    I'm just not finding the remaining articulation to be very useful. With no thigh, wrist, or waist swivel there's only so much they can do. I can't really get any poses at all out of Beast, armored Daredevil, or Bishop. Daredevil can do a wide stance just because he has ankle rockers. (Big whoop..) Might as well be 5 pts. At least they would be cheaper.

    The articulation in this line has always frustrated me anyway. Seems like every figure is missing something one of the other figures has. Shouldn't everybody have the same? I keep thinking back to the super poseable Spidey from the movie line that didn't have pegholes in his feet...

    The Guardians set would be nice if Yondu didn't have that dopey smile on his face.

    The new waves have been showing up at Target.
    Moonknight is actually pretty cool. I love the detail on his cape & hood!

    I don't think I'm going to bother with Moon Knight. I'd like to get the white outfit like you have pictured there.

    I think the whole wave is a pass for me. : P

    I saw Maestro and it looked really good. Almost bought it but I don't even want to pay $12.99 for 6" Marvel Legends, let alone 4" versions of them.

    Well still kinda hoping they'll do a 90s X-Men set after this. Toybiz was really known for that line back then, and they did a great job of incorporating a lot of the current characters.

    Ironically my Five Below still has tons of Omega Reds. The Kohl's next door had one 5POA Thor & one sandy Sandman($11.69).

    Plus there are 3.75" Marvel vs Capcom figures.
    So far just Iron Man vs Mega Man X.

    That set actually doesn't look half bad.

    Picked up a Marvel Universe Magneto at a rummage sale for $1.00 today. I had always regretted passing on him a couple years ago.

    A surprise restock at Target netted me a Lady Deadpool! A shame the hip joints still suck on this mold, but everything else is nice. And hey, Squirrelpool!
