Funny the weakest wave has the most anticipated Baf in Kingpin lol. Gambit is my top want easily

Hmmm. Any idea then?

Will Hercules be part of the Avengers 4 wave?

Agree. No real interest in any of the figures though I'll probably end up getting Red Goblin. Still, there will be another 2-3 figures to come. If nothing else I'll get Kingpin through loose BAF.

Blink is the only character in my top 30 they've shown. but...I'm just talking about never done before characters at all. Overall some great redos but for brand new characters I'm not all that excited.

And looking again at the hoverchair...that's definitely a different outfit than the single figure we saw. Looks like Xavier is going to be the wave after all.

Oooo Beast makes perfect sense. I hope you’re right. I don’t know if it would be sentinel since ones already packed with that Old Man Logan Set. Strong guy or Beast. Would probably be one of them two I’m hoping for the latter.

And the aim two pack and archangel are gamestop only? Christ its like hasbro is purposely giving these to scalpers cause gamestop is so great at stocking plentifully.

Starlord67 · 07-21-2018, 05:10 PM

Gambit looks AWESOME! Can't wait!

hasbroherofan · 07-21-2018, 05:11 PM

They implied last year Hasbro was cutting down on realistic guns due to unspecified recent events...which I'm guessing is the spate of school shootings/mass murders in the U.S. the last few years. Presumably that's why they've never given Falcon his two machine guns and why the recent Deadpool and Domino figures came with those stupid NERF guns instead.

I guess characters like Punisher get a pass.

jwyss234 · 07-21-2018, 05:13 PM

Preorder for Archangel is up at EE.

Captain Nash · 07-21-2018, 05:13 PM

....and in all the underwhelmingness I just realized.

NO FIRESTAR.

WTF Hasbro.

Also no Doom. Double WTF.

SymbiSpidey · 07-21-2018, 05:13 PM

It looks like Archangel will have FOUR interchangeable heads. One normal, unmasked head. One sinister looking unmasked head (reuse from Adam Warlock I'm pretty sure). One Death mask. And the same head we saw from the original release. On top of metallic wings and the Apocalypse claw.

jwyss234 · 07-21-2018, 05:15 PM

EE Preorder for the AIM 2 pack.

Well if they arent gonna give gun weilding charactrs proper gear they shouldnt make em cause those lame ass nerf things really rooster up an otherwise great fig. And its not like theres a lotta reliable places to get gun for our figs.

At least her has pants, thank God, instead of that snm harness and and teal nuthuggers.

Trivial Psychic · 07-21-2018, 05:21 PM

I'm glad because it will put a dent in scalper's get rich quick dreams, but man...that Archangel looks like ass. Really glad I still have my RR one...

Hopefully that Apocalypse claw won't be too hard to come buy on the secondary market...I wish they would have done his weird drill/laser arm from his classic X-Men Toybiz figure so he could be more of a throwback to the line.

DarthKamen · 07-21-2018, 05:26 PM

Wow.

The only thing I want is that AIM pack. Yay for saving money!

Really? I think it looks like a vast improvement tbh.

SymbiSpidey · 07-21-2018, 05:33 PM

Apparently, they showed a Kree Soldier in the Legends display after the panel.

jwyss234 · 07-21-2018, 05:33 PM

Marvelousnews is showing that there is a Krree solider in the ML display at SDCC

hasbroherofan · 07-21-2018, 05:36 PM

Yeah I actually kinda like the new Archangel.

I don't like the colors (they are really dull,) and the vac metal/chrome wings kill it for me. How long will those last until they start to varnish and flake off? I prefer the darker metallics on the older figure.

Just did a random search on ebay...laughing at how many SDCC Magik figures that have been thrown up there in the past two hours by people desperate to get rid of her, knowing that their window of opportunity to sell has finally closed thanks to the Walgreens exclusive...

DarthKamen · 07-21-2018, 05:37 PM

It's odd.

I was immensely disappointed by the Star Wars reveals having nothing I really wanted...yet I'm somewhat happy by the same thing with Legends. Even the AIM pack I want primarily for the Scourge and I might just buy the normal one off Amazon.

Not just any Kree Soldier! Genis-Vell!

DarthKamen · 07-21-2018, 05:40 PM

Ok that I'll need.

Really? I always thought the original Archangel's colors were too dark and muted. The navy and magenta kind of blend in together and don't really stand out. I'm not sure about the metallic wings, but I haven't seen too many people have issues with the ones that came with the SDCC version.

But to each his own. Fortunately, I don't have to choose between the two

SymbiSpidey · 07-21-2018, 05:47 PM

Genis-Vell looks super dope. Undoubtedly part of the Captain Marvel wave.
