    I'm gonna order Deathlok. He's pretty cheap and it doesn't seem likely my Five Below stores will ever get him in.

    Wish mine had those. All mine has is Civil war Cap. with motorcycle. It would be cool if they released North star and Aroura as a comic pack. Just need a couple figures to be done with the line. Just need ones from the Shanna wave forward.

    Thanks, but I already ordered it. Only $9, that's pretty reasonable. Still cheaper than retail on the newer figures.

    A bunch of figures reduced to $3.99 and $4.99 at HTS still available. Ordered a bunch I didn't have on Friday night, but Vulture sold out before I checked out.

    I just ordered Jugulossus, Chameleon, armored DD, and a couple of others from HTS. Got free shipping.

    Can't really go too wrong when they average out to $4.50 a piece.

    Got Northstar for $3-something at Gamestop, lol

    Not really a figure I wanted but he might eventually make for some good trade bait.

    I just tore open Bishop. He's pretty decent. I can't complain for $3. He's a good size and that makes for a better display piece.

    Really disappointed with Sandman, though.

    Anybody need the Civil War Cap? I got one at Ross. I'm really only interested in the motorcycle. The figure doesn't do anything for me...

    Yeah, I was kind of disappointed when I realized Winter Soldier and my favorite Cap are like an inch shorter and can't ride the motorcycle. :bay 

    But I did go ahead and do some paint work on the bike. I went over all the parts that they left unpainted gray (?) with a metallic. It does look better. It's not great by any means, but at least those areas no longer attract attention.

    I'll probably grab Moon Knight if I see him on the cheap. Not sure why, I know nothing about the character lol.

    None of the other ones are interesting to me at all.

    They all look pretty bad. Funny how the eyes are crooked on Spidey. But the closeup shots are making it look much worse than it probably will in person.

    He looks like he has the newer body with no wrist or waist articulation.

    I for one would prefer 5 PoA if we could get great character selection. What I don't need is to pay $14 for garbage Spidey variants that aren't even poseable...

    This line is officially dead to me. Such a shame.

    Yeah, after ordering the spidey comic pack to get the modern Scarlet Spider, I'm going to be very selective. I found it on sale for $10, and I still feel ripped off. I don't care how much Hasbro says it costs to keep the articulation, these garbage figures are as bad as the 5 PoA starwars t-crotch figures. I'm going to have to transplant Scarlet Spider's head onto a better/older spider-body. This junk figure cannot live as-is in my collection.

    While I'm complaining, why is it so hard to package these guys so that they come out of the package without being horribly warped? The majority of the recent figures I've gotten in this line look like they spent several months riding a horse. They're so bow-legged that they can't even stand. They're in a plastic tray for the love of all that's holy! Who is the rocket scientist in charge of designing the "bow-legged tray"?!

    If I'd known we were in an articulation golden age a few years ago, and that it was quickly going away, I'd have bought more spare figures for customs fodder. I have a lot of spares, but clearly not enough. Aside from Star Wars Black, well-articulated 4" figures are completely gone from the mass market. Maybe GI Joe will make another comeback :)
