Iron Man is easily the best of the three, I think. Although maybe that's just because he's got the least human-like face, so looks a little more what we're used to between Bionicle and Hero Factory. Still, they're all pretty awesome!

[Tahu Nuva 3.0]

Hmm....I'm liking the Iron Man set.

[Toa Optimar-Toa of Gravity!]

Mostly uninterested in the previous DC wave, really these seem just as unappealing.

The themes these days.

[christo1096]

Thanks for report this, yesterday I sent e-mail about this.
I love the iron-man figure, captain america is pretty solid, and hulk's limbs kinda meh.
overall like them.

[Obsessionist]

These look alot better than the offerings so far, as far as looks go. Alot less disjointed and solid. Of course, we won't really know untill they come out.

[Damaracx 7.0]

They are all awesome looking I wonder what new peices they contain.

[Toa Smoke Monster]

The Iron Man set looks the best out of these three, IMO. The other two just don't look good to me. (I do like Captain America's shield though.)

[Tattorack]

I've seen them, and they all look kind of "Meh!".
Exept for Iron Man; he doesn't look great, but the "mechenical" look that these pieces give them is fitting with Iron Man.

[Vezok's Friend]

Well, the Ironman looks best. Mostly because the heads from HF parts already look a bit like him.

[Mesonak]

Iron Man's outstanding. Definitely looking to get him.

Captain America looks alright.

Hulk looks horrible.

Iron Man is the highlight of this wave. His arms look all weird, though ... they should have armored the lower arms, and not made them so stumpy. I'm liking the weapon.

Captain America looks like a gladiator/football player running though a paint factory. Red, white, and blue do not go together, and why the random gunmetal?

Hulk makes me want to vomit. The only redeeming quality about him is his huge chest armor.

Couldn't agree more!

[J46 Nui]

I actually got to see some of these sets at Comic Con over the summer. Iron Man is by far the best looking, and the worst looking one would have to be the Hulk, who looks terrible from behind.

[BioCry]

I think Iron man is the only one anybody likes around here.

I'm really looking forward to the Marvel sets. Especially, Any set(s) that may contain Deadpool.

[Gamzee Makara]

I for one think Captain Chin looks amazing.

...

Wait hold on.

[Takua Nui of GoAnimate]

Wow, finally! I can't say that these look better than the DC heroes, but I'll be picking up the Iron Man for the parts! Red, red, red! Is it just me, or do they have a new torso skeleton?

[Damaracx 7.0]

I like them all and plus did you see THE LEGO INCREDIBLE HULK's chest plate. it looks like it would be good for mocs with bulky bodies.

[DeeVee]

I will own all three of these.

[TakuaTheAvrahk]

Those look awesome, especially Iron Man.

[Damaracx 7.0]

I wish I owned them all I hope they come out soon.

[Angel Bob]

I'm really liking the gold pieces on Iron Man. The bulky chest armor on the Hulk looks a bit over-the-top to me. The sets as a whole are uninteresting, but the pieces are intriguing.

Ya the gold peices on iron man are awesome.

[~Shockwave~]

Ooh... um... ok. Here goes.
iron man, looks decent, arms could be reworked. but pretty nice.
Captain America. Um. Yikes. He isn't supposed to be that bulky. Should've h3en made smaller, with parts in the other two.
Hulk. That was a bad choice for a one piece hand. The lower legs should've been bulkier.

[Replicant]

Iron man is want for the red and gold, but other than that, I think I'm gonna pass on these sets.

[zerack: the rogue]

Hulk's pants are not purple. Lost interest...

Cap looks awkward, and Iron Man seems decent at least. Maybe cause of the massive cannon on his shoulder.

[Aanchir: Rachira of Time]

Other than the colors of the Hulk set, he's my second-favorite of these three after Iron Man. Captain America's weird shoulder armor just makes no sense to me. Meanwhile, Hulk's brutish proportions are very nice, although I wish he had fingers and longer forearms.

Of the DC heroes, Batman was my favorite for looking the least robotic of the three. Of the Marvel ones, Iron Man's my favorite because he looks very robotic, and on him it makes much more sense than on Green Lantern, Joker, or Captain America.

[Takua Nui of GoAnimate]

I've been wondering, why do Cap and Hulk have big (very big in Cap's case) silver shoulders? It looks out of place on Hulk and way too big on Cap.

[Aanchir: Rachira of Time]

I've been wondering, why do Cap and Hulk have big (very big in Cap's case) silver shoulders? It looks out of place on Hulk and way too big on Cap.

In Hulk's case, at least, it's almost certainly because they only had a budget for a certain number of parts in new colors for this series. Since the Superheroes (at least, the DC ones) are all said to be wearing "power armor" to explain their slightly-robotic look, silver shoulders on Hulk doesn't seem too out of place, although he needs armor least of all of them.

In Cap's, again, power armor, but I'm not fond of it because it is big and blocky, even compared to the stylishly-buff Green Lantern set.

I wonder if Cap can run in that stuff.

Y'know, maybe the silver armor represents Bruce Banner's shirt being torn when he undergoes his transformation into the 'big green machine'.

[TahnokVa123]

Iron Man is definitely the best, but the chest armor on Hulk...
Captain America looks pretty bad.

[Damaracx 7.0]

Why do you think LEGO CAPTAIN AMERICA looks bad, I think he looks great there are lots of blue, white, and red pieces in there it has to be a dream come true for a moc that would not want to buy so many things. Plus the shield ROCKS!

I don't think anyone is debating the part potential. It's the color scheme - not to mention those ridiculous gunmetal shoulder pads. I'm sure it'll be a goldmine for MOCists - which is why I'll probably get him, or at least the parts that interest me - but as a set, the general consensus is that he looks hideous.

I saw these pictures in Janurary . New Zealand is getting them early (I think) in May, henceworth in 2012 Catalogue #1. This comes at a price however, we also get the DC Ultrabuilds in May

Well, the Ironman looks best. Mostly because the heads from HF parts already look a bit like him.

That is true I remember the glatorian head piece it just looked like a transparent Iron man piece.
