I like Falcon a lot.  I've never paid much attention to the lines of his costume, so I'll happily get this one.  Havok is a big disappointment.  So much superfluous crap!

I don't like the Falcon pose, I would have liked a "take off" pose, with opened arms and wings ... but I will get it of course. Havok, I don't know ...

Havok looks like a video game character ! If I find a well painted one and if I still have some room left with the DC collection, I will get it.

Natasha is fine, but I don't like the gun : EM mixed the "classic" look with the Ultimate attitude !

I'll probably just do a minor mod/repaint on a Silver Surfer or maybe Iceman, and try and muddle through the mask. 

Bring on Guardian (after fixing the paint job!)!

Also posted by Steve Reaper:

Next 5 to be:
Ms Marvel
Sentry
Crystal
Wonder Man
Mr Sinister

A BIG pass on Sentry and Mr. Sinister.  The other three are bound to be in my collection.  And no Guardian, dang it!

Is that Havok or somebody from TRON? And what's up with the crap on his
gloves and boots? Does he fuel up off of copious amounts of granola now
and have to carry it around in tiny pouches with him?

Can't wait to see how your mod/repaint works out, Ryan!

Sufficient disappointment with Havok to push me finally into full blown
customization mode. Just ordered up three Iceman figures from Midtown.
One will definitely become Havok. Others -- we shall see!

Now -- somebody tell me what brand of paints I need!!

Cool, looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

The popular paints for miniatures out there are from Games Workshop.  A lot of hobby and some comic stores will carry them.  I have yet to see them in an arts/crafts store like Michaels, but you can buy them online.  I think they are too expensive.

I've stopped dropping $3 on less than half an ounce of paint and starting picking up equivalent acrylics at Michaels or similar stores in the area for about $1 to $1.50 each (two ounces a bottle).

Americana brand and Delta are the two I've been buying the most of and have been very happy with the quality and selection of colors/shades.

Any chance the Havok figure is an April Fool prank?
