Given the sheer number of prototypes and announcements coming out of Funko the last few weeks (everything from Walking Dead to Game of Thrones to Finding Nemo), it was only a matter of time until Funko got around to showing off some new Marvel Funko POP! Vinyls for 2014! We almost always get a couple of new Marvel movie Funko POP Vinyls, so it’s no surprise that Funko Electro and The Winter Soldier POP Vinyls are now on the way…

I was wondering when we were going to start seeing prototype photos for the spring/summer 2014 Marvel movie POP Vinyls, and now I don’t have to wonder anymore. At the rate Funko shows off official painted photos, we should see these fully-revealed around the start of the year. But for now, let’s talk about the prototypes.

First up, we’ve got the Winter Soldier Funko POP Vinyls figure. Well, on the bright side, I really like the mold that Funko used for the Winter Soldier’s body, and I dig his flowing hair. But on the downside, the mask on the Winter Soldier’s face just doesn’t look right to me on the Funko prototype–it reminds me more of Bane than it does the Winter Soldier (but to quell any speculation, the Funko Bane POP Vinyl figure’s mask is a totally different mold from this one).

And from the Amazing Spider-Man 2, Funko Electro POP! Vinyl makes his electrifying debut! Well… maybe not “electrifying”. This particular figure looks a bit plain without paint, but it looks like Funko nailed the body sculpt. It’s probably too much to hope for that Funko is developing a crazy Rhino mech Funko POP Vinyls figure too, huh?

What do you think of these unpainted prototypes for the Funko Winter Soldier and Electro figures, Marvel collectors? Are you sold on these new Marvel vinyl figures already, or are you going to need to see them painted to be convinced (picky, picky)?
