Ironman looks like he's about the same as the ironman 2 movie line if not better(though missing torso swivel of any kind and ankle articulation), thor is the same as his movie line though more detailed(again missing ankle and torso articulation), and captain america looks like all kinds of win with the swivel cut thighs even though he doesn't have lower torso swivel(which would be hard for all of these with the details), he does have upper torso swivel it looks like. All three don't look like they have any ankle articulation, but they are still leaps and bounds above the GL movie toys with the elbow swivels. I don't mind the lack of ankle and waist swivel if the details stay that awesome though. It's a shame for cap though. He needs the ankle articulation more than the others do, like black widow would and hawkeye would. I am hoping they just retool the black widow IM2 figures head, and use it recolored to match the movie. So it might be a mixed bag. The sculpts on the three pictured though are utterly amazing.

EDIT
You know looking at these figures, you can see some of the limbs were probably prototypes and may have some bits added still. Though I'm not counting on it, cap could still get ankle articulation. It looks like some of those limbs were thrown on other parts that already had the articulation like cap's thigh swivel, but new mold boots.

After seeing these up close and in person at SDCC, prototype or not, these figures suck when compared to what we know is possible in MU via the likes of Cable, Jim Lee Cyclops, Dr. Strange and Steve Rogers. I personally do not like the lack of an elbow swivel or bicep swivel on the cap figures and in some cases also the lack of a wrist swivel.

I won't even begin to critique to Thor Line. I pretended it just never happened. The Iron Man Line was definitely the better supplement line for MU with a few of the Cap Comic series added (Crossbones and Bucky Cap specifically) to be fair.

Bottom line, Comic book movie toy lines are starting to become to movies what their respective video game productions are; underachieving and disappointing. You might get an exception here or there, but I'd say they're few and far between.
