It seems the Future Foundation Spider-man is starting to arrive in the UK.

Apparently, Amazon Brazil is selling the Avengers Controller BAF wave way before the release date.. I have seen it for several weeks already and today I decided to order Speedball to see if they are really delivering the figures now. I'll post more pictures when I receive it...

Just an update: Actually my pre-order was canceled some days later as the retailer admitted they actually didnt have the figures in stock as anounced. Amazon has not refunded me yet though.

I actually feel like this Controller BAF wave is the strongest BAF wave we have coming out so far this year, and I'm actually really happy with all of the characters (minus Iron Man), and I will be getting this whole wave to build Controller, some awesome additions in this wave US Agent, Speedball for new Avengers, Blue Marvel looks great, Madame Hydra doesn't offend me at all and I need her for my ladies collection plus Serpent Society and Hydra ranks, that Herald Thor is really cool, and I'm going to get 2 of Quake so I can also have Maria Hill, despite others I think this wave is pretty damn sweet, I can't wait to get it.

Glad to have the pics, but not a fan of the "selfie" style overhead pics. Makes a lot of these things look like the cheesy 4 inch scale inaction figures. In particular the US Agent figure looks pretty rough, though I know what the Reaper buck looks like in-hand and I know the US Agent figure is gonna be miles better than the last one. Also, don't feel like this is a Must Have wave, nothing this year has been, but I do think the Controller looks good, and unlike the Shang Chi wave, where I had to have that Hyde, there is really nothing in this wave that I just loathe having to buy. Of course they managed to screw up Madame Hydra a 2nd time by using the stupid KB buck, but at least the head sculpt is way better than the last one. This will be the only other full wave I've bought this year besides the Bonebreaker wave.

This one is an easy one to cherry pick. Only feel that US Agent, Thor, and Quake are Must-Haves. Dont need Blue Thanos, dont know Blue Marvel (though I am tempted to get him so I can use the head on a Shield Agent), Speedball looks great, but not a must-have for me, and Madame Hydra looks rushed (easy pass).

This wave has some cool figures and some that needed more to get there, for me though, the Thor figure really has my attention.

This pic really illustrates that USAgent needed bigger body or at least bigger arms, beefy arms from Punisher with slight modification would work great and really would have distinguished him from Cap. I wouldn't be even be mad if they slightly remolded that body with USAgent details like boots and gloves, as you can see in pics that beefy Punisher is much closer to USAgent body wise and just better body sculpt altogether.

I dont know what it is called but something looks off about the helmet, reminds me of how South Park draws babies.. can almost see the top of Iron Mans head bobble off the bottom as I write this

I think part of the problem is they made the eyes too big (specifically too large vertically) and emphasized the jaw a little too much compared to how it is in most of the art. The helmet looks great in art, but this was not the ideal realization of it in physical form.

Since Nakayama is doing the packaging artwork, now I'm thinking it's a missed opportunity not to repurpose his own recent Iron Man variant cover. Not that it's the end of the world, it would just have been a clever move for consistency. (I think it's also possible he got comissioned this cover after Hasbro was set on the packaging design for this wave)
