Picked up the Knull/Venom 2 pack on sale, and that open mouthed alternate head, might be the best Venom head of all. Swapped onto the 3 pack Venom from Amazon, I think I've finally got my perfect Venom.

Snagged a black and gold Iron Man from the Mindless One wave, mainly for the BAF piece, but an added surprise was that the open hands fit the deluxe War Machine from a few years back, and the red repulsors look really nice. It feels so much more complete now, and it was already one of my absolute favorite Legends.

Got my Final Swing Spidey in from Amazon. Looks really good, but like the other No Way Home Spideys it just seems to fall a little short of greatness, needs a little better leg, and torso articulation.

Not this garbage again...Been there, done that, several times, goodbye, there goes another one from the pull list.

Clea came in from Amazon, she's so great, just wish she had some better effects. Mindless one is looking so good, it'll be hard to wait for the rest of the figures to drop enough to scoop up those BAF pieces.

Blade came in from Amazon, definitely a great upgrade on the previous one.

MCU Kingpin came in, looks good, just not completely sold on it, there doesn't seem to be any sort of ab crunch under the coat, or diaphram joint, which is a bit disappointing. Also he's a bit small in stature in hand. Been rewatching Daredevil, so maybe that's throwing me off.

60th Anniversary Bucky Cap came in yesterday 60th Anniversary Black Widow (finally) came in today. The two are excellent additions to the collection, and Bucky really shines in the paint department. Widow's articulation makes her an excellent upgrade, even if she doesn't quite capture that classic stature.

Drax and Moondragon 2 pack came in yesterday. This might be my favorite release this year since Blob. While not in the DnA uniform, I'm good with this version of Moondragon, and since this costume (or something close) does show up in that particular Guardians run I do feel like this is a big step towards that team's completion. Other than the choice of costume, my only nitpick would be the addition of a telepathy effect. I have almost no connection to this version of Drax outside of reading Infinity Gauntlet, and the brief callback to this look in Thanos Imperative, regardless, this figure is very impressive, the colors pop, the head sculpts are very expressive. This is probably the first two pack to really feel like bang for your buck in a while.

Not sure about putting 2 packs together, I've got pretty much all of the civilians I want from this line once the Peter/Smyth pack is available. As for single figures, I'd really like to see Vulture (young version), Man-Spider, and I think this would be a good place to slot a Spot figure in, close enough to the comics version for my taste.

Got my Hawkeye over the weekend, after swapping out the bow, quiver, and arrows for the series 7 ToyBiz one's, this is probably my ideal Hawkeye.

That's a good point for Cyrstar leading to Martinex. I'm definitely interested in seeing Crystar up close, I could probably be tempted to pick him up.

Overall they had some interesting stuff, but thankfully not too many that really screamed "gotta have it". Blade and Clea were obvious pre-orders. MCU Fisk, Vision, and Justice are about the only other ones that I'd say I'm in for, maybe Detroit Steel depending on when it drops and the price. Would love to get a couple Mindless Ones, but that wave just doesn't justify even one of them, let alone a double dip. Crystar was a really interesting reveal, but I want to see that one up close first, I have zero connection and that was even my first time hearing about him, but a really cool looking figure for sure.

Amazon haul of Captain Rogers, Rose, and Chasm, with Tarantula to arrive today and Hawkeye by the end of the week. Feels crazy after such a long break with just a few pick ups in between. For anyone that picked up Chasm, any good ideas for energy effects? Currently using some from Lightning Collection but was hoping there were some better options out there.

That's so awesome! Not necessarily in to the set, but a little nod like that is excellent.
