ACaptain Americaaction figure fromInfinity Warshows off the new shield that will be used in the highly anticipated movie.Steve Rogers' shieldhas been the topic of debate ever since he placed his iconic round shield down in a moment of disillusionment duringCivil War. It was only a matter of time before the new design hit the web and now it’s here and it’s pretty awesome, with a look that’s reminiscent of theCaptain Americashield from the first movie with a new Wakandan twist.
The new shield is definitely from Wakanda, but it’s unclear if it’s made from the incredibly valuablevibranium. It’s probably a safe bet that some vibranium was used in the creation of the new shield, especially since it looks like some of the valuable Wakanda commodity made it into the final design. The new shield also looks like a throwback to the Golden Age-era shield that first showed up as a prop in the firstCaptain Americamovie. It will more than likely have some secret weapons tucked away as well, but it’s too soon to speculate at this time.
The newHasbro toyalso comes with a set of new fists without gloves and even Thanos' purple head, which is probably not a spoiler for a movie and instead a clever marketing ploy. In addition to theCaptain Americaaction figure,Iron Man,Spider-Man, and Proxima Midnight are also shown in the newly leaked images. It looks like a few of the figures contain Thanos body parts, making sure that everybody has to buy almost all of the characters in an attempt to put Thanos together, which is actually a pretty clever idea. Though it looks pretty weird to see the Mad Titan’s head placed in the packaging ofCaptain America’s action figure, it’s definitely not as awkward as seeing a Thanos leg packaged withSpider-Man.
The newInfinity War action figuresalso give us a sneak peek atSpider-Man’s epic Iron Spider costume as well asIron Man’s brand new Prime Armor. Fans have been quick to notice that it does not look like the Iron Spider costumed figure comes with additional appendages, which is strange since it’s one of the suit’s main features. Who knows, maybe it’s packaged in another figure along with Thanos' spread out body parts.
Thenew action figuresare just the next step in the promotional rampage thatInfinity Waris about to embark on. Plenty more minor spoilers that fans have been asking about for months will slowly be leaked in the coming months until the movie finally hits theaters on May 4th. It will be interesting to see what kind of power thatCaptain America’s new shield possesses inInfinity War, especially since it doesn’t really look like he can throw this shield around very easily. you’re able to check outCaptain America’s new shield along with the rest of the newInfinity Waraction figures through theThe Marvelous Realm Twitteraccount.
