Marvel Heroes Pay Homage To Captain America In Spectacular 80th Anniversary Covers

Yeah, between the Eternals and the elvis Modok thing....nothing's off the table. If those ridiculous things can be made why not these.

If they wanted to make a figure of the Widow, Black Cat or Moon Knight, I'd buy it like a sucka, the way things go these days we will see them making these 1 off cover variants before we get say Classic Mandarin, Strange or Falcon (as examples)

Really not feeling the Iron Man one. If I didn't see it next to the other covers I wouldn't be able to tell it was meant to be an Captain Americanized Iron Man. Definitely the weakest Iron Man / Captain America mash-up, with Iron Patriot and Civil Warrior also being a thing.

I'm liking that Widow cover more and more. I have virtually zero interest in seeing any of these in action figure form....but Widow could squeak in.

Granted, Marvel's been doing cover stunts like this for ages, but anytime I see it nowadays, I can't help thinking "Oh look, Marvel's trying to make the next Gwenpool."

Yeah, that's the whole point of a business, to try and make that one super-profitable thing and replicate it. The only problem is you've seen it done so many times, so you know how to recognize when Marvel throws 100 ideas at the wall knowing that 99 will be crappy and one will be Wolverine that they can license and merchandize and make bank off that overshadows the 99 bad ideas. This is not new, nor will it change.

"Tokenism" at it's best right here. Which one is "Rainbow" Cap?

I don't know but I would buy it.

This type of gimmick isn't for me. I don't need to see Captained versions of other heroes, just like I didn't care for Venomized versions or Hulked-Out Heroes. I have no problem if other people want them, but they're not for me.

If Hasbro wants to release a new America Chavez, or U.S.Agent, or some of the brand new alternate Captains that they've previewed recently, I'm down with that.

Okay be honest guys. Who wants these as figures?

The way they seem to be putting out all kinds of figures but only slowly getting to the ones we really want, it wont surprise me to see these being produced soon.

I really don't have interest in these as figures; the only one that kind of gets me is the Black Widow, but unless they put her on the proper body mold, then....Nyet.

With the prevalent "anti-state/burn-it down" mentality floating around, I should probably be happy the House of (Lefty) Ideas is even still publishing Captain America. That's just it, though, I'd rather have one really great Cap book, one really great Cap cover, than a thousand goof-ball gimmick's some editor came up with on the can.
