Deathlok: besides being a badass cyborg killing machine with an initially cool design, the 4" toy looks pretty nice. The US flag on his chest came out incredibly fine considering how small it is and then they just used all the right red and silver to make Deathlok one of the coolest looking toys in the line.

Apocalypse: Hasbro chose the perfect metallic blue and used the right amount of washing to give the parts that need it an aged look but then the delivery on his head with his lips and red eyes came out great. Apocalypse is actually one of the first figures from the line that I would consider to have a higher level of detailed paint apps.

Vision (solid): not really any washing or shading here, but Hasbro made this figure's colors pop in a very nice way. It also features a metallic gloss which helps him pop even more in any collection, the only downside is that you're gonna be hard pressed to find one for a "good price."

Daredevil (MI 2015 classic red look): this figure has one of the coolest shading effects in the series and is just overall very well painted with a darker almost blood red on most of his suit and then a nice lighter red for his symbol and eyes which makes them stand out nicely.

Hulk (2012) and Abomination: both of our jade giants have a really nice amount of shading and washing that helps them to look tough and mean. Abomination's eyes are a pretty nice gold and both figures usually have well done teeth paint apps.

Rhino: much like the Abomination he is awesomely sculpted and then has a very classy shading wash effect that really gives it that thick leathery pachyderm skin look.

Basically there are very few figures in this line with less than good paint apps unless you look at some of the wave 1 stuff but even then it's still fairly nice. I'd actually say that from the looks of it everything will be downhill from here with all of the new stuff seeming to opt for as little paint apps as possible, no more shading or washing effects just the base colors as needed to detail the character.
