I'm really hoping for either a 90's X-Factor, New Mutants (would be my number one pick) or Alpha Flight.
Dammit Hasbro, just give us the promised Magik and the MIA Moonstar. I would also be happy with a Classic Thunderbolts set, with a DIFFERENT Songbird than is MIA (though I'd take her over none), Citizen V, Mach IV, Moonstone (different from the one we have) and Fixer. |

Outside of the upcoming Magik Hasbro has indicated they have no plans to release any X-Men related product for some time. But don't stop hoping because you'll notice that most of my SDCC Exclusive hopes are X-related anyways. It's such a shame, we are SO close to having what to me are all the essential X-Men characters done in Legends format. While there's a good 15 or so I'd like to see total, the essentials we are lacking are Madrox, Magik, Moonstar, Polaris, Sunspot and Dazzler. Seriously if we got those six figures and they never made another X-Man character I think I'd be content. I know, Karma and Wolfsbane are original new mutants and there's a lot of love there but I just never have liked either character. Oops I did also forget about the villains didn't I. I guess I'd want more than just those six. But I don't see Selene, Exodus, Deathbird (maybe since she's not just X-related) Shadow King, Nimrod, Bastion, Sebastian Shaw or Sauron as very hopeful either. Nor any of the other X-heroes like Syrin, Monet, Marrow, Blink, etc etc. I think our best hope is Magik. Maybe at some point Moonstar and Madrox since molds were done on those two at some point, albiet one was just for a fan's choice poll. *goes to cry in corner for lack of a chance for a Polaris figure* Last edited by Captain Nash; 04-01-2015 at 02:18 PM.. |

@Spyne
I could do a 90's X-force. We really need a new Cannonball and a re-draft of Domino would be cool. @Captain Nash I could definitely do an Alpha Flight. At the very least, the missing members: Shaman - Michael & Elizabeth - I'm greedy, Snowbird, Marrina, Aurora & Northstar, with Box as a BAF. If they re-drafted Vindicator/Guardian and Sasquatch, then I'd like Mac and Heather versions with Sasquatch as a BAF. This team could be an entire wave on its own... @Starlord Brother. Voodoo. He's at the top of the list of cancelled Legends prototypes that I'm trying to secure. I was very lucky and nabbed a Bi-Beast. However, I'd like to add Brother Voodoo, Red king, and that Multiple Man to my Bi-beast acquisition. |

@TBM, you have no idea how much I wish Marvel would do an Alpha Flight movie just so we could get some figures out of it! It's something that bugs me on both lines, the core members (8 or 9 I guess) it's such a small group, and yet, it's like both lines have only bothered to do half the group, and not even all the same figures.
I do wish one or the other lines would give us the remaining needed. |

@Captain Nash
I hear you, man. It bugs the hell out of me too. Flight was one of my most cherished books as a teen...still pissed at Byrne for writing and illustrating such a seminal work, only to destroy them as if he hated the concept. I never understood why there wasn't more of a buzz surrounding 'Flight... |

Additionally, the Avengers 2 Hulk has two fists...and the oh so 'fashion forward' - capri-pants. Regarding Hasbro vs Toybiz, I like them both and each run has its individual strengths and weaknesses. This most recent run for Hasbro has had me purchasing more complete waves than ever before. For the 2015 offerings, the only figures I will not buy are that Amazon Thor 3pk and the TRU Shield 3Pk. Everything else is a must have...I really hope Hasbro doesn't push back that Guardians of the Galaxy 5pk they projected. also Hulk Capris are gonna be in, mark my words! I KNOW!

@ChuckSass
I agree on Bendis...however, I'm pretty sure it will be the Abnett & Lanning space bikini Gamora...I believe they showed an illustration of that version when talking-up the 5pk. I have my Capris on pre-order...all styles come back around if you give them enough time. ...In other news, my Age of Ultron wave arrived today...THANOS. 'nuff said.

Just curious: Why are folks thinking it's going to be a magic-themed SDCC exclusive this year?
I'm gonna put my guess on: Avengers: Age of Ultron multipack with Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Vision. Maybe toss in Baron Von Strucker, as well. Watch the raaaaaage. |

Yup too much to hope for.

It's a shame that we're getting the new hot pants-sporting Magik instead of her classic look, but anything is better than nothing! I'm actually considering ordering a custom Polaris with the Scarlet Witch base, it's perfect for her. Don't get me started on villains. I've wanted Lady Mastermind, Shadow King BAF or Amahl Farouk, Sebastian Shaw and Selene figures for years. Imagine the amount of figures Hasbro would be giving us if it weren't for damn Fox. Thank Hasbro we've been given a Storm whose head isn't the size of a hazelnut. Last edited by VonPooten; 04-02-2015 at 04:46 AM.. |

I really like the new Storm with Mohawk... But I'm hoping beyond hope we get a first appearance Storm somewhere down the road! She is my most wanted LEGENDS figure!!

With Gamora, I prefer the 'space bikini, it represents my favorite run of GotG (abnett & lanning). That said, I'm not sure Hasbro will do that particular costume justice. While Hasbro was able to get away with a form fitting painted-on costume with Satana (that is generally how her costume looks), I'm not sure that the same technique will work with Gamora. That costume is trickier than one might think with boots and gloves that need sculpting, the placement of various skulls, and a hooded cape that could easily get botched (hood up? hood down? - potential nightmare). Hasbro implements some molded costume elements well, but that extra effort seems to be reserved for Cap ('Now' and all movie renditions) - Ironman - Thor - and some outliers like Black Cat/Ghost. Gamora's Bendis armor has grown on me and I'm thinking that making that version would ensure that they give her a respectable level of molded detail... |

Tell me about it! I know it's fantastic that Hasbro's bringing us some left-field figures who haven't been given the ML treatment (or possibly figure treatment altogether), but it's such a shame that the only X-figures we've been given are three Wolverine variants, two Cyclopses and a dodgy Emma Frost (she really needs to eat a sandwich).

The comment about Walgreens seems to be that the Daredevil ML will be a single figure like Agent Venom and that there will be a new Star Wars Black 6in figure offered again as well. If it is going to be a single figure it needs to be Armored Daredevil.

I paid a visit to a Disney Store ... first time I'd been in one since the last Tron movie was out in theaters ... and bought their new Marvel Select Thor exclusive.
They had 5 available in stock but 4 out of the 5 had crappy paint apps in the left eye area, making him look like he was almost blind in one eye. I also saw the new Marvel Select Hawkeye figure. I passed on it as it didn't look all that appealing to me.
