Union Jack is back in his classic UNion Jack costume- (just as the carded MU fig depicts) and kicking ass.

That Union Jack with shoulder pads was the Pendragon costume...which was fine...but lets not show the godawful Alan Davis design from the mid-90''s second Knights Of Pendragon series....way to destroy amazing idea.

Doom/Sbsorbing Man/Wasp was there too- that's usually the tough one to find- it's a superior Doom to the carded version.

my SW doom was all wonky. His legs are floppy.

Floopt as in loose? There's the 'ol Super Glue Trick to tighten loose joints- works great!
I had to do that with almsot ever Cap line figure- the SDCC repop in particular had the weakest knees of any fig I've ever bought!
If worst comes to worst, you coud swap out Ultron's legs as they're identical.

Kinda sad because there is a better costume for union jack they coulda used, the current offering is just sub par

This is how Cap Britain should be remembered, and the MU version captured it awesomely.

And this is the Union Jack that they should have made, not that ugly costume short squaty leg version Hasbro sprung on us. I've been mostly happy with what hasbro was doing, but they missed the mark on Union Jack]

yeah, but they were going for WW2 union jack.

It's the same costume he wears now though- ya gotta keep it classic in Marvel, baby!
Just give him a machine gun and he's as modern as you like.

bmorr · 11-17-2011, 06:07 PM

that trading card from the last page is clearly NOT his original costume. not even close. But there is a union jack still running around with a similar costume to the original.

afgoosett · 11-17-2011, 06:16 PM

Pretty damn mad went to TRU earlier tonight and they had a buttload of Tony Starks which means they had the new wave and I fucking missed getting a Magneto and Ice Man. DAMN IT!!!

Anyway I ran by Target omw home and found me a Jessica Drew Spider Woman I've been needing for my Avengers line up and I also found an upside down Scarlet Spider with the Spider Man base and a Renegades Snake Eyes so I guess the trip wasn't a total waste.

no, I mean...

Okay, it's like this:
Joey Chapman is the current Union Jack.
He fiest wore his predecessor's WWII costume, then got imbued with the Pendragon force and got that version from the ttrading card there, then (mis 90's) Alan Davis started smoking crack and made this terrible thing with big goggles...and now he's back to the original costume but with a blue that's almost black (matching the MU figure perfectly).

SO all the crazy alternate outfits are from the same guy at diffrent times- I'm happy he's back to a classic look as the one from the card looks like a Captain Britan sidekick- which Joes is anything but!

ok well maybe his classic costume is better, but it doesnt change the fact that the MU figure of him looks like hot garbage
