This picture!
Thank you!

No Old Man Logan at all for you, or will you be holding off on him until they put him up for clearance?

Love Storm, but that figure was out of my collection the minute I got the Hasbro version. Even not having the Hasbro version, I would still advise against buying the series VIII because of the extreme scale difference (if your collection is mainly comprised of Hasbro figures). Her face is about the size of a Bucky Cap fist.

And concerning the Hasbro vs ToyBiz "discussion"... just a couple of things to fan the flames:
It's been a while. Nobody took anything from anybody. If you don't like it, be it old or new, I'm fine with it. Iconic is very relative. Sculpt is an art form few master, while drybrushing and ink washes can be done by a monkey's @$$ (yes, I am referring to myself). Not keeping up with current comics kind of disqualifies someone from having a thoughtful opinion about these comics. I would like to be convinced by the merits of certain figures instead of dumping on others.

Also, as soon as I got my Darkhawk out of package I broke his left arm off. *&^%$#@!
I always give every joint with even minimal resistance a once over with the hair-dryer, but this just fell off at the very first glance.
Found a very helpful tutorial and proceeded to crack open the chest to replace the broken disc with a screw. Worked like a charm!
I can't spot any damage and the arm works really well.
I'm still not convinced by the way they did his wings, but with Falcon Cap in mind, I am content.

And to anyone on the fence about Angela: Wow! This is one great figure!
The simple addition of the roll of the dice wrist gives her so much dynamic posing possibilities! Those two space-sheep-shearing tools are not my cup of tea, but the way she wields and stores her sword is just right.

Kid Nova was severely stuck at every joint, but fortunately no damage there.
I'm glad I got to complete Kamala, Miles and Sam in such a short span of time. On to the next ANAD/Champion!
