"Marvel Legends are mainly marketed to collectors" LOL Yeah, because that's why they are sold in Walmart and Target. The opinions of TheFwoosh and MarevlousNews are nobodies and you know it. If they mattered would we be getting SPYMASTER in the Black Widow wave? God, internet nerds thinking that they have more clout than they really do.

You act as if your opinion(which is shit to say the least) is law. Which it isn’t.

There is about to be a follow up series to the Outlawed crossover that will feature Firestar and her NW teammates

If/when Morbius gets a wave, I'd love to see a classic Satana, and the two Liliths, Draculas daughter and mother of demons.

Also, am I the only one that wants Devil-Slayer? In fact, the old Defenders like Hellstorm and Gargoyle as a BAF could be on the works. Here's hoping.

P.S. : got Shang-Chi. Love him, since I used to read the Gulacy era way back when. I wonder which customizer will do his jacket?

You're not wrong however. While I don't necessarily need double jointed elbows on my female figs (I like the single joint more provided it gives me more than 90 degrees of bend,) I'd certainly like to see more usable articulation and definitely more body types. One need to look no further than the excellent Kimberly Hart figure from the MMPR Lightning Collection or their own modern She-Hulk figure to see that it can be done.

Oh I'm not suggesting anyone frame it in a contentious way, I just think that Shartimus and others continuing to press them on improving female articulation is a good thing. Especially since other companies have started improving the articulation on their female figures and it's one area where Hasbro is falling behind.

The hypocrisy and lack of self awareness in this comment is very amusing to me.

Okay, ya'll have me seriously jonesing for a Legion of Monsters/Midnight Sons wave now...

[Bo Ttef]

I was only thinking about a new Frankenstein because I was changing up the Supernatural shelf today. I'm not crazy about Doc strange in there- but I didn't have any other place to put him since taking down the defenders shelf and he's too nice of a figure to put in the bin...

Neat. I like that they referenced the chest symbol of the comic US Agent outfit, even if I guess he's supposed to be Captain America here.

Again, this line of reasoning is complete nonsense when a solid chunk of this lien consists of nostalgia characters who don't have broad appeal to a mainstream audience. One more isn't gonna make or break the series.

@BO Amazing set up man!

[snake5289]

If there's an upcoming Morbius wave it'd be a great place for a new 90s Ghost Rider.

[Dr Kain]

I guess my Target that I got Vulture, Chi, and Octy from the other day realized they never put the whole wave out or something because today they had Rabbit and the 2 Spider-Man suits. Fortunately, Rabbit is the only one I needed to buy now that I have goblin parts on the way.

That would have ALL Maximum Carnage players available as toys.

Why would I want a movie Morbius wave when I still need comic Morbius characters? That would be the best thing ever. What I want from that wave is:

90s Morbius in the cool goth outfit
Danny Ketch Ghost Rider
Johnny Blaze
Hannibal
Lilith
Blackheart
BAF Basilisk

Excuse me sir, I'm not sure if you know this, but I'm supposed to be the board asshole. So please stop trying to steal my thunder otherwise you and I are going to have a problem.

Well the Venom wave was nothing but comic characters and it was clearly released to cash in on the movie hype so a similar approach for Morbius may occur.

[Struggler]

I was pretty ambivalent about a Firestar legend, but now I truly hope they release her and very soon, so all of her fans no longer have to dissect someone whenever he/she questions why there is such a strong desire for a figure of her. There's nothing wrong with loving a D-List character. Firestar definitely ranks somewhere in that area for me.

You are not alone, Ariel. Not only have called for a Devil Slayer, Gargoyle and Hellstrom on a few occasions, but Gulacy's Shang run was one of my first books as a kid - I shared as much when someone posted an image of his art in a Spidey-villain pinup...and although I've never requested them, I'd be happier with two Liliths than most of the other off beat characters people suggest.

Yup, we have similar temperaments. While I do want a New Warriors Firestar (or Perez' Avengers run), I don't get the umbrage people take when they learn there are others that don't share their level of excitement for a particular character. I meet plenty of detractors for numerous heroes (and villains) near and dear to my heart and their stating as much doesn't represent an affront to my senses.

One day you too will be able to express yourself without people reacting as if you drowned their cat before their very eyes. Just know that not everyone is sharpening their knives or preparing to launch disproportionate invectives at you for stating an opinion. The internet leans toward popular themes and, unfortunately, mob mentality. That said, any experience with this thread would inform you that Firestar is well liked 'round these parts...

Edit: lol...and you won't win many fans - not that you are going for that, I'm not in that business either - calling people "nerds" without clout (although I did laugh)...neato!
