Marvel Cinematic Universe Figure Discussion

I'm not sure what the solution for the boots is. The spikes always fall out on the older figures and it leaves a big notch. Swappable feet? Other companies have done it.

They could have done what Toybiz did with the original x23 and engineer them like a pocketknife with the claw being housed in the bottom of her foot when not deployed.
 
I'm usually a stickler for costume accuracy and I didn't even notice X-23's colors being wrong. Perhaps the backpack straps disguised it?

I do think the lack of an expression on the second face is odd but I'm thinking the hair down face is kinda meant to go on a second figure to make a younger Laura from Logan. Put the sunglasses on her and it could work.

Spotted the best of Mk III at Target today. Is there anything different about this figure? Did they lessen the detents in his shoulders?

I'm just curious if they did anything to improve the should joint which was notoriously prone to getting stuck and tearing off. Otherwise, great for those who missed it or didn't want to pay a higher special release price. I'm happy with the previous release which has more attachment options and I think another head option...?

For me she's just got that stoic concentration even in combat, so the dynamic hair with RBF works.

There is the most subtle paint difference in the gold bits, the new version is a lighter gold.....It looks nice but I don't know if that's worth the money to replace the old one.

They skimped on accessories that the original came with. They got rid of the arm rocket that I never used but also the really good mask-up Tony head is gone too.

I got this because the online pics makes the reds look shinier, more metallic, but in hand the reds are basically the same.....still the red swirly plastic, not the painted red finish I hoped for. I didn't take the new one out to check the joints because this one is probably going back. Even getting him at $17, I'm just not seeing a huge difference.

My concern is for the shoulders, they had some really tight ratchets that made the pegs feel like they would shear if you rotated the arms at the shoulder. I didn’t love this figure to begin with more because of the odd proportions. Those shoulders are TINY under the pauldrons. The arms look really short too. For a long deserved update/redo, they still managed a lot of regressive qualities.
