They look very nice though. if your a marvel legends fan you'll probably like em too though be aware that they are very fragile. Its a matter of popping it back on...
Good point though, no screws, you can play with them in the bath LOL

indeed Pete, I got them at legends who just received them. Guys, I'm feeling like an eight years old again, I've been dreaming about this kind of figures all my life lol. Finally, joe sized super heroes
U.S. or Canadian packaging?

I was hoping they would be a bit cheaper but when you compare them to smalljoes prices, the single figures are $8.99 USD and the 2 packs are $14.99 USD, so TRU's price isn't that bad. I imagine if these ever show up at a place like Walmart i could see them being $7.99 a pop.
To answer Mike's question, American packaging (no french).

I just found these at Toys R Us in K-Town. The 2 packs are $17.99 and single packs are $9.99. They only had one Wolverine/Hulk 2 pack but that was before I got there. They still have 4 or 5 Spidey/Thing packs as well as a bunch of Ghost rider, Doc Oct, Punisher (ugly freaking head) and black Spidey.

I picked punny up for $7 at TRU over the border, and he looks awful. Kind of like he didn't drink his milk and is suffering from a bad case of osteoporosis. You have to put him in a jacket to make him look somewhat passable. He doesn't come with weapons (except a single rocket launcher) but can barely hold the joe ones anyway.
The only other fig that I would consider turned out to be the chase one, and I don't care enough to chase them down. The plainclothes Wolvie is likely the best in the bunch, so naturally it's the chase one. :?
These could have been a lot better. I'm also coming to the conclusion that superarticulation and detail seem to work better for 6 inch figures. (microman and stickfas aside) ...

If they claim they make these for the collector first, why are they suddenly showing up at major retail (ML10 and 11 as well).
Just makes no sense. Now that they're out in Canada, I won't be carrying them.
Way to go Grand/Toy Biz

To bad it screws over the smaller guy. Seems like the only markets the stores here in K-Town can win at is the stuff from Japan.

I don't know if I will complete my set of these or just buy the ones I like.

I want a few from wave 2 and perhaps some from later waves.
Their flimsiness is an issue if play is the aim, but for static display they are okay.
Microman does this scale and degree of articulation much better though.

The other problem I have had with these, is there are Chase figures - and I have never seen any of them! Really annoying, get hooked on a line, and then not have a hope in hell of completing it without going to a scalper or ebay!@#
I looked at the game that came with my starter sets, and it didn't really appeal to me, I didn't really "get" the shoot the other figure to knock them down part.

When I was 11 years old my Dad and I played a similar game with the Battle Corps figures w/ the spring loaded launchers.
It's for kids, and it's awesome.
They're pricey, yeah, but I dropped over $100 on four Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children figures. So I'm already long gone.

Elektra looks more than a little anorexic.
For some reason, I got doubles of some cards (Magneto's entrapment, Mole Man's undermined and the Sabotage panel) If anyone wants to trade, I now have extras to unload!
