My Silver Samurai had a pretty good paint job, but my Dazzler has a slightly wonky eye as well but are pretty awesome figures With Iceman being pretty standard and decent, I'm really happy with this wave.

Since I've segued into a mini review - my apologies TBM - :

I did make my own adjustment to the Cyclops figure without the optic blast slot, the one with just a little bit of the energy coming out, I cut them off and plan to shave them down somehow - would have liked one head in a pose without any energy effect.

Wolverine is just okay. Nothing really exciting going on here for me personally but I could work him in with some Madripoor type settings. Gonna neeed some mercenary/soldier cannon fodder though to recreate the comic cover it's famous for.

Overall though extremely pleased with this wave as it's given me my most wanted "new" costume for a character Hasbro style , and the alternate Dazzler too, she was a complete surprise at TF, at least this soon.

I've no problem with your mini review, buddy. Yeah, I agree that this wave is pretty awesome. I knew from the moment Hasbro announced the retro series that it'd quickly evolve into a favorite of mine given my penchant for canon figs. The QC paint woes are sadly something I expect from Hasbro, interpret that how will. I'm a little bummed at Siver Samurai, that was my second most wanted of the wave after Storm.
