Seeing Green Goblin and Hobgoblin together also makes me think that I'm fine with my old versions too. I felt so much glee opening and posing the old figures that I don't think I'll feel the same. I know most of these waves are pretty cheap now but I don't think I'll buy them.

Your review of Symbiote Spidey makes me think I might want to try to get the Rulk one. I love the highlights of it and I do like some variety.

See, I'm glad I don't have the Toybiz ones (Well I did have their Hobby MOC, but I gave it away to Toys for Tots a few years ago when I was certain I was no longer going to bother with Marvel stuff anymore) so I don't have to feel compelled to really compare the two, because honestly, I think Hasbro's Legends put the Toybiz ones to shame. Sure, Toybiz had unique sculpts, but I don't like how their thighs were pretty much balls (like it is on the BAF Sandman) and they didn't use ratchet joints.

My Silver Surfer is horribly misproportioned with oversized feet, loose knee joints, his head is too circular when it should be an oval shape, and the finger articulation, while cool in concept, makes the fingers look deformed when you try to put them into fists.

As for Symbiote Spidey, I opened up my second one and the joints are perfect. I still had to heat the leg up to fix it, but no issues with joints at all on him. It's just that his paint job isn't as good. And you know what, Sandman looks pretty bad ass when I have two hammer-like pieces on him. :-D

I'll definitely preorder the X-Men wave, but I can do without the GotG wave. The only figures I need from it are Darkhawk and most likely Death's Head II.

So I took some new pictures of my Spidey shelves:
