Addendum after opening and posing the figures.
Giant Man is more like Slightly Taller Man but still a nice figure.

The armor on Iron Man's open hands seems to prevent a decent repulser shot pose. Thus the effects are now boot thrusters for mine.

Cap is a big pile of meh.

Nuke is much more impressive than expected. I find myself wishing he was not so huge as he would make a decent base for Punisher.

Red Guardian is basically Cap level meh.

Nick Fury is both nice and disappointing at the same time. The disappointment mostly comes from mine having jellyfish legs. Might be time to try the super glue tightening method. The sculpted gun is annoying and I would have preferred modern sleek to 90s mega pouch but that's minor. I did find myself disappointed in the lack of a larger gun for use with the agent head but I have a few I can swap in for him.

Black Panther is sheer badass and easily my favorite of the group. I am usually not that big on the movie figures but his armor design is outstanding and the figure captures it well. Overall just a spectacular figure.

I preface this by saying I have never been a Namor fan but I thought the figure looked cool. I was definitely right. The sculpt and paint are outstanding. The contrast between flat black and the gloss greens and yellows looks great. As many have pointed out, the trident is by far the low point of the figure as it barely fits his hand and just looks awkward.

I know what you mean Black panther and Namor are so Cool! They are way better than expected. I figured Black panther was cool but Namor was a pleasant surprise.
