wow I'm really interested, I hope these end up looking good. It's always great that another company is doing 1:4 scale, they can fill in the characters that sideshow is missing. This gives me hope of getting a 1:4 Luke Cage to complete my soon to be 1:4 New Avengers

 

[rabid_wolf]

could be very interesting, figures of that size

 

[Sachiel]

Yeah... just as interesting as the Star Wars ones.

 

[Grange Wallis]

Pray for a new buck body!!!

 

[meanstreak]

I have a feeling these will be just as ____ty as the Indy Jones and SW ones

I remember seeing a partial pic of Deadpool and Captain America from ToyFair I think. The person wasn't supposed to be taking pix so it was of a partial leg or something. Glad to hear these are starting to be listed.

The little bits you can see look awful. Most of what I could say was already covered in the comments, but the loose, pajama-ish way the costumes hang make them look like 1/4 scale Megos.

And damn, what's with Rhodes' PCP eyes on that figure?

 

[Demimatt]

man 50 bucks for an 18 inch figure....the price to size ratio does not equate to me. I think these will be a step below the DCU 13 inch figures but I mean even those have an MSRP of 80-90 bucks so I mean...for 50 bucks...what can you get?

Gonna pass on this one. Maybe Captain America will be better?

I think they made a good choice starting with Deadpool. Apparently, he's insanely popular. Doesn't look that great (keep in mind that DST is one of the worst companies I've ever seen at taking attractive promotional pictures), but as Demimatt says, it's a pretty dang good value. If the Cap looks half-way decent, I'll get him.

I love Deadpool, and haven't actually found much of his merch to be appealing. If he wasn't wearing pajamas, this figure would be halfway decent. But this is a huge pass.

The Mego line is exactly what popped into my head from what you can see. While I'm hoping for the best, I'm not expecting it.

exactly what i thought... crap.

Yeah, you shouldn't expect Hot Toys with these. Mego-esque is about the most you could hope for. But if MSRP is $50, that ain't at all bad for a toy that size.

I wouldnt say its a pretty dang good value, but more like...your getting alot for the price (and not in a good way). A def pass for me, I mean for the price you cant expect much so yeah.

Looks like junk

 

[Sachiel]

Just like all their other 18" figures.
