That beast looks awful in the pictures not the half decent beast i thought would round out my astonishing display.

 

[newavengers12]

I am most dissapointed by Black Bolt...This is a highly requested character....He looks like crap.

 

[bryanss3]

hay can you guys tell if for Tigra if they just use the Shana body like for savage she hulk cause it looks like it.

I really thought that they'd make beast look better from the first time I saw these guess not kinda sad.
I just really want Blackbolt and Nova and Nemesis so it looks like I'm getting them all

 

[newavengers12]

I will get them all....Trust me...But I will be sad if they come out like this....

 

[archangelsr_uk]

Its not the point really is it this wave has been on hold for well over a year now you would have thought they would make them look a lot better then this by then.

Those prototype shots we have seen for ages and now these its the like when you see a big mac on the board and mcds and then get something that looks completly diffrent in the box just labeled the same

Beast and Daredevil turned out better than I thought they would. Nova, too.

Still not going to rush out and get these. I'm going to wait a month or two after release to start trying to get what I want online.

 

[bryanss3]

seriously all anyone at hasbro has to do is go on Figure Realm and see the right way to make that beast

 

[Spider-Jay420]

Just because no one has done it yet.

I will finally have my NOVA!!! Yes! That's probably gonna be it for me. The way I purchase my figures; When a new Dardevil comes out, if it's not as good as the one I alread have, I don't buy it. I know, novel idea, right?

My ML4 Punisher is better. My Face-Off Daredevil is better. I like my ML4 Beast is better. I don't even know who Nemesis is. Tigra and BlackBolt look terrible. Those cloth armpit wings are killing me. This will be a low selling wave, I think.

Oh well, good news for Nova fans!

 

[Roughneck]

They're all decent enough for me.......Hate the Hasbro joints......BB has Speedo Namor articulation, which sucks.......Beast needs Biceps and more leg artic......but they look good enough....Holocaust looks frikking great to me.

 

[bryanss3]

wow blackbolt's looking silly

 

[Ncrawler333]

Beast: Sculpt is great. A paint wash would have been nice on the fur, but it doesn't look too bad. Articulation looks to be similar to the Doc Sampson figure, which makes those double jointed knees pretty useless without the thigh swivel cut.

Nova: The gold on the figure seems pretty dull, I would have preferred something brighter. Other than that it looks good.

Daredevil: Looks like the best figure in the wave. Hope the yellow and red versions both ship at the same time so that I can get the red version immediately.

Punisher: Looks like the skin may end up being pale. Looks decent, but I still prefer the Toybiz ML4 version.

Black Bolt: Shares the same body as Adam Warlock, so it's not surprising that its articulation stinks. Other than that it looks good.

Tigra: Should have had double ebows and knees. The sculpt on the figure is great though.

Nemesis/Holocaust: Looks good, like this version better than the all clear version.

Thankfully these were all designed before the other figures released this year, so the drop in quality should only be temporary.

 

[bryanss3]

honestly no one thinks that beast head sucks?

So you've never read Age of Apocalypse then? He's one of the 4 horsemen, and his names actually Holocaust. But you can understand why they wouldn't use that.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

DD looks excellent. Might get Punisher as well...

 

[HCpride]

PM ME IF YOU DONT WANT THE HOLOCAUST PIECE YOU ARE GETTING FROM THE FIGURES YOU BUY!!!

only one i dont need is daredevils!!!

 

[Saint553]

Nova: Figure is done just fine. Would have liked a more recent version. Don't follow the character, so he's just a dude with a cool bucket on his head to me.

Beast: Not bad. Needs some dark blue paint or something to highlight him. Needs better articulation---He's the best, he needs to move like a beast/circus performer.

Daredevil: Not bad. This body usually is very thin and has a long thin neck with a small head, so it usually looks weird. Don't know why they are using his FA version as the regular version. The red is more recognizable by non-fans.

Punisher: Using plastic for his skin rather than paint is really not very good looking. That works for characters who have little skin showing, but not this. The articulation is weak, too. Not a good figure from pictures. Could have used a coat/vest/sheathed knife/anything.

Blackbolt: One of the most wanted figures in the Marvel U and the execution of it is pretty sub-par. I could care less for the character as it is. Got no real perks to say about this.

Tigra: After some real decent looking female figures, this one just sorta sets the standard back. I assume because the figure was designed before elektra and Shanna came out that it uses their old bodies/sculpting...but I could be wrong.

Daredevil and Nova are the only two I'd buy. I unfortunately wouldn't buy the others for the BAF piece alone unless I knew someone who really would buy them off me.

Preview review: 4/10 (personal review)

 

[bryanss3]

so why does everyone get the knee joints except blackbolt?

 

[[A]]

Is this guy, um, a nazi..?

 

[vog]

I can't say I'll be buying any of these. Maybe the red DD if I stumble upon him. I'd also buy Nemesis if he was carded, but there's no way I'm buying all that crap just to assemble him.

I've practically stopped buying Marvel figures since Hasbro took over. Beside really crappy facial sculpts, overall, I can see they cut corners and everything from packaging to the figures looks cheap. Painting or lack of is poorly done and spray masks are loose and over-sprayed all over the place, part-lines showing so obviously means crappy moulding, overall figures looks really awkward and ungraceful at all. No artistry in sculpting. You think taking over from Toy Biz, they would learn something, instead they are little better then Kenner's era. My biggest beef is that Hasbro prices are very high. These figures are more expensive and offers a lot less. No comic book, no cards, not much accessories, flimsy bubble that crushes easily, thin cheaper backing card, just nothing special at all. Too expensive for kiddies, too little value for the fans and collectors.

toybiz was going to do the exact same thing dude
they were going to get rid of the bubble packages,comics,cards,what was the last marvel legend that came with alot of accessories (toybiz era....um,moon knight had a staff and nunchucks, green goblin had his glider,iron fist had flames,bishop had guns,BRB had a hammer,besides that (and i can go back further)we havent ever really got a ton of accessories in ml,warmachine and deadpool are good exceptions)
and really have you looked at hasbros recent waves,the two packs,red hulk wave,ares wave,they are all pretty much on par with toybiz's last 3 waves
this wave is just a crappy one they announced 2 years ago (it was supposed to be hml4) and they kept delaying it

 

[lars573]

toybiz was going to do the exact same thing dude

And in fact did with Legendary heroes.

 

[bryanss3]

legendary heroes got canceled cause no one wants a savage dragon figure

 

[Namor14]

Does anyone else think that Black Bolt should have closed fist?
