Who does everyone think will be the double packed figures in these three waves? The logical choice for the Spider-Man wave would be Chameleon, but I'm guessing they'll go with the Scarlet Spider-Man since he is, at least in name, the anchor character.
The other two are harder to guess. I'd say Marvel Now Iron Man for the Avengers wave, but then they've already got two armored figures. Maybe they'll end up going with Vision due to the exposure the character has gotten recently. My money is on Iron Man though. The Ant-Man wave will have two double-packed figures (or, God forbid, three movie Ant-Man figures). Of course, one will be movie Ant-Man. I would guess the other will be comic Giant Man. Anyone have any guesses to the contrary? |

Of the 3 ML lines left this year I am sure I am the only person who wants all the Villains most. #1 is Bulldozer to complete the Wrecking Crew, then 3 Chameleon (need one for each JJJ and Hammerhead heads) Blizzard, Tiger Shark and Grim Reaper. I will also say Kraven because he is a good upgrade from the Toy biz one.
I love bad guys and someday hope they get a classic or modern Whiplash made and also Dreadknight. Heroes always come second for me. Villains and anti heroes come first. At this point my wish list is mostly: Polaris (duh). WIll always be my #1 until if ever made. Lots of Female Villains Lots Of Male Villains Lots of Female Heroes then a few male heroes. |

I'm afraid I just missed the 90's craze! I got into comics during Grant Morrison's New X-Men run, and then by the time of Whedon and Cassaday's Astonishing X-Men was when I became a super-fan. Hence why I'm more into modern figures!
On saying that, I would love a Giant X-Men box set with first appearance Storm, Thunderbird, Sunfire and a Nightcrawler redo (or first appearance Kitty Pryde) to build up the classic team. That would be tremendous. |

Yeah there is an All-New ML box set but unfortunately it's the original five, not the rebooted Len Wein/Dave Cockrum lot. It's a mighty shame that we've yet to receive first appearance Storm and Sunfire figures. Thunderbird less so, but for the collection's sake he's a must.

Actually what I was thinking of? was something made in the 1990s lol. The first link I pulled up was for a MU thing. But the 1990's thing included FA storm, NIghtcrawler, Sunfire, Banshee, Thunderbird and Collossus. But of course, it was 1990's production....so.....

Question, how much do some of the older figures go for these days? I'd like to get Terrax and maybe a few others like that Miles Spider-Man, Archangel, Mystique, Red Skull, Baron Zemo, Blade, Punisher, the Red She Hulk, and Rogue?

Personally I'm not a fan of the costume in the Wolverine wave, and the figure is too skinny for a Rogue. I'd love to see either her Marvel Now/Uncanny Avengers look or a 90's redo on the new, bulkier body.
I would love Hasbro to redo some of the lackluster 90's X-Men figures we received (Psylocke anyone?), but if we had to choose, I'd go with the modern looks every time. Not the biggest Jim Lee fan, and the writing was god-awful in the 90's (Lobdell had his moments).

Have to disagree with you there, as my favourite Rogue was certainly the original/Claremont days, and again in Carey's X-Men Legacy, which has done more for her character than, well, anything.
Although I adamantly agree with you that these boob windows and front zippers are ridiculous, which is why my favourite's the Cassaday Paul Smith-inspired look, especially when drawn by Olivier Coipel. Would love to see that in figure form! |

I want more Rogue's. I think it's SHAMEFUL that the only Rogue we have is from that box set. She is arguably either the second or third most important X-Woman (depending on which decade you're looking at) and it's just sad.
They need to make up for this and give us a Rogue wave. My favored choices would be: 1. Classic Bomber jacket look (this is truly my favorite) 2. But I also really like the look from the mid-00's during Carey's run, wtih the hood and cape. 3. First appearance Rogue, with the short manly hair. 4. The unreleased Boob Rogue. 5. The X-treme X-Men Rogue. Complete with knockoff Cyclops glasses. 6. The late 80's Rogue, nt one of my favorite looks but I'm running out of looks. 7. Bonus Polaris figure from a repainted Rouge. Because if they ever do that's the route they're going to go. Make it happen, Hasbro! Last edited by Captain Nash; 05-07-2015 at 07:44 AM.. |

Nash, there's also an X-Treme X-Men Rouge but I think it's hard to find these days. I'm glad I was able to get one. It's not the best, but it's better than the box set one.

Do some "sold item" ebay searches for these figures. You'll be able to see what they go for on average on the secondary market.

Right, I don't even count that one since it's so hard to find and not an official ML set. But you are correct. It can be found from time to time. One of these days I'll get that figure.....

The X-Treme Rogue is a great figure, although it stands out in the crowd due to there being no other figures from that era aside from Wolverine and Xorn. I've always thought it was an odd choice for Toybiz to make, as X-Treme X-Men isn't exactly a fan-favourite series.

He was later recolored into a different Gambit figure too. But with so few, you're right. They stick out. |

My memories betrayed me. I thought the ML boxed set Rogue wasn't that bad but I found her the other night to display her and she's a horrible figure. All sorts of weird joints and an ugly face sculpt. She's also a loose jointed mess now.
We definitely need some more Rogue love in ML. I'd love a Jim Lee Rogue or any look before then. I would like to say that I'd buy any Rogue but I look at figures like that X-treme X-men Rogue and think that's not Rogue to me. |

The face really is horrible but given it's that or the HTF X-Treme X-Men Rouge, or nothing...I'll take man-faced Rogue any day.
