Outside of classic though, I'm definitely down for God Emperor Doom. I love that look!

Hey would anyone be interested in either of these two bases? http://magaimg.net/img/5xah.jpg http://magaimg.net/img/5xai.jpg I don’t really have a use for them at all. I never use the bases. So if anyone wants them Pm me.

The key takeaways are:

- Magneto, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver Amazon Exclusive 3-pack, presumably in their classic looks.

- Classic Mystique, Emma Frost (black costume) and possible Dani Moonstar Walgreens Exclusives

- Secret Empire Captain America and Arnim Zola

- Doctor Doom Walgreens Exclusive.....but the Invincible Iron-Man version -_-

- Shuri apart of the Avengers 4 wave. Also Ebony Maw and Corvus Glaive to round out the Black Order.

- Spider-Man Homecoming 2-pack, with Tech Suit Spidey wearing the school jacket and Michelle "MJ" (which is kind of an odd choice, I was hoping we'd get MCU Shocker). Having that female teen body mold would definitely be nice though if you wanted to have Gwen Stacy.

- Some tech suit 2-pack. Details are kinda vague honestly.

- MCU Loki is in a 2-pack with....somebody. I would say it's meant to be an Avengers 1 2-pack. My hunch is either a Hulk from the first Avengers movie (that they can later use for a comic book Hulk) or possibly an updated MCU Hawkeye.

- MCU Captain Marvel will be coming with multiple heads

- Classic Ms. Marvel with an alternate Moonstone head to round out the Dark Avengers (really hope they do an updated Iron Patriot and Daken)

- Super Skrull Walgreens Exclusive might still be out in December

Honestly if these are all true, these reveals are more exciting than SDCC...

If those are true they’re pretty great reveals! I see I need/want almost all of them haha. The Mcu Avengers Loki and the Avengers wave 4 interests me the most but Hasbro seems to have gone all in on MCU this year. Which is great for a Mcu collector like myself. Only downside is I’m gonna be broke haha

I'd follow doom! Especially if i got a doomified warmachine armor.

OG Classic Ms. Marvel w/ alt. Dark Ms. Marvel (Moonstone) head from the Dark Reign storyline. Really looking forward to this release with the Moonstone head.

Bo Ttef · 08-11-2018, 09:56 AM

tech 2 pack- Ghost MCU and Ghost comic (repack)?

So true.

Honestly my biggest wants are the Mystique, Emma and Moonstar. I swear if they do end up officially announcing Moonstar and pull her again, you all will hear in the news about some big green guy in middle Tennessee wrecking the city and shouting "Nash Smash!" She's been a top 10 want for years and getting teased once did not make me happy.

Also definitely big yes to Glaive and Maw.

The rest is okay, for me, though mostly passible. I will need to see the Magneto/SW/QS pack before saying yes for sure. For some reason not really interested in the Captain Marvel stuff. I hope they release a Ronan. I will buy one MCU Captain Marvel so I can have her in my collection. I'd rather a classic Moonstone. None classic Doom is a big pass.

I do think that like with the non-Classic Magneto in the Apocalypse wave, they are giving us non iconic versions of certain characters that can easily be reworked into a fair representation of the iconic version. I can see this happening with both Doom and Emma.

Finally, still no Firestar. And no Count Nefaria or Graviton despite the fact they should be easy to do with existing parts, just repainted, and are not that far off from one another. I'm noticing that on the various boards Count Nefaria at least is getting an upwards swings in the number of requests for him, so that's something.

I would love for them to complete a Dark X-Men.
Repaint Cpt Britain into Weapon Omega.
The new ML Magneto with New X-Men Angel wings and Gambit's Head to make the Mimic.
Darken has been done and now Mystique, and Emma Frost are coming soon.
The old Toy Biz Beast is still good, but they could make a new mold and for X-Man as well.

Bo Ttef · 08-11-2018, 11:25 AM

Looking at Monster Venom I could see Hasbro doing Beast in the same mold with a few minor changes (sculpted fur instead of veins)

redfox · 08-11-2018, 12:26 PM

The black Marvel NOW! Emma Frost rumor is kind of bittersweet.

It's a look that I was initially hesitant about when debuted in 2013, but really started to grow on me as the series progressed. It was an appropriate look for the shaken & dethroned queen after the events of AvsX. The need for a figure really hit though when Hasbro released the Racer X Cyclops back in 2014 and then again with Magik's 2015 SDCC release, but now it just feels a little too late. With 2017's Secret Empire bringing Emma back to her more regal White Queen persona, that current look is ultimately the style that I'd prefer to get now.

That's not to say that I won't pick this figure up, because I most definitely will. Just really hoping that with this look being a Walgreen's exclusive, maybe we'll see a White Queen version released through an X-Men wave or some other means. It's just a shame that Hasbro didn't strike when the iron was hot. Like most "modern" Marvel Legends, they get released just a little too late and by then the look is already obsolete from what's in the current comics.

Happy to have more news of the Dark Ms. Marvel. We're so close to completing the Dark Avengers now. We just need Marvel Boy and Bullseye (Any of the black suit Spideys would be a good stand-in for Mac Gargan Spider-Man).

I actually saw a convincing mockup of Beast on TheFwoosh where they tinted the Sasquatch BAF blue and superimposed the Marvel Universe Beast head over it, I figure if it's a digital sculpt they could just shrink it and make a new head. Voila, instant Beast!

Penguino · 08-11-2018, 01:41 PM

Seeing Doom I REALLY want a Punisher War Machine suit... Hell I want a new Punisher, the Walgreens/Vintage one doesn't do it for me. Epic Heroes is still the definite one for me. Kinda tempted to track the Thunderbolts one now, been hunting the normal one and might still eventually get it.

Hopefully Fan Expo shows us more of this stuff. I want a classic Strange!

Oh would anyone be able to show the bandana head on the Epic Heroes figure? I really wish the Walgreens head and the red bandana with stubble came together. I love the epic heroes head but alternates are always fun.

That Marvel NOW! Hawkeye they released in the Allfather wave should make for a solid stand-in for Dark Hawkeye, especially if you've got the unmasked Bullseye head that came with the recent Bullseye we got.

Costume wouldn't be 100% accurate, but probably close enough. I doubt we get a dedicated Dark Hawkeye from Hasbro, tbh.

Well with the revelation that Emma is going to be the black suit version I went ahead and paid 75 bucks for the Puck BAF series version. The hips suck but I really want an Emma on my shelf.

Tarooster · 08-11-2018, 05:00 PM

Got Psy and Jaime today to complete the X wave, have to say it might be favorite wave and BAF ever.

I'm VERY disappointed that Emma won't be in her White fur caped costume version. The black costume didn't stay around long enough to make any difference!
BRING ON THE TRADITIONAL WHITE QUEEN!

yes- that's the one.The head is held on with a piece of sticky-tac as the Gargan neck doesn't support the newer PorkGrind head.

Thanks!

That pig has a nice body.
