Scourge, or "Demolition Man," is not a new buck from what I can tell. It appears to be a re-purposed MCU Electro buck. This isn't a terrible thing because that Electro buck was pretty cool (IMO) and the retool looks just as good (better, IMHO).

As for Taskmaster, the brand new limbs are earmarked for Dr Doom...again, IMO. Taskmaster is fantastic and the standout fig of the wave, for me. My old Taskmaster is officially retired and relegated to retro pics from here on out. Bring on DOOM!!

Whirlwind is very pose friendly and on that larger-in-between buck that we saw with Grim Reaper...sidenote: I have to look at all the figs that use this buck to see how similar or dissimilar they are. The fig is everything I wanted it to be, except, I would have preferred fists.

Cottonmouth, great face sculpt, but beyond that...nothing to write home about. He'll only come into perspective if the rest of the Serpent Society gets made (most notably: King Cobra, Asp, Death Adder, Sidewinder, Anaconda, Black Mamba, Diamondback, and Princess Python...I can't see many of these characters actually getting made. King Cobra for a Spidey-line maybe...would be great to get Cobra and Mr. Hyde as a 2pk of Spidey foes...

Mocking bird is new buck also. The fig seems to be as tall as Beetle and about as lithe. Her head is proportional to her body and I'm happy to report that those initial pictures were as inaccurate as I had anticipated they would be. I like the fig a great deal and it may be my second or third most favorite of the wave.

...and Onslaught is a work in progress, but looks great so far...posing that thing will be interesting. Some of the figs greatest aspects are covered up or hindered by the pauldrons on the shoulders.

Glad to hear that you're mostly satisfied with the wave, TBM. I'm personally looking forward to Whirlwind, Mockingbird, and Taskmaster (god, that Udon-styled head pushed me over the moon), but it's good to know that the other figures are pretty nice standouts.

Also, seriously, cannot wait for Onslaught. Even if his articulation is impaired, I don't care. Getting heavily into comics around the Onslaught crossover, plus spending years playing Marvel vs. Capcom have given me an intense love of that design.
