Saw wave one at Walmart this morning, and I have to say it...I'm actually impressed with them. Klaw and Constrictor are a bit on the weaker side, but Rogers, Thor, Iron Man, and Ghost Rider all look very solid. Hell even Hope doesn't look bad and Hasbro usually sucks at female figures.

Yeah, they do look pretty good!(Steve's face is a bit messed up though) I'm probably gonna pick them up.
I did see a couple Iron Mans at Target. $14.99 is a little better than $17.99...

I know I talked a lot of shit at the beginning of this thread but... Saw these at Wal-Mart tonight! I was in a deep lake of denial, trying to justify myself for selling off my collection and as most of you now know I'm going to start getting them back. These really do look great! The sculpts, the paint apps, the color POP big time! I got that old hunt feeling again! I sure hope they continue to be this good.

Cool. Glad you snagged the set Mags. The Walmart that I spotted them at had the whole set, but they only had the variants and not the regulars for Rogers, IM, and GR. The only figure I want from wave one is the regular blue GR, so of course I can only find the variant version so far.

Ghost Rider looks so silly. I like the generic biker look.

Well, my infection has begun.
I was putting it off and putting it off...but I caved and grabbed Hope and the translucent shield Rogers variant at Walmart this morning.
I'm definitely impressed with them. Like Mags stated earlier, the colors really pop and the sculpting is top notch.

I can't find a normal Ghost Rider anywhere. I've seen about 7 different orange ones. The Targets around here still haven't done their resets, and Meijer has only had variant cases. I only stumbled on a regular Iron Man once, and he was the last figure on the pegs at TRU. On another note, I ordered Daken, Fantomex, and Thunderball from TRU's website. I also got a Bucky cap that I had ordered from Amazon last week.

They look a lot better in pictures taken by the people that have bought them. The stuff I saw from their booth did nothing for me. but they do look pretty good in-hand.

Don't care for the design of Iron Man, I think Thor looks best.

Picked up blue Ghosty today. I think the disparity in prices between the big three is a little odd. They're $14.99 at Target, $15.44 at Walmart, and $17.99 at TRU. Wonder why...

I stopped by TRU yesterday and they had a Daken and a Drax on the pegs. I'm still waiting for my order from TRU's website, and I just couldn't pull the trigger on Drax for $17.99. I don't know anything about the character. I'm sure once I have the rest of the BAF pieces, I'll have to pick him up.

After work yesterday, I stopped by TRU and they had 6 series 2 figures on the pegs, 4 Bucky Caps, and 2 FF Spidey figures. I thought that was kind of a strange find. Maybe TRU is getting some kind of weird case assortment or something. Anyway, I picked up the Spidey, so I have about half of series 2 now. Still haven't seen a blue Ghost Rider.

Funny you should say that, because it actually worked out that way for me this afternoon! ;D
I went in and found that they had just stocked a case. I grabbed Fantomex and Thunderball because those were two of the three figs from this wave I wanted and saw the "Buy One Get One Half Price on all Marvel figures" sign.
So, I said hell, even though three of the figures will still be $17.99, getting all six would still wind up being cheaper than if I had found them at Target for three bucks less.
So I went ahead and grabbed Madame Masque, unmasked Daken, Drax, and Cap...but then noticed that the paint was shitty on both Caps. One had blue all over his face and the other had a smeared abdomen...so I put them both back and got Future Foundation Spidey instead.
Hopefully Walmart or Target will get wave 2 in soon so I can grab Cap and Piledriver and finish this set off.

Haven't read anything in a long time with Drax in it. I've always wanted a good figure of him from the Infinity Gauntlet series. No interest in the current look.

Not buy it and whine like a little baby for a retro version. That's what I'll do. They need to team that version up with Vision. ;D

I picked up Thor at Target last night. I wasn't planning on getting any of these other than Bucky Cap, but in person the Thor figure is just incredible. He's got some serious bulk to him, and the facial sculpt is really impressive. He looks exactly like when Olivier Coipel was drawing the comic.
The quality of the Legends line has taken a serious step up in quality from the older Hasbro waves. I hope they can keep it up.*

^ Nice!
Walmart is getting wave 2 in now as well. I found 2 Bucky Caps, a Drax, and a Thunderball this morning when I went out for groceries.
Picked up Cap so my Zola is complete, but I'm still looking for a Piledriver to finish my wants.

I stopped by Target and saw a Bucky Cap, Klaw, and Drax on the pegs. I was going to pick up the Drax, until I noticed The package was ripped open and the Zola piece was missing.
