Hopefully when they roll out a new Storm figure it's her Giant Size #1 costume. The Jim Lee era Storm is a super easy pass

I would love a Jim Lee Storm but done right. The blue shading on the white is a must. An angry face is a must. Some accessories such as lightning effects is a must. We need all that and not the usual mediocrity such as the optic blast-less cyclops.
But this is Hasbro. I expect a cheap all white, stoic faced repaint with the bare minimum with nothing to distinguish it from a figure like Sharon Carter. |

I think it has to do with the paint and maybe because the ToyBiz one was better in most ways. Sasquatch look pretty good. THat deadpool wave looks killer. |

Kinda thinking he might've meant Grizzly from Six Pack, not the bear-themed villain.

so I bought the digital Revenge Of The Green Goblin trade this week and was introduced to a new (to me) obscure (to me) Spider-Man villain I'd buy: The Squid! He looks kooky but fun.

The Squid! I love his design. So toyetic.
Man, why can't we get a set of the Spider-Man Revenge Squad/Legion of Losers with some extra obscure Spidey villains? Give me Spot, the Kangaroo, the Gibbon, and the Grizzly, with the Squid and White Rabbit.

I'd buy the squid just cause of his name.

I can appreciate that, I dig the overwhelming majority of my TB figs - Walter, especially so. The old Sasquatch has a plethora of bells and whistles. The hands are really cool, despite lacking a fist; the high level of detail extends all the way down to the tips of the fingers and toes with each digit getting sculpted nails. The hair and texture of his coat, were also painstakingly designed. The only drawback being that the TB version makes for a very nice Sasquatch if he were just a sort of pedestrian 'Sasquatch.' Sasquatch is appropriately coined after his namesake, but make no mistake, he has the super-physique of a super heroic version of a 'Sasquatch.' The TB version is a little too lanky, this new one obviously improves on that and makes him as heavily built and burly as we are accustomed to seeing him. The ironic thing about your comment on the modern (Hasbro) vs old (Toy Biz) articulation is that I believe the old version may be more articulated (extra shoulder joints, double jointed knees/elbows, and finger articulation) than the new version.

I meant to comment about Storm again. Ideally for me we get a Giant Sized X-Men set with FA/early Claremont Storm in it - well first costume, her FA is naked! - and the wave will have White outfit Jim Lee Storm. best of both worlds. I think it's fairly inarguable those two outfits make up the vast majority of versions of Storm we want, hard to say which is more. I think if we got them both we would mostly be set for Storm figures. For a time anyhow.

Id love to see a punker storm. As much as white storm would be cool id prefer it to be more silver since white plastic discolors bad!

Not to mention that the articulation is now integrated in a more aesthetically pleasing way. I'll accept a little poseability loss in exchange for a better looking toy, if the basics are still there.

Yeah but the thing with looking at 1 $20 figure vs. a BAF is the monetary aspect. It largely varies from person to person and their interest in the wave. I do think the Hasbro Sassy is superior but not superior enough to spend an extra $60-$100 on (as I only want two figures from the wave.) If it were a carded figure I'd have no hesitation to buy it, same as if i wanted all but one or two figures of the wave.
I kind of hit the same point with the Netflix wave, but as my Toybiz Man-Thing had broke on me, I kind of felt I needed to upgrade. Even if the upgrade was only slight. |

I wouldn't be surprised if the parts pop up on the cheap online - Walt isn't exactly a known face to a lot of people, even if he's iconically Alpha Flight.
I'm now wondering though if we'll get some kind of white repaint down the line, from the whole Snowbird-Sasquatch era (and doubling as an Exiles Sasquatch). Hmmm... Alternately, a retool into Wendigo would be pretty sweet.

I would be ok with a reissue of Wendigo from the Hulk wave, just with updated hips
