Now that I've had the time to process the deluge of toy-related news and announcements that has arrived over the past few hours, and I've had time to catch my breath and think, I'm thrilled about the character selection for the Firefly line !

I'm glad that I can finally breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Kaylee made it into Wave 1 . She's easily on my list of favorite characters, right behind Mal and Jayne.

I'm sure that a lot of fans are going to be upset that River isn't in Wave 1, but personally, I think that this lineup is pretty solid.
I wouldn't trade any of the current characters for River, except for Wash maybe.
I'm one of the rare Firefly fans who isn't a huge fan off Wash, but I realize that his omission from Wave 1 would anger A LOT of fans, due to his immense popularity among Firefly fandom, so I think it's definitely for the best that he was included.

I really hope that a second wave gets made, so that we can get figures of Simon, River, Book, Inara, and Jubal Early (for all of the fans who are so intrigued by him).
