Seeing as how IW is now available on Netflix for rewatching and the fact we’re in the home stretch of getting the HT counterparts in hand...
I’m wondering how you guys would rank the figures, whether by having them in hand or based on what you’ve seen we’re getting (thanos, iron man, etc)
i’m asking because every time i throw on IW i’m tempted to get someone new (except spider-man i just don’t like their iteration of iron spider) and i don’t know who my next figure should be (only have iron man on pre order)
if you want i guess you can even throw in past figures, star lord comes to mind, who don’t have an IW version, but watching the movie again has made you want them.
At this point I'd only like IW War Machine based on sculpt, character in movie, and beefy armor. (IW Bucky is already on PO - a fav character, so he was a given for me. Would like another IM but thinking of going for one of the older, classic armors.)
If I didn't have a DS, I would pick IW version up.
In general tho IMO the Infinity War figures seemed like a rush job for HT. To me. At least for Team Cap e.g. not a huge amount of accessories or lots of plastic (like they could've given BW a diecast spear); still no Okoye and no Outriders, Falcon, SW or Vision.
IMO for someone who is collecting based on film - I'd say diecast WM or Hulkbuster for long term value, either as a collectible or for re-sale. 10 year Cap seems to have been a hit, as is IW Thor. (But from roaming around E-bay, there are lots of Thors for sale. ). 10 year IM also.
How much do you wanna spend? U can read specific figure threads - but the older ones I know of besides IW figs are all gonna cost yah NIB: IM 6, 7, 43, 46, 47 (diecast versions if available); TWS Winter Soldier; CW battle Cap or classic CW Cap; Ultron Cap; CW Black Widow; CW Black Panther; CW Falcon; GOTG1 Rocket and Groot; Loki #1; Dark World or Roadworn Thor (for a classic look). Also a version of Hulk (I'd go for Gladiator myself). Oh, and Hela.
Only other suggestion I have is asking yourself how ur gonna feel in a year, 2 years, 3, about the fig. Like, Civil War IM is my only IM and I friggin' love that fig, every time I look at it
. I've got a few like that (my Caps and Buckys). No-one touches my TWS Buckys.
No point in spending IMO without the *LUV*
'coz later u end up w. buyer's remorse and empty wallet. If u can't see yourself with the warm fuzzies over a fig a year or two from now, IMO don't do it. E.g. what is focus of ur collection, if any. Also check out YT fig reviews for potential issues. PS. Plenty of KO or HT shields around u can source if u want IW Cap.
