I hope so. If we don't at least get figures of Shuri and Nakia I will be disappointed, and preferably the head of the Dora Milaje as well (Okoye?). If the GotG 2 waves can give us almost the entire cast there isn't really any excuse for BP waves not to give us most of the BP cast.

I think they did that because they didn't think Ego would sell well on his own; I also think them doing that is the reason they didn't give the single-pack short-jacket Star Lord a BAF piece.

They probably also didn't want to take up another spot in one of the waves for a movie figure. You always get people complaining that there are too many movie characters and not enough comic ones and Guardians 2 in particular had a lot of characters released this year already.

I was spot on with every MCU Marvel Legend character this year. For the Black Panther release I can see T'Challa, Okoye, Nakia, Killmonger, and M'Baku. Given every wave is starting to have a 2 pack, I see one of these being released in a 2 pack with another version of T'Challa. Glad I only collect MCU Marve Legends. Keeps my den looking fresh and pockets ready for more.

I hope you are right, though I could see Shuri getting a figure over Okoye since from what know so far she is more prominent and hands on. Ideally we'd get both.

It always gets me when I here people say that. There are way more comic figures than MCU figures. To each there own, but watching people get furious over it is when it gets a little funny. Not a fan of releasing the same figure twice with no difference(Star-Lord), but I'm such a big fan of the figures and they keep getting better and better.

The Face Off Caps are a testament to both everything that Toybiz was doing right and everything that they were doing wrong during the era. On the right side, the sculpts on the FO Caps were very good, with fully sculpted armor, wrinkles and texturing in the hood, gloves and boots, and some awesome paint apps with subtle washes all over the figure.

On the downside, for as many points of articulation the FO figures have, the most important parts, the shoulders, are mostly useless thanks to the sculpt. Cap can not raise his arms horizontally more than 10 degrees, nor can he bring his arms down to his side's properly, giving him a gorilla stance. You also have to be very careful in attempting to move the arms, because the figure has the infamous, fragile, Toybiz butterfly joints. The neck juts forward in a weird way, giving him a hunch back appearance, and again, since this is a Toybiz figure, all of the other joints as well are subject to snapping off thanks to the dubious amounts of paint and wash applied over them. He's just not a very fun figure to try and pose.

Honestly, if you were gonna pick up just one Cap figure From Toybiz, I would go for the original series 1 figure. While the body is obviously a bit outdated, I feel it still holds up fairly well, and has an articulation scheme not all that different from what Hasbro is using now, and unlike the FO Caps...it all works. Plus the head sculpt is incredible.

I feel I should mention the Ultimates Cap as well as being a fairly good figure as well...although I am biased since I actually enjoyed this version of the character in the comics more than I did the 616 version. Much of the FO versions body mold was repurposed from this figure, only that the articulation on Ultimates Cap was much better. You just have to get past the head sculpt, which looks okay at certain angles, while at others, looks off and gives Cap the appearance of having a huge, cartoony jaw and underbite. The detail on the figure though is phenomenal, but again, your feelings towards the figure might also stem from whether or not you enjoyed this version of the character.

One thing that is a positive among all of the figures though...the shield. The shields that came with the Toybiz Caps DESTROY Hasbro's in nearly every way, and I wish that Hasbro would copy them. They're perfect.

Oh I agree. But it's a common enough sentiment and Hasbro seems to try and want to have both parties pleased by doing an even split of comic and MCU characters.

then you have to drop another $40 just for a Tom Holland head, which they justify by also tossing in yet another repainted Iron-Man, because we clearly don't have enough of those.
