Hasbro has no plans to make a Marvel Legends scaled movie Falcon figure, so I felt I had to make one myself. This one was pretty time consuming, and I had my moments of self doubt, but I’m glad I pushed myself to finish it to showcase here. The torso is from an ML Bucky Cap, the legs are from a movie Winter Soldier, the arms are from a Punisher, the head is from an ML movie Blade, and the wings are from an X-Men Classics Archangel. I added goggles to the head and it was resculpted and reworked to look more like Anthony Mackie. The shirt pockets came from a NECA Hicks, I used styrene for the zipper, sculpted all the fabric wrinkles in Aves Apoxie Sculpt, and used the harness straps from a Survival Suit Bruce Wayne. The hands come from a movie Nick Fury figure. The back leg armor on Falcon is from an Ultimate Iron Man. The wings were the toughest part. I reshaped the Archangel wings some, and used lots of reference images to get the design right. All the detailing over the wings was done with styrene. Very time consuming. Very frustrating. But something I felt was important to do to get Falcon right. Of course everything was painted accurately to the movie, down to the camo pattern on the pants. Last thing to do was to give him some pistols and a flight stand. And now Falcon is ready to fight alongside Cap to take down Hydra!

Hasbro has no plans for a ML scale movie Falcon?? That's nuts!

If they do, they haven't announced it yet, and you'd think it would be out the same time as the other movie Captain America figures. Marvel Select will be releasing one this Summer, but their figures are on a 7" scale and too big to really fit in with Marvel Legends, at least for my liking.

Yes, it wasn't until I started customising that I found out exactly how many different figure scales there are. Always sucks when you spot the perfect limbs or accessories for a project and then find out that they are not the scale that you need.

Yep. I hate that. It's why I stick mostly in the 6-7" scale, because there are just so many parts to choose from. However I often find myself wishing I could magically scale up G.I. Joe parts (and accessories). I know I could, but it would be costly and time consuming. G.I. Joe figures on the 3 3/4" scale might have the most diversity in terms of parts and accessories.
