I know a fair amount about the character and Kyle deserved better. The head looks nerfed, the cape lacks gun barrels, the claws feel retrograde, the symbol on his chest is f'ed, and the boots are wrong. It's a hodgepodge mess of a couple of different costumes. Nighthawk has many fans out there. Ol' skool Defender heads and those familiar with the Squadron Supreme. I'm sure most of us will buy it, but damn...it wouldn't have taken much effort (nominal care) to knock this one out of the park.

I really want this upcoming Beta Ray Bill because it is still Bill but my expectations are very tempered.

Agreed, we've waited patiently and they have had plenty of missteps from which to learn. It's bad enough that the Stormbreaker, both hammer and handle, are too big. And the costume reeks of 'who cares?'; a total blow off. If they were going to opt out of classic-Bill, I would have preferred De Vito's revised look from the end of the Stormbreaker story. Well, let us (you and I) hope they do Beta Ray Bill Thor justice.

By the way, I nabbed that Herc off ebay! lol
