While I enjoyed the movie, I am really a huge fan of the figure line.

Months later, I still find myself posing Bucky Cap, Ultimate Cap, Crossbones and even gray urban camo Cap all the time. In fact, Ultimate Cap took control of the Quinjet this morning.

Despite articulation issues, the line is still solid to me. I like the trend of doing movie related versions with some classic comic style figures as well and hope this trend continues.

I picked up a kickass looking Hawkeye that looks more like a Cobra character than a superhero....but I like it!

And the Cap line was kind of unique within the Hasbro Marvel movie licenses of the last two years in that they gave us some completely unique characters within the line and they were fairly easy to find. All the waves hit in fair numbers and I think the only hard to find figures were the Hydra comics repaint Skull and trooper. But we got Winter Soldier, USAgent, Crossbones, Red Guardian, Bucky Cap and 2 Captain Britains where the Thor line couldn't even get us all the movie characters they promised. And Avengers seems to be playing the same games with whether we will find Hawkeye and Black Widow.

So I hope that future movie lines can continue the greatness that the Cap line gave us. And I wouldn't hate if they could switch the hip joints to be more like GI Joe or even SW. Wink

I dunno about availability... I saw Crossbones once (at Disneyland, of all places) and I never saw the 2 pack. Was he easier to find elsewhere? I do live in scalper central...

I wish I would have seen this post earlier. I saw a CB at TRU this morning along with the variant Hydra Soldier. I got the Hydra, but skipped on CB.

Still a bit disappointed we didn't get a Vance Astro with Caps shield (with Major Victory as a 2nd choice) in this line! Maybe for the Captain America 2 toyline...
