Personally, I just don't care for how his face looks. It just doesn't seem right.

As for the rest of the figure, I think how his arms are posed really limit him. Like, what is his left arm supposed to be doing? Groping someone?

Now that I have to completely agree with. I've always felt like Iron Fist suffered from that same "Now what the Hell is that hand supposed to be doing?" syndrome. I think Mr. Sinister sort of has that too, but to a slightly lesser degree.

Marvel Super Hero Squad Wave 18 - Scarlet Witch & Spider-Man

Spider-Man isn't bad, but the fact that the shield is attached to his arm annoys me. On the other hand, Scarlet Witch is quite possibly the best female figure we've gotten so far!

And for those of us who own the Winter Soldier Saga, Crossbones is probably the worst victim of this syndrome.

Have to agree Scarlet Witch is a cracker but for me the best female figure has got to be Rogue.

@rrnt I still haven't decided if I should open Winter Soldier Saga or not.....i was about to go get the box to check out Crossbones before i stopped myself. I don't keep stuff boxed as a rule and don't have loose figures of this set. Something stopped me opening it when it arrived and im undecided on it right now. Space for displaying boxed/carded collections must be a consideration. All the 4 packs that i do have are inside another big box in a wardrobe. Where's the fun in that

[really_rather_not_nice]

It all just depends on why you collect, and what you get out of what you do. Everything I collect I take out and put on the display shelf. A lot of folks collect specifically for the packaging, some just for the figures. I know some folks would look at me corss-eyed for opening my over-seas four-packs, but I'm glad I did. I like the figures, I like posing them on the shelf, I like seeing them mixed in with the other figures.

Its a difficult one for me. We always opened the figures so my boy could play with them and I was fine with that. Lately though I find I'm being overprotective of them and instead of me just keeping the rare/valuable ones away from him i have now got the whole lot in my room - where i can see them I have tried to get him to play with his RH or GH instead, even threw in the Joes and duplicate SHS.

I think I may be losing the plot here.

They are toys and I should open them at least to display. Also my boy is desperate for a Falcon to play with so i guess im going to open it.

TheTooN - toys are MEANT to be played with. They're not collectibles, they're toys!

This is the only set I need from Wave 3 - I'm determined to find it eventually.  There's one on ebay for $15, but with shipping it's $25.  I just don't think I want to pay that much...

[TheTooN]

Is wave 3 still in stores or am i stuck with Ebay ??

[jestergoblin]

Wave 3 was never released in the United States. As for it being available in Canada, I do not know.

Decent pack that I could see being really popular. After all, who doesn't want a Joker?

I like the Top a lot more than I thought I would, plus the Batman repaint isn't that bad.

Iron Man 2 Super Hero Squad - Armor Wars I 3-pack
Contains: Iron Monger, Iron Man & War Machine

Full review: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Iron Man is a worthless repaint of a figure we've gotten twice in the last 6 months.

War Machine is excellent, possibly one of the best figures ever released.

Iron Monger is essentially unarticulated since all of his articulation is limited. I also dislike the face they gave him.

[really_rather_not_nice]

This is probably the Iron Man pack that I'm most looking forward to getting. I really like the look of both Iron Monger and War Machine, and that Iron Man will be taking the place of the one with the same sculpt that was released way back in the last Iron Man 4-packs on my shelf, so it's all good to me.
