I think Blackheart is pretty great. Both as a Ghost Rider villain and as an overall powerhouse Marvel villain. Plus he’s necessary if you are getting the Marvel vs Capcom style Gamerverse figures.

I was active on the 4H forum but much less so on Facebook, the interface for which I find harder to use.
Loved at least getting Gorgo v2 and Attila V2, although now they really need upgrades themselves now. They are outdated. The Valiant Knight body has advanced the knight builds so much since...
Love reading all of that background about the Sandtroopers! I always loved how they had extra gear, but I wouldn’t have noticed the armor details if they had not been pointed out.
Anyway, the new Black Series Sandtrooper is very cool. Love the Stormtrooper body that Hasbro has been using. And...
Yay for Hit & Run! He was one of my favorite good guy figures from the original line for some reason. Hit & Run, Snake-Eyes, Shockwave, Marauders BBQ.
And then later Battle Corps Law.

The 2.0 bodies (thin wizards, females, and elves) are harder to pose and keep stable. The wizards are extra fiddly.
By far my preference is for 1.0 style figures using the Valiant Knight body. Sir Gideon Heavensbrand is my favorite. If you want a basic knight, get the new Silver Knight, which...
Agreed. Very frustrating that the golden knight army builder is exclusive to a convention. Really undermines the concept of army builders.

Scaphoid V2 looks cool. But Valgard V2 is awesome. But why make the Valiant Guard knight parts exclusive!? Frustrating. I would love to get those golden knight parts.

Loki and Emma Frost were in the Cabal. Taskmaster joined later when Doom left. But not Tinkerer?
And Madame Masque was Hood’s girlfriend at the time but not in this costume. This costume is from after that when Iron Man had the “Shape Changing Armor” aka Model 51.

I haven’t completed Superion yet, but from the skeleton of the combined version, he felt very stable. I had him in a dynamic wide stance pose for a few weeks without any issues with balance.

Totally agree. The Extremis Armor is peak Iron Man. Very physically powerful, fast, and innovative with how it gave Tony expanded consciousness and integration with digital tech. And the design is both imposing and sleek like a sports car.

Yeah the all-energy Living Laser and Detroit Steel are from that comic run. And Bleeding Edge Iron Man, which could use an update as well.
I still want a figure of Ezekiel Stane.
Technically, Hasbro could repaint Detroit Steel into red and black to make Mandarin’s daughter, Sasha Hammer. And...
Yeah I’m not replacing my old ones. There’s plenty of room for all the Extremis Iron Man figures. Need him for New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, Director of SHIELD, Armory, Illuminati, etc.
And this one is obligatory:

Aww, but I love Iron Patriot as a concept. Love to hate it. So evil and relevant right now.
Those are comic Ultron hands.
And here are some Mandarin head swaps. Not exact skin tone matches. Depends on your lighting. I’m liking the Wong body though. I’d like to find a shirtless body as well...
Great timing, Norm! I just got the set!
The updated Extremis Iron Man is a significant upgrade! He really is like a Maximum Iron Man. The entire upper and lower torsos are new as is the neck. The new range of motion is excellent. His butterfly shoulder joints are nice. Finally Iron Man can get...
Yeah I bought so many of the previous Extremis Iron Man. I’m going for three of this new one for now. I’m sure Mandarin heads, the hands with the rings, and suit bodies will all be useful to have.
