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.

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!

Yep, once I was able to get Marvel Now Storm I gave up thinking about the TB version.

Well said. I don't like the TB figures, so I don't buy them. I'm going to disagree with anyone who says TB are superior to Hasbro, but I can respect their opinion.
Couldn't agree more about the comics either, I see a distressing number of people trashing what Marvel are doing now who when you press them haven't read any of the comics. They just seem to dislike the idea of them which is not something I can respect.

Which Champion would you like to see next? Personally I'd like Viv, but I wouldn't complain if it were Cho either.
