youbastards Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Man, I would LOVE to see some tie-in exclusive boxsets at NYCC and SDCC. Maybe a movie themed boxset and a 616 themed set. I really wish DST would widen their product windows by a few months, especially after a movie is proven critically and commercially successful. Imagine a 616 boxset with all the vibrant colors and details of the Best of Waves: - Captain America (Classic costume, hell reissue the Best of version) - Classic Falcon - Classic Black Widow (ala Champions but with comic style yellow details instead of gold) - Updated Sterenko era Nick Fury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Classic Red Falcon, or FA Green Falcon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Classic red, but I'd love a FA green costume too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbofett Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Finally saw the movie. Awesome. My favorite of the three post Avengers movies. Can't wait for the mates. Will be making quite a few customs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I don't think there's enough left from the movie to carry a boxset. Sure, you could come up with four characters to fill the slots but it's not like there were any glaring omissions in the wave we're getting. I'd be surprised if we were to see more comic-based Cap minimates too since 54 had the theme pretty well covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidman911 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 When is this wave supposed to arrive in stores? A month after the movie or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I am guessing it will be April 23rd or 30th, since Zach only got his samples very recently, and it is usually a month out from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Cap - shield uniform Cap - new style cap uniform Winter soldier Black widow Falcon Sharon carter/agent 13 Pierce(Redford) possibly with a "revealed" head/mask Zola or nick fury or Crossbones Its fun to look back in this thread and see all the early speculation and how it compares to the actual info now that the movie/wave is revealed. I got 5 of the 8(even though Zach mistakingly said 4,and 6 if my guess of crossbones counted) and never would have thought(and still don't think it was the right call) we would get Sitwell over Pierce. who would have thought Batroc would have(though only slightly)the larger role over agent 13.

winkerbean Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I would have taken a Senator Stern over Sitwell also Senator Sterns did look like he was having some sort of allergic reaction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I think I didn't count Matt's guess of a "new style" uniform because it was technically Cap's old uniform, but I guess the Minimate is new. And I think he added Crossbones in an edit after I'd responded, leading to a lot of clarification on my part, but I would have given it to him, for sure. I solicited the figure as Crossbones, but they said we couldn't call him that. I also remember arguing that Zola wasn't in the movie, and someone arguing that of course he was, he was on Imdb. Now, you can see what I meant about him not existing, since he wasn't physically present in the film. But I hope we eventually get to make a Toby Jones Zola. Sorry if any of my reluctance to confirm plot details struck a nerve with anybody. I signed an NDA, so I probably shouldn't have played the game at all.

MisterPL Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Regarding Zola's look and Cap's uniform: I'd be happy with a computer monitor Zola. And Cap's WWII uniform is slightly different from the first one but I can chalk that up to The Smithsonian getting one of his other suits. I'm just glad he didn't grab the USO outfit that was probably on display elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries Zach, I think we all understand the rules you must play by, none of my comments were meant as any disrepect or complaining. Like I said its fun to look back and see how close we got, at least it is to me. also just as a fun "fact" techinically the WWII style uniform that Cap dons in the movie is new as the design has changed slightly from the TFA one note the extra red stripe in the center of his Tummy and other slight changes, in movie this is explained as when cap was lost/frozen he was still wearing his uniform hence it was probably destroyed after 70 years on ice, so for the Museum collection his suit was recreated "as closely" as possible, in the real world I think the studio wanted to make the changes to bring it slightly closer to the comic uniform.

Nessex Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Damn, Matt - they are nice. You've picked a great face for Redford & the perfect hair for Carter. I love the greying at the temples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) Credit for the choice of head on Pierce goes to YouBastards, who used it on his Quick custom, I went with a different hair choice though.

undeadpool Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 the way i rationalize it is, Cap was lost at sea IN his uniform, so the one in the Smithsonian is a replica (same goes for Bucky) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Why wouldn't they pay more attention to detail when putting a replica together, though? It isn't like they didn't have loads of reference material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stack32 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 It probably has something to do with the fact that 99% of the audience didn't notice a difference or care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
