Nothing against the character but the Images shown in Toy Fair are awful. They could have used the FireFly 25th mold
I see where you are coming from but using the torso and arms from Firefly would actually make the figure inaccurate, Union Jack's costume lacks the lined texture found on Firefly's 25th anniversary figure.The gear and weaponry he comes with are accurate as well, but the area between the neck and head is too long! It threw me off, other than that I will be buying him, I LOVED the miniseries from two years ago.

Moon Knight - Uses the X-Force Wolverine Mold with a new head that looks great. But then they went ahead and used a molded cape! The first thing that came to mind is the cape they used for the Storm Shadow Comic 2-PK that is 100% identical and is made of cloth that will not hamper the articulation of the figure.
Agreed, and the head sculpt suffers as well. I hope he comes with more weapons, I love his book too!

I guess they could go with a plastic hood and then soft goods cape.
That works for me.
Quote:
Both head sculpts are ulgy, I guess he looked this way in the comics at one point but I have no connection to these at all.
The one from wave 3 is his current look. Either way the head is still too big.
Quote:
Don't even know what the hell a Hand Ninja is but from the small pic they showed he looks ok. Again no connection to this character at all.
The Hand Ninja Clan trained Elektra and every now and then Daredevil fights them. This is a great troop builder and I can already tell that these will be used by some joe fans as high ranking

. The head sculpt can also be used for a custom DDP Storm Shadow from the solo series/WWIII storyline, as it looks
EXACTLY
the same only in white/black!

I would much rather have a Modern Telling of an old story just like they did with Joes.
Judging by the character selection for upcoming waves, I think what Hasbro is trying to do, is make figures of characters who show up in the current and next big storylines, in their current costumes, and then adding in classic versions of them as the line progresses, we are seeing it start with the first 4 waves, I honestly was not expecting to see a classic Iron man that quick, same goes for Punisher.
This toy series ties directly into the current comic book storylines. The end of Secret Invasion ties directly into Dark Reign. I think the New Captain America will be part of the New Avengers as he is on the cover for an upcoming issue which is hyped for having the first new roster change in a long while. There is a group now called Dark Avengers, which is like the bad version of the New Avengers. They have members who look like their New Avengers counterparts, such as Iron Patriot. Brian Michael Bendis wants to see a toy of Iron Patriot with a flip up visor. His identity must be a shocking revelation in the comics. Bendis also wants to see a 7 figure set with a BAF Dr. Doom. I wonder if Doom dons huge armor of some sort, otherwise I can't see why Bendis would want a BAF of him. The Wolverine look alike is Daken, look closely at the claws. Now the person in the Black Spiderman/Venom costume, I have no clue who that is, maybe Carnage?
Anyways since all of these characters are involved in the next storylines, I would not be surprised if they end up in the Marvel Universe toyline. That would rule. I hope we see a Winter Soldier and New Captain America figure early next year!
