I pre-ordered Spider-Woman figurine with no preview shot available, but I see no reason to fear she wouldn't be at least good as the others.
Incidentally, I've always liked Spider-Woman's costume. Outside of the glider web-looking panels, nothing about it really says "spider" (to me, at least), but it's really cool. Thoughts?

Maybe the Grey Hulk, especially since I can't find Green Hulk, at least not yet.
******
Hulk is one of the Specials so that could be the problem.
The bigger sized guys all are e.g. Juggernaut, Apocalypse, Thanos, Colossus

I've got Juggernaut, Thanos, & Colossus. Gonna pass on Apocalypse. Not a favorite character of mine by a long shot.

I saw the green Hulk when I was in Strasbourg a few weeks ago, and I didn't
get him. I opted for Colossus instead. Now, I wish I'd ponied up the Euros
and bought 'em both.

WARNING: take a close look at your Nick Fury before you buy him, so many of them in Forbidden Planet in London had fat necks! I don't know if this was just a duff batch but some of them hardly had a jaw line at all! I ended up getting a nice one from a recent convention.
Mysterio is the latest figurine out in the UK, I'm tempted to remove his opaque white/sky blue painted dome and replace with a cloudy marble, good idea or bad idea?
I notice no one is posting pics of the figurines on the official stands, they're pretty cool (although break easily in the post) and offer a nice raised podium for these mini-marvels. Have they been seen in the US?

Update for AW. Some subscribers have received Luke Cage and Yellow Jacket/Wasp figures in the UK already. Will try and get some images up for you all later but they are on our UK forum if you are a member there.
cheers
Steve

Thanks Steve, I'll keep my eye out for these. I did have a subscription with Eaglemoss from the 1st issue right up until June but I actually had my subscription stopped because they said my card was declined! Strange, as it worked before June, during June and still works today in all other settings. It took them until August to tell me that I was no longer a subscriber! Agh! I mainly buy the figurines I want from comic shops now.
Do you know the release dates for the first DC figurines in the UK?

hi everybody!! it's my first time on this topic.I'm from France and i have been learning English at school a long long time ago so,i'm sorry to use a so "basic" language .I have already post some messages on Grim reaper's site and i hope almost everybody can understand my ....(where is my dictionary????)..opinions(ho!! it's the same word..great!!).I'm collecting those figurines for nearly two years(46fig+3"specials") and like many others,I'm disappointed by some choice of Eaglemoss.Not enough "classics"characters,"moderns suits and,the more important:WHERE IS"BATROC ZZZZE LEAPER"!!!!!the one and only (almost!) Marvel's french character(it's a joke....maybe....). Cheerio and like they say in Quebec "au revoir!!!"
