I've been saying that for years. I have the A-Force one, but she could have been so much better! That one that come out last summer is fine enough, but that's a savage look. I'd rather have the classic purple suit look.

So true.

I desperately need a She-Hulk figure that can threaten to rip up all my X-Men comics:



… which could then easily be reused as the base for a new Fantastic Four She-Hulk.

Note: yes I know Shulkie wasn’t in that costume on that cover originally, but the point stands in terms of era, characterization, etc.

MJ, Elsa & Natasha are three that immediately spring to mind. Possibly others if I looked.

With Ms Marvel officially revealed this just leaves one figure left in the Infinity Ultron wave. I'd be perfectly fine with MCU She-Hulk rounding things out since the trailer has already revealed her look but it could be a number of possibilities. It could be another character from Ms Marvel or another backtrack like Sharon. I'd be interested in Layla or Harrow from Moon Knight, though I doubt there's much market interest for a cult leader Ethan Hawke toy.

Amen to Titania and She-Hulk. I picked up the recent She-Hulk, grey and green versions, but she's someone I could definitely use more of. I even want her in a lawyer outfit (*no I never got the SDCC exclusive from 2007 with the lawyer outfit). Also while loosely related I kind of really want the Grapplers. The other Titania, Poundcakes, Letha, and especially Screaming Mimi.

Yessss, I would kill for a screaming mimi.

I saw Sabretooth at Gamestop today, so he's out there, too, at least.

Of course I couldn't bring myself to pay that $26.99 asking price for him, he'll likely be cheaper down the line elsewhere if you can wait.

[StuartGreen2019]

With all this talk of new figures of She-Hulk, Titania and the Absorbing Man, why not have Hasbro throw in new figures for Hawkeye, '70s Cyclops, '80s Rogue, the Monica Rambeau version of Captain Marvel, and any of the Wrecking Crew and create a Retro "Secret Wars" toyline in 2024 for its 40th anniversary? It'd be a great way to get a classic Captain America with a new shield without holes in it, a sold-separately re-release for Doctor Octopus with the highly-requested bendable wire tentacles, an updated brown-and-tan suit Wolverine, an updated classic costume Thor, an updated green savage Hulk that's sold separately, Iron Man with a Jim Rhodes alternate head, a sold-separately classic Magneto, and Doctor Doom in his classic costume and his Beyonder Doom look.

[TheBlueMarvel]

^I'm not very interested in another barely dressed-up line of all remakes. My opinion might be different if Hasbro brought new sculpts to the table, but their consistent track record informs us that there would be no deviation from the current model. At $26.99 a pop, that simply isn't going to cut it. Essentially, collectors would be paying more at retail for the same figures that were sold 2-3 years prior. I see no need to encourage Hasbro to continue to abuse this model despite numerous collectors citing it as exactly what is killing their interest in the line. And at a higher price to boot heaping insult on top of injury.

[Spyne98]

Just to say it, Hasbro Pulse is having a big sale. Any order over $75 gets you 40% off many items! I just grabbed 2 Transformers, the Retro Card Sandman, non-flammed Human Torch and invisible Invisible Woman for $78! I was tempted to keep getting figures, heck I might go back on. For that kind of deal, any of the figures who I was thinking about if I ever saw a good sale are on the table!

If they're going to give us a new She-Hulk figure, I want her to be based on this version:

I'm 100% fine with the last She-Hulk, but if I was looking for a replacement, that'd be it.

[Dr Kain]

Found Sabertooth at Gamestop today:



I will say the face looks a lot better in person than in the pics, but I could still do without the brown pupils and pink gums.

[TheBlueMarvel]

I received my Spider-Man animated Rhino. It's cool enough. Both new heads are better than the BAF cowled head. However, in my opinion, the BAF's emotive screaming head is still superior to both new heads. At $40, I was willing to double dip in order to have a Rhino sans the holes on the shoulders. Preferring the fig without the shoulder pads was worth the revisit as they were always an eyesore and mild irritant.

You are literally the only person I've seen take this position. I couldn't stand the BAF's screaming head because it evoked pain way more than rage, like Hulk just kicked him square in the crotch or he's suffering from a bad hemorrhoid. It just felt more cartoon than comic book to me, which probably feels like splitting hairs. There's also the fact that mine had really sloppy eye paint (actually this is what largely betrays the intended expression).

Lol Well, I don't think it will surprise you when I say that I'm completely ok with being unique!

That's too bad about your paint apps. I nearly built two BAFs: one with the raging head sans the shoulder pads and one with the cowl and pauldrons. I ended up giving someone here, I forget who, pieces to complete theirs leaving me with 75% of a second. Both of the mouth agape heads that were in my possession had great paint apps, but I do remember some complaints about misaligned eyes. While the new figure heads are better than adequate, both expressions are too stayed from my tastes, but I can easily see why people like them.

[MeLikeJinx]

Looks like the last fig of the wave is indeed MCU She-Hulk. The fan channel green comic She-Hulk with the alt calm headsculpt is good enough for my display... don't need another one with a more iconic outfit.

While I find this hysterical, I also like the screaming head better. Just my two cents. I'm not trying to start an argument.

[Dr Kain]

I don't mind the screaming head, but I think the new ones he comes with are way better.

[Sataninjaku]

I can't say I hate the screaming head, but I personally prefer a more neutral expression on figures, I've been that way since I was a kid.


Most importantly though, as a guy that came on late- I'm really just happy to get a really dope looking Rhino that won't cost $150, or whatever TF people are asking for the BAF these days.

Oh no, I much prefer it when forums are echo boxes for my own opinions

No argument started, to each their own.

Got Maggott last night - 25 years I’ve wanted a figure of him, the toy itself it’s sick! The texture on his pants looks amazing
