If there’s one thing that Marvel Legends collectors could have confidently bet their life on coming out of Avengers Endgame, it’s that Hasbro would cash in on the sure-thing best-seller that is a “Worthy” Captain America figure. And now that all spoiler embargos have been listed, the announcement has transpired—but in an unexpected way: the Walmart Exclusive Marvel Legends Endgame Captain America with Mjolnir figure has now been revealed!

Walmart Exclusives have been a sore subject for many Marvel Legends collectors this year, as their “Binary” Captain Marvel exclusive figure that was due out in January has never arrived at all and the Walmart website ended up canceling thousands of pre-orders for their Infinity War Corvus Glaive and Loki two-pack.

So to see a new movie figure that most MCU fans would consider a “MUST-have” announced as another Walmart exclusive has definitely been met with some consternation from collectors. But aside from how difficult he may end up being to acquire, let’s have a look at this much-demanded Cap…

It would have been easy for Hasbro to slap an old ML Captain America 6” figure in a new box with a hammer and stick it on store shelves—but that’s not quite what they actually did for this release.

Instead, what we’re getting here is the lower body of Infinity War Captain America from last year mixed with an all-new upper body, arms and interchangeable heads (and I believe an all-new Mjolnir hammer sculpt). There’s been much complaining about “Skinny Cap”, so it’s nice to see a new upper torso that shows that Steve is working out!

And speaking of Steve—we get a Chris Evans Steve Rogers portrait head included with this set that’s really pretty decent. Hasbro shan’t be encroaching on Hot Toys’ territory with this likeness or anything, but it’s a big improvement over their past efforts to portray Chris Evans.

For obvious reasons, Hasbro couldn’t show off this particular Captain America action figure prior to Avengers Endgame coming up. In fact, packaged photos that have hit Instagram confirm that Mjolnir will still be obscured behind Cap’s shield in the packaging as one final attempt to preserve the surprise for those who haven’t seen Endgame yet (good luck with that).

Sadly, no broken/shattered shield for Captain America is included here (it is dirty, at least), which is a real bummer. I think there’s still hope for that with a future Marvel Legends Endgame Captain America figure (perhaps in this fall’s Avengers Endgame Wave 3?), but it would have been nice to see it packed in here.

The Avengers Endgame Marvel Legends Captain America Walmart Exclusive is due out in stores this summer. There are some alleged sightings of the figure beginning to circulate online now (which confirm that the UPC # is 630509816453), but I want to see receipts and see in-store photos before reporting that this Cap is really out there in the US and sending folks into a frenzy.

What do you think of this Marvel Legends Worthy Captain America figure? Are you miffed that this quintessential figure is an exclusive, or have you had good luck with Walmart this year? And if this is the only “Final Battle” Cap we ever get from Hasbro, are you satisfied with it?
