Last green She Hulk we got was the A-Force set, also where there was a Sif, so if that's who those first two are, either would be nice for fans who didn't want to buy the whole set for just one or the other.
I can't imagine that last one isn't Elektra. But we just got her in the SP//dr wave. So all molds that were already on hand. All characters we've already had. Feels very uninspired. As always, whichever wins, good for those that want 'em. No skin off my teeth to keep $20. |

Those are hopefully just placeholder silhouettes so that they don't reveal who is actually in the poll. I guess we'll find out the poll choices at Toy Fair this weekend.

Wonder if these silhouettes are just placeholders or if they'll be actual potential repaints. The inclusion of Angela's sword and sheath with the Sif silhouette & the inclusion of the katana with the Elektra silhouette make me possibly think the latter. Neither of those figures originally came with those accessories.
Think that's Silk, instead of She-Hulk. The body proportions match, plus you can see a rippling of fabric over her face-sculpt. |

That looks like Silk over She-Hulk. The splayed gesturing hand is the major difference, which She-Hulk didn't have.
I'll take any release of Silk they throw at me. She's had a couple of unique looks over the years, (hopefully it will be her webbing costume look) and while I still have the original, I remember it being very difficult to find thanks to the one per case pack and the fact that the Space Venom wave was distributed rather poorly at the time.

Another reason that's not She-Hulk...that silhouette doesn't have bare feet.
That said, I already have Silk, and I don't care about Sif or Elektra (I mean, she was JUST released), so...pass! |

A classic, less angry She Hulk (not necessarily "happy") using the body of the angry version in the latest FF wave would be great to get! Fingers crossed that is one of the voting options.

Last time they had a fan vote, they made all the choices anyway.

I would imagine that Elektra would be in her white costume. Possible but less likely would be Skrull Elektra.
I hope the first one is a green She Hulk. However, it could also be a Sue Storm but made with translucent plastic. |

The first silhouette is almost definitely Silk. If you go to the fan vote page and view the image directly you can see the figure has red fingers, grey stripes on the shoulders, and a red fabric mask. Sif and Elektra are pretty obvious. It is possible that these are just placeholders to throw us off.

It's not Wanda, the headpiece alone is definitely not hers. There's nothing about this silhouette that isn't Sif except for the sword and sheath being from Angela.

I hope that is Silk... I hope she gets re-released just to burn all the scalpers out there. Rogue needs to get re-released too. Burn it all down... just like when they re-released Archangel and gave us a new Jean Grey.

It’s not really scalping if you’re selling the figure 2 years after release, IMO. Collectibles are always going to increase in value over time. Scalping is what people do with Walgreens exclusives at release. I bought a Bishop figure for dirt cheap a few months ago knowing his value would go up a year after release, X-Men characters always do. I usually try to keep a few figures around incase I need some trade bait (kind of where I’m at with Valkyrie and Iron Patriot right now).

^ Technically true I guess... but I still want Hasbro to re-release any figure that goes over $50 on the secondary market. That's why I loved those Star War Archive figures so much... all those collectors hoarding those older Black Series figures got burned so bad... now they will think twice about hoarding figures and just buy the figures they want.
But also at the same time... Silk was always scalper bait IMO... I never saw that wave at retail... not once... the first time I saw her was at a collector show for $30... then $40... then $50... then $70. |

Yeah, starting to think that this year's "Fan Vote" is just basically a poll for the next "Fan Exclusive" figure, which have been primarily repaints of characters like the Cowboy Logan, Big Time Spidey, Camo Punisher, Agent Anti-Venom etc.

These are a little bit... boring. I'm all for new female characters, but there are certain looks for characters that have been done to death. Like where's Cassandra Nova or Emma Frost from New X-Men (2001), Lilandra (considering we have a head) or Black Queen (Jean Grey), both based on John Byrne's art? Where's an MCU 'Agent Carter' Peggy Carter or any of the female characters from 'Agents of Shield'? And, the perhaps one of the most important Marvel women ever - May Parker? There are so many interesting female characters who could and should be made, and who should be made, and yet Hasbro seem to be content to retread the same dull territory over and over and over again.

So they're gonna re-do 3 characters that already have figures done?, Huge pass. How bout the big female buck being turned into classic Master of evil Titania? Wanna re-do Valkrie, cool, make her in a scale accurate hgt so I can throw her into my classic Defenders group, just waiting on a classic Dr Strange fig to be made. 3rd female fig could be of classic Tigra or Hepzibah of the Starjammers?

Euh... so non-US/Canada fans don't get a vote? That's nice. Shows how much Hasbro appreciates us...
