Hopefully we still might get an updated one in the future via the Vintage line, (hopefully with the eagle crested shield that the 3.75" version released with) but if not, even on the older, smaller Bucky Cap mold, he's still a great looking figure. I'm super stoked to finally have him!

Man us agent is awesomeM i always wished i could got him but he never showed when the wave was out.

Seeing him out the box makes me want him...

I know where I can get one, but he’s pricey.

I always liked his backstory about his seeking honor and reverence through his service in the military, but having had the misfortune (if you can call it that) of serving during peacetime. He was always noble at heart, but his own failings during his call of duty (if you will) caused his frustrations to spill out, which often brought him to taking more extreme measures than Cap. Not quite Captain America, but not quite the Punisher either. It was something I identified with.

Plus...I've always found that black costume design to be too sweet. The original Toybiz figure was one of my most played with as a kid.

Same here. I never saw ANY of the Epic Heroes wave in store except for that terrible Iron Man figure.

I was able to score a trade locally...cost me a Mystique and a BAF part I had already lying around (so basically...like 13 bucks...lol.) He was missing his dagger and the shield had a minor chip in it along it's edge, so that gave me a little bit of bargaining power. It wasn't a big deal anyways since the same dagger has come with several other figures as well, so I had a spare in my fodder weapons baggie. The chip in the edge/trim of the shield is barely even noticeable. Prolly wouldn't have even noticed it if it were not for my nerd vision.

He feels a bit small, especially when compared to the newer Caps, but I'm too excited to care! Besides, there's enough older Caps out there that he fits right in. So grateful to finally have him!

Oh hell yeah. The recent dinosaur stuff that Mattel and Lanard have been doing last year make me hope Hasbro eventually steps up with a Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur set in the Legendary Riders series.

even though i already ordered two on-line, I couldn't help but pick one up when i saw her in person at Target...

^Love the colors of the Starforce uniforms. They look really good together.

As for Minn-Erva, while she looks totally badass I wish the Gemma Chan sculpt was a little bit stronger. The headsculpt's a bit generic looking compared to actual pics of Chan from the film and promotional materials. All-in-all, still gonnna pick her up when she hits stores.

Fingers crossed for a Century figure- We've almost got a complete ForceWorks Team- which will give my USAgent and Julia Carpenter SpiderWoman a place to go!

[IcantBseriouS]

Damn! I kinda want a US Agent figure now. Anyway, maybe not the best place to ask. I'm looking for an extra set of swords from Shatterstar. Anybody have them?

Great score! Congrats!

I love this figure. I actually use him displayed as Steve Rodgers as The Captain (I have a great fondness for that arc and why Steve chose to resign as Captain America. #332-350). I painted an extra shield silver and hit it with 8 thin coats gloss to emulate the shield Tony Stark gave him.

That sounds awesome! Can you post a pic?

That would be cool. Depending on the costume they could retool Century into Dracula or vice versa if Dracula comes first.

Got Vintage Vision finally:



The figure itself is cool, except for one issue that is driving me nuts. The green part of his forehead that slopes up above the jewel is not centered, so while one side slopes directly into the jewel, the other side is off and I can't unsee it.

I just heard the 90s Iron Man theme in my head.

You could put together a West Coast Avengers with them too

[Lufaverde]

If anyone comes across an extra mystique, please let me know, I have paypal and/or could trade in your favor... Would really like to get her at the sale price, I’m in NW Indiana and have been been to multiple Walgreens but no such luck yet... Thanks in advance!

Sure thing. I'll snap one in the next day or two.

Does anyone know what other ML figures use the same red hands like this US Agent fig? US Agent's hands do not come out like new ML figures. I MAY have cracked the hinge trying to remove it

I'm pretty sure I have the old guy still around- came with a plant and spare "I'm dead" head. I was going to try and use the figure for an Alfred custom but it was too big and lacked decent articulation for what i wanted.

Unless you lost a chunk of the 'O' those hands hold up pretty well once you've get them back together.

The older Caps (before they moved to the updated body) don't have wrist articulation. They are larger and only swivel on the peg.

As for hands that match...there's none I can recall that use identical colored plastic, but if you're willing to do a simple bit of painting in a wash, the Hobgoblin Daredevil figure is your best bet. The Defenders one is alright, but the plastic is a bit darker than the one used for US Agent.

The Juggernaut wave Deadpool work well too, only they have that ridiculous extended pinky. You could probably add a wash to the hands of Liefeld Classic DP as well, though those don't have trigger fingers if memory serves me correct.

[Nutimus Prime]

I found the Starforce Captain Marvel at Target earlier. Just last night it showed as none around me but there was an entire case on an end cap today.
