I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, and I didn't get a chance to watch the reveal, so I'm not sure if anyone saw them, but BBTS just put the new Arnim Zola and Hydra Cap for pre-order.

Pre-ordered. I have Zola already, and I dig this update, and I really like how Hydra Cap came out. I hope they have an alternate head sculpt with him.

So if I'm not mistaken, the next X-wave is:

Weapon X
Skullbuster
Gambit
Jubilee
Forge
Blink
Guardian???

BAF: Caliban


That's a damn strong wave.

I guess it depends on what you’re wanting. There’s a few nice figures for sure, but personally I feel like it’s the weakest x-wave yet. Any of JL Storm, Beast, Nightcrawier, deathstrike, or Sinister could’ve changed that for me anyways. Of course YMMV

ebony maw means black mouth

[Veronica Mars]

Wasn't there supposed to be a vintage card X-Men wave? Could Jubilee be part of that?

I can't say I totally disagree. I think if you were to replace, say, Skullbuster with any one of the characters you listed the wave would be a clear home run.

And I think Skullbuster looks like a cool figure don't get me wrong but I'm not sure anybody was really asking for him over the characters you mentioned.

Regardless I'm excited for every character there in some capacity, including the BAF.

Kinda beyond pissed that I'll need two Kingpins so I can have Shadow King. Maybe I'll pass on SK. Bummer.

That'd make sense, though I get the impression that the vintage wave is usually just repaints or re-releases as opposed to figures with newly sculpted parts.

dont worry, shadow king will always be in the shadows when you need him...

[Tomax]

ebony maw should've had more screen time.......

[hasbroherofan]

Just a thought, but I could see the Forge body being reused for Banshee.

[MeLikeJinx]

So I guess we are getting a Caliban BAF instead of Strong Guy? I guess no more 90's X-factor figs to join Multiple Man now.

Just wait for when they inevitably re-release Kingpin in a different suit color, and then plop the Shadow King head on.

They’re going to start in on morlocks now and never complete the team. Speaking of starting new teams how about the Hellfire Club Hasbro!


Add me and most everyone in the “pissed I’m gonna have to buy two cases of a mostly lame spider man wave to get two BAF”. However the end result is good and fodder.

Like we’d ever get a proper hellfire club white queen.

I was gonna say. Jubilee, Blink, and Caliban, three of my longtime wish-list figures? Hell. Yes.

And including an alternate Shadow King head for Kingpin with the Riders Xavier? Damn, Hasbro, when you're good, you're REAL good.

Those and Gambit are the strong points. But I’ve beat that horse to death already a month ago.

I’m really hoping there’s a separate Wolverine wave. Someone over at Fwoosh posited that Jubilee could even be in that instead of the x-men wave. Imagine:

X-men BAF Caliban
Gambit
Blink
Skullbuster
Forge
Three others: JL Storm? A higher profile villain and another high profile x-man

Wolverine BAF Wendigo

Guardian
Weapon x
Jubilee
Let’s also say another Wolverine
Silver samurai
Another female: Deathstrike

I know I’m just pissing in the wind here but that would be astounding!

[Dr Kain]

I'm not sure if I'm seeing everyone revealed, but let's see:

Jubliee - Seriously, before First Appearance Storm and Nightcrawler? UGH!! Cool I guess though. I can have some fire works parties in my comics now.

Forge - Cool, he can go well with mohawk Storm. Though, I could have sworn I read that Hasbro said they were going to retire that Bucky Cap mold.

A Shadow King head to put on Kingpin's body? That's lame. No, not the head, but because I won't be able to have a Shadow King as I'm not buying 2 sets of a garbage Spider-Man wave just for a second Kingpin body.

Caliban is the BAF? Would have rathered seen some other dude, but it seems like this entire wave is being geared towards the 90s. Hopefully that means we'll have a 70s wave soon. Honestly though, if it wasn't for the fact that I already know I'm going to buy the entire wave, I wouldn't care if I got him. Fortunately, he does look like a cool figure.

No idea what is up with the Hydra Agent that must have used some Enzyte.

Arnin Lola is getting reissued? Sweet! Aw crap, but I have to buy a stupid Captain America with him? How much is this pack going to cost?

Beta Rey Bill - I have no opinion. I mean he's fine, but nothing I will need to get.

Kraven looks like an improvement over the previous figure, but I'll wait for this one to go on clearance since I couldn't care less about the maskless Symbiote Spidey repaint.

Overall, not bad reveals.

Really? Because it looks quite weak to me. I couldn't care less about Weapon X, Skullbuster, Blink, or Jubilee. There's no 70s characters in that wave outside of Vindicator.

[SymbiSpidey]

I would like to see more brotherhood characters, especially if they're doing that Magneto/Quicksilver/Scarlet Witch 3-pack, and the Walgreens Exclusive Mystique.
