    It was mentioned in a video interview after the fan event thing. It HAS to be a cost-cutting thing, cuz I can’t think of any legitimate other reason.

    I hope it’s just the prototype but Warpath’s head and shoulders are waaaaaaay out of proportion, like freakishly so.

    Sunspot is horrific - his effects are just repainted Doctor Strange ones and his costume is eye-melting. I’m hoping for a classic New Mutants uniform box set in the near future.

    Whilst I’m glad at the second chance to get The Thing I’m annoyed that the deco and paint scheme isn’t anything like as nice as the Walgreens one. SIIIIIIIIIGH...

    I'm pretty impressed with this chap, apart from the eyes. Haven't looked at any of the Cyberverse stuff before. My daughter quite likes Windblade so I hope we get a better mould for her soon.

    Same. Best I can do is squint at this cropped picture... and I do reckon he's shorter than Sideswipe. I wouldn't put it past Warden to intentionally size him the same as Classics Deluxe Bumblebee.

    Those effects pieces with Sunspot have been reused with Magneto, Polaris, Havok, Dr Strange & Adam Warlock to name but a few and the purple ones I got with Magneto went straight in my box of spare accessories.

    I don't mind the Hasbro lightning effects as they can work OK for Storm or Iron Factory Kaon but think they could do with doing a few different effects for specific characters.....the one with the new Invisible Woman isn't a bad start.

    Agree on Thing's paint apps not being as good as the prior release.

    I never went for the Hot Toys Stan Lee so having this one will be fun as headswapping to make Stanpool, Iron Stan, Stan Hulk & others will be a good laugh! :D 

    I'm hoping the BAF for the F4 wave is something I've never heard of from their universe....so basically not Super Skrull.

    Was also looking at the Mezco stand and after showing the Black Bolt/Lockjaw set for about 2 years it's no longer on display which doesn't bode well.....I was indifferent to Black Bolt but that Lockjaw looked amazing!

    @Brooticus,
    Congrats on the new arrival!
