To be honest, I am not excited about any of these with the exceptions of Thor and Black Widow. Do we really need another version of Cap? Iron Man? I wonder if Hasbro even understands the potential of this series. I can understand basic marketing. Make the same figure but give it a new paint-job and the die-hards will buy it just to complete the collection. I feel it's kind of a stall tactic to bring out a mixture of new characters with some old ones to milk the consumer for more money. Yes I am bitching right now...and I know I don't have to buy the figures if I don't want too, but I just think it's such a waste
of line-up slot that could be used for other characters. As always this is just my opinion and it really means nothing. |

The thing that i think kills this line is the price of the figures.I mean 8.44???!!!I wonder who Hasbro is paying to produce these figures.Stan Lee must want a ton of royaltes for these figures.Also,I am curious if we will see any vehicles for this line as well.

That Black Widow head is the first "uncluttered" (no mask, head dress, etc) head for the MU line.
If the hair pulls off easily, it may be the new "25th Scarlett" head everyone seems to be using for customs. Super fantastic! Which Bucky is this? Bucky-Cap/Winter Soldier? Hence the dual tommy guns? I'll pass on the Cap... but I want the rest of this wave. |

There's no way in heck they were going to get the entire Marvel Universe done in one year. Whichever B-List character you're hoping for may very well come eventually, but folks are gonna have to be patient, and are gonna have to put up with a lot of repaints and rehashes of certain characters along the way. It's the same reason every new assortment of G.I. Joe includes a Duke, Cobra Commander, Snake-Eyes, or Storm Shadow, and every new Star Wars assortment includes an Obi-Wan, Anakin, Luke, Han, or Vader. |

I like this wave. Hope Widow's variant is easy to come by in the case assortment.
Bucky needs a Classic Cap to go with him, but yes, that'll do till they decide to release US Agent. And I gotta admit that of all the Marvel Characters out there, Iron-Man is one I can handle multiples of. Someday, I'll build that Hall of Armor... Hopefully, this Extremis will be done correctly. Still, I'm tired of Spider-Man, Hulk, Human Torch and Wolverine for a while. Oh and give me some Skrulls and Kree in a giant Generic Soldier Multi-pack. |

Plus the stands that come with the figures seem to be designed for a "Hall of Armors" kind of thing. |
