I wanna see the whole line, with accessories. They look weird so far, but, maybe with articulation and everything, eventually theyll look good. Ill get them either way!

I do like the body of Claire, I must admit, but I still see no likeness. It was a good attempt, though.

I really do like Clair's body and hair. But jeez, I really hope they improve that face before release! There's something really off around the nose area.

The bodies and accessories sound/look great .... but I don't think any of the heads hit the likeness except Mohinder. I do like the painting accessory with each tho!
Peter and Clarie don't look like the actors at all. The hair sculpt and a lot of the face sculpt is good, but there is something signigicantly off - the eyes I think. For Sylar the likeness is there but he looks to beefy. Hiro doesn't have the actors characteristics, but atleast he looks asian.
Mohinder is the best one - although he does look a little young in the one shot, which is ironic since they made all the younger actors look older.
I might get them, I might not. If the scale is good, maybe for customs parts.

Highly anticipated, but pretty disappointing.
Of all of them Mohinder looks the best, but is the one character I have absolutely zero interest in purchasing an action figure of (even with his "punching bag" superpower).
Sylar looks pretty decent, but something doesn't seem quite right. Unless that's the "damaged" Claire head they're displaying, then it looks nothing like the character.
I can kind of see Peter and Hiro in their figures, but the likeness isn't anything spectacular.
The articulation seems a little "off" as well. The "V" hips are very "old school" and I would have expected "T" hips similar to DST's latest figures.
Of them all, I'll probably still grab Hiro and Sylar because they're two of my favourite characters and with the "costumes" and accessories they're at least recognisable for who they're meant to be. Mohinder is a definite "no" and Claire and Peter will depend on whether the figures look any better "in store".
The accessories for the most part are pretty cool. Although I didn't realise one needed to carry a "Messenger Bag" to be a hero!
Cheers, Haeph.

OK, so the rest look quite nice. So far, IMO, Peter and Sylar have the best likeness. Shae the exclusive Peter isn't more interesting (like in black outfit when he was hiding or from the finale). But I'd definitely get these. Now I only need to figure out where to display them.

There looking OK, but I will probably get them no matter what. I'm loving the accessories, especially the paintings. I can't wait to see who else they're going to do. Sylar and Mohinder look pretty good as far as likeness goes. Hiro is hard to tell, and somethings off about peters mouth. The top part of his face looks good. Claire needs some work. Her eyes are too close together, and her face needs to be stretched out more(sideways) so her face is more round. Hopefully they can fix these things...I'm not sure If I like the sideways view or not

The thing that worries me about the figures is these are the prototype/advertising figures - so they have the best paint jobs, likenesses, etc.
Generally speaking by time figures hit stores the likeness gets lost a little, paint jobs vary, etc, etc. If the likenesses are only passing on the 'best' of the figures, what are they going to look like when they hit stores?

Exactly, Jbrow... Besides why on earth would they put MOHINDER in the first line? I mean c'mon, there are many more interesting characters to become a figure than the powerless Mohinder. Maybe Nikki/Jessica, that'd be way better.
Well, anyway, I like them. I think the bodies are really good, and though Claire's face is totally off, she'll probably be the first, if not the only, one I'll get, because I love the character, so...

Maybe Nikki/Jessica, that'd be way better. Who knows how they are going to be releasing the figures. I know they talked about the process taking a long time, so the first wave would not have any new characters from the second season, so I wonder if they are going to release the figures by season (series 1 = season 1, series 2=season 2, etc) or release a few series's from each season. If they are doing the latter, I can understand holding off on Nikki/Jessica because for one the storyline got better as they season went on with DL and what not, but also she is the perfect character to do a Previews variant - release Nikki as part of the regular series, and Jessica as the Previews Exclusive - so holding off on releasing her till a later wave stretches out the figures and variants that will sell. I can't help but think that Mohinder was included in the first wave to avoid any political backlash .... but I think his character would be a better fit for a season 2 set of figures, since he becomes involved in several story lines a lot more, and has more of a active role in the story.

I have to say, the more I think about them and check them out, the more they grow on me.
I wish they had been more realistic (along the lines of McFarlane/NECA) but they do have a stylized charm to them, and at least they all have a similar look to them - it's not just a few figures horribly off. I will get them I think depending on the price and availability - I will pass on the Peter variant though, but I can see that being a good seller for people who only want a few figures from the show or figures with more dynamic poses.

im just glad they have articulation.
i think with the inclusion of Mohinder, its the human of the set. hopefully that means HRG in series 2 and Ando in series 3.
series two i see being like this: Matt Parkman Nikki Nathan Issac Noah Jessica exclusive
Series 3: elle DL Ted spragues short hair Peter Future Hiro Ando ;D
