Ok, here's my little review of the Lizard wave.
Just in case I do repeat myself, I am an 80's kid whom grew up with 70's an onwards, thou I stop reading Marvel on the 90's (too busy clubbing). So because of that and other reasons, I am not that fond of Prowler, Noir, Punk, Gwenpool and Lasher. Spider-woman, Lizard and Mysterio I know very well, thou not the latest stories-except for Spider-Woman, since I always liked her, since a Marvel-team-up with Hulk I read as a kid.
Here's my review:
Most of the figures feel quite loose and thus, hard to pose without them falling. Also the plastic on some feel I little bit hollow. I first notice this with Tombstone.
Saying that, I like all the figures as they are mostly new characters, or ones I didn't own before (Mysterio for one, Lizard I have an old TB one somewhere).
From less to more liked, my thoughts:
SPIDER-MAN NOIR: I hate the stiffness of the cape. It's hard to pose and the arms don't point forward in parallel. He feels the cheapest. Good mask thou.
LASHER: Believe or not, I don't own any symbiotes (I kind of lie since I have original TB of She-Venom and Scream, plus black Spidey), but I like this guy. Thou I felt the plastic was a bit hollow. Paint and tentacles are cool. Like the feet too.
PROWLER: I always found his design boring, but the figure looks good, and I like the cape and the menacing sculpt. The boot cuffs fit better than Cyclops, as I hated that.
SPIDER-WOMAN: I read her latest comic and liked it, thou I will always prefer her classic costume. The glasses are cool, but I'm terrified I will lose them. At least one extra hand extended or shooting would have been great. The hair is nor quite line up on mine, but at least it doesn't have those dents as in Mockingbird. The face sculpt looks very familiar but I cannot place it (it's not Silk, thank goodness). I need a bike for her. Luckily, the next Widow have one.
SPIDER-PUNK: no idea what's it all about, but I love him. Fun cool concept. I might pose him with my Freddie Mercury, Janis Joplin et al. Love the snickers and jacket.
LIZARD: Crocodile Lizard is more MY Lizard, but sayin that the head sculpt is phenomenal. One small warning thou: clip the head, legs and tail first without the lab coat, it will be far easier. Also, I hate the segmented tail, looks weird. He's hard to stand up. Throwback from the articulated toes, but again, hard to stand without the tail.
GWENPOOL: A character I know next to nothing, and who's comic i avoided like the plague due to the Deadpool gimmick. But this figure got the mostlve in accessories. And the bright colours will make her stand out on a shelf. I totally get this is the Miley Cyrus of super heroes, but her heart shaped hands can look wicked next to my Munch The Scream from Table museum. It's funny. And I don't want to be a grouch towards millennials.
Her joints are weak, and that pisses me off. But it tells me how we get to get so many figures in one year. And that is cutting costs and have less controls on the QC of the figures.

Overall is a good looking wave. It doesn't wow me as much as the Black Panther wave, but I love the diversity of characters, and the fact I did not own most of them.

If you got to this point, thank you for reading. I'm off to Barcelona, where they have a lot of vintage shops, so I hope to find something unexpected...
