Just thinking about this Falcon as a warm up to classic, which should be on the heels of this one after its released....but I remembered Alex Ross came up with a red/black version with some really odd wings, which I think he's still wearing, when he's not in his Cap outfit. I know a lot of people don't see the point of this particular variant seeing how close it is to the one we already have. But that red/black one is not one I care about either. Really want that classic one from the 70s. And don't forget Redwing!

But I did exactly that in the SEVERAL examples I just gave. Can't understand why you think the inclusion of wings cancels out any other accessory; the Vulture, who came with wings, also came with two accessories (different heads) . Even Toybiz was able to supply a Redwing with the Falcon.

Hope you know I'm not being argumentative but my logic is coming from just what I see in terms of how much plastic Hasbro is willing to use vs their cost. I know Vulture came with some extras but that doesn't always happen for every figure. How many times have we all been on here complaining about a lack of accessories for this or that piece? For instance, my favorite 3 figures from Legends are the Alex Ross Cap, Iron Man and Thor. Iron Man came with 4 blast effects, 2 fists, 2 blasting hands and 2 extra heads. Cap had a shield, 2 fists, 2 O-hands and a throwing effect hand. Thor had Mjolnir and an extra fist. What? Did his cape count as an accessory? It's a dice roll on every figure. Bottom line: I just don't see Hasbro willing to spend the money on a Redwing mold as well as the extra paint. Granted, they would likely just mold it in brown and not paint him. Between the wings and extra hands that to me is probably as far as Hasbro will go on a character like the Falcon. Hopefully I eat my words.

hmm I wonder if her orange will fade if I throw her on the bashboard for days.

Im gonna try to learn highlighting painting techniques for her, it for sure should make Tigra look way better because that sculpt is really good and deserves better paint apps.

Tigra does look good. I'll be happy to add her to my Avengers

She's overpoweringly orange but it's still good figure and just joy to see double jointed female marvel legend and no spindly legs. I just don't know about sculpted fur it's so few and minor that you almost miss it and there's no paint detail to make it pop not sure it was worth sculpting when without fur this would have been reusable body mold parts.

Just by chance Hasbro always seems to get one detail wrong for my personal tastes. With Black Knight, the calm head was under the winged helmet. Id had preferred the calm be under the wing LESS one.

for this Tigra, Id prefer the wild hair to be in the face with no stripes. Small complaint for sure, just a nit pick

Love the Passive Head on TIGRA. It looks great! She's a lot more orange than I thought she'd be but Im not that picky. Looks like a great addition to my AVENGERS shelf.

Agreed, when its essential to the character its robbery to exclude an important accessory. It could be that Hasbro hasnt had the time to sculpt a Red Wing up to the standards they are at now.

Ive got the old ToyBiz one still and it works but for Falcon, were talking about the equivalent of them giving us a Cap or Thor w/o a shield of hammer. No Red Wing is a crime haha

Tigra is in stock, got a couple from GameStop online with only a 2-4 day shipping window. She is synonymous with the West Coast Avengers to me and if the rumors are true and a US Agent, white Vision and a new Scarlet Witch are on the way my WCA display is about to blow up!

I just don't see Hasbro being that "giving" if you will. I'd be happy to be proved wrong but as much plastic as we get between the figure and the wings I just don't see it happening.
