I'm a little worried about the Fin Fang Foom wave: if there's a glut of movie stuff, I'm afraid it could end up underordered. Also, the second four don't seem to be set yet, and I'm really hoping for Valkyrie. I'm not positive I'll even buy all the Fin wave, but I am tempted.

Tom-Tom: You're right, it is…I admit I'm not too familiar with the character, and one of the first reports I read erroneously referred to the figure as a Hand ninja. For some reason my mind just won't let go of that…

On another unrelated note, did you know that the name of the dude in the original Operation board game is "Cavity Sam"? Yecch.

That Lego Iron Man is awesome!

On an unrelated note, anyone else find it funny that everyone writing for this site has a name or nickname that starts with a "P"?

Yeah, they're supposed to be about on par with FO Hulk. That's one of the FO packs I never got, so I don't really have a point of comparison.

I'm curious about the lineup for Wave 2…back when the things were first rumored, there were six figures in each wave, which means we're losing at least four out of the remaining eight (for now, I doubt Hasbro will scrap the characters entirely).

I hope that Hulkbuster comes individually packed, and not as a pack-in with a Hulk figure or something…given the 9.99 price point of the movie figs, plus Hasbro's love for the army builders so far, I'm betting he will be.

As to Iron Man, I suppose I can't really complain about the flood of Iron Man figs, when I keep buying them all…the character doesn't have more than a passing interest to me, but the armor is just always so cool looking!

On a related note, this is awesome.

How big will the Hulk Legends figures be? 6" scale, but the size of, say, FO Hulk?

In my opinion, there has yet to be an equal to Face-Off Hulk. There probably never will be (though I do wish he had fists).

I'm planning on getting Iron Monger from the movie Iron Man line, the basic Hulk from the movie Hulk line, and Wendigo from Hulk Legends. Depending on the size and articulation (the Hydra Soldier was a disappointment), I may get the Hulkbuster army dude, too.

I will have the entire set of IM movie toys.

I cherry-picked out of the Ghost Rider line (Blackheart, GR w/Flame Cycle, Caretaker, and Nick Cage-to-GR), but this entire line interests me for some reason. I can't wait for it!

And there's a lot of fanboy whining over the price point of Hulk Legends, but I see it as a very necessary shift given the size of the figures and the (STILL) rising prices of oil.

Those Mighty Mugs are just too super cute! I was checking out those TF: Crossovers again, and the Hulk may have won me over. It depends on how sore my wallet is feeling after the Animated comes out. Also, I think I've got to pick up an Ironman figure for good measure.
