New Hot Toys Red Skull, Loki and USO Captain America





Loki and Red Skull are very tempting, I'll probably pass on Cap though

Thanks for the post

Just Red Skull for me out of that lot...I need someone for Captain America to clobber

Not really feeling the USO version of cap & I don't have Thor yet (waiting for the modern Avenger one) so no need for Loki.

Loki, yes as I have Thor and Odin. I can finally display father with both of his wayward children. No interest in the others at all. I thought the Cap movie was balls, I'm buying the current figure, as it's a very cool representaton of the character, nothing more, nothing less.

Loki's armour looks like a simple variation of Odin's. I doubt they'll do it, but I'd squeal with glee, if they included Odin's alternate helmet with Loki.

Stupid hobby. Once it looks like I'm getting out, they pull me back in...

I liked the idea of the shield that comes with the 'Golden Age' Captain America but the rest of the figure looks very meh. I've yet to see the film though..... Red Skull is a must regardless though

Loki just looks brilliant the more and more I look at him

Decided I'm definitely skipping the USO Captain but I will be scouring Ebay for the sellers who part him out & I will be buying the Shield & the Unmasked Chris Evans sculpt to go on my First Avenger Captain.

The rest of the figure it just a bit dull for my liking but the classic shield & Evans sculpt are musts

From what i can see on that pic the USO cap looks pretty cool! I think I may have to do some more research though.

Massive LOL at people clammering to pick up Odin, now that Loki's been announced.

*Looks across at his Odin and nods*

Totally BOSS!

I was tempted to pick up Odin but tbh I'll be happy with my display just consisting of Thor and Loki, Odin doesn't feature enough in the film for him to be an essential purchase for me

You can pick Odin up quite cheap so well worth a punt. Just ordered one for £114 and then a tenner for delivery. Bargain, me thinks.....

Why So Serious Online. Ordered it Thursday and it arrived this morning. If not ToyHQ had it on at £119 if WSSO have sold out.

From the brief look I had at it after opening it, looks nice. However the staff he holds it huge and wont be held up right, wont fit on the shelf, lol.

I originally had him holding the staff over his head, like he's about to throw it into some poor sod's face.

This figure is simply stunning, one of Hot Toys best IMO and I haven't even seen Captain America yet.

Cannot wait to get him on pre-order let alone actually have him in hand. Brilliant simply brilliant!!

I just did a little sex wee!!

That is stunning.

Definitely a must buy from me...hopefully he will be released after my birthday so that I can have money towards him.

The Hugo sculpt is fantastic

One of the best looking yet.

Both sculpts look immense. Love that coat as well.

The uniform, for the majority of the movie isn't that colour, though.
It's darker, with a slightly green cast to it, if I recall correctly.

Looks nice but I'm going to pass, I've no room left.

At a push I might get a HT Hulk figure if they release one for the Avengers movie.

My last shelf is reserved for my (89) Batman & Joker figures.

Wish lack of space curtailed my spending. Doesn't even become a factor with me though

Lol make space...you know you want it

I don't even have cabinets yet & a baby due in May but that won't stop me buying this & no doubt countless others...including the Re-release Robocop & probably half the Avengers releases

Speaking of Red Skull though...I got my Email from OSB today to say that Cap has been dispatched

Well he's up for pre-order on SSC at $199 so I'd imagine that means he'll be about £160 our money. Come one OSB get him up for pre-order
