I completely agree. The glowing green as part of the Spider-Man suit just feels really off. I will say I have liked what I have seen of his new (well new to me reading 6 months plus behind) suit abilities but the green is a bit jarring with all the red and blue.

The lack of Medusa is a little surprising since her only recent figure was in the SDCC exclusive. However with the Inhumans ramping up I kind of suspect we will see a new version of Medusa shortly.

America Chavez or even Dazzler would have been good pics. Im also kinda shocked they didnt retool Captain Marvel. Medusa is coming for sure, and I bet America is being shoehorned into a wave soon. If they made Singularity, I can't see them not including a character as progressive as America and I smell an inhumans wave on the rise.

I kind of suspect they geared the set more toward the Secret Wars version since we can probably expect new Carol and Medusa figures as the Captain Marvel movie and Inhumans tv show ramp up. With Dazzler in the new X wave I am not surprised she was skipped for the set.

I know nothing about Elsa but after those couple of panels that were posted I am intrigued. It looks amusing.

Yep, that about covers it. They are definitely using it as a catch-all phrase while incorporating a few members from the Secret Wars version of the team with a couple randoms. I am just really happy to see Hasbro release a fully female set. Monica will head straight for what will hopefully become my Ultimates team if we end up with America and Blue Marvel as I hope. To that end, I REALLY wish the new Black Panther would have been his Ultimates costume.
