Honestly the main problem with Taskmaster's costume for me is entirely the mask. It's gotta be a full-on skull. Whether stylized like the Udon one or realistic like classic, it's gotta be a full-on skull. Not this "goggles with a skull mouth" thing they've got going on with him. Having the hood up definitely will help make him look better, but he really should have a full-on skull.

Remember, they AREN'T making the films for the fanboys. The REAL money comes from the casual filmgoer. They see a Skeletor-looking doofus in a cape and hood, and they are gonna say Marvel jumped the shark. Same reason M'Baku wasn't running around in a monkey costume, Scarlet Witch doesn't wear little red lingerie to battle, and Gamora in a fishnet body suit.

Im willing to wager man ape not being man apey had more to do with potentially offending people than anything else.

I, for one, applaud the change. Taskmaster's comics costume looks ridiculous. It's something someone would throw together out of whatever was left over at a Halloween store, not the outfit of a feared master criminal/assassin/operative. MCU costume looks like a workable covert operative costume. It's definitely more ominous looking. Straight out of a spy novel description.

I'm tired of seeing super villains wear realistic tacticle gear and plain clothes. I want to see villains wearing costumes. If they wear a costume in the comics, they should be wearing the same costume in the movies/TV series.

No real argument from me, as long as it looks good. I’m sold on figures from this movies, especially if rumors pan out that comics Ursa Major is the Build-A-Figure.

Hasbro is just along for the ride with Marvel. Other than preproduction art used to make the first wave of figures for a movie, I don't think Hasbro gets anything else to go on. Marvel is very tight-lipped about things. The similarities between Cap and Red have more to do with connecting the two in the minds of viewers than making things easier for Hasbro. I wouldn't be surprised if it still requires a major retooling anyway. While similar, there are still quite a number of differences, including bulk.

As I recall the only ones we've got confirmed are Cosmic Ghost Rider and Squirrel Girl.

It’s strongly rumored, if unconfirmed. Maybe Toy Fair. I could also go for a new classic Valkyrie with a Pegasus, and Crystal with Lockjaw (she doesn’t actually ride him, but who cares).

Definitely. I'm worried that the only other way Hasbro would do Lockjaw is as a BAF and even then I'm not sure how'd they pull that off.

Would love both of these! The only disappointment would be that the Pegasus & Lockjaw figures would probably have very limited articulation or even more than likely they'd just be static figurines. |

Am I the only one who noticed in the Black Widow trailer that at the dinner table scene Yelena is wearing the same black and green vest Nat has in Infinity War?? Since this is a pre Infinity story, I wonder if Yelena gets killed and Nat takes the vest and goes blond as a way to honor her or something. I would not mind a reason behind her look in Infinity. I always chalked it up to her just looking different cause Steve was wanted and he grew a beard so she had to look different too. I would also not be surprised if there is a credit scene with bearded Cap also.

Hey, those of y'all who got a replacement Family Matters pack due to various issues back when it first came out: how did you go about asking for one? What is Amazon's minimum burden of issue for actually sending a replacement, and what proof do you need to send them?

...Wow, that's lax. So since they give you 30 days to send it back, you can basically get the second one, swap between them for the best versions of different parts, and then send back the worse set?

Plus it'd be amusing if the best Hasbro Widow figure (the only one that doesn't fall over when a breeze hits it thanks to poor feet choices) turned out not to be one of Natasha. I'm still tempted to buy another Infinity War Natasha so I can pop one of the Target Endgame heads on her and take the vest off. |

Or we could find that Infinity War Widow wasn't Natasha. We've already seen Widow using the false face hologram tech in the second cap film.

No interest in MCU figures but I’m hoping that the BW movie raises Yelena’s profile to the point where we actually get a comic figure of her, in the same outfit as the MS figure, and not just an alternate head for Natasha.

Loved the trailer for Black Widow. I'm very excited for the future of the MCU, and this trailer is a step in the right direction. The overall feel, the stand alone aspect, and decision to scale back after all of the world ending events in Phase 3 is what I was hoping for.
As far as the Marvel Legends, if the rumors are true and we are getting Natasha (Black Costume, and White Costume), Yelena, Alexei, and Taskmaster, that seems like a solid wave of figures for me. I was hoping we would get a Civil War or Endgame Black Widow, but I'm a patient man. I have hope we will see them down the road. |
