Smyths has evil lyn 200x, fisto, faker, merman lop
Comics spoiler
Fakers an army builderComic didn't do quite as well featuring the waves range, with merman and evil lyn being just there rather than involved in the story.
Doesn't seem like the knees have been made to look better unless covering them up with a sticker on the packaging counts as a fix

mini reviews:
Faker
They seem to have given up on the first young he-man head, now giving him the old throw back head whihc is on the newer release he-man figure (alternative head for battle armor he-man). Not a bad thing but it will be a bit hard for him to prretend he is he-man with a different face (I know, he's bright blue so what does it really matter).
Its going to be cheaper that getting this one over the powercon version with duplicat. It would have been greta if they gave him color change like in one of the images of the comic showing him half flesh/half blue. nice to have him though I much prefer s7 robot he-man as my faker just because that's how he appeared in the toon.
Fisto
The packaing has the yellow blurb that says includes comic but caftily avoids the blurb that says retro play because much like unflocked Panthor, there is no retro play with this figure. No waist punch and no arm punch making the orig 80's figure the winner (if articulation isn't counted). Once again a bit annoying how they havent made a small clip on the back of the armor to hold the sword. My fistos head is a bit loose as in that it will just lull to one side rather than holding a pose sometimes.
Evil
I have the 200X version, this is just a lazy repaint and not so sure it sells the awesomeness of 200X with a lesser sculpted figure. the plale white skin is kinda unnaturally white plastic that does look really good. I now have way more pale evil lyns than yellow so I might cave and pick up the yellow version for nostalgia. I'm sure they mentioned the knees were going to be improved on during that Pixel Dan thing but noooope.
Packaging art on all the figures is amazing so far, would be nice for another boook in the future that collects the artwork. characters appearing (possible hints at future waves) Stinkor, Jitsu, strydor, evil horse (but looks like it has a helmet this time or which ever one didnt no has), triklops LOP, duplicat and maybe me just being hopefull of the mini comic having snake mountain in it...
