Captain America Civil War: Figure Discussion

[BagginsOfBagEnd]

As of now, yeah, I prefer the AoU one too. But all Caps (and eventual Winter Soldiers) must be bought.

 

[Edub]

I guess I'm the only one that likes Cap 3. I think it looks good. And I like the boots on it a lot more then the tennis shoes on AOU and always removing the white at least to me looks more bad a**

Tennis shoes? What're you talking about? In AoU Cap's wearing Magnum Mach I boots with custom gaiters, and btw those were the same Magnums he wore in TWS and probably will be the same boots he's wearing in CW. Only the gaiters changed between movies.

You know, if either came out first, i'd probably love whatever came out first. Well i'm just so damn used to the AOU suit now with all the extra **** on his chest and I do like the white on the biceps. I MIGHT get CW Cap.

Either way the gaiters look better in TWS then in AOU

Lights in the abs? It's going to be interesting to see what the articulation will be like.

 

[Brainiac]

Wonder if those lights are cameras

Got a new picture of the Mark 46.

It's rumored to be made up of nano machines that Tony mentally controls so it really seems they're going full on Bleeding Edge here. And it looks much better from this angle. I like the helmet now.

It looks better than the Mark 45.

 

[CatWoman'sPenPal]

It's not a decision I take lightly. I've already got the Mark 7 Stealth coming in, and I only want to have one red/gold Iron Man figure in my collection. Having one red/gold and one off-color Iron Man is my way of sidestepping my "one figure per character" rule. The Mark 3 is my favorite movie armor so far, but this look at the 46 is making me seriously rethink that. It's taken over the 43's place as "the Mark 3 alternative."

Although another option is to get the Mark 3, then re-evaluate things when the 46 figure is released/announced.

Yes I wouldn't skip on the Mark III diecast... it's basically the most essential Iron Man armor to have in your collection.

I think I prefer the AoU Cap suit to this new one. I just like the white on the arms better for some reason.

 

[Brainiac]

I don't like that its only a minor change

Perhaps he'll get a new suit later in the movie

But come on, how much better can they make the suit? It's already perfect!

I think Cap 3 suit looks slightly better then the Avengers suit. But I only need/want one Cap and don't plan on waiting 2 years, so Avengers Cap it is!

 

[Mark 45]

Now that would have been a good conversation post Iron Man 1..

"Wow man, did you see that movie? I'm so getting a Hot Toys MkIII...."

"Nah man, just wait until Infinity War 2 and get a Mk51.."

It's a bit like the whole cliche of wanting to buy a Receiver or Amplifier, but waiting for the next generation of features... But tech upgrades that quickly, that you wait and something better comes along while you are waiting anyway.. Enjoy your hobby now. You never know if there will be a tomorrow, and it becomes yesterday really fast...

Damn. that was deep.

I think that's the right decision. I actually like avengers 2 cap better. Seems like more of a definitive suit than the new one. not enough white on civil war cap but still cool.

That's why I'm wavering. Lack of red on the chest is nice but those arms...

Some people would disagree (Marks 4, 6, or 7), but I'm in agreement with you there.

Can't say I like it. Can't say I don't...
If the movie is good I'll probably buy the figure.

On a different note, did anyone else notice that the Iron Man and Cap suits both have the same X-design across their chests? Iron Man's crosses in the chest reactor, and Cap's crosses in the star. It felt at place for Iron Man, but it stood out when looking at Cap's outfit. I can't help but feel like that similarity's intentional (for story reasons)... maybe it's the new unified Avengers outfit theme (before the fallout)?

Gimme the chainmail!

If the aou cap ht figure is anything to go buy you can swap out the aou chest piece and use the new cw cap chest piece. The chest area is like a vest on the ht figures to increase articulation. So you need both to form the ultimate cap. Heh. I said it.
