I'd assume Penance is a foregone conclusion given the Gen X we've gotten so far. I'd buy her original tattered straps look with or without buckles, but after that I'm out. She's mostly a buy because she's just a box to check off on the team. I don't even know if I'd opt for Mondo to be honest. He didn't do much and ended up an evil close or some shiz.
I want all of these but Reptil would be the priority! Finesse, Hazmat and Mettle would all also be purchases for sure. Striker and Veil are the least interesting of the group to me, but I'd likely still buy figures of them.
Yes to Penance (either as Hollow or as Monet/Penance with alt. head/hands), yes to Reptil and Hazmat but I'd pass on the rest of Avengers Academy. Maaaaaybe Mettle. I did like the Avengers Academy: The Arena book they were in with X-23 and Darkhawk.
All of the classic Avengers Academy members depicted are a huge want. One of the best series Marvel's put out in the 21st Century. Second the idea of a boxset.
Definitely in for the Avengers Academy kids! Loved that book and those characters, and they would be really pop as a team on the shelf. A boxset would be a dream.
