Century would be a good one to add and cant really see him being popular in any other wave. It could even be our best chance of getting a Force Works version of Scarlet Witch. Not my favorite look, but her solo miniseries that featured it was always a favorite of my so I would definately still want one.

Hypnotia, Century & cartoon Scarlet Witch would be cool (it would be great if they included BAF parts for a new Fin Fang Foom as the old one was so hard to get!)

I have a spare Walgreens Moon Knight...anyone wanting to do a straight trade for a Warpath (with BAF part) or a G.I.Joe Classified Beachhead or Cobra Trooper? Lemme know!

Hulkling is a stretch since he has nothing to do with Hulk beyond the name.

Yeah. I don't think many people would appreciate Hulkling over quite a few other Hulk characters. There's actually a good amount of characters to choose. Betty Ross or her dad Thad, Xemnu, Doc Sampson, Zzzax, Caiera the Oldstrong, comic Korg, Xemnu, Gremlin, Harpy (preferably Immortal Hulk version), Combo Hulk, XEMNU, someone from the Rangers (preferably Texas Twister), even Skaar.

We'll have to agree to disagree. I'd wager Hulkling has more fans than most of those listed.

And, as I already said, Legends is rarely that literal. A lot of the character waves aren't strictly limited to that person's cast. In much the same way you'll see general Avengers-ish characters in a Captain America or Ant-Man wave or more general street level heroes in a Spider-Man wave.

Thor Laserpunch · 08-01-2020, 11:33 AM

All this Xemnu madness is making me want a Xemnu. I will breed a Scottish terrier with a snowy owl and have their offspring made into an articulated piece of taxidermy if need be.

Starlord67 · 08-01-2020, 11:45 AM

I still have a Moon Knight who needs a good home. Any takers? If not by tonight I'll throw him on EBay but I'd rather get him in the hands of an Arker who needs him.

Thor Laserpunch · 08-01-2020, 11:57 AM

Didn't you get my payment??

I did my friend...so far I've found 6 Moon Knights in the wild all within 5 miles of my house. Looking to sell of trade this last one.

Thor Laserpunch · 08-01-2020, 12:18 PM

Ahhh ok ��

Harbinger · 08-01-2020, 12:22 PM

I did manage to find the last 3 figs to build strong guy.

Phantomcrow · 08-01-2020, 12:42 PM

Man, Everyone up in here finding Moon Knight and every Walgreens I walk into is packed to the gills with Iron Man 2020'S.

He's a good character that could use a good figure, maybe on the Omega Red body but I just think he has more versatility in terms of release somewhere else. He could be in an Avengers wave or a box set. But the reason for mine or anyone's "silly" little Hulk wishlists is that Hulk characters specifically, not characters with fudgeable connections to the Hulk, are what's desired because of how few and far between their releases have been. And Hulkling may be/probably is more popular than characters I or someone else listed but in terms of a wave of few figures to be released under the Hulk banner, they've got him beat. I also forgot to mention but another alternative for another contemporary young Hulk would be Amadeus Cho. And Smart Hulk is just the right size for that.

If that works send me one.

Where did you ever see them being an August release? They've always been October/November at all the stores I check (Pulse, Dorkside, BBTS), granted Hasbro figures usually do start trickling out ahead of their given dates.

Thor Laserpunch · 08-01-2020, 01:45 PM

Presumably he thought they were all hitting at the same time as the retro wave being as they all had November street estimates originally. I imagine they will probably hit early as that seems to be the trend.

Another archenemies multipack suggestion: Mandrill/Nekra/Shanna the She-Devil.

Sure. But that's why I said a "reasonable" Hulk wave. Like I said previously, these waves tend to have quite a few "fudgable" connections and have never been strictly along those lines.

Here in the UK both Zavvi & Forbidden Planet say approx Aug release but I figured that might be a pre-COVID release date thats not been updated ever

Thanks for confirming they are out in Oct/Nov :-)

Harbinger · 08-01-2020, 02:35 PM

Decided to just collect x related and spidey related legends so the great purge begins. Heres a few customs to plug the thread and to show ‘em.

Thor Laserpunch · 08-01-2020, 02:57 PM

Did you paint those? I don’t see any chili cheese Frito dust.

I read on Facebook that this Monday is another Marvel Monday on pulse. Anyone else read that? Any truth there?

Thor Laserpunch · 08-01-2020, 04:17 PM

Supposed to be a Fan Channel reveal.

Veronica Mars · 08-01-2020, 04:23 PM

Maybe the Rogue/Pyro 2 pack
