Meanwhile, that seller has some of the highest prices I've ever seen from a grey-market seller...$45 for a Retaliation Firefly?

those are unpolishable turds

I usually stay away from these superhero figures, but I'm quite impressed with that Red Skull. What's the best Capt. America figure to pair him against?

Frankly, 'best' isn't really applicable to any 18th Cap fig I'm aware of. 'Goodest' is more like what you should expect.

I dunno, he was a bit bulkier than in the movie but I really enjoyed the movie Cap toy from the first movie's toyline.

Winter Soldier body would make an interesting Mercer V2.

But can it *move* like Cap?

I posted my (negative) thoughts about the new Winter Soldier figure in another thread, but since that was someone else's review thread, I decided to post my pictures in this thread.

Like I said, my main issue with the figure is the size. Articulation isn't really any worse than we've seen before (ie. no ankles, wrists, or torso) but he has a pea head, and the figure just seems WAY to small.
As you can see, he is about hte same size as the Wolverine figures, which are suppose to be small. So unless WS is 5'3" tall in the movie, then the figure is under sized.

And yes, that is a DCIH Joker that is taller than him in the last picture.

....huh.

If they're DCIH-scale I might have use for them as fodder in my DCIH collection. Articulation'd be pretty much on par with most of em, give or take a waist joint.
Are there any more planned? Or is it just Cap, Soldier and Skull?

So far all that has turned up are the two Caps (new one and repaint of the Avengers version), Red Skull, and Winter Soldier.

Based on the Thor Dark World toy line, I don't expect any more figures from this line, either.
I guess Toy Fair will tell us for sure though.

I'm holding out hope that we'll end up getting a CA2 Black Widow and a Falcon (pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease).

Grabbed the unmasked Cap, Winter Soldier and Red Skull today.

Picked up 2 Red Skulls, mostly for customs, but it's still a pretty cool figure overall. (here he is pictured with my other three Red Skulls...four different RS figs since 2009, hmmm)

6 Skull figures if you count the Target exclusive 2 pack and green comic book repaints in the First Avenger line.

The head on the new RS figure actually surprised me. It's a completely new sculpt. While the colors are worse than the previous movie version, I like the sculpt more. A little ink wash should go a long way to improving it though.
