Scyla Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 That Captain America will look awesome on my MvC shelf. And new Marvel releases mean that the hope is alive that the will complete the X-Men teams they started. Quote
Mommar Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 I don't know about hope they'll complete anything yet. They're deviating in weird ways with the X-Men. Jean looks great but we don't have any of that team, really. More AoA is cool but Magneto, Wolverine and Cyke don't go together in that world really (Wolvie and Cyke look incredible compared to the half-assed trash Hasbro put out.) No sign of more Blue/Gold which we're the furthest in on. Iceman, Beast and Archangel would have made the most sense to show given they would cover both Blue/Gold and X-Factor teams. Quote

Yeah I agree with you that the shown figures don’t male much sense to me. Still my fear was that they wouldn’t release any more Marvel characters since we had no new announcements recently. So even if they are not the figures I would want fist, I’m glad that they are continuing the line. Edited July 21, 2023 by Scyla Quote

I think if their production were faster I'd be less irritated with their odd deviations, especially considering how they just keep rolling along on the DC side with everything from Hush and Return of Superman. We know they're capable of filling out rosters. Quote
troyness Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 Wow! Thanks for the Spiderman 2099 Mafex I like the masked head of Cap. Not sure about the gritted teeth and unmasked heads. Are they re-releasing Hush Batman...or just displaying previous releases from the Mafex line? Quote
lechuck Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) Phoenix and Captain America already up for pre-order. https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-157341 https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-157342 https://www.hlj.com/mafex-captain-america-comic-ver-medmafex-217 https://www.hlj.com/mafex-phoenix-comic-ver-medmafex-218 Edit: Also I can't help it, I keep seeing Jean Grey wearing a Zeon uniform. 😄 Edited July 23, 2023 by lechuck Quote
Mommar Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 What does shipping from hlj look like these days? Also does hlj allow for paying in yen now? It displays all items in usd for me. Quote
sh9000 Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 You can change the currency at the bottom of page. These are my shipping options for shipping 1 Mafex figure by itself. Quote
Mommar Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 Apparently off in the corner there was an Age of Apocalypse Nate Grey they showed too. Quote
Tking22 Posted August 22, 2023 Posted August 22, 2023 Interesting, it's stated as a "First Avenger" Cap, but it's not even that suit, it's the slightly updated "Museum" suit from Winter Soldier. Quote
Mommar Posted August 23, 2023 Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) Presumably they didn't notice the difference. I know I didn't outside of the fact I think the blue is too bright. ...and looking up the differences now I see why I think the color is too bright. The WS museum one is a brighter color. Too bad they got the costumes mixed up. Edited August 23, 2023 by Mommar Quote

Too bad they got the costumes mixed up. I really like the First Avenger costume so if this were those colors I would probably bite, as-is, like you said, it's a bit too bright. I also really wanted Bandai to put out that Figuarts Star Spangled Man Cap, but that was just another prototype that will never see the light of day. Quote
Mommar Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 Looks like Medicom listened to feedback about the colors and updated their website pics (also they're aware this is the museum piece because their website has this branded as The Winter Soldier and not First Avenger.) Absolutely sold on it now. 2 Quote
Tking22 Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 Yeah that Cap looks much better, definitely grabbing one now. Quote
Big s Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 I don’t like the face without the mask, I have no idea who that was modeled after, but it definitely looks good if you never use that head and I’m definitely tempted Quote

Which is crazy because I think the Robert Pattison just below that looks kind of good, both head sculpts are fairly solid on that release. Maybe the couldn't get the okay on Evan's likeness so they went with a mostly "generic" Cap unmasked head. Quote
Mommar Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 I think the problem is the gritted teeth. The cheek bones are slightly off. Their unmasked Endgame and Infinity War heads look fine. Quote
sh9000 Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Black Adam. Daredevil. Edited October 23, 2023 by sh9000 Quote
Negotiator Posted October 25, 2023 Author Posted October 25, 2023 Hmm wonder if they'll release a beefed up cavil superman from black adam. Quote
sh9000 Posted November 22, 2023 Posted November 22, 2023 Hush Riddler. Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight. Quote
sh9000 Posted November 27, 2023 Posted November 27, 2023 Robocop Renewal Version. Robocop 2 Renewal Version. Quote
sh9000 Posted December 23, 2023 Posted December 23, 2023 Hush Scarecrow. Black Panther with Throne. Quote
Mommar Posted December 23, 2023 Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) I'm hoping, since they're doing EVERY single character who ever appeared in Hush, that they'll get around to doing the entire Justice League from Superman Returns. Edited December 23, 2023 by Mommar Quote
Mommar Posted January 24 Posted January 24 It looks good but I wish someone would do the mk 2 stealth armor instead. Quote
