Captain America as a Hummer.

I can't help but think that was influenced by someone in someway.

Love the robot modes, but most of those new vehicle modes give an all new meaning to the word FUGLY...

If (God forbid) there was ever a TF Crossovers line for G.I. Joe, a retool of Thor (replacing his head with the Starscream/non-conehead seeker head) would work for the Cobra Rattler alt-mode IMO. Only downside is that the engines on this figure are in the normal place for an A-10 Thunderbolt II, not on the wings as they'd be for the Rattler.

Question: why are we getting another Spider-Man figure? Or is the original just used by mistake? Wondering because I thought there was gonna be a "black costume" repaint of Spider-Man...

Given Cap's origin, a Hummer actually makes sense. It would have just made more sense if his alt-mode was a WWII-era military vehicle, not the Hummer.

I saw that too with the Spiderman. I am not sure if they are issuing the normal or black one at this point. The black version was supposed to be due out in Wave 3.

?

It would be nice (and narcissistic) to think that my artwork is secretly being turned into actual toys, but that's actually fairly dissimilar.

Carnage. Yeah. That sure is some Carnage in my eyeballz.

They need to change out the Thor head, and FINALLY give Powerglide a decent mold without those stupid arms under the wings.

They even have those arm things on the Classics 2.0 version.

Hasbro - an A-10 does NOT land in the water !!!

Well it's sort of a good idea to have the marvel characters turn into vehicles but the colours on the vehicles are way too off.... (Thor seems like it was a mix and match of parts from other toys).

Thor looks like a cheap knock-off. None of this line have got my approval yet.

It's easy Hasbro. Get a D.C. licence, get Batman, turn him into the Batmobile. Done.

I think that the color makes the figure look bad..Hey it based on a guy wearing spandex.What's more could you ask.....

Seconded...

I understand that heroes outfits are often garish, but my goodness...

Thor's yellow boots/jet engines may be the worst thing since...well, since the '08 Detroit Lions...

Maybe they will look better later...could EE have gotten ahold of prototype pictures? The new molds sure don't look very detailed compared to the figs that have already come out...

Thor and America look pretty rocking but ohh dear god are those colors hideous. Someone3 already said it but thor looks like an unpainted parts bash.

I think black-suit Spidey might be out too...but then why the new release of the normal figure? Or is this supposed to be Ben Riley as Spider-Man? Assuming so, why not do him as scarlet spider? Or maybe at least forget about the clone and maybe do an "Iron Spider-Man" deco?

Sometimes they just release popular figures in multiple waves...

Anyway, I'd hope we'll get an Ultimates repaint of Thor (black, silver, and dark blue), but we'll probably get Beta Ray Bill.

The vehicle modes would look aces if not compromised for the robot-mode colourscheme.

I don't think Cap is a Wolverine repaint...it's a new mold. The shoulders are completely different, among other things...., :-?

No sorry, Captain America is not a repainted Wolverine. Its a different mold altogether.

Thor looks cool, yeah the plane mold looks weird in such bright colors, but that was expected.

I like all 3. Specially Cap with his tire shield looks very cool.

That could be. Hadn't thought a that.

Black suit Spider-Man is out, I got one on Thursday. I also saw Wolverine, Human Torch, and gray Hulk. So I'm guessing that's wave 2

heheheh.

Black figure into red repaint. How ironic!

Beta Ray Bill, eh? Kinda interesting idea, with that head of his. Shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth though. Sorry. I know it's a bad pun. It's just...Beta Ray Bill's head...it was kinda there.
