The only way I'm ever buying another Cap is if they finally get Chris Evan's physique done right. I love my Civil War Cap, but the way the shoulders look and how thick his whole upper body looks are kinda distracting.
 
The only way I'm ever buying another Cap is if damn filmakers finally give him a good lookin' costume that isn't another repaint variation of the S.T.R.I.K.E. one.

They have an opportunity here to portray him as a super-hero outside of his standard variations red white and blue, but I doubt they'll take it... He'll probably just be civvy Steve until they decide he's "Captain America" again, and hand back the shield.
 
I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't have him suited up in some fashion. Even with an alternate shield. He is teamed up with T'Challa who is literally the MCU's source for Vibranium not to mention awesome tech, they might even go holo shield or something along those lines too. I'm sure they'll be some moment in the film where he officially suits up and is given back his shield but given the chance to sell more merchandise it wouldn't surprise me to see a Steve Rogers still in costume.

I thought one of the funniest parts of the Civil War commentary was when the Russo's and Markus and McFeely joked about seeing Nomad when we see Steve next...and I'd honestly love to see that.

Well, let's face it - not to be weird etc.:cool: - but if anyone could pull off a retro Nomad costume, it'd be Evans. Not that every single person in these films isn't in stellar shape:horror. But Evans just has that V-frame - and anyway, I think they'd "modernize" the costume. I've seen variants of it in the comic art.

And I would be throwing money at HT to get a Bucky Cap and a Nomad Steve:drool. I fantasize about Falcon's wings being possibly upgraded to some sort of "stealth" wings all painted blue-black or something:drool. And what SW could look like, if they went w. the really wild hair of the some of the concept art.
 
I will avoid anything that is a redo with a different nameplate or a minor tweak. I'm mostly hoping for distinct looks and new characters. I'm sure there will be at least a couple of Iron Man suits. Steve Rodgers may have a different moniker than Captain America complete with an all new suit. Thor may have a new look following Ragnaok. Maybe Scarlet Witch will get a new costume and Quicksilver will be resurrected. We also know Captain Marvel will show up. While there might not be a high possible, it would be cool to see some surprise characters pop up like She Hulk (if an origin can be squeezed in somewhere) and Fantastic Four (if a deal could be struck with Fox).

Ditto. For myself, I don't need a slight variant of another Cap even tho love him. I need Quicksilver back IMO he was too good.
 
Honestly, I hope Mar-Vell will show up and Carol pops up still human and gets her powers in her own film. It'd be awesome to set up the Kree and Mar-Vell coming to Earth in Infinity War...unless they do the thing where Mar-Vell has already been on Earth spying on humans.
 
I am DYING for a superhero looking costume from SW. I am absolutely in love with Wanda/Liz Olsen
 
Still yet to pick up any Marvel Hot Toys (I'm mostly into Star Wars), but I really can't see myself getting any of these besides Thanos. The market is oversaturated with so many variants of Cap, Iron Man and likely Thor/ Hulk with Ragnarok to come. How many multiples of Hulk, Scarlett Witch, Hawkeye and Black Widow does one need?

I feel like they've cheapened out by never perfecting the likeness and face sculpts on $300 figures, to the point where I'm starting to gravitate towards statues.

I can't be the only one burnt out by so many poorly done Hot Toys to the point where I feel like they've lost their appeal am I? I guess I'm just going for a minimalist display these days, all I'm wanting is a flawless Thanos on Throne and a well done King Arts/ EFX/ Marvel Legends Infinity Gauntlet. Oh and the movie not to suck like the previous Avengers films.

Theres so many variations of Princess Leiah, Luke and Han too. Whats your point again?

Yeah not really unless 2 is a big number for you in the case of Han and Leia... Hot Toys definitely milks the Troopers like they do with the Ironman armors but I'm dumbfounded why we need 5+ Captain America's (multiples from the same films) yet they can't even get his face sculpt right? All the more power to you if you're a completionist but I'd prefer a Hot Toy with near flawless likeness like the Episode 7 Han over multiple Steve Rogers that look nothing like Chris Evans.

That's the point I'm trying to make, why should I be happy to shell out $300 for inferior figures that look nothing like their counterparts?

You shouldn't but i am and i think they are damn close to looking like their counterparts. I have 9 Captain America figs, 30 IM figs, several Jokers,2 soon to be 3 Han Solo's, etc and i'm having a great time. You sound like someone who really needs a new hobby. I still have friends come over to my place for the 1st time and see my collection and have to pick their jaw of the floor.
All they say is that looks just like........ and they literally stare at them. I'm still suprised sometimes at how well these come out. I never expect perfection just a nice representation of something i enjoyed on screen. Just my opinion.
 
How can you say the last Cap figures since TWS don't look like Chris Evans? Honestly talk about nitpicking, they're some of the best likenesses out there.
