Just got an email from the Marvel store this morning on these figures which came as a complete surprise as I've never seen them before (?)
Looks like only Cap and Widow are available now, but with real soft good outfits, effects parts, and interchangeable hands and weapons they remind me of the Mezco 1:12 figures. Here's Cap: Marvel Ultimate Series Captain America Premium Action Figure - 11 1/2'' | Toys | Marvel Shop And Widow: Marvel Ultimate Series Black Widow Premium Action Figure - 10'' H | New | Marvel Shop

If you try to add one to your cart it says they are not available for purchase yet (on BW, it will let you with Cap)

I added both to my cart with no trouble. Even got to check out before I cancelled it.

Seems on par with the 11 inch She-Ra line from Mattel. Where did 11 inch detailed clothed figures come from outta no where. (that aren't meant to be Barbie like)

On the premium side of things like these, there is typically a decent collectors market for them. I'm not so sure on the overlap with superheroes, but previous classic films have done stuff like this and sold fairly well to high end collectors.
Curious what the sales data on these will reflect, or if that's what Disney/Marvel is testing too in comparison to their own Prince and Princess versions. I know the presidential line ones, and even the classic cinema ones did well enough for other companies. Expanding the market is a good thing though overall. The more variety of merchandise that moves, proves popularity across all collector mediums, means more merchandise and funds for more merchandise and larger forays later. |

Not quite to my liking, but I'd certainly grab the right character or two.

Well at least Disney has remembered people want Widow merchandise, unlike Mezco etc. I wonder how crippling international shipping would be.

Wow, Nat has got some major Aeon Flux hair going on! As a Black Widow fan I really want to like it, but I'm not big on the rooted hair. Though I am glad that younger fans, boys and girls alike, can both get this figure and love it. It's also good to see a Widow figure making it out first in a new series.

These figures aren't the best especially considering the price point

Snagged a Widow. Not bad in hand but I think I'll pass on Cap.
