My thoughts exactly.

Did we really need a FOURTH repaint of that Colossus figure???

I guess it depends on the region. when this wave hit retail in my area Colossus was totally peg warming...Juggs not so much but it was easily available on hunts.

WENDIGOOOOO!...I agree with Goldbug
I can see myself buying a loose Juggs and maybe buying the IM pack just to open it and have a Mandarin to display. Pretty meh, but I can see why they did it.

colo/juggy pack yes
im/mandarin pack hell no (unlless i get ichange my mind)
hulk/wolvie pack should have been done years ago

BBTS already shipped my Thanos/Warlock and Sinister/Gambit packs- I dont know if they'll be at retail by new year's though.

As to these....
PASS.

Really- the Armor Wars comic itself ahs like six amazing potential villians that would have got me to jump for joy, even with the re-use of the Silver centurian armor fig....instead we get a mandarin repaint.
Not a good one either, as he's never worn red.
Ever.
Hell, they could have made a Beetle with minimal effort- just a basic buck, wings and new head.

I'll but the Hulk pack only if it's the only way to get that Hulk- I passed on that Wolvie a hundred times and I'll pass here otherwise.

Peter vs. Cain is an easy pass as well- I have my Juggy and, unless I'm making a Thunderbolts custom team, I dont need a helmet-less version.

Disapointing to say the least after the current crop of amazing comic pack awesomeness.

Hell, they could have done an Avengers Thor/ Beta Ray Bill and it would have rocked...Or anyone from the Avengers and Kang...

Something with at least ONE new figure would have worked!

NoodleChow · 12-17-2011, 12:32 AM

weird that we'll be getting that hulk twice. comic colored one in the 2 pack and a darker single card in the beast wave.

kinda wish we were getting more older figures on the newer bodies like a black widow and nick fury 2 pack. that'd be a pure win.

or a cable vs bishop would be amazing to go with greatest battles. i'd love another cable figure to open.

Jason Abbadon · 12-17-2011, 12:41 AM

Green Hulk vs. Red Hulk- change the pants legs and the heads...and paint.
Ant Man and Wasp (tiny wasp) vs. Absorbing Man with Avengers #265 (I think)

Whatever works.

They could have made Cap vs. Whirlind- it would just be a custom head/helmet and arm blades for WW.

Spidey vs. Firelord.

Surfer vs. Super Skrull

Reed vs. Doom

iLegends73 · 12-17-2011, 12:47 AM

automatic PASS. even tho colossus has a different costume and hulks a new sculpt

quipp209 · 12-17-2011, 01:06 AM

yea u right. so far every comic pack i was able to find in stores. even the DP/TM pack. i only saw those twice tho

cabrican · 12-17-2011, 01:17 AM

I would prefer a green mandarin but since I've given up on finding the IM line mandarin, i'll take red. the walmarts and targets around me havent put out anything new in quite some time.

I just went to Walmart today n I asked the lady working in toys if they had two packs in the back n she said yes were stocked full so i asked her can u bring a box out n she said no the shelf is full so i asked her if I buy all these off the shelf can u bring some more out n she said no we can't help scalpers lol i just laughed n told her, her shoes were un tied lol

KingLouie731 · 12-17-2011, 05:57 AM

I would have much preferred any 2 pack version of this comic, pictured below, masked or unmasked. but I would realy like this version of IM's armor & Mandarin in the robes but instead we get a red outfit and an armor I already have as for the rest: if this is the only way to get the new Hulk I'll buy it but otherwise I don't need or want any of these for my collection

Man it does make you look scalper-ish.

fosterlager · 12-17-2011, 08:40 AM

I want Juggernaut, but with a helmet. Maybe it's in there and Peter can wear it too.

That would kick ass!

bmorr · 12-17-2011, 09:28 AM

i would kill to own an MU version of that armor. I grew up with the 90s power hour or whatever it was called on Fox Kids that played the cartoon.

Saint Phe · 12-17-2011, 10:48 AM

I actually really want that Juggernaut, specifically because he's not wearing a helmet. Hasbro knew that's the only way they could sell me this set of duplicates.

Good Stuff · 12-17-2011, 11:07 AM

I came across the im2 mandarin on sale for $9 but was so unimpressed with it's size I passed.

Tho I did pickup the War Machine with interchangeable heads.

Exodus · 12-17-2011, 11:25 AM

Passing on all those, if I didn't have Colossus and Juggs already I would have gotten that one but eh...

FancyPants · 12-17-2011, 12:31 PM

Getting mandarin. I don't see anything wrong with him.

LXL_Guy · 12-17-2011, 02:06 PM

Only thing wrong with Mandarin is awful choice of red. They could have just repainted a diff green or something since using the same mold as Iron Man 2 comic fig.

Is the Juggs just helmet less then or does he come with it so one can just place back on as needed?

Symbiote · 12-17-2011, 02:10 PM

The only one I'm interested in is the new hulk mold. That looks badass.

I've heard TRU has gotten some of that Mandarin wave in. Your mileage may vary.
Other places to check for Mandarin wave:
