What specific eras were Justice and Namorita from?

I’m willing to be corrected here, but to my memory that Nita is from the start of Civil War, and that Vance is from the Initiative era. I remember him wearing that costume while he was an instructor at Camp Hammond.

Namorita is circa 2005-2007.  The only real significance is that this was her look in the opening of Civil War when the New Warriors tried to arrest Nitro on their reality show.

Justice is circa 2014-2015 and possibly beyond.

A week later I still have this whole wave on display, and I even pulled out the rest of the Squadron and all the New Warriors we've got so far (can't remember the last time a wave convinced to track down entire teams). Okay almost none of the New Warriors are the versions I want on display, but I just love the whole team so I'm psyched to finally have this many. The shelf looks like the New Warriors five year class reunion. "Hey man, nice suit, how's the Avengers treating you? Yeah, there was that whole Annihilation thing, that was pretty bad... Oh hey Angelica! How's Krakoa this time of year?"

Namorita is from the Skottie Young reality show mini series, Vol. 3 right before Civil War. Justice is an Avengers Initiative eraish that he wore through New Warriors vol. 5 and still does in his rare appearances.

Thanks, everyone!

 

Really unfortunate that they’re so modern they don’t fit at all with the early ‘90s New Warriors. I was hoping they were at least from toward the end of the original series even if the characters only wore them a few issues.

Very annoying. I’m assuming we’re getting some sort of New Warriors multi-pack with the versions everyone wants and some repaints of like Speedball and Nightthrasher.

Who's everyone? Namorita and Justice being these versions are the only reason I bought them.

If they do some sort of early/original New Warriors multipack, I want Speedball on the Amazing Fantasy body and they've got to include some expressive hands this time. 

Hoping there is another Firestar on the way soon too - either her jacketed 90s/Maximum Carnage look, or even better the one she wore shortly after joining the Avengers.

I wish these modern versions meant we'd also see some other obscure Civil War/Initiative era characters. The one-a-day thread featured a lot of them recently - I'd love to at least get Gauntlet and a few others.

I mean, I can't speak for everyone, but I would guess most people want the characters in costumes that at least vaguely fit with all of the other New Warriors released in the last three or so years.

I've never read any New Warriors issues, but I did read Civil War and the Initiative, so I'm happy to have these versions of Namorita and Justice. But I'd also happily buy them again to go with the New Warriors.

I'm a fan of the New Warriors, but probably a bigger fan of consistent displays.  Having 2 of the original 6 in different costumes bugs me.

While this is one of the last versions of Namorita that I would have personally chosen at the outset, I can’t argue with the result.   It’s a very striking figure.

It’s also a figure where I want to go to Hasbro and say “Here’s another five dollars.  Fix the @!*# paint and hands!”   😛

She's a great figure design and sculpt-wise, but yeah...pink skin, blonde hair, and a green swimsuit and she'd be perfect. But honestly, if the revenue from this figure helps cost out sculpting a scale-suit body for her (and Marrina) later on, I'm okay with it.

As much as I want to fill in that NW display, I wouldn't display this Justice or Namorita with the '90s team. I'd fill them into my '00s display.

Namor:  Namor is a character who I kind of love to hate. He always pops up as a powerful adversary for Iron Man or the Avengers. I am not familiar with this specific look for Namor, but the whited-out eyes and spikey gauntlets and greaves give him a more sinister look, which I like. So I really like this figure in person.  I’d also love to get a modern Namor with the black shell-like armor on his arms from his Defenders of the Deep team. 
 
Vision:  I love Vision as a character. His power set is so versatile. I was fairly happy with the vintage card version of Vision, but I wanted Vision on a larger body. This new Vision is just the kind of upgrade I wanted with excellent height, proportions, and articulation. Love the head sculpt and paint work on the face! 
 
Justice:  I first started reading the Avengers when Justice and Firestar were on the team, so I have wanted a figure of Justice for a long time. His Initiative costume is close to my mind’s eye image of Justice. And I liked Justice even more as a character when he was a teacher at the Initiative, so I am happy to have this look for him. He’s got an excellent head sculpt and a cool cape. The base body is fine. He could use some energy effects—I feel like his hands often had a purple or blue energy glow when he used telekinetic shields and attacks.  I want a new Firestar in her Avengers costume and in her New Warriors costume. 
 
Namorita:  This is actually my favorite costume for Namorita. Her pale blue skin and red costume are striking. Her figure came out really nicely with a beautiful head sculpt. Very nice poseability. I like her hair sculpt a lot. 
 
Black Panther:  The Vulcan base body continues to be an excellent choice for Black Panther. The golden necklace and arm details give this version a nice regal appearance. 
 
Void BAF:  I only have some of the pieces so far, but I love what I have. This is my favorite look for Void, based on its appearance in Siege. I’m a big fan of the Sentry and his Void persona. I love super-heavy weight powerful characters like this. Dark Reign and Siege were the culmination of years of storytelling, and Void was a significant part of the climax. So it’s really cool to finally have a figure of him. The figure itself looks awesome with that dark translucent red plastic and creepy sculpting. The movie Venom base body is a an excellent choice based on its size, inhuman proportions, and outstanding poseability. Can’t wait to compete the full BAF! I still need Power Princess and Crystar.

Are these going to be hitting retail stores? I'm just curious cause some of the waves were supposedly skipped or something.
