Got this set recently and it's one of the better 5 packs in recent years.
Love Tigra's new hairsculpt and hope it gets used in more places.
I’m pretty pleased with most of the figures in this set. Tigra and Spider Woman are worthwhile upgrades. SCIM is fine, lame that they didn’t correct his back, but I like how his colors match the retro card War Machine. I like Mockingbird a lot, despite the narrow sleeves. It’s Pym that actually disappoints me most. I understand the reuse of the jumpsuit body (Red Skull, Dormammu), but the new torso actually gives him some height. He’s taller than previous uses. I hadn’t notice before, but his legs are REALLY long, and his sculpted belt is Steve Urlel high. I like his head sculpt a lot, but almost prefer it for Steve Rogers, and vice versa with the unmasked head from 20th Cap to be used for Pym. I do wish he came with a comic accurate weapon or gizmo. But all in all, really happy this came out early to coincide with the 60th anniversary figures.
Love this set! So cool to get so much of a team put together so quickly. I accidentally left out Julia Carpenter Spider-Woman in this shot.
And unfortunately the Tigra in this set has a defective torso joint that won’t stay connected. I’ve tried some superglue and some blue tack, but she keeps falling apart. Major bummer because my daughters like Tigra a lot. At least we still have the bright orange version.
I'm really happy with this set. Naturally, my wallet wasn't, but I think overall it was worth it.The figure that surprised me most with how much I liked it was the new Spider-Woman. She really is just an overall improvement over the previous release. It actually surprised me.
VERY happy with the Tigra recolor, as well as both the new figures of Pym and Mockingbird. Glad to have them represented on the shelf.
Iron Man is a waste for me. I've got the silver-limbed version already, and quite frankly I like those versions of the figures (gold and silver paint over flat yellow/white) better. But I guess he'll serve as a representative in an Avengers display while the Walgreens version stands in the Armory.
Can someone please post a comparison photo or just confirm whether or not the shoulder pauldrons on Iron Man are bigger/longer than Walgreens version?
Edit: Nevermind, found a review on YouTube that confirms it. Sweet.
Yeah the new Silver Centurion Armor from the set (white and red) does feature lightly broader pauldrons than the prior silver & red armor figure. Pretty cool that Hasbro made that adjustment!
I really bet that that ^ version of Mockingbird and a no-fabric loincloth Skycycle Hawkeye get released together in two years. That looks definitive.

Haha, I'm usually one of those people, but I agree that this looks awesome. Excellent work, @darkxorn
Edited (like 5 times now): Looked at the photos, looked at my Mockingbird. You did a lot more work than I first thought. Great posing and photography, too! I can't manipulate mine to replicate the poses. Did you mod the articulation as well? If not, I need to hire you to come over and pose all my figures. Do you have an IG handle? Would love to give you a follow.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm @darkxorn on Instagram too.
I've started modifying the leg articulation on a number of newer Legends in the past year so they can stand in a more natural way and achieve the one step in front of the other pose, one of my favorites, more easily (as seen below).
The posing in the first image of my initial post is all posing you should be able to get out of the factory standard set up though.

Excellent, thanks - just followed. 🙂
Finally caved and bought this, mostly for Tigra and Spiderwoman who I’d say are the standouts; Mockingbird is serviceable but the head positioning and sleeves are off.
I also finally grabbed this set since it was on sale. I was really hoping that the Hank Pym head would work on the Target Ant Man body but it's too big. I didn't know that the Hank Pym was so much bigger than the Ant Man. I probably should have known considering it's the Red Skull body.

Pretty sure the Pym body is even bigger than the Red Skull body. I haven’t directly compared, but Pym is bigger than Safari Wonder Man. It’s disappointing.
