And for whomever is assuming I hate the MCU, you couldn't be more wrong, I have every MCU movie done and can't wait to add GOTG vol 2 later this month! I love em. I just don't care for figures of actors, hence I call em cosplayers. I hear people saying " I can't wait for that Cris Evans Cap figure". I'm like wow, it's because it's "Chris Evans" , not that it's just "Captain America". But what can you expect in a time where hardly any kids under 16 read comics anymore or just plain read period! As a kid in the 80s, I read every Stephen King Novel I could get my hands on! They just know of these characters via the movies. I feel sad for the new generation, I really do. They'll never experience the joy of going to a comic shop & buying a stack of Marvel/DC/Image/Dark Horse comics and laying on the bed reading them for hrs.

Sorry to say, but it doesn't matter, because you're still buying a figure based on a character with an actors likeness either way you spin it. I need to do some digging, but you do know why there are more movie figures made today than 57 years ago? Comic book movies are at an all time high (The Golden Age). Of course you're going to see these figures made, we're talking about a 16 movie franchise in which 4 have made over a billion dollars. I'm sure if things were this popular back in the day you would have seen more movie figures, that's just common sense. Also, Captain America is a fictional character that has been drawn by different artist for decades. It's complete asinine to disregard actors playing fictional characters from a comic book. If you were to get upset about Bobby Brown, Jackie Chan, or Taylor Swift playing Frank Sinatra in his bio picture, I'd be right there with you, but with all due respect it doesn't make sense.
