The "first" three waves of this year really are spectacular, and just show how far this line has come. The paint deco on Kang is exceptional, I love the metallic purple and the shades chosen overall. Same with Beta Ray Bill, the metallic blue really makes the figure pop. I can see BRB, Kang, and Adam Warlock together right now, with there metallic paint jobs, what a funking Cosmic force to be reckoned with.
Punisher, She Hulk, and Scarlet Witch are great. Finally a nice Punisher! You can never have too many Ladies, especially gives us another new female body (I never noticed those double jointed elbows before! Winning!). Kraven will need some work b/c they gave him that funky red eye, but he's great as well. I love getting Spidey characters. And Beast, man Beast is the epitome of what this line can do when the effort is there, what a beaut.

Soooo...is "squatting" the theme of the new card art? Every single character seems to be squatting down.

The quality of the card art has decreased at the same rate the quality of figures has increased, imo. Frank Cho was the best, then Deodato (sp?) was ok, but not spectacular, and for series 3 they let whoever was around do the card art. Now for series 4 it looks like some are done by professionals, but others look like they just grabbed somebody off the street to do it.
I'll take it if it means improved figures, though . |

Exactly. It's like Hasbro told the artist that they wants to see the full body. The artist was prob like, "how is that possible?" Then Hasbro was like, "Brainstorm!! Have them squat down!!"

Meaning, they are not random selections. Typically figures that get made are making headlines in the current comics. Therefore, I am curious if there is a big cosmic push coming from Marvel.

well I couldn't pull the trigger on the PGX graded book. I may have done it if it was CGC.
