A Marvelous Community

Neat. My cousin was really annoyed earlier this year because she couldn't find any Shuri dolls for my niece's birthday. Christmas ahoy!

We're definitely gonna get something, but it may take a while. As the OP noted, it's very likely that the BAF got squelched at the last second because of the elder abuse stuff and the deal likely having been negotiated by the ****head who was exploiting Stan, so seeing how his estate shakes out is likely gonna determine whether or not Hasbro pulls the trigger on this.

I fully expect a classic Falcon to be released in an Avengers heavy wave & therefore he will have his own head sculpt. I never bought Dark Hawkeye as I didn't like the metal arm so for me plus it was Bullseye in that custom, the classic version is a must have as that's the one I prefer. 

I definitely agree that the other founding fathers of Marvel should be made into figure form too. And I hope to God they’ll be retail figures and not Con exclusives

I must admit, for a second I also thought the Darkhawk wings might work, but like Tarot says, they're just a bit off. Then again, if they wanna use em to pump out a classic version of Falcon right away and do a modern one sometime in the future, I'm all on board. The point I was making was that regardless of what body mold(s) or combination of parts they use, it still doesn't account for the head sculpt they would need for it. Aside from the wings issue I really can't think of an existing head sculpt that would work for his classic look. And honestly, if they're doing a classic comic Falcon for the first time, I sure don't want some recycled, reused, repainted head sculpt anyway. Now, if you wanna argue that the Sam Cap from the 3 pack will work for his modern look I'll concede, but as far as his classic look he would need a new sculpt which would disqualify him from being in the Vintage line, in particular. Also, nobody ever said we can only get classic versions of the characters in the Vintage line only. They make plenty of classic characters in the main line still and I'm sure it will continue, and should. But don't expect to see any character in the Vintage line unless the character or the parts that make up the character have been used before. More than a sub line, the Vintage line is a cheap way for Hasbro to capitalize on the perception of new figures without actually doing anything new except maybe in regards to plastic colors & paint application. I really do hate the premise but even I must admit I prefer all the figures in the latest Vintage wave to the previous releases. They are just better. Especially the Scarlet Spider and Black Panther. Hasbro got me again.
