Captain America will include interchangeable hands, two masked portraits, an unmasked portrait, a mask accessory, a stealth shield, and a regular shield. Winter Solider will include interchangeable hands, two masked portraits, an unmasked portrait, a weathered shield, and three knives.
Pre-orders will be available soon. Pricing and release date have not been announced. Check out the new photos after the jump.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier - MAFEX Captain America and Winter Soldier Figures
There seemed to be a lack of accessories. What's up with these companies not including any guns? The Winter Soldier needs his weapon. Captain America doesn't have a good Chris Evans likeness but still neat. Winter Soldier needs his guns if not then what's the point in purchasing these. Tired of multiple companies not including guns.
From a figure standpoint I just got Stealth Batman, Harley and Cyborg Superman and was thoroughly unimpressed with all three so I might be taking my own advice soon enough. Since this isn't DC we don't know for sure if the situation with Winter Soldier is anti-2A nonsense, could just be straight up laziness on Medicom's end.
I have stopped multiple lines due to the lack of accessories that in the movies or comics they represent. It does seem like a trend from multiple companies and lines. I just purchased S.H.Figuarts Bucky from the The Falcon and the Winter Solider series only on sale because I wasn't paying full price for the lack of his weapons (huge fan of the character). Still have not purchased the Falcon and he always has 2 weapons. It just seems these characters are naked without. I know multiple companies are producing armaments for these kinds of needs and variety but just a shame not to include some of their signature weapons and may be just what you expressed from either laziness or anti-2A nonsense. Seems like Hasbro Marvel is suffering from the same exclusions which years past they would have included.
Now Marvel is following DC's footsteps with the no guns thing, holy shit they kill people in every movie. So dumb to make these changes for high priced import figures.
Buying aftermarket or extra guns only goes so far if they stop including gun holding hands. Who knows if these will have them.
It's been made crystal f****** clear to Hasbro, McFarlane, and the companies that grant them and other manufacturers like Medicom licenses what the problems are. They. Don't. Care.
A slightly psychotic fictional character once said "It's not about money, it's about sending a message." Think about it.

Looks like my wallet is safe from Mafex in the first half of 2024. The most interesting Mafex figures are the ones that are supposedly coming out this year. Nightwing, Steel, Scarlet Spider, Thor and some X-Men characters.
No firearms for Winter Soldier? Why? That's like selling Captain America without his shield.
I hope S.H.Figuarts will make a Winter Soldier with guns, but i don't get my hopes up. Japanese Toy Companies can't put guns in their action figure boxes as accessories because of some stupid gun law that newly passed on Japanese parliament as far as i know. :/
Not buying before, but just terrible.
Nothing wrong with guns, but now much like cigars, cannot have it in toy form, and so on.
Stupid...these guys at the top are buttholes. Imagine Winter Soldier having to guns.
It's the slippery slope. No guns, then knives, then swords and soon after, no fists.
Still getting Bucky because I was planning to display him with the knife and shield combo anyway. That said, it's nuts how badly these mandates have affected import figures so badly. I'm just glad I have enough spare guns for my figures.
No biceps twist? Simple elbow joint? Protruding Figma style joint? The face does not resemble the character.
The worst figure in years of the line.
And of course they never reused a Spider-Man body.
And that FFH Spidey, as well as Battle Damaged Mark 85 and X-Factor Cyclops totally weren't cash grabs.
And the new Robocops definitely did not need updated helmeted headsculpts.
And those two Wolverine figures they made definitely weren't terrible.
But yeah, I've never seen the MAFEX line before.
I said what I said because Hasbro has released multiple ML figures with guns this year. And if that rule appilied to Marvel then I don't know why it wouldn't apply to Star Wars and Indiana Jones. And if it applied only to realistic guns then that's quite a rabbit hole to go down.
Very sad that mafex is jumping on the no guns bamdwagon. And sub par articulation makes me sad. I was thinking of getting winter soldier but now i likely wont.
Mafex should have...
done a "Two Pack...
for these ;^)

tbh you just sound like some kind of weird freak with a chip on your shoulder. Whine whine whine, the last thing this place needs are more fragile old farts crying about their precious guns.
It was dumb on Figuarts Deadpool, and it's dumb here
