TBM: Thanks for the detailed reply. I've been aware of the site for years, but I never stumbled into those pages. Very interesting! When grouped by sculptor/team, you can really see the similarities in style - although some seem to be listed multiple times (seems more common amongst DC figs) so I'm not sure what's going on there. Team effort, perhaps?

I'm currently displaying the new Green Goblin and the old Hobgoblin - but I'm tempted to switch Greenie back over and see if I can make my own Dreadknight from the new Hasbro effort - as I don't think I'll be spending on the Raft set. I was also thinking of displaying both Goblins - with one being Norman and the other being Harry. It's funny, the excuses I make to myself to bend my own rules. Entirely unnecessary! Another example: I've got 5 Dr Dooms on the shelf. In my mind, the 4 Toybiz ones are all Doombots (although technically only one is, so he's the only one unmasked) and the more similar coloured Hasbro one (Epic Heroes - rather than Ronan series) is my actual Doom.

I think I get a bit bothered by the size on some of those IMs. Both the 2-pack and Extremis both look not quite big enough to actually fit a dude inside, when displayed next to my preferred Cap, Thor, etc. However, I don't think I'm fussed enough that I'd want Hasbro to include slightly larger versions of those armors in any upcoming BAF waves. Maybe as a single release (Walgreens, TRU, etc) that I can choose to buy, but not as a "Well, you have to buy this figure again if you want the BAF...".

I finally opened my Netflix wave - as they were a Christmas present so I had to wait. Other than the obvious, already documented issues with Blade standing up straight and Frank's single jointed (and frankly, <ahem>, quite odd) elbows - I'm pretty pleased. Man-Thing's left bicep swivel scared me for a bit as I thought I was going to twist the peg off - but I think it's okay. I won't be replacing TB Bullseye on my main shelf, however I may add the new one to my Dark Avengers display instead. The likeness on the Netflix figs, especially the girls, is amazing. Right up there with Hela. Makes me excited to get the BP wave.

Also got 4 very nice Lego sets this year. Possibly best Christmas for toys for quite a while!
