@tsi, the white tux jacket was used for the Fresh Monkeys Agent Carter. In a pinch, you could use that with the spare hands and blond eyepatch head to make an enemy agent to play poker with.
Ah. I forgot about that monkey figure and assumed they'd offer the white tux separately. I pre-ordered Carter and the Spy. It doesn't make a huge difference to me because I plan to swap on a James Bond neck/head anyway.
Thanks for the heads up.
The card holding hands on the spy are bothering me. I feel like they should be the other way around? I suppose it's for more flamboyant posing, but seems an odd grip for that orientation. That said, the cigarette hand is perfect. Love it.
The thing I'm debating now is grabbing the all black SOF dude to replace my all black spec ops guys from Valaverse...
I was seconds away from pre-ordering it anyways, thinking I could just paint it, when I realized that, if I'm going to be painting the hood anyways, I can just paint one of the extra hooded heads that come with the Crimson Moon Cultist.
At that point, why not just spend a few bucks on one of the many 3D printed hooded heads. You can cut the wait and the effort of trying to cover up the base color.

I honestly haven't seen a hooded head that looks this good. Well, I did see one I really liked, but I think that was someone's personal custom and not a for sale item.
The FMF hoods are almost exactly it for me, right down to the parallel seams running down through the eyes.
@fletch That's a legitimate reason. I sometimes forget how picky us toy people can be. 😁
So buy a couple blue suit agents and get a hood for Coco and two suited bodies for Tomax and Xamot? Sure. Bonus the extra heads that come with the agent and the weapons. Looks like fun.
Thwipp!
I think I might be in for a black camo agent or two and the spy; the playing card hands on the spy are actually a huge selling point for me. I've been building some stuff based on 80s and 90s HK action and crime movies, and there were a ton of gambling films.
Speaking of, desperately hoping that someone involved in making this line is a John Woo fan or something, because there aren't a ton of Asian figures out there to draw from when putting together customs. I've been commissioning 3d printed heads of favorite HK actors and actresses from the era.
Interesting that they decided against the bright orange jumpsuit Close Combat Operative they showed in the previews. Also the white tuxedo spy/agent isn't in the wave - I wonder if those guys are cut, or just pushed back for a potential wave one point five or wave two or exclusives or something.
The Jaguar Brigade Specialist is definitely appealing but I am not convinced I want to be all in - the guy in the tuxedo is not really something I am very interested in for my collection. Likewise the Saboteur is not a design I like and was definitely planning on skipping as well, so having to get one of each to secure the Jaguar Brigade guy is a bummer. And, obviously it means multiples of the JB Specialist are off the table.
At least I'll have a blue hooded head for Cobra Commander and a blue suit for Tomax and/or Xamot.
I already had two of the BBTS exclusive red agents pre-ordered - thought they'd go well with my Crimson Moon team...
Glad they are finally up for order at least I guess.

I don't know about the orange, but I wonder if the white tux they didn't just drop because it's basically the Fresh Monkey Agent Carter with a different head. Which, fair enough, I have pre-ordered that monkey.

Yeah... you are probably right about the white Tux. If anyone wants the white tux spy they can use the spare head from the black tux agent on the Monkey Agent figure.
