In October 2024, during New York Comic Con, Hasbro revealed a new wave of Marvel Legends action figures that are associated with the upcoming film 'Captain America: Brave New World'. The lineup prominently features Anthony Mackie’s depiction of Captain America, with a design that includes a distinctive helmet and foldable wings. Harrison Ford also makes a notable appearance as the character General Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross, though some fans have raised concerns about the look resembling a repainted version of the Hulk. Additionally, Danny Ramirez is presented as the new Falcon, Joaquin Torres. The figure closely resembles the character's comic book identity while incorporating elements of the MCU's aesthetic. This release provides significant insights into Torres' character design, incorporating influences from previous Marvel villains, including a green and brown color scheme similar to that of the Vulture. The series hints at the character's backstory, as viewers might recall his role in the Disney+ series 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier', where he was introduced and shown as a competent engineer assisting Captain America. His character also features artificial wings, consistent with the comic book lore, diverging from previous depictions of powers through genetic experimentation. Fans' reactions to this wave of figures are mixed, with discussions underway regarding the quality of design and production choices, particularly in how they relate to the anticipated performances in the upcoming film.
