I think I will be picking them up.
What's up with the "platinum" in the names? Is that like the "ultimates" for Joes?

Yeah, that's a nice figure. Hulk, Grim Reaper, and Hyperion do nothing for me. And I have enough Cap and IM figures for ten lifetimes. Those Cap/IM figures don't even look like new sculpts, just repack/repaints. Wasp is clearly the jewel in an otherwise very weak wave.
Any MU type of line doesn't need one single Cap, Thor, Spiderman, Iron Man etc...there's enough still hanging on pegs from all the movie lines...
Hasbro is fully capable of pleasant female headsculpts. Until it's time to put them on a Joe figure.
Liking that Wasp sculpt. Who the hell is gonna carry the line, though?
My Walmart still carries MU stuff. So hopefully I'll see these.
My Target does as well. Last I knew they had a couple of Chucks still on the pegs. A lot of peg warmers still though.
TRUs around here do as well...but the closest one to me is an hour away.

Eh. Mine must be an anomaly. Whenever I go there (granted it's once a month if that) they have new stock that wasn't there the previous time.
My WMs completely stopped carrying MU. Target is my only option, and they put out two cases a year. I'll end up having to buy these online, either Amazon or ebay.
My TRUs carry MU, but it takes an additional year or two before they a catch up with the current wave...
the "re-branding" is Hasbro's attempt to get these back into stores again
it sure doesn't help when they keep adding repeat figures like Iron Man & Cap
I want Grim Reaper & Wasp for sure and maybe Hyperion

Consider me the devil or something, but I've basically given up on 1:18 scaled super heroes. I'm opening myself to the large world of Marvel Legends.
I did that about 6-7 years ago, and I went back to the beginning (i.e. Toybiz wave 1). Of course, this was while TB was still clinging to the license and well before Hasbro obsoleted most of the early figures. The problem is, I keep them all in the package waiting for my kids to be old enough to care about them.
Therein lies the problem. Still-in-the-package ML, DCUC, MOTUC.... they all take up a crapload of space. I mean a ton. And they multiply like bunnies. So my advice is to have a collecting plan, be an opener, or limit yourself to just Avengers or just X-Men, or just Spidey family characters.... lest they take over and run you out of your house. If I wasn't in the self storage business, I would have given up on 6" figures several years ago. It's funny how much more space they require than MOC 4" figures...
Mine too, They get maybe one wave per year, two if I am lucky. Only store to carry MU in my are is TRU. My Targets and Walmarts only collect Iron Man toys. They never sell them so I figure they are into collecting too. It's the main reason I don't collect MU, I have never seen 95% of them.

Wasp's still the only redeeming figure in the wave, but the packaging is ok. I don't like it as much as the MU packaging, but it's far better than what I imagined when they said that all MU figures would be in an "Avengers" line going forward. This is still pretty generic marvel, which I like b/c I would be irked by getting X-Men in Avengers-themed blisters. The cardbacks are clearly in the same vein as the 4" SW black series.
The packaging is in the garbage 2 minutes after I receive the figure so the packaging doesn't mean anything to me. There's only one upcoming figure I care about which kind of sucks. But at least it's a good one. Wasp has a useful head sculpt. I have need of more solid black arms. And the body is a good base for sculpting.
Hadn't thought of that, but it's got potential. Might as well, seeing as I'm not doing any actual customs.
This right'ch hur.
Oh my god I'm craving some MU right now! My paycheck is being held until friday (payday) instead of the usual early paycheck (today) and it's fucking killing me!
What?! Of all places... really?
Luckily I'm getting my paycheck tomorrow
Also--just in time with the money rolling in--I've made an awesome connection with a notorious store that has recently acquired a plethora of MU figures [loose & carded]. I showed them my list of needed characters and they were blown away. They said since I'd be buying in bulk they'll give me a good price...
...I'll find out tomorrow!
All I'm hoping for now is no hold funds. Bastards...
