Seriously though, these figures could be so great if not for some of the worst quality control I've ever seen.

I broke down and bought Deadpool and the two costumed Wolverines from the Origins line at TRU today. I looked through the whole three cases worth of figures on the pegs and found the nicest paint apps. I'm guessing it was just Wave 1 since I didn't see the Victor Creed or unmasked Deadpool figures. Most of the rest of the characters are an outright joke (Maverick?!?) and not even worth a 50% clearance price...
I also snagged the Resolute 5-pack for $17 since they're apparently on "clearance" in the TRU system. Not a bad price for that BAT that everyone raves about and the two troopers can become alternate Freds with a simple head swap. Cobra Commander and Duke will not be a part of my collection... ;-) ***EDIT*** They still had two blue Iron Man figures, one Punisher, one Silver Surfer, and several Spider Man and Human Torch figures. Anyone need these? I can go back to get items for regional Tankers...

Sorry to double post here but I just opened my Resolute 5-pack and I wanted to add my initial comments...
First off: I don't like that Cobra Commander at all. Before today I never bought any Resolute figures except the blue trooper since the head swap I did made him into a SWAT character. The regular Cobra Commander didn't do it for me and neither does the one in this set. He can't sit down let alone bend his legs properly, his helmet doesn't fit or stay on right, and the cape looks goofy to me. I'll totally sell it or trade it to anyone here. Second: I hate Resolute Lurch, I mean, Duke. His head is big, square, and devoid of any emotion. It looks like a dead fish. I wasn't a fan of the original one, either, so I never picked it up. To make this version more palatable I swapped heads with the blond, bearded "Breaker" green shirt to make a Resolute Topside or someone like that. I almost made a Resolute Flint but the Wave 11 head sits too high on the neck so I opted for a new character. Ditched the goofy glider pack and stuck the helmet back on and it works enough for me to display it. Third: Resolute BAT is OK by me. Looks like "inferno BAT" or what you'd get if a BAT was chasing you through a raging fire like in The Terminator. Either way the charred look to it makes a unique upgrade to the appearance of the BAT. Fourth: I much prefer the red troopers with Fred heads and Crimson Guard helmets on them. The red on the boots matches the helmets pretty nicely and ties the whole figure together. It looks like a Resolute Crimson Guard and will be displayed. Overall it wasn't the worst $17 I'd ever spent in my life. Get rid of that Cobra Commander and what's left isn't too shabby...

I doubt it, I dunno why but I have a feeling that the line has ended for now.

Hall of Heroes New 7 Packs and suppossedly the final wave of vehicles but I really doubt those are coming. Got a set of the new Joe and Cobra 5 packs at Arlington Heights Target for JimmyPSHayes. Check targets if you need these, they have em. Also Arlington Heights Target has 3 Resolute packs, 2 good ones, 1 with a Baroness instead of a BAT.
