Man Super7 finally killed it with a wave.   

While wave 1 was cool, especially the Twins in suits, the rest of the wave was kind of "expected" choices that really weren't anything too new.   Just mostly characters we already have in different looks we never had as figures.

This time around we get 2 of the same (Serpentor and Duke), but then they throw in 2 never before made figures, and both of them are large O-ring figures!!!

I also like the look of Serpentor.  I think he is different enough to warrant a purchase.   However Ramar and the Fatal Fluffy are instant buys when I can find them.   I love how both of them turned out.  The looks are spot on and they will go great with my other O-ring figs even though most of them are not really Sunbow looks but rather toy looks.   

Great work this time Super7.  Also it looks like they are the regular O-ring price and not inflated due to their size.

I won't buy this o-ring fig, but It's fun to see what is coming (Artic CC, Wild Bill)

I just got Serpentor, fluffy, ramar and duke. Serpentor and the fluffy are very nice. The other two are ok. My reaction collection is growing... With toysrus liquidating I was able to stock up on the sailors. Nice addition to my tactical battle station. ;)

Wave 3 is currently in preorder. Zartan looks fantastic, I am looking forward to try it under the sun (color changing gimmick)

I am really tempted by some of wave two (Ramar, FF). 

However I'm not deep enough into O-Ring anymore to want to pay the full price ($26).   If it can drop down to $20, or less, then I'll pick them up.  Otherwise I will enjoy from afar.

As for wave three, it is a good wave, but not hitting me as well as wave two.   Zartan looks great, and of course he should have the colour change gimmick.  However I'm deep in Classified so I'll be trying to get the SDCC set.  Wild Bill looks good and it is nice to see the cartoon look over the toy look.   I just wish they had given him a revolver instead of the pistol.  Snake Eyes is Snake Eyes.  Good representation of his cartoon look.   Arctic CC is pretty good, but the decision to paint the coat details on his legs is strange.  From a distance it looks okay, but up close it looks terrible.  I'm sure there was some manufacturing/cost reason behind the decision, but I'm not liking it right now.

The fluffy is the highlight of wave 2 imo. The others are nice, but you know what you are getting. My feeling is to choose and pick only what you like most - then it become more manageable price wise.

Zartan is the star of wave 3, again imo, but the color changing feature gets me.

Yeah the temptation is there for never done before characters like Ramar and the Fatal Fluffies.   It is great to see them finally get a figure.
The rest though are easy to wait for a sale, if there ever is one, because I already have a version of them, or the look at some scale.   Something like Arctic CC is great, but between the design choices and the fact I have CC in multiple scales, across different lines, means I can wait to see if this ever goes on sale.

Zartan would have been a tough choice if Hasbro hadn't revealed their Classified version already.

Man, I did it again and bought 1 cobra soldier and 2 sailors (I am ashamed to say I have too much). Toysrus is closing and the Super7 joes are super cheap with 30% off. No more cobra soldier left, but still some sailors left.

I miss shipwreck, I am waiting for the o-ring version, which they will release... Well I hope so!
