I've reviewed them at ROC and just picked up the Hulk/Wolvie and Spidey/Thing sets but haven't opened them yet. I really like The Punisher and Beserker Wolvie, but am looking forward to the Wolvie 2 pack version the most.
My only issue is with some of the joints which I think TB will improve on in time.

I've yet to see them in stores, but they don't impress me all that much. Some of the sculpts just look ugly (especially that Punisher one), and the joints look iffy at best. Throw in that I have the ML counterpart of every figure in the first two waves and the chances I would buy these drops from slim to none.

Also count in the fact that these things are almost as much as a Marvel Legend and I completely see no reason to buy them.

I was excited about these, until I actually found them at TRU. First of all, the RPG elements don't justify a higher price for me, especially when mostly collectors are going to buy them, and then toss the cards and other crap in a box. The sculpts are okay from what I've seen, especially Hulk. I think if Toybiz lowered the price, ditched the role-play aspect, and included playests and vehicles, these things would fly off the shelves.

Kanenite: There are reviews for a nuch of them at www.ringofcollectors.comI just shot the Wolvie/Hulk and Spidey/Thing so they should be up shortly. I have some concerns with the joints as Hulk popped into 4 pieces when I opened him  B. |

No problem Kanenite. I do suggest the Punisher and Things figs if you change your mind. If you need help getting them out there let me know.

From the picture of Dr. Doom I saw in Toyfare, he looks better than the Marvel Legends one. Otherwise, I don't need them.

For $8 at TRU? No thank you. That turned me off right away. I'd rather buy the mini statues.
