Maybe this wave is next year's Avengers themed Marvel Legends wave? What do you guys think?

According to Marvelous News (who had the scoop on AOA wave 2 & the Iron Man wave accurate, and some correct info on the second retro Spider-Man wave), the Avengers wave is a separate entity: https://marvelousnews.com/252-29385. From the three “leaked” thus far, the line-up sounds substantially better than the X-Men wave that was leaked gradually earlier in the month. Apparently we’ve got:

- U.S. Agent
- Speedball
- Blue Marvel

… plus four TBD & the BAF. If I had to guess, we’ll see one more low-tooling cost character like Stingray, plus a villain or two (Nefaria or Graviton finally). The wave needs a couple females, so maybe Mockingbird (with tooling from Lady Deathstrike) & classic Wasp? Atlas BAF to take care of our semi-annual Thunderbolt.

Blue Marvel! Yes!!!

And yes PLEASE Hasbro, it's not like it was Firestar or FA Storm level, but it's time for at least one of Nefaria or Graviton to make an appearance. They should be comparatively easier figures to make than many.

And lets not forget the whizzer. We need a whizzer!

Casting no aspersions on Marvelous News, as they're a trusted source, but I'll reserve my excitement for an official announcement by Hasbro. That said, this speculation does heighten my anticipation of any Avengers announcements. The character doesn't exactly fit squarely as an "Avenger", but he makes more sense there than anywhere else.

[Spyne98]

Interesting rumored list. I also like the ideas about the other figures. A classic Mockingbird with Deathstrike sleeves is a great idea!

[Nimrod]

Decided to buy a bunch of suited figs to serve as Kingpin's soldiers/hitmen. Threw a few head sculpts from other figs and just kept the MCU heads on as they can serve as thugs in the comic based universe.

It’s such a no-brainer for some tooling with limited use! Plus it gets us another step closer to the classic West Coast Avengers line-up of my youth, which would be a dream come true.

Same here, except for the yellow Daredevil (which I would be happy to find if I could). I did notice some of the Walgreens in my area have updated the pricing on the shelves for Marvel Legends to $23.99. Maybe that is an indicator that new stock is forthcoming.

Sounds great. Been wanting Blue Marvel for a while.

If you need DAREDEVIL I'll be happy to pick him up for you for cost plus shipping.

Just hit me there's a high chance of another classic Thunderbolts member. Wouldn't be surprised to see Moonstone.

What desk do you have there? I recognize most of the other stuff from Hobby Lobby.

I sure hope so. I was a bit disappointed we didn't get an OG Thunderbolt this year, but with it being what it is...you take what you can get. Getting her and Atlas as the BAF would be amazing; as it is she's scheduled to make an appearance on my top 10 wanted list right now.

Edit...good god I cannot TYPE today.

[WallySparks]

i was at the usual comic book shop that i go to earlier this month and went to the corner back wall where they still have old Marvel Legends figures from 19 years ago. I still think the old Age of Apocalypse Sabretooth still looks great with the swivel hinged fingers even though those figures were sort of clunky looking and huge

So a new larger buck for her since most folks don't like the standard "Moonstone buck?"

I could see both classic Mockingbird and Safari Jacket Wonder Man being released on the silver Marvel Universe retro card

Oh good idea!
I'd love to see the full OG Thunderbolts lineup in Legends form. We just need 3 more people!

The desk is also from wood parts at Hobby Lobby. top is a wood design & the sides are balsa wood. Just hot glued together & shellacked. A lot of the extra office accessories are actually from online dollhouse sites or ebay.

Interesting. And yeah, my Hobby Lobby sells all of those dollhouse parts in store so I don't have to go online for them.

Thanks.

Hobby Lobby sells many of the items but for the newspaper & magazine articles, I had to get em off ebay.

So TIGRA is up at Gamestop with 4 day shipping. Could that be right? Is she ready to ship?

I will let you know. I ordered one the other day and should be here tomorrow.

[StuartGreen2019]

On The Fwoosh boards, it's rumored the new comic-based "Marvel Legends: Avengers" wave consists of the following seven characters, with a T.B.A. Build-A-Figure:
- Blue Marvel
- Iron Man [classic]
- Quicksilver
- Madam Hydra
- Speedball
- Thor
- U.S. Agent

I have no idea what versions/costumes we will get for Quicksilver, Thor and U.S. Agent or what Classic Iron Man means, especially since everyone's speculating that the "classic" red-and-gold Iron Man will be a part of the 20th anniversary "Marvel Legends" wave. It's also disappointing that there's only one female figure and that Madame Hydra is also the lone villain figure of the wave.

If this roster is true, what do you guys think of the wave?

I would be underwhelmed if this were the case. The lack of female characters is annoying, with so many lady Avengers needed. So is the lack of villains. The overall amount of repeat characters is frustrating, since I personally don’t need another Thor or Iron Man. This is much like the X-Men wave leak, where the first few leaks were much more promising than the rest of the wave.

[StuartGreen2019]

@Ultra Seven - I have to admit, I'd be underwhelmed too. I'd have to see what the costumes/versions would be of Quicksilver, Thor, Iron Man and even U.S. Agent would be before I decided to buy any of them. After being so impressed with the second wave of next year's "Retro Spider-Man", I'm surprised that the rumored full listings for the next "Avengers" and "X-Men" waves are not as exciting to me. There are still plenty of characters, and even plenty of alternate costumes of existing characters, left to be made into figures for the "Avengers" and "X-Men" waves. Maybe we will see some of these rumored figures revealed in October? Time will tell.
