Like many of you have said, I am happy with the Walgreens ones so I most likely will not be picking up the new team figures. I just want Doom, She Hulk and the BAF parts. However, for those who couldn't find the Walgreens figures or don't have a Walgreens by them, I can see how this wave would be good.

I'm with you all. I don't begrudge other version of the F4, especially in one wave, so that those who did miss some (reed and Thing), get them all in one uniform set. If there are additional waves I would like to see a few allies and enemies not done before make the cut. Otherwise I'll likely pass on most of future F4 waves if that's the majority of what we'll get

BTW Spyne, congrats on your wedding! I hope all went and wish you all the best of years.

Seems like the new F4 are Walgreens ones too, I haven't seen them anywhere else at retail

I feel like any further FF waves will have 2 ancillary characters, whether they're friends or foes of the FF, and then a set of the FF in a different costume (since they're the anchor of the wave, much like how there's usually at least 2 Spidey's per Spider-Man wave, and a Wolverine in almost every X-wave haha)

I'm hoping that if we do get more waves that won't be the case. Maybe they could at least plan for two waves and split the four up 2 per wave. One or two "core" figures repeated every wave is one thing, having more than half the wave be the same characters every time would be frustrating for those who want to expand the roster of characters, not variations of existing ones. There has to be a compromise that would make everyone happy.

My pitch would be that the next Fantastic Four we get should be as a single box set with the accompanying wave being comprised of villains and secondary members or supporting cast.

Box set of the F4 as a fan-channel exclusive and the standard wave can be the Frightful Four!

Saw lots of FF figures today (2 full waves at Walmert- but I'm waiting on Dorkside...) Did find one Cuckoo at least though... that was good

Only one cuckoo? I figured there woulda been a lotta cuckoos at walmart!

I’ve seen the new FF at Walmart (just Thing) and they are at tons of stores. BBTS, Megalopolis, etc.

It’ll take a while to get through all the Avengers junk clogging the retail shelves. I’m still finding tons of Cull Obsidian wave on shelves.

Well, so much for the Demogoblin and super Skrull wave coming on the first in the UK.
Hasbro UK are again delayed. Till February.
I got an offer from my UK pre-order to pay 20 quid more for FF wave to get them early through impost stock. But I passed, as I'm getting some doubles to make another Super-Skrull. That's a lot of money.
I was hoping to get a White Rabbit from Disney store, but they have no idea when they are coming except soon. So whatever.
My X Men 3-pack are arriving this week, but I'm hardly excited as I already got Jean. Couldn't wait and nothing to do at Xmass.
I have not pre-ordered the Widow wave, as I'm so underwhelmed, I only like the BAF.
So will wait.
I'm actually looking forward to the riders, so I can do a whole display with heroes on bikes, including Batgirl and Kaneda, and whomever I got riding one. Gonna be racing one another on too shelves.
Finally after the nightmare to get five Moonstars over here, I'm gonna play the long game with the Cuckoos. I like them, but boy, do I need three figures taking up space? Like Madrox?
Now, if they ever finally do a Jocasta I need loads. Hopefully with an alt-head shooting beams, so I can do a whole display. Same for classic Ultron.

It looks great in the group but I still can't believe that Spider-Ham was sold on his own as a full-priced Legend, and that he actually flew off the shelves in my area. I get that he got a massive popularity boost from the movie but still $20 for that thing was crap.

Thanks man! It all went well. So far, it’s been a happy marriage. But it’s only been 2 weeks haha. But I sincerely appreciate the kind words!

Neca Freddy Kruegar... I think this might be the pt.II one. They are all different- this one was the least raggedy looking of the hats.

Probably from the third movie figure then, the second has one of the more old and worn looking hats.

I bought 3 Freddies looking for the perfect hat... The original Ultimate Freddy, II, and Dream Warriors Freddy... I'm not sure which was which by the end. lol

Think the hulked-out Venom torso might have explained a lot of it. You paid for the torso, got Spider-Ham as a bonus.

I'm sure that's why they chose to include the BAF torso with him and also threw in the alt head to turn normal-sized Venom into Pork Grind but they still could've done more to improve the base figure itself. Previous large (and even larger) BAF torsos were included with fully articulated normal-sized figures who sometimes also had accessories. They could have made him at least as articulated as the vol.2 Rocket which had already been released.
