Marvel Legends Box BAF Wave

I'm pleased overall. These random waves are fun ways of getting disparate characters. Marrina and Box are the standouts for me, and while I admit I was hoping for Crossing Hawkeye, the Bullseye Hawkeye will go fine with the Dark Avengers I've inadvertently built.
 
As a big Alpha Flight fan, this is one of the best waves ever for me. I am happy they went with the red and yellow Box despite actually prefering Jim Lee's Box. Both Marrina and Box look very faithful to the source and I have no qualms. For New Warrior fans, classic Namorita must be coming soon so there's that.

I am loving Outback's Psylocke, those colours pop. I have no interest in the others but I am going to get the whole wave (sans Wolverine) no matter what.

Now, my campaign to complete classic Alpha Flight with Talisman begins.
 
Box is so perfectly sculpted with his shorter legs and larger upper body. Marrina is perfectly sculpted as well, but I wish she had an angry head. She did have a bit of a temper at times. Just ask Puck.

With Bullseye/Hawkeye, I'm really kicking myself for not getting the Cabal 3 pack to get a better Iron Patriot. I'm still rocking the one from around 12-15 years ago. I am hoping for an even more updated one using the new Extremis body.

Betsy just made so many A.T. people happy. She wasn't a super-major want of mine, but I'll still happily add her to one of my displays.

I have the popcorn bucket of Robbie's car. Slightly small, but it'll do in a pinch.

Really don't care for that US Agent look or for another Lady Deadpool, but at least she has a much better body.

So glad I can pass on Ultimate Wolverine. Zero need for him. Hell, I don't even know if it's Logan. I thought he was killed ages ago.
 
This feels like the end of an era for me. I've been loudly clamoring for Outback Betsy as my number one want since I started collecting, around 10 years ago, and this figure looks absolutely perfect. I don't even care that the BAF isn't Armor (or any other team-finisher, evidently). Also very excited for Winter Soldier Wolverine, as I've been reading that book pretty much solely on how much I liked the costume design, and have been hoping to see it make its way to toy form at some point.
 
Unfortunately, all I'm in for is Marrina and maybe Betsy. I'd like Box too, but there's no way I'm buying the rest of the wave to get him. Hopefully I can obtain all the pieces via the BaF parts trade thread, so anyone not building Box, hit me up and I'm more than happy to paypal you some cash money.

Also, does anyone else find Marrina's smiling head out of character? I never took her for the happy type. I feel like she's always been more of a melancholy character. I would prefer her portrait reflect that.
 
If I was into comic figures, I'd love that Psylocke. I'd also be happy because I would want the Madison Jeffries Box, so that would save me some trouble. Also reeeeeeally grateful it's been years since I had to chase BAF parts.

Her head here is the only part of her that skews a bit modern. I agree she tended to be more stoic and melancholy. But I'm still thrilled. I agree including an additional more savage portrait would have been nice.
 
This wave is great. Very stoked to be getting Robbie and to finally have a figure to put in this Ramen Hellcharger I've had for a while now!

Alpha Flight getting two figures in one wave after years of drought is fantastic. Talisman next, please! Then let's talk about some villains and some necessary redos.
