Damn! Colossus looks even better than I had hoped, and the face on Shadowcat doesn't look nearly as bad as I feared.  Can't wait to have this set in hand, and I hope we still occasionally get AOA characters in the future (not as a complete wave, just the occasional release).

[Lord_Scareglow]

Yeah damn, that Colossus does look really much better then I thought, I am kinda tempted now to build him, intially I was only planning on getting Kitty & Rogue, but I dunno this wave is shaping up pretty good with these in hand images I'm seeing recently.

Hey, I'm really liking the height and mass on colossus. I hope they use this baf buc for a classic looking colossus down the line. He would look so much better next to juggernaut and apocalypse compared to the current one we got in the two pack with juggy.

I’d take outback Colossus on that upper half for sure.

Both figures look good,

Man. Give me a Warbird built just like that Shadowcat and I'd buy at least 2. I looooove the sculpt and proportions on her. Plus, the articulation looks above the norm for female figures.

Good photos. These are the ones I wanted to see -- size comparison and also headswap with classic Colossus.

I knew this Colossus would be bigger so I preordered the wave just to build him even though I wasn't interested in all the other characters. I could not pass up a bigger Colossus! I had also planned to remove his "suspenders" and have him shirtless so this is a good preview showing that that is possible.

I'm also hoping that Hasbro puts the classic look Colossus on this bigger body. I think the headswap looks a bit off in these photos. The 2-pack head sits a bit too high or appears a bit small, so I probably won't be doing that.

Yeah, I thought the original photos of Shadowcat that had some people worried about her face looking bigger on one side was just bad posing because her face was tilted or jutting in that direction. I did not think it would actually be jutting in real life and, as we can see from these photos, the face is symmetrical.

The same user also has a video review of Iceman and Cyclops. I had considered if the new Iceman could stand in as my default, classic Iceman. I do like the blue and the more muscular body they used over the skinny Juggernaut wave Iceman, but I'm not sure if his different look could pass off as a classic Iceman. But maybe.

I'll be using him as my main Iceman

Not me. It's a cool figure to be sure, but when I think Iceman, I think Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, teen college student. That makes the Juggernaut version perfect, but that's just me.

On the same token, I fully intended to use the AoA Kitty Pryde as my goto Kitty . . . until the Excalibur news broke. Now there's no contest.

The retro card Iceman is my favorite. I just wish he came with open hands to simulate him using his icing powers. 

[McHogan]

These pics if Colossus and Kitty look like a WCW Heel and his manager haha..

I honestly thought that Juggs 2 pack Colossus was the definitive version but some want ANOTHER version? Sheesh..

i really like the retro Iceman as well. I wouldn’t mind that sculpt in the blue that this new one has.. too bad he only has the mouthless face.. 

I'm curious if retailers learned their lesson from the first AOA wave and scale back how many sets they order? My local stores still have remnants of that wave hanging on. At full price to boot!!

[WeaponXXX]

These all look so beastly I have to get this entire wave. I mean the X-Men is my favorite comic / cartoon I buy everything X men they all look so good cant wait to see Rouge i have her retro carded figure and juggernaut wave original but these AOA figures just give off a different vibe

[MarvelousFan87]

Glad to see this Colossus is bigger than standard versions of him! He looks incredible. Can't wait for this wave.
