The Toy Collectors
kamikazekeeg:
Was actually considering getting this new Captain America figure when I first saw it, because I think it looks great, the suit might be up there as one of the better comic to MCU translations they've done and with the wings, it's quite a great looking figure. The suit just pops in toy form and in the show. Was super disappointed that the only way to have a complete Cap is to buy the entire wave as they made the wings a separate BAF release. I don't want any of the other figures and I'm not paying over 150 bucks just to get the wings lol Sadly I'll have to wait for a deluxe release, which I'm sure will come out with the next Captain America movie they announced.

I'm just hoping April won't be impossible to get when she's out in the next couple of months. NECA has actually been a lot better about their stock over the last few months, with the occasional hiccups, still.

I like the Shadow Master variant slightly more given the standard version kind of looks like those pixel-based figures from NECA (Contra, Castlevania, Rambo, et al) due to the highlights on the figure's abs and leg muscles. Not a deal breaker by any means, I still like it; I was surprised to find it, if I'm being honest - it was the only one left.

There was supposed to be an absolute ton of them showing up Walmart, but I haven't seen any. I wasn't sure if I was gonna get it, I just wanted to look at it in person, but I haven't been able to lol

Probably because the employees have been hiding/stashing them away...

I mean, it was expected. Regardless, I'm not wowed by this wave. Although, if I'm being honest, the MCU-related figures have never been my cup of tea, none has yet to pique my interest - Falcon and Zemo, and to an extent Scarlet Witch I'll admit look nice, but that's about it for me; I'm more into comic-accurate figures. Most of the figures look bland; Loki for instance could've had a second set of hands, and maybe even another head. Hopefully the final product has him with a different colored jacket because the one seen in the stock photos looks bad.

Oh yeah, I definitely think the Shadow Master looks way cooler.
They released the final images and packaging for April this morning, and she has gone up for pre-order on the NECA store. The Signature Edition has already sold out of the 2000 pieces (I'm in for my one - definitely already feeling some regret because of the price), and the standard is $30. My mom actually found me the movie Foot Soliders this morning as well, so now the only movie line figures I'm missing are Tokka and Rhazar, and I'm getting shelves from Ikea next week. Maybe I can finally stop spending money on them.

The new Super 7 TMNT wave was fully revealed and I think I'm gonna have to get the Samurai Leo. That was a favorite of mine with the spinoff figures they did after the initial main wave and it looks really good. I don't collect Super 7 stuff in particular, always a little pricier than other stuff, but I have the regular Leonardo, so I think I'll need this one.

Yeah, even though they often look really nice, I've never bothered to get anything from Super7...although I've been super close to with the ThunderCats figures. However, every time I'd end up saying, "I can use this money for something else," and forget about it.
With that said, though, that Samurai Leonardo does pique my interest, as I remember owning the original figure ages ago. I'll tell you what. I guarantee you I'll be all over the release of a Space Cadet Raphael.
