One of the, at least for me, surprising releases out of Endgame was the 2012 Captain America figure. It's not like the first one sold particularly well, and I figured it's release was simply due to old stock lying around and repurposing it with new heads.
Turns out it's very much a top to bottom overhaul.
So new heads, as expected. Unhelmeted sculpt seen before. The helmeted head is actually what sold me this figure as it vastly improves upon the original one in terms of detailing and accuracy to Chris Evan's facial shape.
The actual body itself is taller than the oriiginal one, which I gues I should have expected seeing how Cap has changed between AoU and CW/Infinity War/Endgame, and has gained ankle articulation.
The uniform was completely redone, using modern materials and improved tailoring, which of course, means articulation is further restricted. They got rid of the loose hood gimmick, which I honestly can't remember ever being used. There's also been comments about how the lighter blue of the new one isn't quite as accurate, and frankly they're probably right. I just don't recall enough to say either way, nor have I actually rewatched Endgame.
It's not Black Widow, after all.
Accessory wise you of course have his shield, thankfully a modern one with the improved paint work and straps on the inside. As ther is no strap on his back, nor does he actually do it in the movie, there's no way to mount the shield to the back of the figure. You also get Loki's scepter along with the carrying case, which are nicely done and of course, makes more sense than giving Cap a Chitarui rifle like for the first release.
So overall, a very nice glowup overall for this particular version of the character, though it's not one I would have ever thought would be a great seller. The guy is going to be in museum poses anyway, so you might as well have him look good, and the functional ankles will at least allow for more natural looking poses.

The second Exclusive Edition that I got in 2022 was Android 16. Like with Android 17 and 18 the year before, this is a reissue of the original toy, spruced up in terms of finish, and based on what photos I could find, this guy certainly needed the glowup.
I have to say for such a pivotal character, he doesn't come with much, and I'm certainly disappointed in the lack of battle damaged parts (head aside). The forearms do come off so you can replicate his ultimate attack, which unfortunately did not seal the deal.
The sculpt is alright, but the articulation certainly is reflective of the age of the figure. The figure features pull down hips because, well, if he didn't have them, Android 16 would have NO leg articulation whatsoever. Shoulder design is certainly quite good, given the release date, though the rest of it is predictably limited. Some smart decisions, such as adjustable shoulder pauldrons, help to maximize what's avaiable.
Emotion wise, can't exactly say the faces run the gamut of what is possible. Then I remember that its not like Android 16 was Mr. Personality on the show. It would have been nice, however, to have had the bird included in the set to work with the smiling face, at least.
At the end, this isn't a bad figure per se, but it's just kind of average. I'm just glad the effort to obtain this wasn't some astronomical feat of human endurance.
It took almost a year, but I was able to finally finish an art project of mine. It's not surprise to people who know me (and people who aren't blind) that the Hot Toys Scarlett Johansson Black Widow releases have been.. acceptable at best Even the best sculpt, however, was paired with a body that looks like its from a 12 year old boy.
So, I bought a few Worldbox AT202 bodies and started experimenting, seeing if I could shove them into Hot Toys suits, which admittedly were much better than the crappy spandex body suit options out there. I ended up doing three - Endgame, Solo, and Snowsuit, to varying degrees of success.
Ultimately, despite stretching out the suit, the AT202 basically could pose the same way as the Hot Toys body, with slightly better elbows/shoulders and much sexier looking curves..
I am also fortunate enough to have made friends with some talented artists, including someone who can actually do hair. As such, I was able to have a Hot Toys Civil War head rerooted.
She's not perfect, but I think that at the very least, she turned out decently.
