Cheers BM! There is zero room in the cabinet for these three, so I'll have to shove 'em somewhere safe.. Though yes I highly recommend the pack for Sam alone! He's surprisingly my favourite of the bunch, but the other two are equally of merit.

Beautiful Panther shot there, my friend! How on earth is 616 T'Challa staying afloat?! Also, since 95% of the community doesn't yet have the CW Panther (myself included), what do you think of him?

P.S. Didn't see the Nuke pic you posted earlier. He exempllifies the term "maniacal menace" at its very best! I know ziltch about the character, aside from the semi-adaptation in JJ, but he looks very nice indeed.

P.P.S. that Rocket Raccoon wave T'Challa is one of my favourite MLs to date. Love that guy.

Other than that, though, they're bloody brilliant figures. Given Red Onslaught Cap is now the defacto figure, it's nice to see the Marvel Now sculpt being used for Sam. Very detailed sculpt, and the plastic parts are the perfect shade. Vision is also a welcome addition, as I approve Daniel Acuna's design. Aside from the paint issues, his face sculpt is superior, imo, to the Avengers AI/Hulkbuster wave fig, and his cape is surprisingly well sculpted? Who'd have thought Hasbro could make me like plastic capes.
Lastly, Kate is wonderful. Only gripe is that the headsculpt could be better. More expression in her face (perhaps a smirk?) would've been ideal, and some windswept hair to give the illusion of movement would have made this figure perfect. On saying that, the new skinny build suits her very well, the waist quiver is a nice tidbit, and the non-purple bow is at least a step up from Hawkeye.

Overall, very happy with them. It's the first 3 pack I've actually wanted, and it doesn't disappoint. There's a hole in the back of the FalCap figure, if you were thinking of using the Civil War wing/jet pack. I might just buy the 12" Titan Falcon though, and use those comic-accurate wings instead.

Looks great!

@Von

Yeah, love Sam's grim countenance...and I always liked that Marvel Now Cap design. Makes sense that Cap would wear padded armor (since he sported a light chain-mail for years) given that he often contends with villains much more powerful than he is.

Thanks. I've been experimenting with making my own stands. I've hidden it with a bit of ingenuity and camera angle...unlike most of my shots, there won't be multiple angles with this one.

The Black Panther MCU figure is AMAZING! I don't like movie figs (in general), and I hate when comics take on the look of the film (Hawkeye et al)...buuuuut I might be ok with comic Panther taking on this look! That said, I will ALWAYS rock classic Panther...

Yesterday...while reading what Arkers write about this character and that one...I was like..damn..i'm getting detached from the source. Went home and read about 5 comics...and have a line up of things i want to read. I said i'll take at least one day a week to get caught up. I started on Civil War II yesterday,..and read a few issues of the new PowerMan and Iron Fist. Also read my first Ms. Marvel..since she's a thing now.

whatever technique that is....it's slick...because i was wondering that myself. Then i went back to look again (after reading what you wrote)..i'm thinking maybe it was the hangers (youtube vid). but looks like you on some ole' new shit..lol....Looks great though man..

[Boy Blunder]

Man, Sam and Kate look aces there. Vision's design is 'meh' for me, but his paint looks pretty sharp and I'm loving that cape mold. I agree, though, I would have loved to have seen a different head sculpt for Kate... maybe an alternate head without the glasses.

Wonder if the upcoming Silk figure's head can fit on the neck?

The 12" Titan Falcon's wings are in scale with the 6" figure? I was considering picking up one of those cheap 'Playmation' figures, since they're popping up at Ross, to get the wings off of.

Took this fig out and tried to do several poses and shots with it. Here are some photos I took and if you want to check out my review, here's the link: bit.ly/UltParker Enjoy!

@TBM Completely agree about the armour for Cap - it's never made sense to me why he wouldn't protect himself (don't even get me started on Rogue's "costumes"). However, the Marvel Now figure seemed a bit short for Steve, but for Sam it's perfect.
Also, no way, there was a stand there?! I assume it's a wire/coat hanger stand, connected up the line of his leg? Well whatever it was, it was on point!

@Blunder Yes I thought the exact same thing about Silk's head, given how it looks 100% Caucasian and 0% Korean, it'll be great for Kate (did no-one at Hasbro know Cindy was Asian-American?)

I'm not sure about the Titan wings yet, but looking at it in store they looked okay? I'll let you know if I test it out!

Edit: Love that first shot, Advocate!

It's funny you bring up Scorpion. For some reason there are a handful of characters I ALWAYS forget exist when I'm making lists or mentioning absences in the line up. I mentioned a few pages back that Jackal is the only remaining major SM villain missing, of course that's not true because Scorpion is also a pretty big deal, and is much needed.

Thanks. Yeah spiderman has a large amount of villains. I doubt that they will get to Scorpion any time soon. We also need a updated Mysterio since the toy biz one isn't the best. Also wouldn't mind them making a prowler either.

So he's just in Limbo then? That sucks...

@TBM
Great Panther vs Panther shot! I was thinking you probably made something and hid it in the shadow. Excellent job!

Limbo/Cancer-verse dead. We really are not sure since the DnA stuff established people in that universe cannot die but then he was basically "dead" after the "what happened" story. I personally like to go with Rich is still fighting and working his way back.

I can not wait for this 3 pack to hit stores...they all look great in their own way, for some reason I am really drawn to the Vision, hope he looks good in person...with this 3 pack, I think every collector is getting what they want, familiarity and vagueness in the same pack...for me, I know Vision, but nothing of this costume, first time seeing him in that suit, I know of Falcon, but not as Cap, and Hawkeye, I know nothing about her, but I know of her father...The set will be had if can find it...and great pics, my friend...hope they hit my area soon...

[Veronica Mars]

The three pack looks great, but probably a pass for me, I only really want Kate, and I can't justify the expense for one figure. Plus I really wish they'd gone with a different look for her, the Flo the progressive girl look is not best

Mentor, not father. She's not Hawkeye's kid, thank goodness - that would've made things super weird.

Thanks gents...no hanger, but wires were involved. A little easier to see in these pics, but while they were aesthetically more pleasing to me...the original pic hid them better...

The "shadow" knows...




@Pinoy

SUPER-DUPER SHOTS!!!

[Augustus_Cole]

keep it a mystery..lol....its more fun that way...

[TheBlueMarvel]

@Dark

Lol I always ruin the fun!

[TheBlueMarvel]

Hmmm? Well, in my opinion the picture clarity is, but you can see the wire-stand in the "shadow" of the pouncing classic Panther...

Edit:
I get the feeling that was not directed at me...

[Tim]

[VonPooten]

Ahar, wires are the key! I'm still using fishing line until a suitable solution can be found. Despite their convenience, Obitsu stands are quite fickle if you accidently... get frustrated.

Don't worry, I think it's safe to say that those three, all prominent Spidey villains, will be made by Hasbro sooner rather than later.

Cheers! As I said this headsculpt is the best Vision I've seen. I won't be surprised if people replace the Hulkbuster head for this one. Unfortunately this costume is one that needed a few raised/sculpted details, but for what it is it's still nice.

Pardon my ignorance but, who is Kate's father? From what I read in the original Young Avengers, I thought she was just a rich kid who got bored?

Love this set, but I do miss Kate Bishop's older costume that Clint kind of hijacked for himself. Kind of wish they kept that instead of giving her bland purple tights with no real designs.

Not so much a complaint on the figure though and more on Marvel's modern design of her. I love how they adapted her designs for Clint to use in influence, but did she really have to go so solid plain to let his stand out instead? I liked it better when she was showing him up in both skill and better costume style.

I kind of like her 'mod' costume, myself, but I'll always love the original outfit she cobbled together, AKA the "Hawkingbird" one.

When is that 3 pack coming out? I have yet to see it at my store.

Hawkingbird would be great, but the costume she wore after that during Childhood's End and Secret Invasion is my favorite. If they can reuse unreleased Rogue's head for Sharon they can reuse her scarf for Kate
