I picked up my Thor Legends today. Thoughts:

Ares: I just can't bring myself to like this figure. He's painted nicely and he does have a couple of new parts like ankle pivot. But the figure just depresses me because it reminds of the time when Marvel Legends was about to die. His spot should have been given to Valkyrie and the MCU Thor given an extra unhelmeted head.

Young Thor: He's nice but a little bland when compared to the rest of the wave.

Loki: This is probably the best MCU Loki we've gotten but his face and skin tone look a little strange. His headdress is soft so there isn't any problem getting it on to his head. Wish he would have came with some weapons though.

Hela: This figure is pretty great, especially the head with the horns/spines. The unmasked head isn't as good as Gamora but I still like it. It would have been cool if they had include a swappable hand holding Thor's hammer like in the trailer.

MCU Thor: He's a solid figure but I'm not sure if I like him better than the AOU Thor. Either way, he's still pretty great.

Lady Thor: Probably my favorite of the wave. The SDCC version does look a little nicer but I doubt I'll hunt it down to replace this one.

Hulk: Great BAF. I'd say that Hasbro will retool him into a plain/standard Hulk for Infinity War since they can reuse the head, chest, and arms (mostly).

Final Thoughts: I have a few QC issues to sort out but it's nothing I can't handle. My biggest complaint about this wave is that the capes wobble around when you move the figure. I'm tempted to super glue them in but I'm still hesitant to do this, especially for the MCU figures since they may not spend very much time wearing their capes in the movie.
