New paint apps that we know of so far: In the WAVE 17 case Doc Ock (different shade of green) Electro (different green) & Jumpin' Spider-Man (different paint job) comes in new "HERO UP!" packaging Venom & Spider-Man in new HERO UP! packaging In refresher cases currently being shipped: Spider-Woman (minor color change) & Hulk (new shade of green) in HERO UP! packaging The following have had POSSIBLE color changes. - Captain America/Red Skull - Tigra/Spider-Man - Spider-Man/Tombstone - Human Torch/Silver Surfer (Wave 13) This was all figured out over on TheRumorBuster. therumorbuster.com/board/index.php?topic=535.0I hunted down all of these packs yesterday and this morning except for Doc Ock/Black Spidey and Spider-Woman/Hulk. I'm especially anxious to find the Doc Ock pack NOW since it's pretty much impossible to tell the difference between a new pack and an old one on eBay with no Hero Up! on the packaging. Anyway, I after purchasing these packs and carefully examining the new figures - comparing them side by side with the originals, I have found NO real differences with the new Tigra, Tombstone, and Surfer packs and only a very minor difference with the Cap/Skull pack (slightly more glossy cap and better quality of paint applications overall). Those packs are likely going back to the store today. I also noticed Hero Up! Venom's tongue is a much darker shade of red than the original. It's not really obvious since the tongue is completely inside of his open mouth for this figure, but it does stick out with side by side comparison. Anyway if anyone has an extra new Doc Ock/Spidey or Spider-Woman/Hulk pack I'm looking to buy. I got Doc Ock, send me a message.

Finally found wave 17 at a Target in San Jose. A little kid with his mom also walked by and saw that I had MODOK and Cap w/bike in my hand and he wanted MODOK. Thankfully there was another one for him to take so that I wouldn't have to give up mine. Also, I was just as surprised as the mom when he picked out MODOK. She was like, "I would have thought you'd like Captain America?" Hahahaha....

I still can't get over how heavy MODOK is. I thought for sure he was going to be hollow like the Blob.

Got my series 17 set thanks to Sector, and they ROCK! MODOK and Spiral are my faves of the wave, hands down, but even Bucky Cap is sweet. Also, I like the new Astonishing Wolverine sculpt. Pretty nifty!

i told my daughter it's her job to get MODOK. i'd gotten mine from bbts a while ago and had to hide them. i've seen all three packs at target since, so i picked up another one for her to give to me. now i'll have an extra to experiment on. i haven't gotten them out yet but they all look good. the line is definitely improving. i also picked up an extra wave 16 and a new red skull i saw last night while searching in vain for the barbie dream townhouse.

Wave 17 is now in my possession. Maybe I can now sleep peacefully until NYCC or TF, whichever comes first.

I have to say the new glamor camper is gonna be a better mobile base for our heroes than the mobile command center hasbro gave us. If it weren't for the proportions being wrong, one might be a good Stature or something. It's defiantly tough being Santa and not buying all the extra figs I see while shopping.

got my MODOK and spiral passed on cap., damn modok is as heavy as the hulk that went with nova and had nice paint job detail same with Spiral, but the latter is a stiff can't move any part of her. Overall its a 10 for this wave!!!

yaya: I'm just lucky that my girls will still have nerf gun fights with me. Until they come out with "Twilight" SHS, there will be no fun in Who-ville for me.

my son comes running up the stairs after school yelling "DAAAAAAAD, YOU GOT A BOX IN THE MAAAAAIIIIL. I see that it is from scifigenre and I know that it is wave 17. if the kid only knew what was in the box, he never would have handed it to me.
a merry x-mas is now secured.
the only better thing would be to get a hold of doom's castle some time early next week

Went to the newer Target near me, and I didn't expect them to have anything, but they wound up having two of each pack in the wave. I agree that this is easily one of the best waves in some time. As I thought, the Spiral pack is one of the best ever made, and the Iron Man actually doesn't look too bad. MODOK looks great as he should, and Bucky Cap came as a nice surprise as he's actually a pretty good figure. Now we just need some news to pick up so we know what's next.

Next are due in January: Reptil & Dr. Doom Thor & Abomination Spider-Man & Scarlet Witch Doom's Castle and two new vehicle sets.
