How did you mess this Anton up and give him a blue mask? I’ve been looking forward to Eric Masterson’s Infinity Gauntlet Thor, but how did Hasbro miss on the gold of the boots? I just…whatever.

I’m very happy for the Destroyer and I think I’ll like the fig, but, off the top, I was hoping for more luster and greater size; if not height, larger limbs – biceps and quads.

I dig the ‘starter-set’ Iron Man.

I’m excited about Banner and I need to check the head of my gray Hulk to see what’s new, but I hope I don’t have to buy that Banner with a Hulk in tow ( I know I will tho’).

Queue the calls for another wasted slot for a fourth (count ‘em!) classic Doc Ock, with bendy tentacles. Goody for those that asked for this, but I don’t think it will sell well. Even with those wanting to swap out the tentacles to older versions, most will smartly wait for the 4th iteration of Octavius.

The other Spidey stuff is ok, but it’ll likely be just Spider Woman for me.

Excited for the Sersi and Black Knight 2pack in their 90’s East Coast Avengers looks. Kudos, Legends Team, you successfully nailed that without weird goofs.

Uhh, I’ll nab them, but I would have preferred different versions of Super Skrull and Veranke. FYI make sure to tell Feige that Secret Invasion wasn’t that popular of an arc.

I was just thinking (literally in the last 3 days) that a new Bucky Cap was in order. Good job, it looks good, but I hope that a bionic left arm is hiding behind that shield.

FA Monica is also one I’ve been hoping for and it looks decent to good. However, while I’m not certain I need it and wasn’t anticipating it at all, I’ll take the Secret War Doom.

It’s nice to see that Hasbro has finally gotten around to cannibalizing the old Icons figures to make 6” giants to cobble a Super Adaptoid, but it leverages too much of the Icon’s modern Cap. There aren’t enough composite parts of OG Avengers to make this feel more like a Super Adaptoid vs just being a reissue of that original Marvel Icons armored Cap with a new head and boot cuffs.

This is an animated Doc Ock for an animated inspired line, so no, no wasted slot here. People might not like that it's a two pack with May, but for most fans that's not a problem cause we're buying both anyway. The tentacles will also likely be included with any future Ottos, Lady Ocks, Spidey Ocks, and every other Octopus themed character from now on so it will be fine.
