We all remember the Dr Strange wave being "lost" for a while but in the past year I've seen more of the wave coming out. Silver Surfer debuted WAY early in the line and with Galactus, so if you're a new comer it's good to see him again. Falcon has a new costume (I think it's lame) but I give them a B- minus for effort. No excuse on that Captain America though...crappy mold, crappy paint job.


All-in-all, if you're a die hard MU collector who has been collecting since day 1 like me....these don't do much for you. But I certainly appreciate what comic packs can offer us in terms of new costumes and rereleases of hard to find figures

Why dont you expect new charcaters? Mos comic packs have at least one new something- only this latest wave has been crappy repaints.
ALL the Secret Wars figs were new except taht lame skinny Iron Man and almost everything since had one re-issue with some new part or paint and one new character or new version of one (like the awesome Power Man fig).
Hell, even the re-used parts figs like maskles 80's outfit magneto can rock....but these are just weak.
Doctor Strange should be in either his new black and red Defenders outfit or his first outfit with the square amulet and blue cape...
Falcon should be in his green outfit and cap should be in his Nomad outfit.
They could have at least given the Surfer the awesome paint job of the version that comes with Galactus! this looks...dull. No black around his eyes.


And where is that Ant Man/crappy Moon Knight pack anyway?

If they wanted to re-issue older figs, they could make a Constrictor/Sabertooth CP- painting Sabes in his classic costume (they used to be partners and best buds and got stomped regularly by Cage and iron Fist).

Or they could make a nice Guardsman/Venom pack.,,,maybe giving venom some ankle and knee articulation.

Or a full color Vision and Scarlet Witch!

Still, wishing aside, these are pretty cool if you're a new collector and missed these initial releases- Doc Strange can cost as much as a comic pack all by himself.
