If I hadn’t seen a photo of She Hulk next to the previous ripped clothes She Hulk, I’d be convinced she’s actually too big. But they’re around the same height, if you don’t count her big ‘80s perm.

Getting all kinds of notifications for this wave that they’ll be coming sooner than expected.

Wow, Jen looks BIG. But I just side by sided the last She-Hulk next to Mockingbird, who comes up to her shoulder, so... not too far off? Maybe a big broader and overall but not a massive leap in size difference I reckon. 

Got shipping for Jen arriving tomorrow and Whiplash for Monday. I didn't pre-order the three Tonys because I'd just reorganized my Iron Man collection and had a panic attack about having TOO MANY suits of armor, but man if I start seeing those posted I'm going to cave, I know it.

I don't think of myself as a huge stickler for scale (I displayed the Marvel Select Colossus with my Legends X-Men for many years), but she may be too big for me.

Got Amazon shipping notice for all but Jen. Most will arrive Mon/Tue, but the gold second appearance and NeoClassic will arrive today with KaZar.

Pictured is what I store my figures in. ML wise from the standard 6 inches to 7 inches the drawers can hold anywhere to 100-130 figures. I have 7 of these right now and will be getting around 5 more in the next few months. You can get these at Walmart.

Got notifications from Amazon that every figure in this wave except She-Hulk will now be arriving Monday (along with Ikaris).

I do so love Hasbro's "we're going to spread out the pre-orders but ship everything early all at once and destroy your bank account".

Received NeoClassic and Gold today. I feel really let down by NC. The open hands have no hinges, the red metallic plastic is very swirly in the chest. His limbs are reused from War Machine (pinless arms, 80th IM legs). He comes with new post-repulsor blast smoke effects that are the same translucent blue as the blasts themselves. It’s mostly just an ok figure, which at least improves on the previous version.

Golden Avenger is exactly what you’d expect if you have the gray version. It does have some minor paint apps that make it look like lining in some creases. Very nice looking and feeling figure. Glad it has the skirt.

@normdapito I replaced the old neo-classic in my display with the new one and I kind of feel like the only thing the new one has over the old is size. I really liked that rich metallic red of the old one.

Paint could help. The shoulder pad execution is ok, still not ideal. I think those loose pauldrons should just be incorporated directly into the sculpt and the shoulder socket widened to accommodate the big balls. I’m glad his ankle pivots are effective, as that was one of the bigger grievances with the previous version. Maybe the figure will grow on me. Gonna mess with it a bit more before putting it into the armory display.

Back when 80th Iron Man came out and the repulsor hands didn't rotate it felt like "ok this is the flaw that will get you to by another in a few years". Like Cap's too small shield and Mjolnir's too short handle. Surprised they haven't fixed it by now.

Can you stack those?  If so, any idea how many they recommend max in a stack?

@enigmaticclarity I never tried it but I wouldn't advise stacking them. The top can only hold three hundred pounds.
