My fav MCU character for me a no brainer, tho my originals are in good shape for now. I'd just as soon skip the battle for an artisan too much stress and it sux if you don't get through.

This has to be at least two heads, right? One with the eye make-up and one without that can wear the mask? Could get extra-costly if it’s Artisan.
Yeah my OG figure still looks good but this version of him is easily my favorite MCU character of all-time, so if this is an upgrade to leather I'm definitely going to try to get him. If I have to pay the Artisan penalty in order for that to happen so be it.
I wouldn't mind if they gave us his jacket from his first scene when he tried to take out Nick Fury. I did a custom of him with a pleather jacket from an old Judge Dredd figure (?) that still looks good but I haven't touched it in years - pretty sure the jacket will disintegrate if I do lol...

Okay, with this tease, they are officially hitting TWS really hard. Now not releasing an Artisan TWS Black Widow has just become a crime against humanity. But if they do that, how many people will cancel their Artisan IM2 Black Widow? Or maybe not? I don’t recall HT did anything quite like this in 2022 for The Avengers’ 10th anniversary?

Can’t wait to see what improvements on 2.0 for Winter Soldier
The 1.0 is falling apart the more I mess around with it.

I think most people prefer the IM2 look. I've definitely felt in the minority preferring her TWS outfit: I like the black better than blue, and the straight hair gives me Chris Samnee vibes.
I do wonder whether I should go for the Stealth Suit Cap or wait to see if they do a 2.0 of the Golden Age suit, though...
Nope, if anything they will undercut all the WS accessories that he had the first time around. Hold onto your original WS stuff for this notion. And by the way...will they FINALLY make his mech. arm SEAMLESS???

Don't see how they could make it seamless without making it some sort of rubber. I'd rather have them make it actually shiny, it should be near mirror-like. The teaser looks dull.

I'll just do another switch with a CW body - probably have to mod the head joint tho.
Nah, I'll keep her, with all the curly hair, eyeliner, red lips. TWS is a different look, more exotic Russian spy or at least to me. TWS being my fav MCU movie - heck even the end credit art is great - I'm more likely to splurge. Still keeping my original flat chest Cap tho.
Unless there are some amazing sales, since I'm essentially rebuying the same figs for TWS,

Definitely annoying that they're not chroming the arm. They always have an issue with knowing how metallic something should be painted when the reference makes it pretty obvious. Hope that gets adjusted.
Hopefully the arm is also appropriately bulky as well. The 1.0 arm was way too lanky.
Yeah, you're probably right about HT cutting back on accessories but I could see their adding that jacket to entice people on the fence with an alternate look. It also would likely be non-pleather/leather so probably less costly for them to produce.
They haven't figured out how to do a seamless mechanical arm yet (witness their subsequent WS, Cable & Nebula releases), so I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. Perhaps a swappable, static seamless arm?
See every armored Thor arm. All they have to do is rubbery-sleeve it and attached metal or plastic segments to it simulating the look with careful attention around the joint. Done correctly, the segments could even separate a little bit while being stretched in poses to replicate what happens when it moves in the MCU appearances.
