As for my thoughts of the new figures...

Old Man Logan: Not my preferred Wolverine, but a good choice that breaks away from the 'standard' Wolvie design and will be good for an Extraordinary display. As some have said, a 'young' Logan head would make give the figure a lot of flexibility for displays.

Shatterstar: I'm mixed on how to feel, because I've never been a fan of the original costume, but at the same time it's so well-executed on this figure. I'm buying him either way (gotta support the X), so I suppose it's more important that the figure looks great than how I feel about the costume.

Shocker: HELL YES. Don't personally have any complaints. Good reuse of the energy blasts, nice added sculpting for the gauntlets and kneepads, and while it'd be nice to have sculpted texturing for the 'quilted' parts of the costume, I can see why Hasbro opted not to go that route, and don't fault them for it. Now where's Overdrive?

Sandman: He is a DAMN good looking figure that I personally have no interest in owning. Expect to see his pieces go up for sale when I get Shocker, 2099, and Kamala (and maybe Green Goblin). But seriously, the heads and the arms are fantastic, and make him look a lot better than the SDCC figure led me to believe he would.

Adam Warlock: I have no personal investment in him, but my wife thinks he looks outrageous enough to buy, so there's that. I do wish he had his cape and staff, even though I know those aren't part of his NOW! design.

Death's Head II: Friggin' shocked that he's getting a figure, but I can't say I'm excited for him. Mostly because my heart belongs to the ORIGINAL Freelance Peacekeeping Agent. Sequel's never as good as the first one, yes?
