Interesting idea and nice job. I know I myself would **** it up if I tried to do something like that, but I never thought of what you did. BTW, what is up with the different Black Widow repaints?

Anyway, the remaining 3 of the Hulkbuster wave arrived today.

War Machine - I'm not sure what to think of him, which sucks because he was one of the original three I was planning to buy. He has no articulation in his ankles, he only came with one gun even though there are two holes in his back (and the gun was even attached to the wrong side), but most of all, his shoulder guards are weird. The one on the right side is on a hinge (like the black Iron Man) so it can lift up while the one of the left side is like the Thanos Wave Iron Man and is not on a hinge, so you have to bend the plastic when you life his arm up. The Rhodey has is really cool though.

Thundra - This figure is a lot cooler than I was anticipating. I only know of her through the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon but the figure is huge. I'm not a fan of them using the Hela thigh joints, but they work for what they need to. The mace and chain is a cool weapon to even though it makes me think that she has hooked up with Absorbing Man.

Valkyrie - Like Thundra, she has the Hela thighs and I'm pretty sure they are nearly the same sculpt sans the front side of the body. She is cool although her sword is sticky due to the tape that was keeping it in its place on her bubble. There isn't really too much to say here other than it is cool having another Asgardian.

Hulkbuster - Oh man oh man, OH MAN!! This thing is awesome. I had absolutely no interest in this thing at all because I have never been a fan of that particular armor, but my god is this thing beautiful. It is huge, the colors are perfect, and the articulation is excellent. It is a little hard to rotate his upper body. That aside, I have no complaints.

Oh yeah, and the paint on all 3 figures is excellent.
