Joshua Cassara: I had been working some SECRET EMPIRE stuff when my editor Tom had approached me with this. : Joshua, how did you end up working on the Falcon? Once I was hired, I made it known that I was interested in writing comics and the universe came together and here we are. The entire experience from top to bottom was incredible great, talented folks that loved working in the Marvel universe. So, I sort of abandoned my development and went on to have one of the best creative experiences to date. I had two shows and a movie in development at the time, but I’d wanted to work for the company so badly that I took the interview and fell in love with the show’s creators. My agent told me about a Marvel series that was looking for a writer at my level. Rodney Barnes: I was working on season two of “Vinyl” for HBO when midpoint we were cancelled, and I needed a gig. Marshall Rodgers’ DOCTOR STRANGE, Miller’s run on DAREDEVIL, Claremont/Byrne/Cockrum’s X-MEN, Barry Windsor-Smith’s “Red Nails” stories in CONAN … I could go on forever. I loved the Jim Starlin’s WARLOCK and CAPTAIN MARVEL books (early Thanos was great!). I clearly remember reaching in this huge box and pulling out the Neal Adams issues of the AVENGERS. I must’ve been eight or nine at the time, and I recall this area where they’d keep comic books. She’d do her lesson plans at the public library in Annapolis, Maryland, and I’d go with her. Rodney Barnes: My mother was an elementary school teacher when I was a kid. What are some of your first memories of discovering the Marvel Universe? What are some of your favorite storylines? : Rodney, this is your first regular series for Marvel, but I understand you’ve been a fan for a while. We caught up with Barnes and Cassara to find out what they have in store for the high-flying Avenger! Rodney Barnes, the award-winning television writer who has worked on “The Boondocks,” “Everybody Hates Chris” and “Those Who Can’t,” will team with Joshua Cassara (SECRET EMPIRE: UPRISING) to bring the former Captain America back down to street level – and take him to places he hasn’t seen before. Captain America doesn’t have thin arms so I don’t know why they didn’t opt for a double joint on this figure.While the events of SECRET EMPIRE have not been kind to Sam Wilson, this Fall the hero will return to his roots as he leaves behind the shield and returns to his original moniker, the Falcon! I know that there is an issue with double elbow joints for female figures is because of the delicate nature of thinner arms. First off, the arms seem a bit stubby and really could have benefited from having double elbow joints. Although this is a well-made figure and looks great it does have some negatives. The multiple points of articulation gives you a wide range of possibility for display as well as play. Like all of the other figures from Diamond Select, Captain America has multiple points of articulation. Cap comes with 2 additional sets of hands, wings, “Red Wing” drone and his iconic shield. Besides the face, I also need to mention the uniform…the costume looks great as well.Ĭaptain America stands approximately 7 inches tall. Some companies are content with making a generic head sculpt but not the folks over at Diamond Select they are all about the details. This figure looks great and bears a strong resemblance to Anthony Mackie who portrays Falcon on the Disney Plus channel. Let’s start with talking about the sculpt. This Disney Store exclusive depicts Falcon as Captain America as seen in the Disney Plus show, Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The figures they produce are relatively inexpensive, well made, look great and have multiple points of articulation what else could you want? One of the newest figures from Diamond Select Toys is the new Captain America, Sam Wilson. It has never been a secret that I love the figures from Diamond Select.
