Hi Franco, not sure if the list is on here but FATSAL over on our forum (www.superherofigurineforum.com) has compiled a PDF checklist with AFAIK release dates. Well worth a look.

I hope this helps

Fun to see that visual checklist. Reminds me of which figures I skipped --- and why!

A very handy thing, there. Also nice to see release dates are about 90 days after the solicit dates, and I can plan my LCS trips accordingly.

Notification via email just now that the Black Cat has shipped.
Not Bullseye or Hawkeye, tho -- but they were in a different order. Perhaps
they will ship later today.

The Black Cat looks just great. Weird how these figurines can be so dramatically hit or miss....

Thanks Steve!
Black Panther is the only one I've missed.

I think there are far more hits than misses in this collection. In fact, for me, the biggest reason I don't get a specific figurine is because I'm not a fan of the character and not because I think the sculpt or costume is off model. There are a few rare examples that run counter to this, of course, but for me 99.9% of the line is a hit.

The only real misses for me, out of figures I would have bought because I love the characters, are Iron Man (hate the armor), She-Hulk (just doesn't look right to me, too buff I guess), & Doc Ock (hate this version). I made the decision, due to cost and space, to not buy any X-Men, so figures like Beast and Cyclops don't bother me much now.

Part of my definition of a "miss" is, I admit, completely biased. I suppose this new-fangled Beast is spot-on, but... yuck!

Yeah, Beast is a total miss for me. I passed on Iron Man for the same reasons you did, Ryan (hoping for a variant classic version), but I like the She-Hulk sculpt. Different strokes. I passed on Doc Ock for a long time, as I'm not a big fan of the trench coat version, but it's close enough for me that I eventually added it to my collection. That may be why I ultimately get the Cyclops version as well. Not a fan of the Morrison era sculpt, but it's close enough in the way Doc Ock was that he may find his way into my collection as well.

She-Hulk is too buff, but balances with perfect "attitude". I'd call that a hit. Iron Man i'm not crazy about, but Stark changes his armor. This is just a momentary moment! Doc Ock I like -- probably because it reminds me more than a little of my version of the character. Cyclops I have order because he's only a tweak or two away from being right.

I just drove to the next town over and the LCS I know orders these every month. They are more of a specialty toy store than anything, and everything popular gets marked up (nothing lasts at the suggested retail price for long). So I guess I shouldn't have been surprised to find Punisher for $12, Black Cat for $15, Hawkeye for $20 and the new black Spider-Man for $35. I picked them up, put them down, and walked out. Midtown, here I come.
Unfortunately, the place I bought most of my figures, and the ones I just picked up for Matt, won't order me any as he's stuck with two cases already that he special ordered and the folks never showed up again.
