    Love the costume! I'd been hoping for an original-design Scarlet Witch for ages. However, not overly keen on the face change for the original design.

    Any chance you can revert the face on her original costume but keep the new face for the new costume?

    If there were a 5* witch... maybe.

    Edit:  nvm, I forgot those 5* costumes are in the $70 range.

    That price point for that amount of HP and three 3* covers plus this optional costume is very enticing.

    These deals would seem better if they were promoted as a Hero Points special with bonus Scarlet Witch covers and costume.

    I can't tell anyone how much something is worth to them, but the amount of 2100 HP for 14.99 is approx equal to 700 HP/4.99.   Compared to the actual rate in game of spending 4.99 for 600 HP, you get a few hundred HP more.  But compared to a Loonie - 19.99 for 2900 HP or 725/$4.99 it is a worse deal (in terms of straight HP).  Now again, a few 3* covers and a costume might be 75 HP to some people.

    But the HP on offer is not, to me, a "deal".  It is even worse if you were going to consider spending far more on HP, but I think comparing it to the Loonie price and rate makes the most sense.

    To me, this offer is not a bonus deal but simply approximately equal to the going rate for these resources, with the costume included.  Which again may seem like a good purchase to some, just not to me.

    The headpiece doesn't look like it is on her head, to me. It looks like it is hovering in front of her. But I suppose that could be some sort of weird optical illusion created by my brain that's used to seeing that image a certain way.

    No, I think it's the way her hair goes under it. It would kind of have to be a little way away from her face for her hair to be like that.

    I get and agree with some of the frustration around these costume offers.

    That said, I still bought this one. It's not a bad deal for the HP, and I was pretty low since I spent pretty much all my HP on roster spots in the recent sale. I see the costume and covers as a nice bonus, nothing more. YMMV depending on where you are in the game.

    This bundle deal is pretty much the carbon copy of the Kamala Khan one, when costumes were first released. Costume + 3x1 covers + Hp.
    I've overspent with the re-offered scl bundles, so im not getting this one, but im glad they arent just targeting the deepest wallets. I do hope they keep offering a wider range of prices, i think its a good call.

    It'd be more enticing if her face hadn't just been changed to be weird looking.  Have to pass.

    It looks like a bad photoshop on top of her head.

    That being said it's an enticing offer.

    $18.49 for 2100 HP plus 3 covers plus who cares when it's $24.79 for 2900 HP?  Yes please.  On Steam, anyway.

    On Android, $23.99 compared to $24.99, I think not.

    On Android in the UK:
    £14.99 for Logan's
    £13.49 for this deal.

    £3.31 from Google rewards equals £10.14 hard cash.

    Covers took me over 183 and gave me an extra champ level for Quake, 4 CP and 1000 iso

    This is a costume I have been wanting for a long time since I love Wanda's comic look and was disappointed they Went with a Movie inspired look. But this... Nope, not tempted to spend on it.

    I wouldn't describle the Uncanny Avengers costume as "classic" personally. This to my mind is her "Classic" costume in terms of the one she wore the longest:


    Toh-mato, Tah-mato I guess.

    Yeah
    , that's pretty much what I wanted, but the tiara is a move in the right direction at least.
