I really only have room to have one version of a particular character on display at any given time, so I have a thing for finding what I think is a good representation of a character across the board - their standard "look."
Yea, that's my strategy with only a few exceptions. This is what I got so far:
Captain America: TFA, AOU.
Iron Man: Diecast MarkIII, Mark33 Silver Centurion, Arc Construction Tony, Diecast MarkVI on preorder
Thor: AOU (love bare arm comic look)
Hulk: Avengers (love the classic ripped pants)
Black Widow: Winter Soldier
Hawkeye: AOU
Vision: AOU
Scarlet Witch: AOU (NA version)
War Machine: Mk2 AOU, Mk3 CW on waitlist preorder (will sell MK2 if waitlist converts)
Spider-Man: Spider-Man 3 Red and Blue Sam Rami version
I feel pretty good about all the versions I have picked to represent each character in their "standard" look.
I'll get Black Panther with his solo movie and I'll wait to see a prototype before deciding if I want another Spiderman.
...Captain America to replace AOU Cap.
Yea, I understand that the articulation is much better, but I like the white sleeves and magnetic shield of the AOU version. So they both have advantages and disadvantages so I didn't see it as an "upgrade" in all areas so I stayed with that I had. I think either is a great version though.
I'm just going for one version of each character and don't care if they are from different movies, and so far the CW versions of everyone look best to me.
yea, me too, except I just happened to ended up with more AOU versions and I am happy with the look of those versions. I'd love to hear from those who are more movie specific in their collecting and get a whole team from any or each film instead of mixing and matching like you and I do.
Well, despite my original plan to only get Cap and Bucky ... I find myself in the situation where I've preordered not only those two but also Falcon and will most likely get Hawkeye too. T_T Basically, I need my Team Cap. I'm happy with my AoU Wanda and my original Ant-Man so I'm not gonna get their CW versions. They'll still look great with the others.
I wonder how many people are collecting and will display their figures in terms of "Team Cap" and/or "Team Iron Man"?
