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.

Ah I see, thanks for the feedback! How did the new Mark V turn out? I keep thinking that maybe the torso and/or chest is all new, but I'm not sure. It does look better than the Mark V's in this scale from last year I must say.

Also think the set looks like a bunch of skittles, I'm going to cherry pick in lieu of buying most of them. Last year I completed the initial waves of IM2, but won't be completing waves of Armored Avenger this year.
