We're a bit slow here sometimes LOL. I think we should concentrate on what's important. we're getting White outfit Jim Lee Storm, and Hasbro would be foolish to NOT use this opportunity to put the black outfitted version in the next X-wave, given that the appropriate color choice is pretty contested.

Give us those two things and a FA Storm and...is there a huge need for any other Storm? Maybe the late 00's version which was a more modest version of her FA look, and I guess I would be pretty down for getting an AoA versoin.

[Augustus_Cole]

point being.. there are SEVERAL good Storms they could still make.
so..WHY NOT!!

[Dr Kain]

Storm is a must buy, Dazzler, Iceman, and Silver Samurai are most likelys, Cyclops is a maybe, while Wolverine is the dud. God I really hope I don't have to get an entire case.

Okay, now that we have Jim Lee Storm out the way, can they finally give us First Appearance Storm?

Iceman looks like an improvement over the previous release, I just hope he isn't all loose and gummy.

If they're smart Storm and Wolverine will be the double packs in cases, since Storm is easily going to be the star of this wave and Wolverine because reasons.

Lots of Iron Men have those hands. I don't think you will find any of that hand shape in the correct color, so you will have to customize them anyway.

[Dr Kain]

If you mean open hands similar to that, most Spider-Mans using the Pizza mold.

Me too Vamp aka Artist formerly known as Tomax. That is probably my biggest Legends want. Him and Firestar.
They can just do a 3-pack with firestar, Iceman and Spidey.

Glad to see you’re doing well Nash!!

Anyway MAN!! That storm looks beautiful she’s a must buy! Her Silver samurai and iceman shall me mine.
Hasbro has been straight up killing it with these X men legends!

[ariellagunas]

Great Storm. Glad to see a Storm with hair (thou I love my last two Mohawk Storms). I can really see a massive improvement over ladies (and sure, gents, hair. No doubt influence by the many customs with flowing hair).

I'm sure black and silver are on their way. Classic Storm will be next year. It has to be. Plus Banshee and Thunderbird. I would appreciate Polaris and Havok classic. Plus Marvel Girl 60's outfit.
Iceman looks great, but they cheapened out on the slide and the belt. Still.

I would have like Dazzler with more hair, but I guess they wer going for cartoon and video game look.
Wolverine wasn't a must, but I remember buyin that comic book of Wolvie's first proper solo series. So who am I kidding, will have to get him too.
I like this set even more than the Caliban wave. They have really gone to town. How bloody exciting.

[ariellagunas]

I have no idea what the SDCC exclusive will be...

But I feel it will be X-men. There huge buzz about the X-Men waves, Dark Phoenix movie is out and New Mutants is next.
So My guesses are:

New mutants.
Giant size X-men (with exclusive Storm, Banshee and Thunderbird)
Hellfire club. ( not likely, but my dream would be White Queen, Sebastian Shaw, Leyland, Pierce and Selene) plus add a guard. Why this has not happen is beyond me. Oh, and Jean Grey Black Queen. Now that would be beyond.

New Mutants would make sense, Hellfire Club would be badass, but probably won’t happen, and I really hope that Giant-Size X-Men won’t be an exclusive. Maybe Shi'Ar Imperial Guard? And, not as an exclusive, a rerelease of the Cyclops and Dark Phoenix two-pack

[Dr Kain]

Well those didn't take long to go up for preorder.

I preordered Storm (along with Nightcrawler and Mr Sinister) from Pulse just a few minutes ago. I do wish Pulse would save my credit card info so I didn't have to put it in every time, but oh well.

I have to say, I love that Hasbro is selling the figures individually on their site so I don't have to worry about paying for an entire case right away. I can order the figures at my discretion. Though, with Storm, Nightcrawler, Sinister, the Hulk/Wolverine pack coming out over the summer, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to afford to finish the Caliban, Wendigo, and Vintage waves until late Fall. Hopefully they'll still be around by then.

[usernamedustin]

Those pre-orders went up really quick. I am very excited to get Storm and Dazzler. I just really hope the upcoming 3-pack Jean Grey is the 90's version. I really don't like the ball hips and price on the older one.

I think I am going to pass on Iceman though. I am probably alone in this, but after I added a Silver Sable belt to the Juggernaut wave Iceman, I am really happy with that one. I don't think the vintage wave one is enough of an improvement to justify me replacing it. Especially with all the money I am dropping on other X-Men figures this year.

[Spyne98]

I went and put a preorder on Silver Samurai, Dazzler, Storm and Iceman. That Wolverine might be a pass for me and I'm on the fence about Cyclops.

Now that I'll have a 90's Storm, I think I could go ahead and sell the Toys R Us wave Storm from a few years back. That costume came and went.

I'm also debating scaling my collection down to my favorite versions of characters, because we have been getting so many of my favorites as of late. But that's neither here nor there at the moment.

[hasbroherofan]

Hot damn, Storm!

Now that the new Mutants movie is (for now) scheduled for 2020 I could see next year being New Mutants.

If the theme is X-Related I'd love for it to be Hellfire Club. I would gladly pay triple the normal set cost if that would be the only way to get it. Classic White Queen, Sebastian Shaw, Selene, Donald Pierce, Jason Wyngard version of Mastermind would be my choice.

If the set is not X-related it's going to almost surely be somethinng Endgame of 80th anniversary related. Which i can almost for sure pass on.

Id like to see non essential characters or just recolors of certain outfits of characters ( black suit storm, iceman with no mouth and spikey things, spike, etc ) as the exclusive set. Tigra would be awesome and id love to see coldblood and some more reavers.

Also found a firefly....errr havoc i mean and a couple sw black series.


Sadly when they cut the case open they cut into rexs box so i will have to find another thats not cut for my toy office.

That Hellfire 5-pack would be am amazing SDCC set.

So much pass if that Cape is soft goods

[En Sabah Nerd]

It's pretty evident from the pics that Storm's cape is soft goods, it looks like a reuse of the TRU Storm's cape. I'm definitely planning on picking up Storm and probably Silver Samurai too.

It does look that way. I'm not even going to bother, soft goods looks cheap, it doesn't hold up over time and with it being white, keeping it clean is going to be a herculean task

Eh...I don't see how else they could have done it due to the way her cape is designed. Anything else would have limited posability and a character like Storm who's so gestural needs that arm articulation.

Toy biz managed it, one of the few things they did right

Definitely makes me reconsider wanting a classic Monica or banshee and siryn

[urrutiap]

I already bookmarked the pages of 1990s Storm and the new Dazzler figures from entertainmentearth.

That way I can keep track of them if they're sold out or whatever until August.

Looks like Dazzler gets the same circle energy accessories that other figures have been haing from Polaris, 1980s Dazzler, Doctor Strange, etc.

Really? Hasbro cant come up with making the right energy blasts for certain X-Men action figures?
