Well, you had to know it was coming. Three more Marvel models have just been dropped on the Piececool website. Along with a couple of additions to the Datang Small Street line, which looks to be gaining at least 5 more sets (including these two). But I know y’all are more excited about the Marvel models, right? So let’s get to those first…
That’s right, Iron Man, Thor and Captain America have joined the team. I’m not sure how I feel about Cap and Thor, but I know I will be picking up that Iron Man at some point. Cap’s and Thor’s legs (and Thor’s muscles, too) just look really weird to me at this point. Maybe they’ll grow on me. Oh, and if you wanted to know how those will compare in size to the Hulkbuster Armor, they had graphics for that, too.

Now these two seem to be extensions of the Datang Small Street line, at least they seem to be marketed that way. You have the Ancient Academy and the Ancient Theatrical Stage. I gotta say, the paint job on that stage looks amazing, at least to me. I don’t know if it’s the color combination or style, but the detailed pictures are just stunning me. Anyways, here’s the teaser for the additional models that seem to be lined up:
In regards to Cap and Thor’s faces, I am glad Piececool did not use plastic heads for them. Their previous models with this variation are very awkward. The printed faces on these are a more natural solution. I agree that Thor’s arm muscles are also awkward looking; but I don’t mind how the legs are formulated on both models.
Iron Man is quite easy to solve, so no comment is necessary.
Have you managed to purchase the Hulk Buster yet? Crazytoys UK does not have it yet, and I have not found any other place that has it.
I read a comment somewhere that the tiny knees vs thighs/calves thing is somewhat appropriate to some comic book representation, so I sorta understand now. But for me… I just still can’t. haha.
As for the Hulkbuster, I did find one location for purchasing it, and am just waiting for the 11th to purchase it with AliExpress 11.11 Sale Coupons. Here’s the link: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001603812946.html
