New Pop! figures for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite show off unseen premium alternate costumes for Chun-Li, Ultron, Gamora and others
Wild West Chun-Li? Yes please
We're very excited and not surprised at all to see that Funko Pop! is coming out with vinyl collectibles for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, but the hype jumped up yet another notch when we noticed the costumes a few of these fighters donned in their Pop! iterations.
The figures (to become available in November) are shown in packs of two, and feature some premium costumes. While we've already seen Captain Marvel's, Chun-Li, Ultron, Rocket and Gamora's are brand new reveals.
Chun puts on more of a Western stage performer look, while Gamora wears what looks like a silk hood and royal, flowing robes.
During a talk with Marvel, Funko's Project Manager, Erin Macke, spoke on the costume choice for the figurines.
"In general, we tried to use premium alternate costumes found in the game and this is actually the first time anyone has seen these alternate looks," he explained. "While the costumes we selected may not be those that fans will think of first when they picture a character from the game, we think that will make for a very exciting and fresh take on these beloved characters."
We do see what looks like an in-game model for Chun in the gallery, but will have to use our imaginations for what Gamora, Ultron, X and Rocekt's character models will look like for the time being.
