Mystery Man Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) These looks superb! And I Every time I've looked at that tray picture I keep getting the thought that the rifle with the Hydra Elite would be perfect for Trapster/Paste Pot Pete I agree. Or that old "icing gun" from the Chef Duff 'mate. Anything to get Trapster! These look superb. Makes a classic Falcon even more desirable to me (and as it is, I'm bleeding from the eyes to get one).

MisterMiracle Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) I'm digging that Winter Soldier! Couple questions about this wave: 1. When did Hydra start wearing capes? 2. Is that Red Skull head a slip on mask or an alternate head? If it's a slip on mask (like it appears to be), how will it fit over that other head and stay put?

Nessex Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 This is a Hydra Elite... so i think that means he's a step above 'regular hydra good'. I suspect he's the leader of a squad/division/army of hydra goons. The cape is removable so that you can have him as a regular Hydra soldier. Really, I think DST wanted a way to re-release an updated Hydra army builder without re-making the exact same figure. I'm actually pretty happy that we're getting them. I could use more variation in my Hydra squad As for the slip on mask... i'm not sure how that one works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I think the control art had a note about the head having a hole so that the mask peg would fit into it. The Hydra Elite seem to be a good match for the various characters that have gone by the title Supreme Hydra; I have to think that's what DST was going for despite the name.

Nessex Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Ahhhhh - Supreme Hydra! I was having trouble finding pictures of 'Hydra Elite' from the comics ... now i know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I believe the Hydra was based on a guard-type, I'll see if I can get some reference. And there is a hole in the top of the robot head, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to be turning my Hydra Supreme or Elite or Deluxe or whatever they're called into just regular Hydra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Do we have any idea what is under the slip cover mask? Will it be a tampo'd Hydra mask, or a generic face? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fwoosheyman Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 The Hydra Elite showed at SDCC had either an extra head or it was showing the tampo underneath was a normal hydra soldier head. The control art does not show an extra head or a hydra soldier tampo. Control Art link Can't tell from the tray shots if it's the normal face from the control art or the hydra soldier face. Zach can you let us know which it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) First comes control art, THEN comes prototypes, then comes product! (Actually, the one on the left is an early paint sample, so it's a little glossy, and the tampo is off.)
