Avengers is too important to just phone it in. If HT dream team of sculptors isn't working on Avengers Ultron, then what the hell are they working on? This is their flagship license, it deserves their best work. Just look at Hulk Buster, you know this has their full attention. The fact that they're already showing stuff before 2015 is pretty surprising. Clothing and Mechanical Armors can be churned out quickly. You don't have to worry about the 'likeness' of mechanical parts. But head sculpts of human faces take time to produce. Its trial and error and it can't be rushed just for some random Expo. They used the old sculpts cause they wanted everything to look perfect for the big debut and they were not gonna put out headless figures or unpainted heads. Also you're all forgetting that the characters in this movie will have different appearances than they did in the first movie. Hair style, beards, battle damage, expressions. Old sculpts might not even match. I know Cap's hair is totally different- because I hate it.
Yeah IM3 sucked, good thing HT pulled the plug on that line before wasting money on throw away characters with almost no screen time, that only a small percentage of fans would even recognize. That would've been a disaster for them, the whole company might've gone under
There's a part of me that hopes this movie sucks, because I really love these designs, and I don't want to add "Age of Ultron" figures to my already huge backlog of "things I need to pick up before I die."
