Hot Toys (Finally) Reveals Falcon from Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Hot Toys Captain America The Winter Soldier Falcon 01

Hot Toys took their time revealing the last of the four major characters from Captain America: The Winter Soldier. We’ve seen a couple versions of Captain America, an updated Black Widow, and the title character, the Winter Soldier. Now, weeks after the movie’s opening, we’re finally getting a look at the Falcon. Hot Toys posted a couple of Falcon teaser shots at the end of last week, but here’s the full deal.

I think they did a bang-up job with the Ultimates-inspired costume – the wings, the military garb, and the goggles all look spot-on. I’m having a tougher time matching up Anthony Mackie with the head sculpt. It does look like him from some angles, but I think there’s something off with the shape of his forehead that’s throwing it from other angles. We’ll see if Hot Toys reworks it while it goes through production, like they have with so many other figures.

Hot Toys Announces Spidey from The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man 2 01

We’re a couple of weeks away from the opening of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Hot Toys has revealed the first of its figures from the sequel to the reboot. This may be the first Spidey figure I’ve gotten from them – I’m still debating whether I like the Tobey Maguire version or the Andrew Garfield version better, but as far as the suits are concerned, this latest iteration is my favorite. Aside from the texture (which I can accept as a real-world interpretation), the darker blue color, and the long legs on the Spidey symbol, it’s the closest to the comics as it’s ever been.

Now, not having kept up with all the movie news, I’m not sure where the extra accessories fit in, but a bullhorn, parka, backpack, and knit hat don’t seem that exciting to me. I’m surprised they’re not including an unmasked head – but that might just mean another version (battle-damaged?) is in the works. If accessories are your thing, there’s an exclusive Plutonium canister – I am guessing that Sideshow will have this, even though my search for Spider-Man at Sideshow doesn’t have this figure listed yet. It soon should be.

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

Captain America - The Winter Soldier Join Forces at Hysan Place 01

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!
