@urrutiap - I can't stop laughing. The Hulk DOES look like the caveman from "House II"! You have my favorite post of the day. Bravo!

@SymbiSpidey and @Captain Nash - Yeah, I think classic Doctor Strange, 70s Storm, classic Falcon and Firestar are all coming sooner rather than later. Hasbro has to know how popular and requested those figures are, and they're all long overdue. I'd also be shocked if we don't get figures for Falcon and U.S. Agent this year, especially since the Falcon and Winter Soldier series starts up soon.

Right now, my main wants of what we know of/are rumored/have been leaked are the Leader, Silver Centurion Iron Man, Spider-Man, Electro and the Green Goblin. I'll add Daredevil if it's the classic all-red suit, as I'm not much of a fan of the armored black suit from the 90s.

My other main wish-list figures at this point that aren't from the list above are classic Wasp, classic lab coat Bruce Banner, Betty Ross, General Ross, Ringmaster, classic Toad, Chameleon, J. Jonah Jameson, a John Romita Sr. Mary Jane Watson, classic Shocker, classic Luke Cage, first-appearance White Queen, Monica Rambeau's Captain Marvel, classic Avalanche, Wizard, Trapster, classic Pyro, Constrictor, purple-and-blue suit Boomerang, classic Hobgoblin with alternate heads and a bigger/better glider accessory, Jack O'Lantern with his hovercraft, Longshot, classic Beta Ray Bill, classic Thunderstrike, classic War Machine, Lady Deathstrike, a Doc Ock (classic re-release with a John Romita Sr. head or white Armani suit) with bendable wire tentacles, John Byrne era blue-and-white Fantastic Four figures, She-Hulk (classic or F.F. suit), Cannonball with legs, a John Byrne era chainmail Captain America (with a smiling Cap head, an alternate Steve Rogers head and his round and triangular shields as accessories), a non-bomber jacket Jim Lee Cyclops re-release with a red optic blast and new head sculpt, classic Kaine, some kind of Rogue ('84 Secret Wars, Outback, Uncanny Avengers -- take your pick, Hasbro), non Build-A-Figure figures for Mr. Hyde, Mr. Fix-It and brown Pantheon jumpsuit Professor Hulk, the Amazing Bag-Man, "Heroes Return" era suits for heroes like Iron Man and Scarlet Witch, and classic non-Build-A-Figure figures for Sandman, Lizard and Rhino. A retro/vintage wave based on the X-Men and/or Spider-Man animated series from the 1990s would be awesome as well.

And if there are no figures for Golden Oldie and Typeface, then what is Hasbro even doing, am I right? (I am, of course, just kidding.)

[Captain Nash]

I wouldn't necessarily bet on classic Dr Strange this year, after all there's a Dr. Strange movie next year. Seems like it would be more likely then. Then again if they continue with the 80th anniversary line it would also be a good fit. A lot of your other figures listed I'd definitely want...it would be funny if we just got a package with Cannonball's legs. And I'd actually buy Golden Oldie...but only if she were a deluxe figure.


But what am I saying....after 2020 I'm stuck to the idea to narrow down my wishlist to 40-50 figures including remakes and alternate costumes and sticking to it. I was going to do that this year but then AOA happened and there's no chance I'm not buying everything they put out for that.

[StuartGreen2019]

@Captain Nash - I think they could make a new figure of classic Doctor Strange soon, but how soon is up to Hasbro. And with the Dr. Strange and the Mutliverse movie, I'm curious as to how much of that would actually include comic characters. There have been all kinds of Multiverse rumors online, such as Olivia Munn might return as Psylocke and Tobey Maguire could return as Spider-Man. Of course, this is the internet and rumors like this pop up all the time. But if it's true something like that could happen and if we're seeing heroes and villains from alternate Earths in the Dr. Strange sequel, it'd be interesting to see who all would make the cut as figures for the Multiverse toyline.

Thanks for the reply, Nash, and I hope you're having a great day, buddy.

I hope we get solo fig.

What if Dr. Strange 2 featured a Multiversal Avengers team of Tobey Spidey, Eric Bana Hulk, Affleck Daredevil, the 2005 Fantastic Four and that awful 90's made for TV movie Captain America with the rubber ears?

[StuartGreen2019]

@Black Arbor - I would buy that entire toyline, even rubber ears Cap. I am not kidding. Having grown up with all of those film adaptations, I still remember the first time that I saw every single one of those movies either on TV, on VHS or in theaters.

And the rant that follows makes me lose all credibility on this board (just kidding... I hope ): I like the 2005 "Fantastic Four" film, despite its many flaws, some bad casting (Jessica Alba comes to mind), and that I wish the film had been truer to the source material (see Doctor Doom). Though that said, I loathe "Rise of the Silver Surfer" and can't watch that film at all. "Daredevil" also has a lot wrong with it too (see Bullseye), though I do like the score and Michael Clarke Duncan's surprisingly not bad performance as the Kingpin, but I've seen much worse Marvel films and worse comic book movie films. The 1970s "Captain America" films, the 70s "Dr. Strange" film, "The Death of the Incredible Hulk" (Hulk is knocked out of/falls from an exploding airplane? Really?), "Blade: Trinity", "X-Men: The Last Straw" ... er, I mean "Last Stand", "Spider-Man 3", "The Amazing Spider-Man" and its sequel, "Iron Man 3" and "Fant4stic" all come to mind as Marvel films I refuse to watch.

From your list, the Eric Bana "Hulk" film, though, is one film I refuse to defend, despite a few good scenes and a few good Danny Elfman songs. Giving Hulk 15 minutes total or so of screen time with laughable digital effects, having the film's villain essentially have Nick Nolte play himself and take the name of the Bill Bixby Banner for no reason (yes, let's make a nod to the beloved 1970s TV series by having Dr. David Banner be the name of the psychotic father of the main character), having close-ups of plants and the desert for no reason, and having Hulk dogs show up for one of the film's terrible fight scenes all add up to one truly terrible comic book film.

It's been years since I last saw "Captain America" though. I like a few scenes from it, but the entire movie itself is a huge mess. The rubber ears on Cap's suit are laughably bad, especially since the rest of the suit wasn't too bad for its time, making major changes like making the Red Skull Italian, having Steve Rogers fake being car sick to take a main character's car and drive off (twice, no less!), and the sudden abrupt ending to the film with no real sense of closure or pay off still have me scratching my head.

Unlikely as it'd be, I'd also love to see Hasbro make figures of the Nicholas Hammond Spider-Man and the Hulk TV films (Bill Bixby's David Banner, Lou Ferrigno's Hulk, Eric Kramer's Thor, John Rhys-Davies' version of Kingpin, and Rex Smith as Daredevil, respectively).

I pretty much agree with everything you mentioned here! I just wish the 2005 Dr. Doom wasn't such a direct ripoff of Norman Osborn from the 2002 Spider-Man And the Affleck Daredevil is a pretty solid movie if you get the R-Rated director's cut version! It even has more scenes with Coolio! Who doesn't love Coolio!?!?!

[Captain Nash]

No credibility lost StuartGreen2019! Now if you had started off saying the 2015 F4 was what you were a fan of, that would be a different story. I tried last year to watch it finally...couldn't get past 15 minutes. God awful.

I haven't seen the first Hulk movie or either Amazing Spider Man movies but i have seen the others you listed. but they're definitely lower points in their respective series....even IM3 probably to me is in the bottom 3 of the MCU films, which granted have a generally high bar anyways.

I hope none of those show up in Dr. Strange & TMOM....I keep wanting to say the Mouth Of Madness. lol. Too bad Jackman doesn't want to do Wolverine movies...that could have been an "in" for him. And now i'm wondering legitimately if that's how they're going to get Deadpool in the MCU.

The director's cut of Daredevil is excellent because it fixes the choppiness and awful editing of the original film. An entire sub-plot was removed for the sake of speeding things along (as was the awkward love scene with Elektra...which was forced into the film last minute because the film was premiering on a Valentine's weekend. Matt instead leaves Elekra on the roof to investigate a crime that leads to the removed and fully developed sub plot.)

The Director's cut of the Thomas Jane Punisher film was very similar, and followed the novelization much closer, including an alternate opening, a bit more violence during the Russian brawl, as well as a traitorous sub-plot, while trimming a bit of the romance between Frank and Joan. If both films had been left alone as the director saw them in the first place, I think they would be far more fondly remembered instead of being the butt of memes, scrutiny and worst top ten lists.

Classic Dr. Strange just seems like something they're saving for his next dedicated wave with the movie, there are other places he could fit but that option is the most natural. I'm pretty sure the 80th anniversary line is done since it's no longer the 80th anniversary and for reference the MCU first ten years line didn't stretch into 2019.

[Nimrod]

I like IM3, Trevor Slattery was hilarious in it! I wonder if the "Hail to the King" mini movie will figure in the new Shang Chi movie that features the 10 rings & the Mandarin?

[Bo Ttef]

I sure hope they address Hail to the King. Trevor was fun and would be great to see him again- but damn I sure hated that twist. The Mandarin he was portraying "you'll never see me coming" was super badass!

Ditto. The Daredevil DC is great.

[StuartGreen2019]

@Black Arbor - Coolio is awesome! I was disappointed when his role was cut out entirely after seeing him in the original "Daredevil" teaser.

Bo Ttef - I agree, I also hated the Mandarin twist in "Iron Man 3". It turned a classic villain into another generic white rich business man who got killed off way too easily. I also couldn't stand Ben Kingsley when I found out he was a decoy. Everyone in the theater was laughing at him when he was Trevor and I just looked at the people in the audience around me like everyone was nuts. I wanted to see Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin, and we saw him turn out to be a dopey actor.

Getting back on-topic, I'm curious to see what the early reveals will be for Marvel Legends at New York Toy Fair and how much we'll actually see. I'd imagine we'll see a good chunk at Toy Fair and then even more during the summer for San Diego Comic Con.

I would expect to see the BAF for the AoA wave, a couple of more figures for the Strong Guy wave (it's due in the fall), and the full reveal for the Avengers game wave since it's due in June (although the game doesn't come out until September so June could change). I would also expect to see some more exclusives for the game since multiple skins will be available for all of the characters.

I'm hoping for the rumored vintage Spiderman wave to be revealed. It'd also be nice if they continued with the 80th Anniversary figures similar to Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America.

[Benn Roe]

Anyone else in the Philly area want to go in on this with me: https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/...073156432.html

I only want a few figures from it, but there's lots of good stuff here and the price is like $12/figure or so. Maybe a few of us could pool resources and split it up?

[Nutimus Prime]

Anyone have a spare Misty Knight, Odin wave Scarlet Witch, and/or Enchantress? If so, PM me plz. Thanks
