We have a huge milestone with the first MCU black lead. Most of the entire cast is black. That is awesome! I am all for representation of all people, and the fact is this movie SHOULD represent properly. But if the rumored list is true, we have Black Panther and a bunch of white people. It's not cool. It treads on disrespectful to the vision of the Black Panther line up.
You look at Mattel's line up for the ML compatible toys. SIx figures, five women. That movie was about female representation. Say what you want about the quality of the figures, but they brought it home with representation. I want Hasbro to do the same with the Black Panther wave. Translated from Hasbro-speak, this could literally mean anything. Gonna reign in my hopes a bit. I'd love to be blowed away, though. |

Should the remake of Claw be in a Panther wave or FF wave?

I agree completely. The rumored list for Black Panther is very depressing, and fits better as a Marvel's Illuminati wave. On a similar note, I'm also worried that Captain Marvel's wave is just going to be another episode of "Captain Marvel and her Amazing, Male Friends".
Translated from Hasbro-speak, this could literally mean anything. Gonna reign in my hopes a bit. I'd love to be blowed away, though. Yeah I've already wondered about the inevitable Captain Marvel line and the cast. I guess we won't know until we get more cast info but I could see it being just like you said, Captain Marvel, Mar-vel, Iron Man (because Iron Man!) MAYBE Moonstone, Wonder Man and Captain America (because Captain America!) I would blaurgh all over that wave. Second point yeah I know, that's they're job to be hyped and get us hyped about everything but I'm just hoping it's accurate. Watch it be something lame like...well there's really not much lame in X-world, but something we don't need now like another Cyclops. I think we're all good on Cyclops after this year, yes? @TBM, I absolutely think Klaw should be in the wave. I think given he is the comic nemesis I think having him is appropriate as long as they would adhere to the vision of the rest of the cast. And let's face it while Klaw is not the most stunning visually even if held to comic accuracy, the figure we got 4-5 years ago was pretty basic. Ideally I'd love to see Black Panther, Klaw, a Dora Milaje w/ two head sculpts, Killmonger, Kasper Cole, and Shuri, with Man Ape (comic or MCU is fine) as the BAF. I'm just hoping we get some of that. Sorry if I am getting a little worked up about the Black Panther wave. It's likely going to be my final non-X-men full wave purchase due to repetition of characters and personal finances changing in the next year. A figure here or there for other waves, but I really was hoping this wave's line up would be outstanding. Last edited by Captain Nash; 07-20-2017 at 07:14 PM.. |

Maybe they got upset that their obvious want of symbiotes couldn't even make it into the final four round and are still pouting about it. |

So far the only new Legends figure that I'm interested in is Domino. My problem with the Domino though is that they just gave her scaled down versions of the 12" Deadpool's guns and cast them in solid purple. Is she going into battle with super-soakers? The "classic" Deadpool is okay but the red plastic looks way too shiny and then the overall lack of paint and varied color. Maybe this is just a prototype done up for the show and the final release will be more matte with the red plastic. I'd also like to think that maybe he'll have more accessories revealed later. Cable is neat but I don't like how they did his energy eye effect, I would hope it can be removed. Black Widow looks great overall but it's honestly a character that I don't want to get if the only way to get her is with the motorcycle. It's only day 1 though so I'm holding out hope that maybe Mysterio will get teased still.

Okay, so I'm a little behind on the A-force situation. Is this team-pack going to also be released at retail or is it SDCC/TRU Website only???? As of posting, it's currently Sold Out.

I think you may have stumbled onto Hasbro's super, secret, world-colliding panel reveal!!! I really do hope they knock our socks off. This has been an amazing year of Legends figures. I'm really looking forward to the reveal and crossing my fingers, too. Last edited by redfox; 07-20-2017 at 09:00 PM.. |

You could vote for Angela on Marvel.com I thought? I remember voting for her.
The rumoured BP wave is completely terrible, but given how good the GotG waves were I have trouble believing Hasbro would regress so spectacularly for Black Panther.

What's the rumor list for the Black Panther wave?
En, I wouldn't be surprised if Cable has two heads, one with the eye shining and one without. I couldn't care less either way, but I expect he will. Not sure what the issue is with purple guns though. At least they fit with Domino's look compared to pink guns that came with Winter Soldier. Although, did Hasbro forget how guns are normally colored? Also, why no love for the bike with Black Widow? It's about time.

Alla the purple gun haters are just jealous. They wish they had the kind of swagger that Neena has - then they, too, could pull off having purple guns.
If you can't tell, I'm a little bit in love with them. They're the right kind of toyetic ridiculous.

I think the Black Widow bike set is a cool idea and I think it came out great overall but I have no personal interest in the bike so unless it's on sale the overall deal will probably be too much for me to pick up at retail.

Hasbro have confirmed the Black Widow figure is an all new sculpt in an interview with Pixel Dan. So, not a re-use of the Mockingbird figure.

Pretty sure it's Domino that's a repainted Mockingbird. So not taking the piping on Black Widow all the way down the torso was a purposeful style choice in a new sculpt? Even more unappealing now

I think that wave sounds awesome. Especially if we get a classic Namor, and perhaps a better, larger sculpted classic Iron Man armor. Siberian Tiger is probably the male White Tiger, repainted from the Walmart Black Panther body. Maybe the "Leopard" is Shuri? I'd be ok with that. Also, it was rumored that the Thing was the BAF, which would rule. Need to get the FF completed any way we can at this point.

Leopard aka Black Leapord was the name Black Panther went by for a while in the mid to late 70's. You are right about this wave being a total pass if it's real. I really hope not, because Hasbro killed it with their MCU figures, designs, and character choices this year. For this to be an actual wave would take all that momentum away.
