Of the five posted above, the only one I won't get is Havok. That's a terrible costume. Hated it in the comics and I hate it now. I do, however, like The Falcon. Although his costume isn't the best one he's sported, it's an iconic pose for me. It could have been closer to the Superman pose from Eaglemoss, which would have also been iconic, but I thought of him holding his falcon the instant I thought of him as a figurine. I like it.

Why isn't Quicksilver running?

That's been discussed earlier in this thread. I think that would have been a good pose for him, but I also think the one we got is representative of his character. The way he's posing really gets across his pomposity and superiority, character traits I think wouldn't be evident if he was in a running pose. I like it.

Wow. That Havok is a major disappointment. Do you suppose the headdress
made the original costume unfeasible?
I would have much preferred the Falcon's classic costume, but like
Nightcrawler and Cyclops, this one gets a "close enough" from me. At least
they didn't go with the armored version!

I don't think so. The Loki figurine has horns and a cape element that look far more difficult to pull off than what they'd need to do for the original, classic Havok costume. I think this figurine went the way of the one they did for Beast in that Marvel, who has final say, wanted the one above as representative of Havok. Too bad, right?

I plan on making the headdress out of paper (I already tried a test run, and it works quite well) which will make the Havok conversion pretty much a look-but-don't-touch, but at least the vanes of the headdress will be to scale, thickness-wise!

Dammitalltoperditionanyway!!!
I just took a look at the next 5 in the "coming soon" list, and got very
excited to see "Sentry". So of course, I'm looking forward to getting this:
Then cold hard reality slaps me across the face like a wet flounder, and I
remember that this is another I'll be skipping.

I'd love a Kree Sentry too... I'm enjoying the current Annihilation Conquest & that would put me one figurine closer to completing Heavy Metal ^^ ... Super-Adaptoid is a must-have for me :) I'd love a classic Tales of Suspense 84 version.
