That said, all this fig really manages to do is make me expectant of another canon Loki in a similar look.

Sonequa Martin may want to take Hasbro to task and sue for unlicensed use of likeness on Monica. Hasbro couldn't have made a head sculpt that looked more like her had they tried. Too bad she's transitioning to a "Star Trek" property rather than "Star Wars," they could have saved that face-sculpt for a toy off her.

I was very excited once I learned that Elsa Bloodstone was going to be released, but the figure's face doesn't scream Elsa to me. The collagen/botox injected lips seem more in-line with the false-beauty trends so popular nowadays rather than marking an earnest attempt to bring the character to life. Her appearance in Nextwave showcased a longer face and lips that were pursed most of the time...thin even. That fact coupled with the vapid look on her mug which definitely stands in stark contrast to the often scowling/screaming face of the character, make this a mild miss.

I'm happy for Sif, but that fig doesn't try very much to hide it's hodgepodge roots in previous Angela/Enchantress/and now Loki parts. I know that's to expected, but this feels very "mailed in." Sif deserved much better.

...and She Hulk...man I didn't wait all this time for that. It isn't TERRIBLE, but again, empty vacuous looks hurt many of Hasbro's latest offerings. I get that they wanted to avoid the grinning look that adorned the previous iteration, but Hasbro could have done better than this newest version. Funny how Phoenix gets three heads with two looking very similar to one another. The budget-line for one of those heads could've been better used here...

I'll be grabbing this set, of course, but there is some disappointment. No wonder the official photos were so fuzzy and distant looking. I said this back when Hasbro announced "more figs than EVER before," but too much of a good thing goes bad quickly when missteps begin to outpace inspired work.

I completely agree about the vacent looks the A-Force set has. She Hulk and Elsa look particularly hypnotized. None of the figures look "great" IMO but I will take an alright Monica over none (she is the main one I want from the set). Agree with you on Singularity, I could think of many others I'd rather see, but it is what it is. Sif and Loki I'm neutral on. Honestly, She Hulk looks the worst out of the bunch, which is odd considering is is probably the best known of all of them (if we remove Loki's recognition due to the gender swap.)
