I'd prefer a more classic color scheme for Blur (Whizzer). Yellow/blue over yellow/black, but this ain't bad. I already have the Nighthawk I want, but this one looks pretty good.

More Squadron Supreme? Awesome!

No one is going to buy these two and not buy Hyperion and Doctor Spectrum, and consequently Power Princess. They should've made it a 5 figure box set, especially since they are basic figures with decals and a snap-on cape.
I already have Hype and the Nighthawk I want, so would just have preferred single card figures. Admittedly, I'm disappointed that they are using the contemporary designs over classic. Fortunately, Doc Spectrum's contemporary looks is classic. I don't mind PP's contemporary looks as she's changed costumes almost as much as the Wasp. But I would love to see more of the classic Squadron to include Golden Archer and Lady Lark. Avengers #141 is one of my favorite Marvel covers.
Yeah, I would have preferred the classic Squadron Sinister/Supreme look too, but it's really not even the same character. This is as close as we're ever going to get I think. Whizzer has had many different looks, and this one is probably closest to the original. I kind of really liked the Perez black and yellow from the nineties Avengers comic too. I would also gave preferred the original Nighthawk costume, or the modified one that he wore in the Mark Gruenwald miniseries, but this one isn't bad.

I need that Mach 1 Ironman. That suit is one of my favorites!

Yes, we got the character from Defenders in an Avengers series of Legends from a few years ago. I also would have preferred the light blue/black outfit, but again, this isn't the classic Squadron. The newest version was created by Mephisto with guidance from Coulson. It didn't include all of the members that the classic version had. Oh, Tom Thumb would have been nice as well!
I'm happy to see another Tigra, but not sure about this WCA boxed set. Also -- she looks like she's missing most of her hair! And the costume doesn't look quite right -- the belt always wrapped around her entire waist.
One of my favorite series of all time. I'm definitely buying the hell out of this!
My wishlist is slowly whittling down. Now, if they can just give me Jack of Hearts, Spitfire, the Great Lake Avengers, Firebird (or the entire Rangers lineup), American Eagle, Stingray, the original Agents of Atlas, Son of Satan, Jolt, Slapstick, 3D Man, and Le Peregrine, I'll be happy.
