I just picked up a Hawkeye at my LCS. Looks great. I passed on the Bullseye they had, maybe next week.

For those of you pre-ordering with Midtown, do they hit you with the full
shipping charge each time ($9.95 for UPS Ground for me, looks like) one or
two are delivered?
••
As near as I can tell, if your total order is over a specified amount, shipping
is free, even if the order is not shipped in one package.

Correct, Midtown just confirmed this. There's no reason not to pre-order with these guys at this point.

Hawkeye & Bullseye fresh from the comic shop:
Bullseye's costume is lighter than I expected (expected black)--otherwise
perfect.
Hawkeye is perfect.

They look SWEET!!!
I ordered Hawkeye from Midtown, but for some reason Bullseye is still listed as TBD and the site won't let me do anything but pre-order it. Grrrrrrrrrrrr... Maybe my LCS will have it when I go in this weekend.

Black Cat arrive today, but no Hawk- or Bullseye. Concern mounts.

Gary, your Hawkeye has a much better paint job than mine!
Do the scaling issues bother anyone? Mostly its really good but I wanted to have a display of Britain's premiere superteam, Excalibur! The 80's Claremont/Davis one that is! However, Kitty Pryde is as tall as Captain Britain, if she stands up straight! (see pic) Agh!
Btw, I add Iron Man just to show how small he is too.

The scale is slightly off on some figures -- the height of Dr. Strange has
been mentioned before -- but not enough, I feel, for it to be an issue. I
display mine with the width of a base between each base, and the "height
problem" becomes less obvious.

Scaling doesn't bother me either. I take these figurines to be a display of the individual character and not as a representation of how they'd actually look stacked up against the entire line.

If they went by scale, Galactus couldn't be a figurine.
Just hit me: Hope they do Uatu!!

Anthony, the scale issue isn't very problematic... they're generally close
enough that only a few have stood glaringly out (Dr. Strange mainly) and
by moving him to the background it evens out.
