Man, I was super excited until the last set of photos there. Even so...

Bill is still a winner. I'd love to have the classic design, but since I'm more in love with the modern ML aesthetic, I'll happily add this one over the original. I'm just glad they actually gave him a hinged jaw.

Rescue, despite the lack of a Pepper head, is an insta-buy. Hopefully I can pick up either a 10th Anniversary Pepper without hassle, or maybe finally co-opt my Vintage Widow head onto her for a makeshift MCU-Comics hybrid version.

War Chungus is... really tempting. Like, I'm with you all about the need for a proper Don Cheadle head for him, but if the half-mask head from the Hulkbuster wave fits okay, I might go for it.

Shuri was always gonna be an insta-buy even before we saw photos of her. Nothing more to say about that (especially since Black Panther is the only MCU film where I've bought almost all the characters)

Rock Python is also high on the list. Despite passing on Cottonmouth (that face sculpt is way too creepy), I will go in on EVERY Serpent Society member I can - the more ridiculous-costumed, the better.

Loki... come on. Gotta have Silver-Age Loki, especially with the 80th Thor coming out. I do wish he'd had a little more love put into him, but sometimes a flawed toy is still worth having.

I am so pissed about Union Jack, though. I have been looking forward to a new Union Jack for a long time, and to see them throw him onto the Bucky Cap body after advertising him on the newer butterfly-joint buck? I bet the team's gonna get at least one angry question about that at the next Con.

Pass on Professor Hulk. I'm already gunning for the 80th Hulk/Wolverine two-pack, and don't really need a Ruffalo-Hulk for my collection. So, if I end up getting almost everyone (or just everyone, since my want for a newer UJ might outweight my disappointment), I may have a Hulk to unload

But, you know, I still haven't seen a damn one of the first wave at retail aside from Quantum Cap, so who knows how much of this wave I'll ever see.
