Hot Toys Falcon from The Winter Soldier Confirmed at Hot Toys Captain America Exhibition

If Hot Toys’ reveals today from their Winter Soldier line-up weren’t enough to get you pumped for action figures from the movie, they’re also opening a Captain America exhibit today at Hysan Place in Hong Kong. The exhibit will feature the first live reveals of the Winter Soldier and the three Cap figures, as well as dioramas showing scenes from The First Avenger, The Avengers, and The Winter Soldier – recreated with Hot Toys figures.

The big reveal, though, was the acknowledgement that Hot Toys is indeed making a figure of Falcon, even if he wasn’t yet on display. I think he’ll be in high demand – he was pretty well realized in the movie, and I had been pretty skeptical that Marvel could translate this character from the comics to the big screen.

Hot Toys Reveals Captain America and Steve Rogers Figures from The Winter Soldier

With Captain America: The Winter Soldier opening in theaters tomorrow, Hot Toys has been on a tear to reveal their figure offerings from the Marvel tentpole. We’ve previously seen Cap in his “Golden Age” costume, an updated Black Widow, and the Winter Soldier himself. Today, they’ve revealed two figures – Cap in his Stealth S.T.R.I.K.E. Suit (based on the “Super Soldier” costume from the comics) and Steve Rogers in his civvies. This version of Cap is available solo or in a two-figure set with the plain clothes Rogers – which sadly for our wallets, is the only way to get an unhelmeted head on the new suit, at least for now.

Once you see the opening of the movie, you’ll be clamoring for the Super Soldier suit. I won’t say more, other than it’s a totally kick-ass sequence. No pre-orders up yet, but these will be up at Sideshow Collectibles soon, joining Golden Age Cap, Black Widow, and the Winter Soldier. At this point, I’m wondering if this is it, or if Hot Toys still has a Falcon up their sleeves. Hope so!

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Jubilee, Rogue, and Hulkbuster Iron Man

More Marvel Legends in this week’s Border Patrol – two customs of figures that were put on hold when Hasbro’s plans for running change variants were shelved, and one that could be made leveraging an existing Build-a-Figure.

Marvel Legends Jubilee by Horton’s Heroes – Jubilee was supposed to be the Build-a-Figure for the first wave of Marvel Legends this year, but retailers opted for the movie-supported Captain America and Spider-Man lines – this is her classic costume, but the planned figure was in her more modern look, with the black suit underneath her trademark yellow trench coat – ends Apr 07, 2014 20:28:42 PDT
Marvel Legends Rogue by Babcsan – Rogue was to be the running change variant for Emma Frost in the Wolverine Legends line, but when that went exclusive to Diamond, Rogue and the Phoenix Five Cyclops were shelved – I think I see a little too much of Trish Stratus left in that head sculpt – ends Apr 05, 2014 12:06:35 PDT
Marvel Legends Hulkbuster Iron Man by Happy Day Customs – I haven’t found the second wave of Cap Legends to finish my Mandroid and Happy Day is customizing the BAF – argh! – if Hasbro didn’t already have this idea, it’s a decent one for a future BAF leveraging the Iron Monger / Mandroid body – ends this morning, Apr 01, 2014 09:11:36 PDT

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!

Customizers, the submission deadline for CustomCon 37 is coming up on April 7.

Hot Toys Announces the Winter Soldier from Captain America

I’m worried that because the Winter Soldier was such a fantastic story line in Ed Brubaker’s Captain America comics that my expectations for Captain America: The Winter Soldier are unduly high. With a week to go before the movie opens, Hot Toys has revealed their figure of the former Bucky (can anyone consider that a spoiler?)

No disappointment with the figure – aside from that I haven’t seen a pre-order for him yet. But the “Golden Age” Captain America that Hot Toys revealed earlier is now up for pre-order at Sideshow Toys for $209.99. I’m sure the Winter Soldier will be up there soon.

Four Horsemen Gothitropolis Raven Test Shots Look Amazing

While the Four Horsemen refer to these as the “first” test shots, the more accurate way to describe them would be as the first test shots after earlier looks at the Gothitropolis Ravens revealed problems with scale and detail that required retooling. I don’t recall if this was part of the earlier acknowledgement of the issues, but this latest update discusses a move to a new factory for the fix.

There are a couple of shots of the upcoming figures with the Scarabus, the previous figure from the Gothitropolis Fantastic Exclusive line – while it could be the perspective of the photos, it still looks like the Raven may be a little undersized. But what is undeniable is that the detail and articulation of the figures looks great. The Four Horsemen provided 32 pics in this update, so enjoy!
