    How can something be awful and not as bad as I was expecting at the same time? Nicely done Tonner. ;-)
    Fresh, not from concentrate.

      Exactly my thought. Still more masculine than Aquaman IMO. He couldn't beat up the Little Mermaid. Saw it at NYCC. All of the females are incredible and the Potter line looked OK so I guess they can pull off kids but the men are far from intimidating for Superheroes. I bet the Tonner Hall of Justice is nicely decorated though. It must look FA-BU-LOUS!!!!!!! It;s probably a nice shade of mauve. Yellow is so last week.
      It's not a doll it's an action figure.

        Unmasked Cap looks like he belongs in an Ambecrombe & Fitch ad.

          Cap looks strange in that fax Leather outfit, kind of baggy as well, reminds me of the 2 different comic stories when cap lost the Super serium effect and reverted back to the skinny weak Rogers (one story was in the early 80's then the 2nd was 2000's) He looks really mad with the mask on (Guess you would to if you were some kind of super solider and they made you looks thin and so Gayish looking)
          Tonner has always had this issue with their male line.
          Now As for poor Wanda, The face looks slightly manish, and the outfit while made nicely, is not as detailed as it should, and looks home made, kind of like a custom. I think the best line they had so far, has been The original Supergirl release, and the Huntress. Their Skinnyman oops, I meant Spiderman 3 was so thin, he did not even look good.

              The sad part is they could have hired Liefeld to design the Cap doll, and it would've looked better.

                Well, on the brightside, at least this one has feet.
                You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                  Tonner should stick to the ladies, they do them justice.

                      They're BOTH too skinny for my taste.

                      Wanda has never been that skinny, not even in the comics, and he looks like he did before he was injected with the Super Soldier Formula.

                      Plus they are WAY too expensive.

                      Not my cup of tea at all.

                        i don't care for the line but this Cap is definitely not the worst of them. i guess i can even see the appeal to a certain buyer - (that buyer would not be me though)

                          It's like Ken is going to a costume party in the 90210.

                            I don't care for Tonner stuff, for many of the reasons cited above. But I think the uniform is far from terrible, & would look nice on a bulkier figure/doll.

                            Oh, & could we discuss this without homophobic wiseacre asides?

                              Well, she does have a beautiful face, and a nice head of hair.

                              The costume is spot on, although I don't really remember Wanda having that drapey split skirt.

                              It's just that she's so skinny!!!!

                              In some respects, she's skinnier than Barbie is, and that's saying something.

                              As for the Cap, he looks too danged young to have been born in the 1920's.

                              Not that Cap in the comics looks old; he looks about thirty-five-ish.

                              This kid looks like he's just out of high school and is going into college.
