It obviously varies by area but at the TRU where I bought mine, only Green Goblin had been picked up from the 4 cases worth on the peg. I had my choice of all of the other figures.

At the very least, he should match frames with Wonder Man, since those bosom buddies are close in size (again, Hank's size varies from artist to artist, but at the very least he's the same size as Simon, if not larger).

I'd rather have the bulkier Beast, mostly because the animated series is what got me fully hooked onto the team, and with the other 'Lee-era' costumes that Hasbro's made, are making, or are teasing at getting made, it would make for better visual cohesion.

If you look at the comparative photos, you'll see they are virtually the same size...

Here are a few more group comparison shots. I tried to get them into neutral poses but my Wonder Man is wobbly as hell and does not stand well. Jackal is not the same mold in at least as far as the torso as the ab crunch cuts for the side and back are noticeably different. That being said, both Jackal and Spidey UK are so close as to be nearly indistinguishable from the Reaper mold. The limbs for both are also marginally smaller than Reaper or Wonder Man; particularly the shoulders. The chests for Spidey UK and Jackal are also not as deep. Jackal is marginally smaller than Wonder Man but I would say could still easily work for a Beast that should be nearly the same size.
