Just curious if anybody else had picked any of these up. They are the followup from the fairly meh to awful Play Imaginative 1/12 War Machine and Iron Patriot. But the Comicave ones aren't bad. They are certainly not Sen-ti-nel or SH Figuarts. The jointing is pretty basic. They do have light up effects (when they work) and some decent accessories. They seem to be doing the oddball armors seen in IM3. I have Shotgun and Shades and have Igor and Silver Centurion on order. They seem to scale well with the SFHA releases, and at least the standard size ones fit in the SHFA Hall of Armor pieces. It also looks like the Comicave Mk VII and Midas that were cancelled last year may be back on the schedule. They do offer an incredibly expensive Hulkbuster, but to my eye the crown jewel of the line is the fairly inexpensive Igor. They have a surprisingly high amount of metal.

Picked up Shotgun a couple of years ago and wrote an INCREDIBLY detailed review that nobody cared to read on the Sideshow forums I was definitely new at the time, because today I wouldn't care about reading some crazy long post about a niche figure either. It was pretty nice and I enjoyed the metal content, but they made iffy design decisions on it re:articulation. The price was too high imo, especially considering the Sentinel stuff shows up for $120-130 on eBay fairly often, sometimes even less. Apparently the line has been cancelled; not sure about the status of Hulkbuster though.

They re announced the prior cancelled Mark VII and Midas and Gamma and Striker are apparently shipping. So no idea. I just received my Silver Centaurian and Igor. Igor is fantastic if a bit static. Not a lot of range of motion and very top heavy. But the thing is huge and gorgeous. Silver Cent... looks fantastic, but the right arm is seized at the shoulder and the legs can't support the figures weight.
