Why Falcon didn't get the 'Winter Soldier' look in 'Disney Infinity'

On Tuesday, more Marvel characters will join the toy lineup of Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes. Fans can pick up figures of the trickster god Loki, as well as Falcon, a Marvel hero with more than 40 years of history in that universe.

The flying hero Falcon, who can be seen above in action in Disney Infinity, first appeared in Captain America's comics in 1969, becoming a series staple through many runs. He also appeared as part of the Avengers for a short time, as well as in the Ultimate Spider-Man TV series.

When Avalanche Games, the developers of Disney Infinity, began working on Falcon's design, Disney suggested using the last series as inspiration.

"When we create any Infinity figure, we want the most iconic and appealing version we can find of that character… the version we think the fans of that character will appreciate the most," said Jeff Bunker, vice president of art development for Avalanche Games. "We have found over the many figures we have done that when we listen to the creators of the characters and make them happy, that we will ultimately make the fans happy."

Many fans might wonder why Falcon's military-inspired costume, as seen from Captain America: Winter Soldier, wasn't the chosen outfit.
