Anyone else a fan of these little figures? I had always wanted Marvel heroes in scale to my GI Joes as a kid, so I can't help collect them now that they're finally being produced, and I've found them to be neat little things.
Also, if anyone else is interested in them, I'm curious as to any speculation anyone has on which figures will be part of the Secret Wars 2-packs. For those who don't know, they'll be releasing each issue of the original Secret Wars comic in a 2-pack with figures from the comics themselves. So far, they've revealed 3 of the packs (Captain America and Klaw, Wolverine and Human Torch, and Spiderman and Thunderball). With a total of 12 issues, that leaves 9 issues left with 18 more figures for the sub-line. So... any guesses on who else will be included in this?

Here's the full list of figures planned or confirmed to be released, as well as the wave they're a part of.
And I'll put the ones I personally own in bold.
Wave One:
Iron Man, X-Force Wolverine, Human Torch (flame-off), Punisher, Spiderman (red/blue), Daredevil, Black Panther, Silver Surfer, Bullseye, Stealth Iron Man, Human Torch (flame-on).
Wave Two:
Captain America (Ultimates), Hulk, Ronin, Green Goblin, Iron First, Grey Hulk
Wave Three:
Ms. Marvel, Spiderman (black), Thing, Hand Ninja, Iron Man (old costume), Ms. Marvel (old costume), Punisher (different costume)
Wave Four:
Moon Knight, Blade, Union Jack, Hobgoblin, Red Hulk
Wave Five:
Namor, Electro, Guardian, Silver Centurion Iron Man, Spiderman (metallic red/blue)
There's also going to be a special wave of figures released in 2010 based on a vote. Marvel and Hasbro put up a huge list of characters, and people voted on the five they wanted to see most. Each of those five, plus 2 more due to the popularity of the contest, will be released as a special Fan Favorite Wave. They haven't released the identities of the 2 extra figures, but the five who won the contest are Archangel, Havok, Mystique, Mary Jane Watson, and Winter Soldier.
Marvel is also offering a deal where buying a subscription to their online comics gets you a free Nick Fury figure.

I just found a bit more info on the Secret Wars 2-Packs; namely, three more of the packs:
Spiderman (black) and Magneto
Cyclops and Hulk
Spiderwoman (Julia Carpenter) and Iron Man
I'm really hoping they release more figures who aren't already part of the regular line, 'cause I hate having 2 of the same thing.

Just because I'm bored, here's a list of the characters involved in the first Secret Wars and thus the list of characters most likely to be used in the 2-Packs. I've crossed off the ones already being used, and put the names of characters who already have a MU figure in bold.
Avengers: Captain America; Captain Marvel II (Monica Rambeau); Hawkeye; Iron Man II (Jim Rhodes); She-Hulk; Thor; Wasp
Fantastic Four: Human Torch; Mister Fantastic; Thing
Solo Heroes: Hulk; Spider-Man; Spider-Woman (Julia Carpenter)[/s]
X-Men: Colossus; Cyclops; Magneto; Nightcrawler; Professor X; Rogue; Storm; Wolverine; Lockheed the Dragon
Villains: Absorbing Man; Doctor Doom; Doctor Octopus; Enchantress; Kang the Conqueror; Klaw; Lizard; Molecule Man; Titania; Ultron; Volcana; Bulldozer; Piledriver; Thunderball; Wrecker
I've seen a pic of a MU Thor, but I'm not sure if he'll be part of the regular MU line or the SW 2-Packs.
And I really hope they use more villains, as there's been a serious lack of them so far.

Three more of the Secret Wars two-packs have been announced:
-Thor and Enchantress
-Mister Fantastic and Ultron
-Hawkeye and Piledriver
I have to say, I'm glad to see Ultron, Hawkeye, and Thor getting figures. And with Piledriver getting a figure, too, I'm going to guess that Wrecker will be one of the figures in the fourth and final wave.

More figures have been announced for the individual MU line as well. They include:
-Black Widow (classic version)
-Bucky
-Captain America (classic version)
-Iron Man (Extremis armor)
-Jean Grey
-Luke Cage (who comes with what is described as being 'bling')
-Spider-Man (House of M costume)
-Sunfire
-Thor
-Vision
-Warpath
-Wolverine
They're really going over-board with the Spider-Man figures, but at least this latest one will look a bit different. I have no idea what sort of design the new Wolverine will sport, though.
Still... Vision getting a figure is seven kinds of awesome. I'll be eagerly awaiting his release date.
