Looks sweet, I'll be looking forward to these for sure! Iron Mans toyline failure is kind of baffling, in the sense that I can't beleive they managed to screw that one up. I mean here's a movie line where having multiple versions of the main character actually makes sense, what with all the different in movie suits, but the case ratios, and saving all the secondary characters till wave 5 (finally getting HAMMER drones) was just a stupid move. They sold well initially, and then instead of having new cases of new figures to put out when the original waves were sold, they send out wave 3, which had 1 Whiplash and a bunch of repacks. I really hope they don't screw up again, cuz these lines have a lot of potential to be loads of fun.

Eeowch, probably gonna be a pricey item if/when it happens. I think I'm gonna avoid these, they're gonna take up a lot of space if the size of the actual figures i any indication.

Well the sideshow pretty much proves that Hasbro is determined to kill this line dead. So many Iron Man repaints.

New 6" Iron man guys though like Crimson Dynamo and Titanium man though. Thats pretty cool I guess.

I wonder if the Xizor pack would have done better if he'd been packed with Dash Rendar instead of Leia. Nice to see theres some hope of these being revived someday though, it was always one of my favorite sub-lines. I'd love to see them get a full run of Heir to the Empire. Still quite a few characters they could do from that.

They had a pic of the Gam Guard in the slide show presentation and he does have the fuzzy stuff there. Looks waaaaaay better with that. So does Wicket for that matter, heres hoping the actual release has a more natural paint job like that one.

These look neat. Lots of really wierd and freaky design, which I like. I'll probably grab the first wave at the very least. i wonder if theres any hope of these hitting Canada.

Pretty neat reveals, but I'm still leaning toward not getting a sub. If it was just the 12 monthly figs  again I'd have no problem signing up , but I'm not sure I'm gonna want to fork over all that extra for stuff like Battle Armor Skelly and the larger beasts. I might just try to fight it out every 15th, and hey, even if you miss one, they re release everything now eventually, so it's no big deal. Now onto the reveals, I think they're all pretty neat, but the standout for me is Vikor i think. he just looks friggin cool in a Conan kind of way. Wasn't expecting much from him but he stole the show for me.

The direction this line is taking is very disappointing to me, though I'm not at all surprised considering it's Mattel. Honestly, all those new figure reveals and only one of em is actually not a GB variant. Theres so much potential here, considering all the neat ghost designs and whatnot, but they just keep putting out minor variations because of their "lets reuse these molds to death" policies. It works for DCU and MOTU, but for Ghostbusters? Not so much.

Nope, just the standard swivel hips. Vislaz has the ball joint hips though.

The articulation is better but I still think the sculpting is mediocre for the most part. I picked up a Martian Manhunter with the new articulation a short while back, and while he looks decent enough, he just feels brittle, like he's gonna fall apart if I look at him wrong. The joints are all very loose. Mattel needs to work on their QC so badly.

Some really cool looking stuff coming from this line by the looks of it. Theres a new 3 pack with racetrack Whiplash (thank god because no one is ever going to find the regular release.) a drone and a repainted Mark V, a basic Whiplash armor, comic series Whiplash and Mandarin. Just a shame that the glut of wave 1 stuff will probably prevent us from seeing any of this stuff. In any case, I really hope these get out there in decent numbers.

252
Found these today, picked up Vislaz and Sing and like everyone, am very impressed with them both. But didn't the early pics of Aurra have her with balljoint hips?

253
I think he's got ball hips now and better proportions than the previous Luke. Not sure about the headsculpt though, I thought the last one was better. Hopefully they're swappable.

I'm hoping for the same sort of thing as the Iron Man and Wolvie lines, that being a separate comic series line on top of the movie line. Here's hoping they'll have learned their lesson from the last two bombs though and not pack in a million Caps with no villains. A nice comic Cap, maybe a new Bucky, Red Skull, Hydra Soldier, Baron Zemo, maybe Crossbones or somthing? That would be neat.

Yeah, that planet Hulk looks like he's in a whole other world in terms of sculpt compared to a lot of the other MU figures. Look at the texture they added on the skin, looks great, hope this is a sign of things to come.
