I agree with the plastic quality when it comes to Bucky. I actually think he was intended to be in the Cap/Thor Legends movie line from last summer (those walmart exclusives).

The sad thing is, Fantomex is just as flimsy.

I still have a few issues with their face sculpts, though. I've been spoiled by Four Horsemen, I think.

In a way they are. It seems like Hasbro is intent on redoing characters whose figures haven't aged well. For example, the best tiger stripe Wolverine is the one they made in 08 for the BAF RULK wave. That Wolverine was a retool of brown costume Wolverine, and was more in-scale than the Toy Biz ML tiger stripe Wolverine. The 1st Spiderman Classics black Spiderman didn't have bicep swivels, and later Toy Biz made a version with a ton of joints that were unsightly and ruined the sculpt. Then in the BAF RULK wave, Hasbro made a new one which had the best sculot of the 3 and more articulation than the 1st without overdoing it like the 2nd.

I get the feeling another Captain America is on the way using the Bucky Cap/US Agent mold.
