Dwight was asked but Hand Ninjas. He didn't say they were coming but he kinda looked like he was trying to hold back his excitement.
They've talked about adding Lockjaw to the Ultimate Riders line and feel like it's a possibility.
The Vintage line won't be limited to the characters that appeared in the original line. More of a celebration of classic characters and a chance to update some older figures with better paint apps.
They have discussed doing vintage style waves for the original X-Men and Spiderman Animated Series lines from ToyBiz. Nothing to announce from those.
If/When the Disney Fox deal goes through, Dwight really wants to get some Hugh Jackman Wolverines released.

The Hand is definitely coming....just wait. Probably single card first, then eventually 2 packs. Look for eventual color variations as exclusives.

I see people paying prices to support junk from an unnamed toy website....for 50 dollars. Save your money for the Hand. It will be worth it. It looks like they are very excited for the Hand, and might have put a lot of thought into them just judging from the vids.

Dwight face lit up and nods at approval giving way to his buddy. Both in agreement, but they don't want to take the attention away from the Aim 2 pack. Good interview and a lot of details here.

I do think Hasbro NEEDS to include cool weapons with the vintage wave, like gimmicks. Some TOyBiz like action features/accessories would be enticing along with BRIGHT colors.

warmachine6 · 07-24-2018, 05:02 AM

so my must haves are the following

archangel (pre-ordered already) looks much better than hit monkey wave version with the correct colour scheme.

new and improved Magik, thank you hasbro, I can avoid being ripped off.

Vision, Long over due , wish he came with open hands like spider-man does but hey ho.

Gambit, just like vision hope he comes with more accessories

Kingpin BAF, i have wanted a new one similar to his classic look, though the wave figure wise is very weak for me and has no appeal.

Prof.X with his hover chair.

Maybes:
Silver Sable, Hercules , blink and skullbuster

Cant wait to see what the new x-men BAF would be.

Shame we didnt get any news on the rumoured super-skull maybe pushed back for captain marvel film ?

What's so wrong with the Articulated Icons line? I've heard nothing but good things, even if they cost a bit.

Captain Nash · 07-24-2018, 07:18 AM

I forgot to list my must haves (I kind of need to get a handle on this myself so I know how much I'm spending next year.)

Unless the BAF is something I just have no interest in at all, I will get the entire X-wave. that's pretty much a yearly guarantee. Even if I don't like a figure here or there it's a part of a whole.

Vintage series Wasp and possibly Ant-Man. Considering Hawkeye as well but not sure.

May or may not get the 3 Pack with Magneto (if that's how it comes). Its not perfect and I understand why others may want an update but I'm fine with the classic Magneto I have. Of course if he's in the wave he's a done deal for me.

Spider-Man wave: This is such a pain for me. I desperately want Kingpin but I have no interest in 3/4 figures shown. I do want Silver Sable. It will largely depend on what the rest of the wave looks like, to whether I get the wave or just try to get a loose BAF from Dorkside.

Maybe Hercules. The one we have now is goofy looking but he's also sort of okay so I'm not sure.

Already preordered Archangel bc chrome wings is a win.

Professor X rider: By all that's holy in toy collecting, there's no way I'm missing this.

Black Panther wave 2: Probably will get unless money gets really tight. I really like Ayo and T'Chaka, but could live without the rest of the singles. That Man-Ape though is awesome.

Black Arbor · 07-24-2018, 07:43 AM

Definitely feels like an Arnim Zola tease to me...

The hand ninjas would sell with the quickness. I know if they had released them sooner alot of people would be buying.

Hell i know i'd buy at least 4 to 6 of them.

Hmm... wonder if we're gonna get a new Zola, wonder if it will be a new sculpt, or a reissue/retool of the BAF.

Trivial Psychic · 07-24-2018, 09:27 AM

The Venom wave is starting to make its way into Walgreens. Be on the lookout.

Captain Nash · 07-24-2018, 09:33 AM

I know it's not ML, but I just ordered the MS Beast. Given the figure, I think his proportions will be fine. I know though, he'll end up being 3 inches (real life ratio) short from his actual comic defined height, but whatever. He'll fit until Hasbro does him. Now I just need a new Nightcrawler and Sinister to round out the core X-Men and their adversaries after what's been hinted at already for next year.

Exodus · 07-24-2018, 09:54 AM

So many cool new X-Men figures to look forward too! Glad the DOFP is an amazon exclusive too.

It is Target. They announced it at the con as such. Not sure where this Amazon rumor came from. Seems to have just been a guess from the start, and people took that grain of salt and ran with it. Look where we are now lol.

Amazon

GameStop & Entertainment Earth
AIM Soldier - 2-Pack
Archangel - Extra Heads and Apocalypse - New Claw

Target
Miles and Spider-Gwen

Walgreens
Magic

Wal-Mart

From Erland, so the sentinel/wolverine days of future past is actually Target exclusive instead? Hmm...hopefully not to hard to get then.

Dr Kain · 07-24-2018, 11:49 AM

Yeah, everything I saw said the DoFP set is an Amazon exclusive.

They are good figures that can be used across multiple properties. I have 4 each of the red and black ninja's for Hand or GI Joe ninja's, black Ninja's for League of Shadows, 3 of the modern ninja(Solitaire) with one as Snake Eyes and a white ninja for Storm Shadow, and a Shinobi ninja.

GAH, that looks fantastic! How do you like it??? I'm thinking about picking up the non-TMNT version when it comes out.

it's really nice. I didn't actually want it- but they were sold out of the Turtles 4pk so I had to go the dio route. I'm glad I did. i make a lot of my own dios with insulation foam but this is a nice solid piece that will work across a lot of styles...

Archangel · 07-24-2018, 03:29 PM

Picked up an old Scorpion figure minus the stinger. I’m going to find something nefarious looking to spice him up.

Glad you like it! Make sure to sneak in some more shots w/ Legends every now and then, so I can live vicariously through your pics...

Tarooster · 07-24-2018, 03:48 PM

Got my Carnage, Venom, and Wolverine Rider in from HTS today. They are starting become one of my go to places to order from, these things shipped yesterday and were here today.

jwyss234 · 07-24-2018, 04:13 PM

Picked up the Marvel Studios Ant Man and Yellowjacket 2 pack today at Gamestop. I’m too lazy to go back and look but thank you to whoever posted that Gamestop was having a sale.

mdstimcell · 07-24-2018, 06:20 PM

With all the chatter of an X-Men Vintage Legends line I thought I would do a quick mock-up of what that might look like.
Oh! and a simple head swap with the new Kingpin BAF you could have the Shadow king!
