1/6 Hot Toys - MMS315 - Captain America: TWS - Nick Fury Collectible Figure

[Dino_Ranger_White]

I traded up to get TWS version... he is a much improved figure over the first.

No trouble swapping head at all. Just a straight swap.

I got mine last week and definitely prefer the sleeker and simpler look for him to the more tactical look of Avengers.

And even with the basic outfit he still seems to have as much presence on the shelf as any of my other Marvel figures.

Agreed. He's a favorite in my collection.

For the price you can get him for from Popcultcha, grab one of these from KGHobby with the money you save. IMO it brings him up to pseudo DX standard and is a great display in a detolf.

I've been thinking about getting this figure recently too. My only thing is I wonder if there will be a new version from Captain Marvel. Then again even if there is he'll probably look different (younger).

The Popcultcha price is indeed pretty good - I'm seeing $153 shipped to the US.

I’m kinda surprised that more people weren’t into this figure (it seems) — it’s this weird Venn Diagram of coolness, pivotal MCU character, Samuel L. Jackson, veteran super-spy.

I get that he’s not a superhero, but he manages to elevate the shelf with his presence. Sculpt is still one of HT’s best, IMO.

I was re-arranging the collection and struck by how good he looks with Mark IV. If I get some decent light I need to do a shoot, but maybe need an extra coffee cup first. [emoji848]

He's a great fig, from the arm sling to the coat to the sculpt. For me anyway it's a money thing - got a late start collecting so for my TWS group he was the last.

I do agree that the figure is great (aside from the cheap jacket) and the headsculpt is one of the best, but at the end of the day Nick Fury is not an essential character. There will always be other characters that outrank him in terms of must-have or would-rather-have for collectors.

Heck, the only reason I have him is cause I managed to get him in the $150 range, brand-new! He was never on my purchase list, but only pulled the trigger when I saw the deep discount.

His eye was scratched out by a cat. He lost all his cool points lol.

That's actually where Coulson falls for me -- suit's outdated but otherwise a solid figure, but too non-essential for me. But Fury's the architect of the Avengers Initiative and a linchpin for the MCU.

I consider that non-canon.

Not a cat, a flerken

I still don't get why Feige signed off on that...

Doesn’t make it any less lame.

 

[MegaPrime33]

Comics Fury lost it due to complications from a Nazi grenade blast and an explosion during the gulf war. When watching Capt Marvel I was expecting the Skrulls betray them at the end, proving they're all really bad guys, and Fury loses an eye during the battle. I did not expect him losing it from a cat scratch.

You can complain about a lot in the MCU — and this coming from a staunch fan — but one of the most poorly handled, off-brand renderings in all of the MCU was CM Nick Fury. I have yet to watch it again but from what I remember it’s like he wasn’t even the same character.

Like the director said: “Hey Sam — I need you to play Nick Fury’s totally uncool twin brother, okay thanks.”

And sure he can like cats. But not after the thing went Full Flerkin.

I srsly ignore the eye thing. Kinda like I ignore the existence of Jaws 3. Credit to Feige for everything he's done, but
even in End Game girl power and the newest "everyone is gay" (joking a bit here, but Joe Russo, recent comments, and
general diversity stuff in the planned Eternals) +

getting the suspicion - and could be really wrong - that the BW movie may end up being more "girl power, yeah!"

to me it's just the MCU showin' some strain by the end. Ignoring organic story-telling for agenda. Bad writing from forcing stuff
or just being cheap.

Not tryin' to trigger anyone and I don't care who is gay/multicolor whatever. But even comic book movies need to be well-written.
I forget the whole quote about "if you are world-creating, the created world has to have its own set of logic and rules the same way
the real world does, otherwise you lose the audience". Something like that.

ANYWAY. Even tho Fury was the last of my TWS group figs, IMO he is an asset to the display. *Cries* My TWS/Civil War/Ragnarok figs are all stellar, but speakin' of cheapness sometimes I worry about IW Bucky. Then again, there's been so little news on him and Shuri it'll be like Loki for me - I'll forget I ordered him.

Fury just sets off the collection. Grounds the other characters while acting as a foil — much the way Jackson himself does in the MCU.

On a related note to the above — I keep forgetting I ordered Black Panther. [emoji38]
