I ordered the first wave of 4 from Super7. CC is the best one IMO.

Can't wait to see who will be in wave 2. I'm hoping for Raven, Shooter, Lady J, Scarlett, ...

Beside the Baroness, I always thought female characters were not well made by Hasbro.

You might get one of those choices in the next wave, but after they had to cancel the all female Ultimates wave earlier this year it is not likely we'll see an all female wave again.   Also it seems that they are confined to the cartoon and comics so if they ever did a Shooter it would probably be the male version.

I'm not sure what the next wave will be, but I'm sure we'll see a cartoon accurate BAT sooner rather than later.

Also how are the figures themselves in regards to quality and build?   The few reviews I have seen seem to point to a number of small issues.

They look very nice, I preordered all 4 as well. And I will keep my eye peeled for preordering the twins. I expect bbts to have them listed oct 1st or so. They have revealed what looks like the outline of the twins in suits.

YO JOE!

I preordered the twins. They look... different than the vintage ones, I hope my opinion will change in hand.

They look great, but I'm none too pleased about the BBTS exclusivity.   I'll wait and see if they go on sale down the road.  If not I'll be ok with missing out on them.

I got wave 1 this morning... it's very sweet, much better in hand than in picture imo. I will be broke if they release as much as the non oring reaction figures.

Edit: I was pondering about opening, not opening... I did opened them and wow, great articulation, great feel, not rubbery but not as hard plastic as the originals. The BAT is the gem in the lot. Lots of accessories, great scult and well... it's the BAT!

Well I was at TRU yesterday and at clearance they had 1st wave of sailors. $5 each.
Finally broke down and bought 3. $16 was nice.

What was the discount up to now?  30%?  40%?
