Yessir, opened them all... I'm not terribly in love with them. While I realize there needs to be a lot of color variety on the shelf, it feels like a pack of Skittles. Made up armors in bright, primary colors that aren't connected to anything from a canon standpoint. There's still many armors from the comics yet to be represented, and there's at least another 35 figures in the line, so I'm optimistic.

War Machine actually works well and feels solid. I don't recall if there's any impact to the shoulders; I think I would have noticed if it was particularly bad. I especially like that the body is solid, not translucent, so the glow comes only from the chest beam (the opposite of which was the biggest flaw in the IM power glow, from my perspective). The Reactor Shift IM doesn't work for me; even when pegged in properly, the midsection looks unnatural.

Not a "WOW, OMG" start with this first wave, but I'm certainly looking forward to having a line to carry us through to the next movie.
