BEST: 3-3/4" Iron Man 2 Movie and Comic Figures. So long as the plastic quality does not feel cheap like on the Wolverine Origins line, and maintains the strong paint apps shown on the prototypes at SDCC(metallic like the 6" figures), this line has the potential to do very, very well with not just kids, but collectors. I'm crossing my fingers on the plastic quality, so long as it feels more like Marvel universe than XMO Wolverine, we should be fine. The best followup would be the new hip articulation on the DCIH figures, it's ABOUT TIME!

Worst: The fact that only 6 of the Marvel Legends figure shown at SDCC will be made, 3 dependent on the fan's choice poll, the other 3 up to Hasbro. If Warpath or Wolverine is made, the counterpart is more than likely to be one or the other, since it's a good way to bring the modern X-Force team members into the ML line.

I have a feeling Deadpool is pretty much set in stone, come on who DIDN'T vote for him?

The no-shows are the 1/55 VF-1 Valkyries by Tamashii/Toynami that ARE STILL DELAYED SINCE LAST YEAR REALLY WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS? Still no confirmed Macross Frontier announcement for US distribution via Tamashii/Toynami partnership. Other notable no-shows are the rumored XMO Wolverine movie figures that we have yet to see. Also, I have a feeling a lot of what Hasbro is pulling out for G.I. Joe was held back for Joecon. I also wish the new TF Animated and ROTF toys shown in the TF panel would have been put on display in the cases. IRONHIDE LOOKS AWESOME!
