Very cool, I still cant find the variants. The only one i really want is the white Sasquatch, although i would buy them all if i found them.  ;D

Someone has posted some pics of some upcoming figures over at the Spawn boards, including ML, F4Classics, and SMC.  Figures we've known about and seen "cartoon mock ups" of before, but these are the actual figures:

Hydro-Man, Spider-Hulk and Hobgoblin

Dragon-Man, Kang, Invisible Woman, Thing, Human Torch

Loki, Lady Deathstrike

Other links/pics are posted in this thread over at the Spawn boards.  Personally, I'm kind of excited to add a Hobgoblin to the collection, since I missed the earlier version.  I actually might pick up the Spider-Hulk as well, just for the heck of it.  I've wanted a Hydro-Man, but I'm a little surprised at the look they gave him, I'll probably still pick it up though.  The F4 classics are interesting as well, are we still supposed to see this wave at retail?

Hydroman is a bit disappointing ???  I guess I'll wait and see it in person. 

The Hobgoblin more than makes up for it though, wow :o  I have the first and it's still a very nice piece though more demo-goblin-ish.  But to get the classic colors is just great news.  He'll be hard to find for a while.

Got my variant Iron Fist today :)

As my order has now been delayed until April, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest I won't be getting my Iron Fist.  I also had unmasked Wolverine and Bishop on order, but I don't foresee those coming either.  Also cancelled my Scarlet Witch order since she's unlikely to arrive for a while either. 

Yay Amazon ::)

Don't recall the time Scott, but it was December 30th as a preorder.  It's quite possible I was too late in the process.  Nothing on the order other than those two and I didn't give the option of shipping separately.  I'm deluded enough to think that a retailer as large as Amazon.com can actually manage their business in such a way that orders can be managed similar to BBTS.com's "pile of loot" approach.  That's folly of course because it would require some sort of effort and management system. 

The above is for Iron Fist.  Scarlet Witch was pre-ordered back in December but I just gave up.  I bought one off ebay last week for $9.99 and said screw it.

Picked up Iron Fist today.  All I need is Bishop and I can make Apocalypse.

I finally opened up X-23.  I thought her right right arm could go all the way down.  It doesnt, I broke her arm off at the ball joint.

Leader's good, but I need another Hulk? ::)

Red Skull sucks, badly, thank goodness I have the first version.

Kingpin will do.  I think that's fairly comic accurate.  Would like to get the variant DD though, just to have a somewhat different version.

Thanks for the pics Scott. :)

I think that Captain America is the bees knees, they really hit a homer with him

Kingpin and Leader are also nice

I also think that Hulk may be the best one yet, but I really don't need one either

I didn't look closely at Cap, I presumed he was the later version, but on closer inspection he looks a bit like a hybrid of the two.

Red Skull = lame  ::)

That Hulk isn't too bad IMHO. The Captain America and Kingpin look well done. The Leader looks ok, but I suppose its hard to make an amazing action figure based on a skinny guy in a suit with a big head. Daredevil looks a bit off to me; his boots and gloves don't look that great IMHO, but that may just be on the prototype and not the finished product.
