          That Joker is fantastic! It immediately made me think of Marshall Rogers.

 With that said, how cool will it be to have that Green Arrow next to Hawkeye!
 
 Or how about a Darkseid/Thanos combo!
 
 I can't wait to see the DC's "Big Three" on my self with Captain America, Spider-Man, and Thor!
 
 Cool!

          Oh, MAN. The site says they're doing Dormammu. I have no idea why that

          Wow. I ordered a few of these from Midtown on Monday, and they arrived today. Very nice.

          I got the Thor and Dr. Doom to go along with my Silver Surfer.  I wanted the Dr. Strange, but the face did not look good to me so I passed.  The Phoenix figurine looks really good, may get that next week.

          I'll jump in the pool when Alpha Flight figures get released.

          Thinking about ^^******'s idiotic insistance on the current version of the Beast being the one that gets the sculpt --- this gives me some pause vis the DC figures.  DC has long been somewhat schizophrenic about their history, pumping out mountains of ARCHIVES and SHOWCASE editions, while at the same time crapping all over the characters in the monthlies (HA!) themselves.  WHO'S WHO annoyed me in this respect, devoting as much space to worthless, obvious flash-in-the-pan characters as to characters with 50 years of history.

 |  If this same mentality manifests in the figures, I fear they are likely to be a motley bunch. |

 |  Does anybody else get a strong Neal Adams vibe from that Green Arrow figurine?. Maybe a little bit too muscular in the arms, but it looks pretty awesome. It makes me want to start collecting this stuff. Must...resist...urge... |

That's the one big thing I always preferred about OHOTMU. A character like Angar the Screamer, for example, got one page, while someone like Thor would get 3 or 4 pages.  |

 |  Dumb question:  I've been looking for a few of these figures, including Captain Britain on JB's recommendation, but the online retailers I've seen all look like figures 1-16 are available, 17-30 are pre-orders, 40-45 are available, etc.  How does the numbering work, and do I have to go through a UK distributor to get some of these middle range figs? |

          They were available in the US later than the UK and to catch up they started with 31 & 32 together with 1 & 2, then 33 & 34 with 3 & 4, so if you wait the middle range figures will come to the US.
