Falcon marvel select series#

Looks like Steve chose Sam for the exact same reason. Abraham Erskine believe he was the right man to receive the super-soldier serum. That’s important considering it was Steve’s compassion that made Stanley Tucci’s Dr. In other words, when given the option, Sam will always choose to exert compassion over power. The exchange makes several a few things explicitly clear: Sam is not interested in accruing power, he does not believe in dictating who can and cannot live, and he views violence only as a last resort. Moments later, when Zemo tries to persuade Sam into killing Karli Morgenthau and the superpowered Flag-Smashers because “super-soldiers cannot be allowed to exist,” Sam responds simply with, “What about Bucky? Blood isn’t always the solution.” Don’t dilly-dally too much if you know you want this figure.It happens during a key conversation in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 4, one between Mackie’s Sam Wilson and Daniel Brühl’s Baron Zemo, that gives us our best explanation yet for why Steve chose Sam to take his place.ĭuring their conversation, Zemo asks Sam whether he’d have taken the super-soldier serum if he’d been offered it, to which Sam immediately answers no. This is a major release that has even beaten Hasbro out of the gate, and I foresee a fast sell-out for this one similar to some of the better-selling Disney Store Marvel Select Exclusives in the past. The Disney Exclusive Marvel Select Captain America Sam Wilson figure is now up for order, and is in-stock for shipping immediately. I need to really mess with this figure in person to determine how I like the articulation scheme, but it seems workable at a glance (although Hasbro will likely destroy it). I would have preferred double-jointed elbows to ball-jointed elbows, but I’ll made do. It’s obviously hard to judge the articulation on an action figure we’ve only seen a handful of official photos of outside the package, but the 16 points look solid here. For a $29.99 action figure that’s a 100% new sculpt, this is basically a treasure trove of extras.

The wings have about a 13” wingspan, which I think is adequate (although the scale may have been fudged a little bit and they might be a hair undersized). The sculpt here looks superb, and the paint apps-at least in the photos we’re being shown-look on-point.įor accessories, we get six interchangeable hands, a drone, Cap’s shield (obviously) and a pair of removable red, white and blue wings. And not shockingly, we make out pretty well in all those departments with this Captain America Falcon Select figure. But as far as the official photos go, I’m very happy overall with the look of this seven inch action figure.ĭST Marvel Select figures come at a slightly higher price-point than Hasbro Marvel Legends do in general, but you also tend to get more elaborate sculpting, paint deco and accessories for that higher price.

I ordered my copy of this figure this morning, so I won’t have him in-hand for a few days.

It seems a little bit odd for this to be such a limited release since Falcon Cap is a pretty humongous deal in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but I think making this an exclusive was really the only way to keep the series ending and Sam’s new costume a secret for as long as they were. I’ll avoid talking about the specific story content details of the series finale of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” itself here, but obviously the cat (or I guess the bird?) is out of the bag regarding the new Captain America who debuts at the end of the Disney+ show: Sam Wilson.Ī few early photos of this action figure actually managed to slip out earlier this month, but my eyes quickly darted away and my mind blanked that spoiler content from my mind, so let’s take a look at this 7” action figure with fresh eyes…Īs expected this Marvel Select Sam Wilson Captain America is a Shop Disney (Disney Store) exclusive.
