Cool, did not know that, now I feel stupid for passing in it awhile back. I was like, "what the hell is this see through bs" now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

Anyone think it's kind of weird that none of the new waves have army builders?

I still think the smartest thing Hasbro could do would be an entire Wave of army builders. It's pretty much an excuse to buy a case or multiple cases.

Yeah!

I don't remember if the SS's and Peter had two different cloaking ways or if they were all the same since I didn't read much of the SS's in action. What I mean was while they were nearly invisible, Peter's was portrayed kinda like how a Predator cloaks himself. Completely see-thru with just abit of silhouette of where he might be, while the SS's, at least in every book I read, were always portrayed as just being slightly transparent. Never found out what was up with that. Might've just been differences based on artist's interpretation.

I think it's just one of those things left up to interpretation. I'd recommend reading A: The Initiative, was a great series.

Yeah, I think so too. I kinda remember a panel in one of the tie-in books where Tony was saying something around the lines of Peter's suit being slightly better than what the SS's had, that may be partly due to the fact that I think Peter worked on it abit without Tony's knowledge, but I never really saw much difference other than the fact that Peter utilized the waldoes on his back extremely well to kick the shit out of Cap with his own shield.

Thanks for the recommendation, imma check that out.

I'm hoping they will hit retail soon and I'll get some sales. I did notice that BBTS even has the whole wave in stock now. I had canceled my preorder because they changed it to September. Oh well.

also no one has said anything about wave 18 and i think 20 are female free

Just wondering, did the Mandarin ever wear a costume like his IM2 figure in the comics? I'm reading Iron Man: Enter the Mandarin right now, and he's worn the classic robe, or a battle robe that looks similar to the figure's costume. Also, I'm wondering if he actually uses the energy sword he comes with in any appearance.

Other than that, the comic two pack is awesome XD
