I would still keep your hopes in check. Black Panther and other figures could be already existing versions thrown in. Also, just because we're seeing a blurry preview photo doesn't mean that it's going to be released.

To me it means the likely or the odds of the figure getting a release is a lot higher. And nothing is ever identical to a previous movie. There may be tiny changes, but changes all the same. If they weren't planning on releasing said blurry figures for this movie, then why add them to the background at all?
Why preview any of the figures/vehicles that they never end up releasing?

Those I presume are prototypes that they're attempting to produce but decide not to, like yellowjacket, for whatever reason; too many difficulties, not cost effective, who knows.
I would really like to see all of those as well. Have Star-Lord and Rocket from vol. 2 but I'm not interested in vol. 1 Drax or Gamora.
Exactly?

There a hundred different reasons. With Prof X and the first class line there where secondary approvals they did not know they had to get when they bought the license and that made it to expensive and time consuming.
With the 66 batmobile it was production issues.
With Yellowjacket it was/is production issues.
The the Falcon it was just a display piece.
Sometimes it’s approvals. Sometimes it’s other figures in the line just don’t sell well enough to justify the outlay for tens of thousands of dollars to get the tooling and approvals done. If, for example and not a specific instance, Batman from a certain film goes up for PO first, and they showed four or five other second and third tier characters on display..if that Batman doesn’t sell well the numbers say most of the other characters sell even less. Better to move on to another film that has the potential to sell more.
For a more specific example...if ultron prime and marionette ultron (forgot the name) don’t sell well ultron sentry wouldn’t be expected to sell better. So they move on to something else.
Also for like Rhino..if the Spider-Man does subpar, electro bombs, the chance that a 1000 dollar rhino does well is slim. So they scrap it.
It was a rhetorical question, Motux. I was saying that the same could happen with previewed/blurry figures from the IW teasers.
While I agree with the arm being to silver, I truely believe HT is gonna **** up his new arm no matter what coz I wanted them to do the arm justice and they probably won't just to piss me off.
Other than that it's IW Bucky. It's not the CW outfit but the IW one, blue vest with these shoulder thingies and brownish pants.

That Bucky probably isn't done. Seems similar to the early pics of IW Cap where it was clearly not done and they'd thrown something together but when you see IW Cap in shots now, he looks much better. I'm glad we're getting him though. He looks a bit better than CW Bucky who I passed on. I wanted the Winter Soldier one but was too late and it's now a bit too pricey for me.

I can hope tho
. That maybe he's being delayed re the *complexity* 'coz of all the details of arm, and plenty of seams and texture in the vest and pants. I'm thinking Bucky is gonna cost and I don't care instant PO. (Anyone know what the back clip is for - I think it's a knife sheath

I'm not posing Cap and Bucky w. now-famous/infamous butt shots tho except I might get a mirror for the shelf
Yeah, day one preorder for me too. if they **** up the arm I'll get it repainted. No way I'm settling for any less than that gorgeous gunmetal arm with golden seams.I can hope tho

He's definitely got one knife on his leg so no idea what the back clip is for but if it's for more knives, fine, the more the merrier.
Buck and knives is a match made in heaven and I'm glad the Russos give us or of that in IW (at least judging from Seb's training video).Maybe whenever Howard does an interview the idiot asking the questions should ask him why he insists on female characters getting rooted hair instead of the typical bs questions they ask.

THIS
Yeah, that was one *nit* I had re CW that it didn't make sense IMO that Bucky wouldn't have grabbed a knife or two from the Quinjet but guess the theory was Bucky was on home ground, with Cap, and knew what he was dealing with.
Really hoping for knife #2 just seems like the Winter Soldier/White Wolf would go into the field with back-up weapons. Tho I know part of his character arc is blending WS/Bucky. Caught that training vid OMG am so praying that makes the film
that was FREAKIN' BADASS and Seb's (fake) knife work is so hard and fast - he's GOOD.
I just hope the Russos feel the same re Bucky and knives being a match made in heaven. Anyway I've heard real fighters talk about how knives are one of the worst things to face and it's comic accurate re Bucky Barnes' history besides - doing things Cap wouldn't or couldn't. I'm convinced that trailer shot of Bucky exploding out of the bushes with the rifle is Bucky coming to back up Cap.

I love rooted hair if done right - Wanda, BW. I wish they would put out Bucky w. rooted hair for this one. My Roadworn Thor hair is a pain in the *** keeps getting stuck in the cloak.
If there's one thing I wouldn’t wanna go against in a 1 on 1 it's knives, if the opponent knows how to use them. Kali knife fighting can be scary as hell and every move is brutal. And seeing how Buck has chosen to have at least one knife on him again gives me lots of hope. I mean, he's trained in that fighting style, why not use it for something good?
So I hope we get clearer images of IW Buck soon so he can finally have his own thread.
