Just not sure where I'm putting them, I have no room for another team.
To me they just go on the Avengers villains and opponents shelf.

I hate to maybe go all Ch'od fingers on this ... but shouldn't this Hyperion really have just the one medallion / cape fastener?

Worth noting that the box art uses the Ed McGuiness art of the most recent incarnation of the team. That may be the one Hasbro plans on filling out since it’s got a much smaller and more manageable roster of 5.

Glad to see Fwoosh isn’t all doom, gloom, and negativity like Instagram and Facebook are.

I like these reveals. The kind of classic characters I’m into. I’d definitely buy more of the Squadron if they make them. At least the five shown above would cool, but Amphibian, Golden Archer, any others that closely resemble their DC counterparts wild all be welcome by me.

In the vast majority of the negative comments I have not seen one person who actually prefaced their criticisms with any care or acknowledgement of who the characters are. They were just lined up and ready for a reveal. I saw one person on 5 separate reposts typing new paragraphs each time just giving out stink. Perpetually and clinically unhappy.

Close enough to be classic as well. Though I'd prefer a NightHawk more in this range.

Does the center of Doc Spectrum’s chest usually have a raised design like a gem there, or is it flat? I might try to find a small little jewelry piece to fit there as a nice detail.

Love the prism he comes with!

I just read SS for the 1st time. Great maxi-series. What's with Doc's pinned legs and Hype's pinned arms. These look like kitbash.

It’s an okay set. They look like the characters. Hyperion is on a better sized body and looks to articulate well. The cape is way better than previous “Hyperion” buck. Dr. Spectrum is interesting. He’s basically a repainted Eel and Blizzard, Probably a new head. They look good enough. Tge prism is cool. Sone effects and hands. I’m going to wait for sale. They feel like a $35 set.

Thwipp!

The ones listed, yes, but like Liefeld is missing Feral, Black Ops is missing Wolfsbane, Elixr, Vanisher, and some others.

This one is totally out of the blue. I never expected to see a redo of the red/yellow Hyperion. I'd guess the black/yellow costume is finally coming, too.

Did they just repainted Blizzard again? :lol: Couldn't they have at least used a newer body for him? Retro Spider-Man, at least. No? Ок...

Hyperion looks really good, but I have no attachment to this team.

I remember these guys fighting the Avengers and also being DC knockoffs, but no way am I purchasing a Bucky Cap body in 2023. Just not gonna do it.

The pins only bother me when a leg or arm should have different colors on the inside/outside like Spider-Man. Lighter colored limbs do look better pinless, though.
