I'm more curious to see whether we get a Negative Zone suit of Johnny Storm, half-flamed on like the Toy Biz figure, or as the Human Torch. I'm also curious if Invisible Woman will be visible, half-visible or completely invisible. I'd rather see new villains like the Wizard, the Mole Man and Annihilus than a fourth Doctor Doom. Also, if we don't get Fan Channel versions of Fantastic Four characters like the Amazing Bag Man, F.F. suit She-Hulk and trenchcoat and hat Thing, then what's the point?

That some good ideas for F4 retro. What I'd ideally like to see is 2 of the four (and the other two exclusives somewhere like Gambit/Rogue), Crystal, Annihilus, Attuma and Wizard. That's my absolute ideal. I"ll be happy if we get one of Crystal, Attuma and Wizard, extremely happy with 2 of the 3, and if we somehow got all three I would be completely blown away and would gladly order the entire wave just to be sure I got them.

I'm getting back into the prioritizing never done before characters over new characters again. The list of really needed redos/alternate outfits is getting pretty small again thanks to the last few years. But I would still take a redone Annihilus, since the one Hasbro did was early in their license and they definitely had some problems with the learning curve for the first few waves, especially that first one.

The Fwoosh’s resident leaker has begun teasing out who the “Infinity Saga” special releases are. Thus far they’ve “revealed:”

- Obadiah Stane with Iron Monger
- Surtur
- Iron Man (Endgame, battle damaged) with Armored Thanos
- Iron Man Mk. III

For those curious on the source, they leaked the 80th Anniversary Collection’s complete line-up in early 2019.

Oh damnnnn. When I originally saw that Ragnarok was getting another release, I had a really hard time figuring out who it would be. That movie got so many great figures and I thought all the bases were covered. Then I realized we didn't have a Roadworn Thor from the beginning of the movie or Fenrir. I guessed the $49.99 price point would be Fenrir, but Surtur!? Sick. Still hoping for a Viking Thor to go along with that Iron Man and Thanos a la the Infinity War 3-Pack.

Instead of our umpteenth Thanos it shoulda been Iron Man, final battle Thor and a rerelease of the Walmart exclusive Cap, maybe without Mjolnir and with a shattered shield accessory?

Q Prime · 02-23-2021, 12:56 PM

The Endgame Iron Man with Thanos I might pick up, the rest currently don't appeal to me. Maybe there'll be something else that interests me, but currently I'm wishing that AoS is part of the Infinity Saga.

Interesting. Surtur might be cool, even if it's a movie design. But that would work well on any shelf, comic or movie.

Ultra Seven · 02-23-2021, 01:15 PM

I’m anxious to see what the scale is on Surtur. Hopefully bigger than MCU Giant-Man, since the price point is higher.

Yeah agree. Surtur isn't on my list, but depending on size and cost. I'm not paying over $50 for a figure that wasn't way way up on my wishlist, but I also don't want a Surtur who's less than at least twice the size of a normal legends. Three times is even better.

redfox · 02-23-2021, 05:09 PM

Ugh, my House of X wave came in today and Moira's lips are all over the place... *SIGH* This happens every single time I order online...

hasbroherofan · 02-23-2021, 05:57 PM

Surtur? Wow that's a surprise. I assume it'll be the smaller version from the start of the film, which would still be quite large.

redfox · 02-23-2021, 08:14 PM

Fixed Moira's face with a bit of acetone and swapped the lab coat and arms from Moira onto the Jessica Jones body. Loving how versatile this look is.

MeLikeJinx · 02-23-2021, 08:35 PM

^ Those look great! Especially the middle one. I want to try that, but with White Rabbit's blue coat.

Spyne98 · 02-24-2021, 08:06 AM

Great pics, Red! I'm thinking of giving the lab coat parts to a spare Hellcat that I have laying around to look like Moira's 90's look.

Also, I realized that I have so few Toy Biz era legends left in my collection. I don't expect this to apply to everyone, but for me, all Hasbro has left to update is:

Toad
Avalanche
Dan Ketch Ghost Rider
Human Angel/Archangel
Original Baron Zemo
Longshot
Classic Luke Cage
Classic Iron Fist
Mojo (BAF)
Classic Giant Man (BAF)
and Blackheart

Honestly, I don't even think some of them need an update as they are pretty darn good already (Giant Man and Mojo for example). I know the original Hasbro era has some who need updating too (looking at you, Bucky), but I can't believe they have been able to remake so many Toy Biz characters. I know this list might not apply to everyone, but I couldn't stop thinking about it this morning so I figured I'd share.

Captain Nash · 02-24-2021, 08:17 AM

Yup my Toybiz lengends are almost phased out. For me, the two big remaining ones are Mandarin and Avalanche (he was X-Men classics not official Legends, but it's still toybiz). Oh and AOA Sabretooth of course.

I should note I don't own TB Toad but he'd definitely be needed. Same for Young Avengers.

I would really like an updated Angel, Longshot, classic Havok, classic Dr. Strange, CLASSIC Maestro, and Blackheart as well, though the Toy Biz figures aren't too bad. I'm convinced Hasbro can't get Abomination right so I'll just leave that there. I'd buy a new Mojo but I'm perfectly fine with the one I've got, he's not a priority.

I may be missing some, but I think the rest I either don't care enough, don't have, or have a different costume of the character that I'm okay with.

Oddly enough I really want an updated Angel to create a Justice custom (the head would probably be the best representation just with painted hair), more than a classic Angel himself.

Spyne98 · 02-24-2021, 10:52 AM

Oh wow, yeah I totally forgot about AoA Sabertooth, Mandarin, Dr. Strange and the Young Avengers.

Between our two lists I think we covered everyone but Vengence. Though there may still be some figures that we already have in alternate outfits but not the specific TB outfit. Even with that, that's really not that many left which is a great feeling. The line has come a hell of a long way in the last 5-6 years.

TheBlueMarvel · 02-24-2021, 11:47 AM

Hasbro did make a Danny Ketch Ghost Rider.

It functioned as inspiration for a face-off:

But if we're talking about particular TB looks/costumes then there are still a handful more holdouts like Captain Britain (Alan Davis' redesigned 2nd outfit/early Excalibur duds), Crimson Dynamo (V) (edit this fig was actually made by Hasbro - kudos Hasbro, it's still a standout), Angel (halo/Champions outfit), Bobby Drake (non-ice-form and Ultimates Uni version), Werewolf by Night (and the other Marvel Monsters), various House of M figs, etc. Although, in my opinion, this is a rabbit hole that doesn't really need to be mined by Hasbro outside of maybe an OG Power Man & Iron Fist and the non-pictured Ketch GR popular from the 90's.

Captain Nash · 02-24-2021, 05:01 PM

Doh! I forgot about the Marvel Monsters pack (mainly because I don't own it), but yeah that would be really good to get them redone. The House Of M set at times looked interesting back in the day, and if Toy Biz had been all we were ever going to get of the line, I would have likely bought it long ago, but now it would look so out of place with the majority of the line I own that I'm not even going to bother. Same for Young Avengers to be honest.

TheBlueMarvel · 02-24-2021, 08:39 PM

Yeah, definitely no need to execute a one for one reproduction of every TB figure especially a few of those House of M offerings. That said, there are definitely a few that I would like to see Hasbro-ized that have yet to get the treatment...

Somebody over at Fwoosh tried that... her hips kinda look extra wide with the coat, but otherwise looks good IMO: http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2021...c71aff013c.jpg

He also did the MJ headswap I wanted to do too... just need to find a Moira now.

Oh wow! Thank you for sharing. And here I thought I had an original idea haha. I feel like she needs a belt. Otherwise, I'm not hating that look.

And yeah, looking back now, I guess I missed a bunch of Toy Biz guys. I overlooked Man-Spider too. I'm surprised we haven't gotten a new one yet!

sh002 · 02-25-2021, 12:27 PM

Very nice Moira customs.

Is Classic Ultron an individual release or part of a future wave?

If anyone has a spare Walgreens Fallen One Silver Surfer to sell then send me a pm. Thanks.

hasbroherofan · 02-25-2021, 01:09 PM

Hasbro announced they're extending their deal with Fortnite today. I wonder if they'll do any of the Marvel characters. I liked some of those designs.

I thought Rektangular stated that he'd be in the Iron Man wave.
