Yeah, same with me. It may not be the best solution, but I prefer it greatly to 1.0 or 2.0 feet or a second torso shell.

Finalized pictures of all sets are on Kmart.com, except for Stormer, Speeda Demon, and Core Hunter. Voltix Stringer Bulk XT4 Nex Nice artwork and such.

Don't see why everyone is so skeptical. Minifigs and elements leak from production facilities or other sources all the time. Just look at Super Heroes, Ninjago, etc. It's not regular, but it's not uncommon. Perhaps someone got a hold of this minifig from one of those facilities and it traded hands until it reached the poster? Not really a big deal either way. The minifigure itself, be it legitimate or custom, or whatever it is, looks excellent either way.

And Bulk. Don't forget Bulk. :P So basically enough Heroes/Villains remaining to do a continuation in the summer, to continue the plotline.

Don't worry, guys. Working as fast as we can and I'll keep you posted. ;)

Nothing says it's not real. The cast list for "Rampant Oceans' including the character names as well as the theme name have been on IMDB for months. Just because someone put them on wikipedia doesn't make them false. Of course we don't know how legitimate the IMDB cast list is, but still.

Well, it's not entirely baseless, considering it's on the internet movie database far before it was on wikipedia. As to whether or not that's 100% reliable... I can't speak to that. @Vinyl Scratch: I'll have to get in contact with you more about that in the coming days as to how exactly that would work, because if we were to do that we'd definitely need some help. Breakout was recorded, by the way, but as to when it'll be uploaded to our channel... I can tell you that it will be soon, but how soon is up in the air. Working as fast as we can to get it out to you guys. My thoughts on the episode...

I manage the channel, yeah.

We'll be uploading it to our youtube channel in HD like we did with Ordeal of Fire and Savage Planet. So happy times will be had.

Not even triple-posting; more like quintuple-posting. I'm in the same boat, really. Iron Man, from day one, as been a must-buy in my book, due to his impressive parts selection and solid build without many flaws. Thankuflly, that hasn't changed. Captain America is looking better and better to me, but I'm undecided as to whether he's worth a purchase.

Well, Stormer XL, In Breakout, is not only constructed differently, but has different armor placement and is significantly scaled down to fit with the other heroes. If you didn't know he was a titan set-wise, you'd think he'd cost $12.99, like I did. So, technically, Stormer XL, in Breakout, is in fact Stormer 4.0.

There will likely be a summer episode, you know. While that may have been the final episode of the initial Breakout two-parter, that's not to say it's the final episode for the entire year.

Well, in the actual show, Stormer is downscaled in order to resemble the construction of a normal hero rather than a titan, as is evidenced by his leg design. Taking that into consideration, there's a slim possibility that the set, if built as constructed in the show, could fit. I heavily doubt it, but it's possible.

All you had to do was type in "Hero Factory" and change the "sort by" option to "Upload Date". That allows you to check for recent uploads filed under those keywords. Just something useful to know for the future; it's a handy way for finding new videos and whatnot. Regardless, I'll link it rather than him; here you are. Apparently, a version with english subtitles is incoming sometime soon. So that'll be nice. From what I can see... the animation is excellent, the plot seems interesting and not rushed as I feared, as well as seeming more serious than other episodes' storylines... it has potential to become my favorite episode yet. But time will tell.

Well, while that is a valid thread of logic, all signs point to the retailer exclusive not being from the Avengers. And logic would dictate that, if it is going to be a Spider Man set, it would likely be promoting something Spider Man related that will be coming out soon. As has been touched upon before, that "something" will likely be the upcoming Ultimate Spider-Man animated TV series, which, coincidentally, involves Nick Fury. As such, it wouldn't have to be "classic". Far from it, actually.

No, there is no cover art. And what book about villains are you referring to? The Doom Box? In which case, this isn't the same book. The release dates are clearly different, as are the descriptions. Here's the description for Legion of Darkness: Basically, it sounds like it concludes the 2012 story.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but here's another book: Mission #2: Legion of Darkness. Sounds like an interesting premise.

Well, Surge isn't a bad hero to get. Not by a longshot. He's worth a purchase... eventually. But if you have a choice between him and two very inventive villains that cost the same amount of money? I'd suggest go with Reapa or Jawblade. And the thing with them is that they're both unique and creative designs that offer a plethora of interesting pieces. Only problem is, while Toxic Reapa comes off looking great with his design, Jawblade ends up lookking... awkard. The fixed jaw, and stubby arms, not even mentioning the hands, don't help. I'd go with Reapa. Only a few miniscule problems that can be easily fixed.

I have to go with this. Furno and Surge have very little appeal in my eyes. Recently, some people have begun to warm up to Surge, but I still see him as having an overpowering color scheme and an awkward design. And Furno, for all intents and purposes, is decent, but has a weird color scheme with the random white and silver inserted in, as well as limited posability due to his tubes and such. Rocka's amazing, and Evo, while some call him generic, at least has a well-constructed design, with good armor placement and color layering, and a pretty awesome tank arm. So I'd go with them.

Well, now that we've seen the sets out of box and (presumably) finalized, I'm going to give a brief summary of my opinions. Iron Man - Still looks great. The recolors are many, the set design looks cohesive and Iron Man as a character mixes well with the HF aesthetic. His back armor looks very nice, as does his shoulder-mounted gun, and the head mold actually looks very nice. A (surprisingly) excellent set that holds up well against the HF sets from the summer, in my opinion. Hulk - ...I can respect the look they were trying to achieve here, and the design of the torso looks... unique, at the very least, But it looks gappy and slapped-together, not to mention the fact that his "power armor" and gunmetal chestplate negatively impact the sets visual appearance. To continue, the fact that his hands lack fingers, while it does give the impression of being fists, also impacts the set negatively IMO. The ridiculously bulky upper body and the skinny lower legs contrast far too much for my tastes, and don't even get me started on the blue pants. Overall, I dislike this set. Captain America - Mediocre. The set looks well-designed, if a bit bland. His riidculously bulky shoulderpads look... interesting, but the clashing colors are a bit off-setting. And I'm just talking about the shoulderpads. Either make them all gunmetal or all silver. It would look better. And while blue, red, and white is the character's signature colors, it doesn't translate too well into a set IMO. The shield is nice, though, as is the chainmail upper-torso armor. A set I may be interested in purchasing, but at the same time, is kind of generic. Overall this wave is nowhere near as good as the DC Ultrabuilds, which all managed to turn out to be surprisingly well-built and interesting, though Iron Man is excellent.

I agree with this. While not entirely useless (seen some great MoCs), the 1.0 heroes were.... interesting, to say the least. I personally love XT4, and he'll be one of the three sets from this wave I'll be getting.

That's what I'd recommend. I have most of the 3.0 sets and (IMO) Breakout is much better. Not that 3.0 wasn't good, but still. It's a testament to how good Breakout actually is (for the most part).

...What the heck? You're right. I had assumed that was a traditional normal socket joint. ... I don't get it. Why is it black? They didn't do that for Evo, why woul they do it for Nex?
