Great review - and if I could find these figures at retail I would purchase them.
$10 is a little steep, and when you consider there are 12 of them it gets pricey really quick.

Anyone know how hard the variants or complete sets are to find?

It appears that the cases put out were revision 1 cases.  That means there was no Bullseye or "FLAME ON" Human Torch.  Instead there were doubles of IM, SPIDEY & Wolverine(?).   

Technically there are no "VARIANTS" per se.  Each figure is numbered from 1-12 in the first wave.  So while Stealth IM and "FLAME ON" Human Torch are a variation of the other figure, they are numbered separately from that other figure.

Last night I opened my figures and they are great.
Much better than the SHS figures that Toybiz released a few years ago.

Spidey is shorter than Black Panther which is a nice detail.
BP doesn't sport double knee articulations and has a swivel waist instead of a ball jointed torso.
I hink I'll put his head on the black V1 style Snake eyes...

I am gonna save my money for Joes but today I saw what amounts to a major sighting for this line. Wal-mart in east London had nearly the whole line spread over three pegs. That Wal-mart is open 24h. If I was better off I'd have snatched them for Ebay.

Multiples of: Iron Man, Punisher, Wolverine (four or five of Wolvie)

singles of : Torch in blue costume, Daredevil, Black Panther, Spiderman, Silver Surfer

I bought the 9.5cm Iron Man and Spidey yesterday.  I'm really annoyed that the pelvic bar is made of plastic rather than metal like in the Joes. >:(

That being said, the sculpts are great, and the I reallly like the black detailing on Spidey's costume (not a fan of the blue, however) and the metallic paint on Iron Man.  The accessories are understandably lame (why does the web make a massive doughnut behind Spidey's arm??), but the intel dossiers are fun.

I snagged the wolverine.  Was on the fence for a while but caved.  $12bucks after tax is kind of silly for a little figure so I don't think I'll be buying anymore(buyers remorse).  Then again some of the other figs look cool and I broke down for this one. :-

Got Wolverine yesterday.
My very first Wolverine figure ever.

I like it, I like the black and gray suit. Some Joes will get his gear though.

Iron Man is way cooler than Wolverine. I think it may be the best on in the line.

Iron Man FTW.  The sculpt is great and the paint is terrific.
