That Saturn Girl is quite nice.  The costume was designed by a fan, and brought to life by the great Dave Cockrum back in the day.  The first of the Legion costume redesigns back around 1972.  It's a nice sculpt as well.  Definitely on my "to get" list.

The others, not so much.

I like the Saturn Girl, but would have preferred the earlier version of the costume, but this is the one I meet her in, so no harm.
The other look like good sculpts, not my favorite characters, but they do look good.

The Saturn Girl costume is the same vintage as the Eaglemoss Lightning Lad
costume, but I'm glad they didn't go with the man-corsett Cosmic Boy from
that era.

That Saturn Girl's costume design looks so much like Storm's my head is about to explode...
What's worse for my head, the differences (gloves instead of bands, no cape, no diadem, other color) are really setting them apart.
Cockrum was a genius when it came to costumes, wasn't he?

I didn't start picking up the Legion until Cockrum's run, so I'm familiar with that version of Saturn Girl.  Looks like this will be my second DC figurine to order.

I see the possibility for a Storm conversion in that Saturn Girl, otherwise no interest.

Two more confirmations today.

Hourman (Rex Tyler)

&

Batgirl (Barbara Gordon!!)

Batgirl is a fantastic pick, though a confusing one since they confirmed Batwoman for this extension and they've already done a Batgirl (black leather version).  It's a bit depressing that Barbara is confirmed 3rd, she should be the one and only.

I'm excited they're doing the different identities for characters. I'd rather have Babs than Cassandra Cain, but I'm in for BOTH Blue Beetles and if they do a Barry Allen Flash or Renee Montoya Question, I'd be in for them to go with my Wally and Vic.

I've got the Cain Batgirl, but I'd love to have a proper Barbara Gordon version.  I just hope they don't go for the Adam Hughes interpretation of lovely but clumsy.

Those sound like keepers for sure, Ryan.   Good choices.
