I'd rank them myself, but why bother when you've done it for me? Seriously, you're rankings are almost spot-on how I'd rank them. The ONLY difference is that I'd rank Mandarin a bit lower, but only because I hate the new sculpt.

Hate the new sculpt?!?!
Its Lo Pan from Big Trouble in Little China! How can you not love it!

*sniff* It's all in the reflexes.

As soon as they make a Big Trouble in Little China miniatures game, I will love it. I was actually hoping for a sculpt of the Mandarin though.

002 Iron Man - 5
No real change from the old one, its all been said before on this thread

006 Moon Knight - 4
I just dont see how hes worth while in anyway. Id give him an even lower score, but due to Thunderbolts and his cheap cost I might find something he could do

012 Shang-Chi - 9
Hes not Icons Supes (the only real 10, as far as Im concerned), but you could support this guy with TA's and a feat or two, and he is the best for points

019 Darkhawk - 5
With a wildcard anything is possible, but this guy doesnt give much to work with.

021 Toro - 3
Didnt expect much, and I wasnt dissapointed

024 Black Panther - 8
He makes a great teamate, which seems to be the intent of the designer. I really like this version. Maybe not as abusable as the old rookie, but will be great in large point games

029 Taskmaster - 1
Even Babe Ruth struck out every now and then

032 Red Skull - 6
Im thinking he might be the sleeper fig in this set, where he plays much better than he looks. Keep a couple Hydra rookies as mastermind fodder, and a Hydra medic next to him, and he will play just like he should.

036 Falcon - 7
I like this guy, I really do. Not the best of stats, but hes just constantly moving and attacking and I can use that as a great secondary to go through and finish everyone off

047 Wiccan - 7
Hes not Jane Foster or a con artist, so while he makes a great support piece, I cant give him the same ratings I would give them

051 Spider-Man - 8
Love this piece, keep the dial and just give him the Spidey TA and the blue and red suit and he would be my all time fav

054 Ares - 9
With Thunderbolts to MOE, and Shellhead on this guy he will most certainly be a one-man killing machine. Hes the closest Seth's created in my eyes, to a 10 but the lack of flying (and Im not saying he deserves flying) is what keeps him from reaching a perfect 10

061 Mandarin - 7
I love options, the more the better. This guy is the definition of options

Ironman 1. What a waste of a slot, a remake of an ultimate.
shang chi 10. This is what slots were meant for.
black panther 6. Lost 2 points cos I've got to cut the rockery off the base.
Task master 9. Don't care about the points cost, I'm looking forward to playing him.
Red Skull 5.
Wiccan 5. As long as we don't have to wait 2 years for the rest of em.
spiderman 5. I already have 5 different spiders
mandarin 5.

Okay, I'll give ya that. Its definitely not the Mandarian but it gives me hope for a Jack Burton look-a-like click. Closest we got so far is Damage.
Shang Chi is perfect for Wang Chi. There names are only off by 2 letters.

Sorry for hijacking the thread a little. Proceed with the votes.

002 Iron Man - 7 The Special Power is useless but he's about 10 points better than the U Ultimate version. I fully expect to see him much more often than the original on Ultimate theme teams.

012 Shang-Chi - 8 Solid figure - kinda Iron Fist light.

024 Black Panther - 7 Pricey, but an incredible support piece. In big games he's gonna be nasty.

029 Taskmaster - 4 Pricey for middling stats. Wildcard is the saving grace. If he didn't take damage from his Special Power he'd rate a 6.

032 Red Skull - 5 Lots of support powers which always makes figures pricey (see Panther). With the right support he can be moderately effective.

047 Wiccan - 8 Meh on the character but I like the Special Power. Good dial for aggressive players - you want to push and he gives lots of good reasons to do so.

051 Spider-Man - 8 Best Special Power so far - and is the sole reason I want him. Stick him next to an Inspiring Command Captain America and he is dual-incapping the heck out of a team. "Protect this!"

061 Mandarin - 5 Front loaded Barrier means he won't be on that click for long. 156 is too much for what he does. Too much like the Xplosion Vet for 15 points more. Special Power is clever - but am I using a figure who will be 30-55% of my team to Smoke Cloud, TK, Force Blast, Barrier, or EE? Just seems a big fat target to me...

Ares - 3 The character so far stinks. He's a dull brute with a big mouth. I can go to a sports bar and see about a dozen of these - so am I reaching for him at home - nope. 275 is way too high. Pass.

Darkhawk - 2 More like "Darkwho" - this guy doesn't even seem familiar. If I don't recognize a character, there is no way he's ever being played.

Toro - 9 Average stats, a little mobility, Defender TA - kinda meh-what does this Special Power say? Now Dat's What I'm Talkin' 'Bout!!! Phenomenal special power makes this guy the first must field figure spoiled. As a player who rarely uses figures with higher than a 10 attack, auto-hitting someone while using a support power is AWESOME!

UPDATE:

Moon Knight - 7 decent cheap figure. Special Power is for a last resort. May not take the place of my CM E version - but he is a bit beefier so I could consider it.

Falcon - 6 Neat Special Power and very mobile which drives up his cost. He needs feats to really be effective and then we're moving into 80-90 point land, awfully steep for 2 damage.

Well I've updated the first post to include my reviews on the Critical Hit Previews! I can't believe we're finally getting a Darkhawk, and he's actually decent.

Likewise, but I didn't do the Feats. Reprint-tastic!

002 Iron Man - 3 The figure not counting his special power just seems all right to me, a little bit pricey for what he does. I'd rank him a 6. However, just having such a dumb, worse than useless, power makes him lose a point. He loses two more points on the revelation that said useless power makes him a big liability when facing a team with mindcontrol.

012 Shang-Chi - 10 I thought that Wildcat was a really good close combat piece, but when you factor in the wildcard TA Shang-Chi really shows him up.

024 Black Panther - 7 He has the potential to really shine with the right TAs to copy and feat cards. Unfortunately, he kind of needs those things to justify his cost.

029 Taskmaster - 2 I'm not sure when or why he would be worth his points to play.

032 Red Skull - 4 Just sort of "meh"

047 Wiccan - 6 Looks okay, nothing Shiney.

051 Spider-Man - 9 Very solid stats with an awesome power.

061 Mandarin - 7 He gets the 7 for all those powers, but generally he looks tricky to use for his points.

Actually against Bobby, you'll get to beat him into the ground as both a New Warrior AND a West Coast Avenger.

Iron Man - 5
- Too similiar to the old version and a bad special power.

Shang-Chi - 9
- A deadly addition to the family of powerful low-cost figures.

Black Panther - 7
- Lack of range reduces his usefulness, but he's a solid attacker/support figure.

Taskmaster - 1
- An absolute failure.

Red Skull - 2
- Watch your opponent sit back and relax while Mr. Skull just kills himself for him.

Wiccan - 7
- An excellent taxi and support piece.

Spider-Man - 7
- A useful special power (who would've thought?) and a version that finally gets an 18 defense with Super Senses.

Mandarin - 6
- 12 range Barrier may be a nice gimmick, but having Willpower or ESD would have made him much better.

I won't bump it every time, (and I haven't) but I do see that I'm not the only one editing in new comments as items appear and such additions don't get it to appear on the main page, so I wanted to give others a chance to get in on this thread.
