Fan Channel seems to be their term for online stores like EE, BBTS, and Amazon. At NYCC when they revealed the Zola set it was called Fan Channel exclusive as well.

I think the highlight for me is Boom Boom, she looks like she stepped right off the comic page.
Emma Frost is nice, but doesn't quite capture the character as well as I'd like. Also I know it's in-character and accurate but those heeled feet are awful and I'd rather have an Emma Frost figure than can stand up.
MCU Ghost, Luis, Shuri, Peggy Carter and MJ all look incredible. So much for not buying any more MCU figures. Ditto for Skurge and Hela.

Nightcrawler looks incredible too.

I want a classic Doom as much as the next person, but I really like Infamous Doom.

[Ultra Seven]

Infamous Doom is looking wonderful, except I don’t care about the character, and with all the stuff I do care about, I can’t afford him.

Agreed. ToyBiz generally bombed on all of their female figures. The Hasbro figures have all been light years ahead of them. The ToyBiz Sinister looks much more imposing than this version. I also like my ToyBiz Omega Red, Doc Ock, and comic Black Panther better than the Hasbro versions.

I’m ready to retire my ToyBiz Storm and Dr. Doom...what’s the hold-up Hasbro?

I agree with ya on sinister...though its mainly just that stupid smiley head. Im thinking take the tb head and put it on this new version.

No word on BAFs today though

[Captain Nash]

Well first (unconfirmed) disappointment from today. Someone from fwoosh mentioned someone from Instagram (hence the unconfirmed since it's third/fourth party) said that Cannonball does NOT come with regular legs.

That's probably true, but that's really dumb. I'll still get the figure but I'll say it again, that's really dumb. not all of our figures need to be in dynamic action poses all the time.

I hope its not true. I seriously want an xforce jim lee cannonball and i sure as hell aint gonna buy a half fig only to have to customize him because hasbro is to chinsy to include a set of legs. They shoulda had it where the fig can slide in and out of the blast effect rather than what they did.

[MeLikeJinx]

Yah, Cannoball being basically only half a fig is so dumb... they did the same thing with Hydroman for MU. Retro Dazzler looks great though, so does Boom Boom and I hope that Nightcrawler is the double packed fig for that X-Force wave because he is gonna go quick.

Still kinda mad I will get stuck with two Juggernauts after getting that Colossus two pack. Gonna pass on the Magneto 3 pack since it looks like the same shrimpy Magneto from the TRU wave. Emma Frost is a pass, don't really care about what costume she has, but it should be white IMO.

[Veronica Mars]

Not going to get discouraged about cannonball until we hear something from Hasbro on the matter

[Bo Ttef]

LoL at the Cannonball rumor.

Pulse is pissing me off. I'm trying to preorder the X-Men wave but it keeps giving me error messages no matter what card I input. It keeps telling me my card is invalid. I had no issue with it yesterday when I preordered Prof X.

Anyway, my mind is still blown away with all of the X-Men stuff revealed today. It's like they decided to hold back on two years worth of stuff just to cram it all at us at one time.

There is one thing I did not realize until a little while ago. The X-Factor Cyclops does not include a normal head. He only comes with heads that has beam energy come off of it, which kind of sucks.

Anyway, as I said earlier, the highlights for me are Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Mr Sinister. It's so awesome that after this year I will have my top five X-Men villains in my collection. Not to mention that my favorite era of the team only needs two members left.

[Veronica Mars]

The should do a Retooled or completely new She Hulk in the riders line, she can come with the flying green '67 dodge convertible

[hasbroherofan]

Noticed Skurge has a new gun. Hopefully it sees some reuse.

TRU Magneto uses the old Face Off Punisher body mold. The new one uses the same body as the recent one from the Apocalypse BAF wave. They might share the same cape but that's it.

[MeLikeJinx]

^ Ooo... that's good to know... thanx.

[Spyne98]

That Cannonball rumor is killing me. Might have to hold on to my old one after all. I would hope Hasbro would know that no legs is a terrible idea.

[Tarooster]

Had to pre order the X 3 pack, all 3 figures look superb. So much great stuff coming out again, the only ones I wasn't really impressed by were the Spidey stuff.

[Archangel]

So swivel waists over crunch now?

[SymbiSpidey]

If the rumor is true, the Cannonball thing is a pretty stupid decision on Hasbro's part. They did this shit with the Sandman BAF by not including a regular set of arms for him so he could be posed in a vanilla stance.


Don't get me wrong, Cannonball looks great and I'm still gonna have him posed on my shelf with my other X-Force characters, but it's such a laughably silly oversight that I want to believe Hasbro wouldn't do that.

I'm surprised that people aren't digging the Spider-Man stuff so much. As someone who hated the Kingpin BAF wave so much that it almost turned me completely off of Legends (at least on the Spider-Man side of things), I'm sold on nearly the entire Spider-Man wave they've shown to us so far. The MCU Spider-Man stuff was expected and I really dig the Noir suit, so I'm happy with that. The red and black Spidey looks to be an improvement proportion-wise over the original tech suit so that's cool with me too. I'm beyond happy to get Scorpion and Hydro Man, and Julia Carpenter Spider Woman is a nice addition as well. The only real dud for me in that wave (at least of what they've shown) is Doppleganger, and that's only because of that horrible buck they chose to put him on, otherwise I still want the character.
