Excellent! Looks like we're finally getting a Captain America sized model with butterflies. Guess it's time to start going back over that catalog of previous figures made using the Reaper model.
The turnaround for the SHIELD 3-Pack
Turn-Around.mp4We do need a classic comic-accurate Colleen Wing--she is long overdue. But you know what?? Include her and Moses Magnum in a 2 -pack--harkening to X-men #118-119 and ya'll will shut me up for a good long time.

I'm almost certain the character in the SHEILD/Hydra 2 pack was meant to be Sharon. It looks like her and I must say it's a better looking head sculpt than either one of these. I just think they realized they could make a bit more money at a later date by packaging her with another set of known characters. Either way between the Quake/Maria figure and the female agents pack I think Sharon has plenty of options. But I do wish they would do an actual white suite female agent.
P.S. I know it is somewhat accurate to what Sharon looked like while she was running around solo but between the collar and those funky looking running shoes does anyone else think this might have been meant for a much anticipated Colleen Wing figure and they decided to go with a Sharon figure first? I mean Colleen is only a head sculpt away and it would have been just as accurate if not more accurate to have done Sharon on the standard female mold.

I agree. A heavily strapped female buck would have made Shield agent Rogue possible with a head swap. Im not sure the Quake figure has enough armor and such.

I would have desired this far more, for me it would have given a chance at an alt costume that was different for sharon, sure this is an alt costume, and as I said before one of my main collections is Women of Marvel, all costume variants are considered but I do think I'm going to make this one in the set my Sharon, and the previous Sharon will be a White Widow stand in since I already gave her the SHIELD/HYDRA set blonde head, it works enough for me.
1. Sharon's outfit is from Brubaker's Post-Civil War dead Cap era. The figure is 95% accurate. The costume's leggings end a little higher and in a split. She's wearing black heeled boots to match her belt (holster) like any fashion-conscious person would. The reason it looks so off is because the ankles of the leggings aren't sculpted and the black slits visible. There is one promo photo where the ankle slit is painted on, but not all photos show it and it looks like the packaged version doesn't ultimately have this. I would've liked the painted detail if they aren't going to sculpt them, but for me it's an easy fix. Also, her hands should be flesh colored. She didn't have gloves on, but againeasily fixable.
2. You want Sharon in a SHIELD costume? Get a Quake/Maria Hill and use one of the alternate heads in this set and pop it on there (I did). I'm glad they didn't waste a slot in this expensive set for something so pedestrian. This is not an "alt" costume. This is a main costume she wore for years in a great era of Cap comics. Their previous version was low-effort and inaccurate. I'm really surprised they used the super-articulated body.
3. The Dum Dum body was said to be a little thicker, so perhaps the Gabe head would've made sense, but nobody else's extra head would. Plus there are already a lot of new sculpts in this set so any more extra heads would be unreasonable.
4. The Countess (Val) did not wear anything like this. A sculpted head would be nice, but her costume is mostly a standard SHIELD costume. She could be a standard release as she is a named main SHIELD agent. Plus her MCU counterpart is established and coming out in the Thunderbolts movie.
Aside from the costume details on Sharon Carter, this set is an excellent offering. I was working on a Dum Dum figure and I've already made a more accurate Nick Fury Sr. figure, but I'm retiring them because these are near-perfect. I'm only upset that I have to buy 2 because I want both Furies in my display.

That would have been a great idea.

Also, when can we get an Agent Brand?
Yeah the Shoes were always a throw off, they look horrible, and I'm not sure where they got that from, did she have those silly tap dance shoes in the comics? ah well, still want it. My need for 99% of all comics lady figures won't let me scoff.

Definitely picking this set up! I can't remember, is this set going to be available everywhere or a Fan Channel exclusive?
