I agree. Hasbro played it too safe and missed potential revenue.

Did you mean the White Tiger affiliated with Panther, or Hector?

Either would be cool, but I think they'd go for the one affiliated with Panther for a Black Panther wave.

EDIT: What would be dope is if they used Panther's membership in the Ultimates as a way to include Blue Marvel, but I think he'll make an appearance in Captain Marvel's wave.

@Symbi

Yeah, Panther Tiger makes sense...so does Doom.

Believe it or not, I want the Walmart comic vibranium version in plain black with a T'Challa comic head.

EDIT: lol I'd love to get a Blue Marvel through ongoing Panther waves. And an 80's Monica with the perm-fro!

I wouldn't be mad at that, though I'd love a black and gold Black Panther on that body. That would be super clean.


Doom seems likely for this wave, my only fear is that they cheap out and give us Iron-Doom because they can reuse the Invincible Iron-Man buck, and you know Hasbro would do something like that....lol. Hasbro has a knack for giving us iconic villains, but not in their classic looks.

Haha! They would do that rather than simply doing Doom justice… Any new Doom does need a larger build, maybe even larger than the new Iron Man.

The gold and black Panther would be pretty nice on the Walmart Vibranium mold….but Hasbro’s more likely to use the older version. It seems like people like that one more.

Yeah....I feel like if they DID decide to do a classic Doom, maybe they could reuse parts from that Taskmaster from the Red Onslaught wave.


I always thought the Spidey 2099 buck would be perfect for BP because of the butterfly joint, but BP would probably need to have a slightly larger build than that.

I thought the same thing the moment I got that Udon Taskmaster, but I now feel like Doom does need to be bigger. Legs, shoulders, torso, everything needs a revamp.

I agree about the butterfly joint totally. The Sunfire mold maybe, but Surfer is thankfully hosting that. They have been cobbling a lot of new molds, lately, maybe will get a new mid size with butterfly joints for characters like Panther and Daredevil.

Seriously, can we get Blue Marvel already? It feels like it's time.
Question, though. Are the cape and tights a little dated, or can they make it work? Because I kinda like the more recent jacket look.

Everyone, including Hasbro, was likely caught off-guard by how huge the movie ended up being.

This is a surprise though. I don't believe it can happen due to the current restrictions, but first appearance or 2005-era Storm would be amazing here (the costumes are very similar).

Maybe they’re worried they’re overwhelming collectors so they throw in some variants to entice us and distract from fatigue?

I do like variants though, I think it spices the hunt up a bit.

I know WTF? It’s sort of weird at this point. I haven’t met anyone that isn’t at least interested in Blue Marvel. He definitely was better received than the other superman-clone-retcon: Sentry (who I also like, albeit more for the void thing he ultimately becomes).

I want the classic, but I also like his crazy Venture Bro “speed-suit.” Be nice to get both, but that’s asking too much. I’d be happy with either/any at all…

I’d rather have this one of the two.

Which one is the more sought after one? Or most valuable one?

I'm really glad I decided to get back into this hobby. It's providing me with editing practice, fun, and a deep appreciation for these articulated pieces o' plastic!

And I'd take any colored hair Psylocke at this point... hope Gamestop comes through for this month.

No way that is her real value (meaning what most would pay for her)... that was wave 1 of a movie wave that was everywhere and got multiple restocks. Everyone that wanted a Hela probably already has her. I only bought Ares from that wave... such a cool looking figure.

I'd say the Thunderbolts version was more sought after simply because it added extra deco for better team affiliation, but as for value...it's flippin' Shocker for crying out loud... I can still find him on any given day at Walgreens depending what side of town I'm on...lol

[Phantomcrow]

Well just in case anyone was wondering. Those shippers with the Warlock Legends in them at Wal-Marts have 2 full cases in them when they get to the store. So 2 Cyclops and 2 Colossus in each shipper.( also 2 cases of the Thanos BAF Avengers line, but no one cares) IF you get there and they are gone, someone beat you to them. I just can't believe it is an Ant Man display and NO Ant Man legends are in it???? Why would you not put Avengers Infinity series 2 in there??? That would have been 4 Ant Man and 4 Wasp in the display!!

Haha! Yup, I had time during the day to take a real pic outside. I'm hoping to do quite a bit more of that when the new Wolvie and Sabretooth get here.

Have fun!

I could see the second Black Panther wave being:


Movie Shuri

Movie M'Baku
Comic-based Black Panther (I'd be down for his costume from the Christopher Priest run)
T'Chaka's Black Panther suit perhaps? Or Killmonger in the Vegeta-inspired military suit he wore prior to becoming Black Panther?
Doctor Doom? White Tiger? Not sure.

It'd be nice if the BAF was a comic-based M'Baku. Alternatively, it'd be awesome if they threw in Storm somewhere in this wave. Maybe it'd be her X-Men vs Avengers costume to make it fit the Black Panther theme better, which would be close to her First Appearance look, but I'd still prefer her Jim Lee costume above all else.

This is an interesting turn of events. To say I'm excited is an understatement indeed. I would like to see MCU versions of King T'Chaka, Princess Shuri, Klaue, Ayo(with alternate heads), and Great Gorilla M'Baku.

[lordbest]

It will be a huge disappointment if Shuri and M'Baku aren't included given how very popular they are.

[Captain Nash]

A second Black Panther wave would be awesome!

I understand that Hasbro played it safe with wave 1, as boring as it was, because not even Marvel/Disney much less Hasbro were aware of how successful it would be. They figured they would need to pad out the single dedicated wave to get interest. And of course, once it was obvious what a huge hit it was, it takes times to get figures made. So if it's surprising that a black panther wave would come end of this year/early next year, I'm not so surprised, even though I wasn't expecting it. It's not like Hasbro could mold, sculpt, market and distribute a wave within a month or two.

Who I'm thinking could be in the wave:

Some form of Black Panther - not sure what though but obviously we'll get something. likely from MCU.

MCU KIllmonger in civvies/tribal mask - probably very much close to the 2 pack but with extra head(s). Although I would very much love a comic based Killmonger.

MCU Shuri.

MCU Klaue.

MCU/Comic generic Dora Milaje, with several alternate heads, though not Okoye as that would need a different color scheme.

Doom: Sole comic character (unless D.M. is comic based).

If there's a 7th figure, MCU W'kabi or Zuri one, or possibly one of the two remaining Children of Thanos. I know most say Maw and he definitely had more presence in IW, but dammit if I don't want Glaive first. It's also possible the Klaue slot could go to one of these characters.

BAF: M'Baku. MCU though I'd personally prefer a comic based one, but I can see the reasons not to do so. I can't see though especially with the Infinity War outcome we wouldn't get him at some point.

[kylactus]

I want a T’Chaka panther, I’ll bet they do a bunch of repacks if the wave was rushed.
Agent bilbo from the 2 pack, maybe eather female BP or claw from the comic two pack. Or they’re real jerks, they’ll repack the new two pack Bucky minus an arm.
