New Cap Wave in Target!?

quinten182 · 08-01-2011, 01:31 PM

Title says it all.. walked into Target today and picked up this lot right here.
They had the Jungle and Jet Pack Caps too, but... yeah. Not for me. :P

Nexodusrex · 08-01-2011, 01:54 PM

I went to my target, picked up 3 troopers and an extra crossbones for any who needs one

quinten182 · 08-01-2011, 02:18 PM

I left the crossbones in my target. I recently returned one because it sat on my shelf and no one needed it. :x

felks22us · 08-01-2011, 02:25 PM

I noticed that hydra solider has crappy paint app's , stop be from geting one extra one , but I will still get a few more of them .

The comic two-pack with Bucky Cap/Crossbones and Winter Soldier/Cap is available @ my local target.

quinten182 · 08-01-2011, 03:10 PM

They are available at every target. I haven't NOT seen it at a target. The red skull and pajama pants cap are fully loaded up as well.

Ive just started to see this wave at my local targets but all thats ever left is the jungle cap and flying cap. Im only looking for the hydra's from this wave. Not interested in the 2 packs at all.

jamesmruddy · 08-01-2011, 04:28 PM

The hunt is on. Maybe this week.....

No rush. Another 2 months before it reaches Canada I bet, and I won't even buy them at the 9.99 price tag. Wait for clearance and be happy with what I can get, if any.

Reaver Strike · 08-01-2011, 05:00 PM

I saw all the new Cap stuff as well. I think this Target had just done it's reset.

Boba Fettuccini · 08-01-2011, 05:30 PM

I'll try to get out and check mine soon. I doubt I'll get anything though, I've yet to find a single store around here that gets wave II of anything but new Star Wars lines.

Speaking of which I FINALLY found your namesake at retail. Couldn't believe it.

Got back from Target today with the Captain America & Winter Soldier Target exclusive two-pack (also picked up a power charge Rhino from the Spider-Man line on sale). The Targets I hit had lots of exclusive two-packs (both), the concept series with cosmic cube Red Skull, and plenty of figures.

This is, in my opinion, the best Cap yet in the 3.75 scale BUT there is still lots of room for improvement. I hate Ultimate Cap. The Caps in the Klaw and Wolverine two-packs have tiny heads. This Cap looks to be a repaint, with better apps, of the heavy artillery Cap which is a disappointment due to poor articulation.

I don't know why it is so hard for Hasbro to give us a classic Cap (winged cowl, swashbuckler boots) that actually has decent articulation. Cap is a pretty agile fellow and I'd like to pose him punching and kicking and shield slinging against goons.

Oh well, new figures for Daredevil, Punisher, and the Hulk (all in classic costumes) gives me hope they'll make a proper Cap someday.

I found two at a redneck Walmart in nowhereville USA, one silver foil variant card. Since then, I've only found him once. Disappointing!

Anyway, back on topic.

If anyone isn't finding this stuff at their Target, make sure you walk about five aisles down from the TF/Marvel figure aisle and check the end Cap (by the baby blocks and shit). The set up is is usually in front of electronics. I probably didn't notice it a few times I was there because I usually don't check out the baby toys and dolls aisle, which is where these fools put the display.

siekone · 08-02-2011, 10:57 AM

I think those are shit

deadpool · 08-02-2011, 04:00 PM

Lucky there are no Captain amerca figs in New Zealand.

Boba Fettuccini · 08-02-2011, 11:13 PM

I hit up Target. They had just done the reset, and restocked everything, but it was just the usual... HOWEVER, they did have more Hydra deluxe figures so I grabbed another one. just gotta hope some of thebasic hydras show up soon..

Jason Abbadon · 08-03-2011, 01:37 AM

Picked up two Hydra soldiers Monday- gotta say, aside from the wak knees from that crappy SDCC Cap they're molded from, the Hydra soldiers are some of the best from this line- they have great detail, the ones at my Target alll had good paint apps and they even have wrist swivels!

Why did they cheap out on Cap's articulation but give it to the Hydra goons?
The guns- they needed the swivel to hold those (nicely detailed) guns!
A couple of weeks back, I bought the "comic colors" variant soldier from a comic shop and, after I did the "super glue trick" on their knees to tighten them up, I really like him- he looks great as an officer among the MU three-pack Hydra soldiers (I have six of those).

But...it's odd...the standard sodier is much better than the variant.

The standard version has this ammo bely thingie running down his right arm- which is omitted in the variant. Also, the variant lacks the Hydra symbol patch of the left arm (though thte space is molded on) and the Standard soldier has a nice black harness which matches the boots (both are nicely detailed with little "H" buckles on them). The variant's harness is brown (but I might paint it yellow).
Paint apps on the guns is changed on the variant as well- nicely detailed green is added to the guns' handles but the barrel itself lacks the light blue paint of the normal soldier's gun- I painted both barrels black anyway- light blue looks silly there.
Going back tomowwow- might get another soldier to repaint into a variant with additional details.

Speaking of soldiers, Target has been really putting out the revision cases! I bought an extra Wrecker, hosed him in yellow paint and swapped his head for a spare AIM goon head I had and viola! Big tank AIM soldier! Gotta gind him a guge gun for him...maybe repaint a Hydra soldier weapon. An easy conversion if ou're in the mood- and it really spices up the AIM gang to have a different body type in there.

Still no new MU wave anywhere in South Forida I've looked though!

Bah!

Hopefully these are still warming pegs when I get home from Africa next month.

flipwilson · 08-03-2011, 03:12 AM

I found two of the yellow variants and 2 of the normal colored dr. strange figures today at my friendly neighborhood target and got my stuff from HTS/SDCC today. Second best toy day ever!

Pros From Dover · 08-03-2011, 04:38 AM

I wouldn't mind getting one of those clear Dr. Strange figures. I dig clear figures. I have the normal one preordered for at BBTS for a custom.

At least I think I do... Better check on that.
