Thinking about this film lately in terms of hot toys and...I don't see it being a reckoning. In fact, I think we'll end up getting less figures than Civil War even.
Think about it. What is really a lock?
Iron Man
Captain America
Those are the only locks to me because I think Iron Man always gets some new armor and Cap's suit will probably be slightly changed enough in some way to justify doing him again. But who else? I can't see them redoing all the guardians again unless they each get new costumes and even then, they supposedly aren't even that big of a part. I can see them maybe doing another Vision if he gets radically diferent looking and maybe one or two new characters but I don't expect more than 5 or 6 figures from this. I don't even know for sure that we'll get another Thanos. But...Falcon won't be different probably, Ant-man may not get another figure until his sequel, etc. How big of a reckoning can this be? I'm expecting maybe 6 new figures, 2 of them will be iron man and cap again.
But, but - I see a POSSIBLE world of possibilities - unfortunately $$$$$$$$
. Because of the IMO fascinating concept of Team Cap being on the run. Unless HT decides to NOT push things....but *realistically*:
1) Street clothes Cap? Nomad Cap? Does Black Panther provide Cap w. a repaired suit? A better suit?
2) Ant Man and Falcon - they're on the run too. Who is taking care of their tech w. no Tony Stark to repair Falcon's wings? Stuff must have to get recharged or whatever. Does Hank Pym step in and provide Falcon w. wings? Where did all the tech stuff go when Team Cap got arrested?
3) Black Widow took off for who knows where - wouldn't a trained spy change things up to blend in?
4) Black Panther - w. all the access to technology and wealth he has, might be BP version #3 (after #2 from BP movie)
5) Scarlet Witch - wild card maybe, but in theory she will come into her own w. possibly clothes to match.
6) Dr. Strange - maybe we'll get a version w. the iconic gloves - (but have him on PO as I figure HT isn't going to load him w. accessories again.)
7) Bucky - assume BP will outfit him? - maybe + possible Bucky Cap (or Falcon Cap...or not...
)
8) Hawkeye - same as Ant Man and Falcon - new outfit, new tech (from someplace...)
Not even a whole list and ~ 12 characters or variations of....1200 x 200 = $2400. Well, OK, for me - any and all WS a must. Cap/Nomad a must. SW a must. Maybe BW. Probably Falcon. Might be able to keep it to spending ~$1400
. Except I'm probably gonna need Thor...
I loosely group stuff by film, so I'm gonna be picking up some of these potential figs. Might as well start a fund now.
