one exception is probably his Lim/Starlin era look.   I am a complete sucker for their work together, especially Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos Quest and Silver Surfer.   So I would pick up that look pretty quickly.

I'd get both, especially the Legacy version of Genis.
