Ah I see, just as Star Wars Transformers are always shelved with Star Wars toys instead of Transformers. :/Originally Posted by Pulse
It's nice to see that Hasbro's at least attempting to make a back-story for these toys, even if it's not in-canon with the rest of the standard Marvelverse(s).
I am remotely tempted by the black Palpatine repaint. At least the robot mode will bear some resemblance to the character, and a black shuttle might be cooler too, if not strictly accurate. I have a rule with SWTFs - I only get those from the original trilogy. Palpatine is they only one I've missed so far, because the grey version was shite.
Getting a bit sick of all the marginal characters being used for making SWTF - we've had about 6 or 7 different mould and paint variations on stormtroopers/clone troopers, but we still don't have a Leia, C-3PO, R2-D2 or Yoda! Surely we could have a Leia/Speeder Bike? Admittedly, I'm unsure what they could use for Yoda and the droids though - there weren't really any vehicles associated with them.

Which brings us to where we are today...
The plane mode colours are awful... and yet this could still be better than Hasbro's Powerglide...!
The index link for that image above of the MTF Captain America is:

Scroll through the first few images to see:
- Red Venom (recol)
- Silver Ironman (recol)
- Thor (new) (edit by griffin - called it Captain America by mistake)
And here for a few more photos of the MTFs in the Hasbro display from that same website:

I think that last one is supposed to be "Thor".. at least that's what i read somewhere else today (i forget where). I'm not familiar with the character though... if that toy is actually Captain America, consider me disappointed!
