RE: first five shown. I'll probably end up getting four out of five. Blink totally breaks "classic" in Marvel Classic Figurines! She's a nice sculpt, though, so I'll have to see her up close and personal.

No to Mandarin. Yes to Blink, only to mod her into Mystique. Yes to the rest. This is a nice run of characters and sculpts, overall.

RE: second five. A definite on Shocker and Valkyrie. A total pass on Bishop. A maybe on Mandarin and the Impossible Man. It may be sacrilege, but Impy has never been a favorite of mine. Nice sculpt, true to the character, but he doesn't do much for me on a personal level.

Blink looks like a quick way to get Mystique in her "proper" outfit, and a
slightly less quick way to get Talsiman. Otherwise, pass.
Pass, too, on Bishop and the Mandarin. (Geez, did they not see ANY of JRjrs
drawings of the character?)

Spider-Woman worked really well for me on my Talisman fig. The boots on Blink would probably end up being the biggest problem, changing those into the slippers that Elizabeth wore.

I seem to remember an issue of Defenders in which Nighthawk got a costume update and sported those very "claws" you see in the sculpt. However, the claws had definite "hooks" on the end to simulate bird talons. I'm operating on a memory that's more than twenty years old, so don't hold me to this, please.

Looks like I'll be utilizing the ol' Exacto knife to rid Wolver - er...I mean Nighthawk of his new claws.
