I'd pump the brakes on some of the aforementioned sentiment regarding the Antman/Ultron wave in its entirety.

While I was dismayed to learn that I would have to continue to wait for a proper comic version of Ultron, I did build the movie fig and found its articulation and faithfulness to the character's film design noteworthy. If you want to complain about the plastic used for the fig, or the paint application, then I can appreciate where you are coming from. However, when the hater-ade spills over into the line as a whole, I certainly cannot cosign on that broader condemnation.

Most of that line was wanted by many fans. Tiger Shark, Bulldozer (on the strength of completing the wrecking crew alone), and the Grim Reaper were all considerable wants in my book and looked forward to by loads of collectors when pics were first released. Even the modern Wasp update, replacing the sub-par M.O.D.O.K. series modern Wasp (*talk about under-achieving?* while better than the Spider-Woman on the same buck, the fig was still quite fugly), was greatly needed to create a decent Mighty Avengers line-up.

Everyone's entitled to be enthusiastic (or less than so) about whatever they choose, but I would caution against disparaging an entire wave based on the strength (or lack there of) of a BAF. I'm not a movie fig guy, nor am I that impressed by AoU the flick in general, but I can still see some of the positive things they pulled off with the BAF...enough to merit my keeping it...hey, it was better than that Groot non-sense see how subjective 'kneejerk' commentary works? lol

All that said, I was only into that wave for (in ranking order): 1) Tiger Shark, 2) Bulldozer, 3) Grim Reaper, 4) Wasp....and even the human sized Giant-Man was ok. It was the movie based BAF and the movie based Antman that were 'throw-ins' for me...

Additionally, for those that only want the BAF of a wave and not the other figs, the current crop of legends aren't holding their value as they did in the past (the exception being some exclusive stuff from sdcc and hard to find stuff Storm/Frost etc...), just wait six to ten months and grab it for $20 to $30....delay the gratification and save yourself the aggravation...
