Taking this discussion out of the Zabu thread into its own space.
Looking forward to the dudes, but Sharon leaves a lot to be desired. The black shoes are an odd choice, but I think it's accurate to SOMETHING... The head though, that's getting replaced with the blonde head from the female SHIELD agents. Can't tell from pics, does Dum Dum have a pot belly?
I’ll definitely be picking this up and slapping a Giant-Man wave classic Nick Fury head on that body.
Sharon is my least favorite part of this. She looks really…odd.
Dum Dum is the highlight for me. I just also wish they’d rerelease the SHIELD Agent 3-pack again (missed out the first time around) so I can slap a Dirk Anger head on one of those.
I also can't quite tell with Dum Dum - he does look to be at least a little rounded in the middle.
I thought Sharon might be based on the recent Destroyer look, but the costume isn't accurate. Maybe they'll include an alt-head just because.
Happy to be getting more SHIELD agents though. Gold and orange Clay Quartermain when?

Its her look from the Brubaker run. Head is off tho.
As for Dugan, they teased that he has “dad bod” in contrast to the more fit Fury Jr., but who knows what that means in practice.
Really hoping there is a classic Nick Fury head included, although it looks like it would need to go on Dum Dum since it looks like the necks are flesh colored. I’ve got older Fury heads around but I’m never sure they will “work” on a given neck setup. Too bad Sharon is so specific because I would be tempted to grab multiples of this set if the heads are swappable with the SHIELD Pulse set. I’d honestly rather have a generic SHIELD agent than Fury Jr, just not a character I *need*. Still: these male SHIELD bodies are a huge step up from the Bucky-body boys, so I may grab extras anyway.

I recognize the jumpsuit, it's the black shoes I couldn't remember. But yeah, I don't know what the head sculpt is based on.
Strange to me that Sharon has a bun and not a ponytail...
And those black feet...yikes!
Definitely already have some mods in mind.
Hoping they include a classic Nick Fury head. Not sure I have ever read a comic with Jr...

Maybe we get an alternate Gabe Jones head for the Fury Jr body?

Hoping the skin tone matches the Gabe Jones/maybe not officially Gabe Jones head that came in the SHIELD 2-pack.
I’d take a GW Bridge head as well. But yeah I hope Gabe-not-Gabe fits, or maybe that honking huge Rhodey head might not look so bad if it fits, or maybe even the unmasked Hobie Brown head from the Animated Prowler, although that looks like a lighter skin tone. Actually maybe just the SHIELD helmet even. Dang, it sounds like I hate NFJR more than I actually do; I just don’t really associate him with a standard SHIELD uni and honestly I wish I could pop that head on Commander Steve but that won’t work either. Now what would RULE would be if I could get that NFJR head onto the black Viper from the G.I. Joe Classified Viper 3 pack because a one-eyed unmasked Viper would be frigging excellent and probably promoted to squad leader instantly, but that’s a whole ‘nuther conversation.
Sharon misses the mark for me. I adore Brubaker's Cap run and I couldn't have told you that the figure was inspired by it.
SHIELD is maybe my least favorite corner of the Marvel U, though, so it's not like they lost a prospective buyer.
I could've been tempted by a single Dugan release, but I have not read one single comic with Junior or this version of Carter.
Of course, I'm also the guy who is reluctant to collect any Hydra because their masks don't cover their noses, so maybe I'm just being overly-picky.
I hope that Dugan has a swappable head, for Gabe Jones. 😀
Not sure why they felt the need to give us a Hobie head with Prowler (and on the body in package, if the photos are accurate), but this set is really missing sales oomph oportunity by not adding a few swappable noggins, even if they were just army builders - those Pulse exclusives are long gone.
Looking forward to an upgrade of Dum Dum, will sell Sharon instantly becuase it matches ZERO of her looks accurately, and I like, but don't really want/need a NFJR since MCU Fury is a respectable stand-in, would prefer a head swap of classic upgraded Fury, maybe even with a cigar since I assume this will be a Pulse exclusive that Moms can't get mad about.
Hasbro missing opportunity after opportunity.
Re: the cigar, I remember that the first Ultimate Fury figure from waaaaaay back in the Hasbro 2 pack days actually had a hole in the side of his mouth for a cigar, but of course did not come with one. I painted up a cylindrical plastic piece of proper size and jammed it in there with a dot of glue. I doubt we will get even that option ever again.
