Captain America Civil War: Figure Discussion

[kurisuchie2kimi]

I still have a lot of doubt that

Spoiler

SW's death will happen in CW. It's possible of course, but I think unlikely. Unless killing one of their two female heroes is what they consider the "controversial ending." It sure as heck would be, and a lot of people wouldn't be happy. It would be such a waste - especially since the general audience hasn't had much time to get attached to her. I have to hold out hope that the Russo's aren't like Whedon, killing merely for shock value. I think the death needs to affect both sides of the conflict. Sure, Wanda's death would affect Vision and probably Natasha. But Tony? Rhodey? T'Challa? Peter? There's not as much emotional connection between Team Stark and SW.

Anyway, I'm not sure how trustworthy those rumors are. I guess we'll know in a few weeks

Spoiler

There would be SO MUCH backlash if they killed Wanda off. There was enough backlash like someone mentioned over BruceNat in AoU, and people complaining it butchered Natasha's character, but if they killed off Wanda? People would flip their lids. Solid female representation is minimal in the MCU so far as it is, if they killed off one of their female superheroes (especially with us only just getting a second woman in the main team in the first place) the Russo's would be burnt at the stake.

I really hope that isn't the case because TWS was one of the best MCU films, if the Russo's "Do a Whedon" and follow it up with something that is tolerable, but has that one thing that people despise about the film (eg: SW dying) it wouldn't bode well with a lot of fans at all, especially with them locked in for IW. Faith would drop drastically. Just look what happened to Whedon.

That cutout picture of Agent 13 gives me a Mockingbird vibe.

Exactly! I just can't see Marvel allowing the Russo's to do that, even if they had wanted to. Like you said, the backlash would be immediate and enormous.

I don't think the rumor even needs to be in spoilers. There's nothing to support it. There's a far more obvious reason Scarlet Witch is featured more heavily than Sharon in the trailers and that's that she has a bigger role or they just wanted to focus more on the superpowered characters.

I can agree with that. Rumors are merely rumors. Trailers are more of a "spoiler" than a rumor.

New TV spot.

Thanks for the spoiler tag! I'm hellbent on not watching any more of the movie until it's out.

I REALLY hope that Hot Toys gives us an Agent 13 figure. I know it is a long shot,
but considering that we got Maria Hill, I guess there is always a slim chance.

 

[bransen2099]

I'm also one for hoping to get a Agent 13 figure

Same here! I would really like a figure of her.

I took some pictures of the 1st series of minimates for u guys

& for those wondering about a hot toys vision(how has he changed from AoU?). I suppose he's "older" & has a more wrinkled/defined face? haha

I need to get my hands on the Bucky/Cap Minimates set. They look great! Haven't found them online yet, though. Only the whole set seems to be up for order at most places.

Comparing these to hot toys doesn't really work... Also I wouldn't consider the new one "older" looking, i'd consider the AoU version to be incorrect (lack of facial features), and the CW version to be the way he should look.

If they don't make her, I'm going to skip out on the figures minus Scarlet Witch.

If they do make her, I'll get her, Cap, WS and Scarlet Witch.

Honestly, I could see them skipping Sharon. I guess it depends. Is there any real demand for her?

Vision always had all those lines on his face. It's just that they didn't bother putting them on the mini-mates until recently.

Thus far there seems to be no discernible difference between his AOU and Civil War costumes.

 

[Motuxmen]

Then you have not looked close. I've seen a half dozen differences. In the 10 seconds of footage we have so far. throw in the tie and wing tips and it's really closer to a dozen differences (joke...since he wears a business suit in the film)

There's gold accents the Aou doesn't have, there's additional red coloring in the suit, the collar has two places where it's different color...

Then you have not looked close.

If there's any difference that requires deep analysis to notice then it's negligible.

 

[Sidewinder]

I doubt I'd buy Sharon, I'm just not a fan of the actress. Didn't like her on Everwood and she practically ruined Brother's and Sister's when they brought her character in.

I wish there was a better love interest for Cap than Sharon.

 

[meanstreak]

I'd buy Agent 13, she along with Black Panther would be new additions and not a remade character. I think HT making her depends on how large her role in the film turns out to be.

I like the actress too.
