Hmm, the list of forecoming figurines seems interesting !
- Quicksilver
- Black Widow
- Kang
- Havok
- Falcon
in order to complete my Avengers, I think I will get Quicksilver, Black Widow and the Falcon, depending of the look of the figurines of course !
Hercules seems pretty good, but I don't get it why EM didn't release him as a Special. In comics, he is supposed to be HUGE (as huge as Colossus I would think ...)

Ryan, you say your Cap needed painting pretty bad.
Personally I think you have done a good job...don't put yourself down ;-)

Hercules is a must-have. I wonder which Havok they'll be doing. That
headdress would be a bear at this scale!
Look forward to Quicksilver, the Widow, and Kang. Whether I pick up the
Falcon will again depend on which version.

Now that I've jumped into the X-Men pool, I'll definitely get Psylocke. Vulture and Hercules are both wonderful. And the next 5 are near sure things as well, depending on the versions. I really want the black leather and long red-haired Widow.

Gerry, I posted photos of a Captain Marvel redo I'm working on, but I haven't done anything else to it yet. She-Hulk is my next project, I'm hoping to shave down her shoes and gloves, put her in a black & white FF uniform and add her missing forelock & more hair.
After that, as times allows, Captain Britain might become Guardian (since the real Guardian figure will probably be out before I get around to it); I bought a Phoenix to experiment with, I'm going to try to reposition her arms, redo her hair and change her bust so it's a single curve across her body; and I bought a Cyclops to give the Classic treatment to.
For me, that's several months worth of work!

Sounds like Ryan has been bitten by the "Renascence Man" bug...
Good re-paint on cap.
I've not held any of these figures -- saving me scrolling through pages of postings -- what is an approximate size? The picture above seems to say 90mm -- about 9cm - or a little more than 3 inches tall. Is that right?

It's a shame these figures are such a motley collection. Some of them are absolutely spot-on and of the appropriate classic design, while other are either not of equivalent quality or are of misconceived modern redesigns. That Hercules is wonderful, but then he's standing next to a cauliflower-headed Leader.

Since the famous phrase has it that "70% of everything is crap", and I look at my Eaglemoss display, and see that I have 51 of some 60 figures thusfar released stateside, I would say this series is definitely bucking the trend!

Ryan, may I ask what type of paint you used for Captain America? Mine needs some touching up as well--I hate the "blood" red color they used.
