Marvel Cinematic Universe Figure Discussion

Same here. I'd like Taskmaster too

In a way, Taskmaster is the one I want the most because at least Ghost is gonna be in the next movie.

Ghost falls into that category that I'm kind of notorious for: loving a character- usually a side character that doesn't get much fleshing out or screentime- just because they look cool and/or have cool powers.

Apparently I am as well if building then improving a Boba Fett costume for over a decade is any indication.

Don't know why, but something about her design just really hits that sweet spot for me- kinda like Ratcatcher 2, I like those darker, kinda broody characters with either hoods or long jackets, and a cool mask.

Yeah, that costume works really well.

I'm cool keeping the old Taskmaster on the shelf if need be.

I admit I sold mine as soon as I saw her design for Thunderbolts. I don't think figures were even rumored, but I knew I wanted her Thunderbolts design or nothing.

I could see them maybe doing her as a make-up figure in a future saga wave if nothing else,

GOD I hope so.

but I worry that her screentime was so short and her impact so little, that Hasbro is just gonna consider her unnecessary, like the other Knights of Ren, for instance.

I know... I really worry about that too. Such a neat design though, and knowing the original plan for her in the movie just makes it worse because it sounded like a lot of fun.

But honestly, they should just give us all 3. It's not like they're immune to 3 packs, even in the MCU line.

Yes. Yes please. Big fat yes please.

I still can’t believe Hasbro didn’t make figures of all of the Knights of Ren. I know they were barely there, but it’s like they were designed to be made into action figures.

Seriously. I didn't think any of the designs were quite as cool as Kylo, but as a group they're really neat. I would never want just one or two Knights of Ren.

Ghost & Taskmaster 2 pack > inevitable Ghost & Bucky 2 pack

John and Bob showed up just as I was leaving the house, so John is in the car now being beaten up by comic book Crossbones. He thinks it’s really fucking unfair, man, pitting him against that ‘roided up ape. He thinks I have a grudge against him. He’s a real insecure dude, man.

Ghost & Taskmaster 2 pack > inevitable Ghost & Bucky 2 pack

I mean, I'll take a Bucky. At this point though, I'm not as excited for the Thunderbolts Legends just for Red Guardian's height. But yeah, Ghost & Taskmaster as a set would be just ideal as all get out for me.

John and Bob showed up

My set also arrived! Happy to have them both.

 

[AceofKnaves]

I want the whole cast and especially Val, both to serve as Val and also for the uncanny likeness to Tulsi Gabbard.
Frank Castle would like to have a word with Tulsi.

My Bob/Walker sets were waiting for me when I got home and when I ripped open the box guess who was staring at me:

YELENA!!!

I got two Yelena/Alexei instead. The likeness to Florence is much better in person, but something is still off with her proportions - maybe the head itself is too big? Or her face print is too big on it?

I really dig the Bob/Walker 2 pack. There's just something about them that feels really nice- don't know if they upped the quality of the plastic or if it's just the design of the costumes themselves and how nice they are. Sculpt and paint is great- Bob's faceprinting looks like they just shrunk Lewis or a young Bill down into figure form.

Definitely a bummer Walker's gun isn't removeable; feels odd for them to include it at all if they were just gonna keep it unusable, but I had an extra pistol lying around from somewhere. Feels like it may be a smidge on the large side, but he looks really good holding it.

If anything, getting just this 2 pack has made me even more excited to get the Yelena pack, so I hope Amazon comes through soon. Holding out hope that the Val/Void pack does come to fruition. I really did love and relate to the message of the movie and Bob so much. Feels like it would be such an easy release for Hasbro to do, so they'd be silly not to. Maybe we'll get a reveal for NYCC.

Same! I think Yelena more for me though. Obviously because of all those black ops gigs.

Looking forward to figuring out how to make Red Guardian taller.

 

[Schizm]

Well... my Ghost idea isn't going to work given how tall Yelena *still* turned out. Florence is 5'3" - why is this so hard for Hasbro? Hannah John-Kamem is 5'6".

Gotta love making main characters from leftover parts - thanks, Hasbro!

 

[Ru1977]

@Schizm is that your underappreciated MCU shelf?

 

[altcunningham]

Man, they went so hard on Eternals.

Sucks the message was "Let's not do that again".

 

[CTV]

Eternals is still one of my favorite MCU films.

 

[altcunningham]

I enjoyed it.

But specifically for toys they went all out on completionism and effort. And now we can't even finish TBolts or even get the F4 in a scene accurate look.
