Unexpectedly, She-Hulk arrived today, thereby completing this wave for me. She’s a great figure. Really happy with her.

I’m dying to get She-Hulk. No movement on my POs from anywhere.

I'd like to see the rest of the wave in store besides She-Hulk.  Yesterday, a girl at Target pulled Angel from the back, but I like to avoid asking for multiple dpic numbers. When she came back with my figure, she said he was in the stockroom because shelf tags were not set up. I assume that's the same case with this wave at my store

This she hulk was disappointing. How does Hasbro model an entire new body and give it barely any articulation. Boggles the mind...

I bet when we get an angry face she hulk figure, they will change the green tone or the peg size or something dumb as well.

I think her proportions are weird.  Her torso is short.  They should have made the muscle stirations a little less at the top of the thigh at the thigh cut because it looks terrible turned.  Very Strange that With the female Body builder look they keep her Glutes so small when that is usually the largest muscle on Female body builders and powerlifters. She is also probably too big compared to the way she scales with other characters from the comics. The head sculpt is great though.

What do you think needs improvement in the articulation?

The biggest changes I've seen with She-Hulk over the years is that some artists make her look very large and muscular which tends to make her look more masculine, whereas other artists tone her muscles and proportions down to make her look more feminine.  This version is probably Hasbro's most masculine She-Hulk yet in terms of musculature, but the super-long hair and extra-smiley face soften that out.  I'm not a big fan and prefer both the MCU She-Hulk proportions and the one on the last comic She-Hulk they did that came in both a gray and green skin release.

When you say she's too big do you mean width or height?  Height-wise I watched Shartimus's review where he stands her next to the other Hasbro She-Hulks and she's around the same height as all the others.

@darkmoon766 Ignoring the Hair, the neck/head articulation is not good. The torso can barely move front to back. A ball joint at the waist would have great but Hasbro doesn't do that for whatever reason. 

It's getting harder and harder to justify new or redone figures, even with the scale creep.

She seems taller than the Grey version.  She would definitely be taller but for her short torso.  I will have to wait until I have her in hand, but those comparisons like Shartimus I don't think they were both standing straight up and on the same plane for measuring.  She definitely seems bigger compared to other figures than the Grey one.

My brother, who sees most of my figures, pointed She-Hulk out as a good looking figure.  Not that he's arbiter of action figure taste, but he does have good knowledge of comic art.

At the very least they're extremely similar in height.  I can't tell that any of these aren't standing straight up or are on different planes.  He's usually careful about that, and I'm not sure I could pose them any more equally than he has in the pic below.  Certainly the new one is tallest if you include the hair in the height, but her eyes seem almost completely level with the Super Skrull wave mold shown to her right in the pic.

If the pic below is accurate it looks like the A-Force and MCU figures are the shortest by a very slight amount, perhaps by 1/4".

I still have that DA She-Hulk on my shelf! It’s my favorite costume of hers, and I love the Slott series. But man do I not miss those ball joint hips

Why not? He's one of the most highly requested characters, I would pick him in his 90s animated look plus Blizzard in his 90s animated look, Crimson Dynamo in the same armor as the Iron Man 2 figure, and Titanium Man in the same armor as the Marvel Select figure.
