And hey, the Orange Lantern Lex and the Sinestro Corps Scarecrow are both pretty cool. So, what do you think – buy the full wave, cherry pick, or skip it entirely?

Captain America Wave 1 on Sale on HasbroToyShop.com

I saw some tweets over the weekend from our good friends at Kastor’s Korner (@kastorskorner) and It’sAllTrue.net (@itsalltruenet) – they’ve been looking for Captain America toys.

Look no further, guys! Wave 1 of the Cap 3.75-inch line is on sale right now at HasbroToyShop.com. You can find them all on the HasbroToyShop.com Captain America page.

I picked up the updated Winter Soldier plus a basic Cap – I’d like to compare them to the earlier versions from the Marvel Universe line.
