I just want to add here: whoever finally got around to editing the title of this thread = thank you.

Falcon is the IM2 Guardsman with a new head and forearms.

does that mean he has the crappy IM2 hip artic., rather than the improved Avengers hips? If so, I'm glad I held off.

Incorrect - he shares no parts with Guardsman whatsoever.

Thanks Chief. I didn't think that was right but Hypno is usually 100% accurate about these things. Hypno you've been demoted to my #2 go to superhero resource. Chief, you just become #1 Super hero resource and Super hero customizer. Sorry drbindy and Iron Will.

the hips then - what are they?

don't worry, my son apparently feels the same...

Wow. That's really weird. How are the hips?

HypnoHustler · **Posted:** Mon Nov 04, 2013 4:05 pm

And you can't demote me, I quit! Take this arbitrarily appointed position and shove it!

Please take me back.

Please?

I've. . . I've. . . Got nowhere else to go. *sob*

Matter of fact I think Nate is still the only character that has used that "buck" so far.

I believe Tiger Shark used it too.

oh. I don't have that set so I didn't know so I was talking out of my ass instead.

Cable buck needs to be used for a few more figures/characters yet. Not the least of which is a couple alternate, earlier versions of Nathan Dayspring. And X-Man with a new headscuplt for a younger face and more 90s hairstyle.

Actually, looking at the picture, is it possible that they have the same waist/lower torso?
I'll also have to compare when I get home (if you don't beat me to it) because it actually looks like Falcon could have the same lower torso and thighs as the Cap movie line Captain Britain.
I don't recall if the IM2 and Cap lines shared any parts, but the lower torso looks very similar.

I think you're onto something about the Capt Britain torso/thighs, GD. - At least the lower torso on the Blue/KMart version looks identical from here.

I'm calling Falcon the best-articulated Avengers fig to date. The only thing separating him from MU-level articulation is swivel wrists. He's got the bicep swivel instead of elbow-swivel, the hip articulation is much better and sturdier than expected, and his rocker ankles actually work because he has the upper-thigh swivel.

And Pluv - don't go dumping Hypno just yet. This was a total fluke and only came about because I'm working from home today and had those two figs handy.
