Look what I found at TRU today:

They actually had all 7 and an extra Cap, but those are the only ones I wanted. Unfortunately, to say I'm a bit disappointment is an understatement. First off, after the phenomenal paint job on the recent Spider-Man wave, I expected this wave to be just as good. Instead, all of the figures look like they were painted by 12 year olds and done as quickly as possible just to get the figures out in stores at the same time as the BvsS toys. With that said, my individual figure thoughts:

Cap - I love him, my second favorite of the wave, but I preferred the way they did his shield on the AoU one with the straps instead of a clip. The problem with clips is they tend to scratch off the paint over time. I do like that the shield can attach to his back, but there must have been a better way to go about this, especially since the entire shield is painted rather than sculpted like the movie one. The Cap sculpt itself is fantastic and I love the head. The biggest paint issue on him comes with the white on his upper arms. They painted white over the blue plastic but did one coat so the blue bleeds through it. Very sloppy. Oh, and his arms were deformed due to the way he was packaged. The wolf head is kind of cool though even though I don't get the context for it. Nevertheless, this is the best Cap figure I have ever seen.

Sharon Carter - For being a repaint, this is laziness at its finest. She suffers the same eye problem that Kraven, Ghost Rider, and Misty Knight suffer with the left eye being painted close to the left side. Also, the paint work is sloppy with unpainted areas along her back while her leg was bent in the package. At least she came with some type of gun.

Taskmaster - He leaves a lot to be desired. First off, I don't understand the point of the skull head with the white hood because it just does not match the body at all. It looks like it belongs on an entirely different toy. The head with the matching hood is so much better. Secondly, his legs are loose and the silver paint has swirls in it. Alas, I bought him for the Red Skull head, but the head is way too big to put on any regular body (was planning to put it on the body of my extra Fury).

Mockingbird - Okay, aside from a little bit of paint slop, this is easily the best figure of the four. No warped joints. The eyes are nearly perfect (which was questionable since they look weird with her glasses on). Oh, and she looks great in almost any pose. The only issue is her head is a little loose as if the hole is a CM too big for the neck peg. Nevertheless, I'm having a blast with her and I'm glad her weapons are not the soft plastic used for DD.

Right now, I have no plans to get the rest, but I may break soon just so I can complete Capcom Boss Red Skull.
