Missed spiral goddamnit. Did score longshot so now im debating canceling mojo world since its A) a windowless box & B) really only wanted longshot. I do like the non-powered eye though.

Why the hell is the number of backers for the Haslab Engine of Vengeance going down again?!? I want that Mephisto figure so badly.

JCarterVA · 09-30-2022, 03:56 PM

Got my orders in at Pulse for Cyke and DD set. Ordered everyone except Longshot. Never liked him as a character.

Dr Kain · 09-30-2022, 04:28 PM

FUCK!!! I missed out on a lot of stuff on Pulse thanks to a lightning dismissal at work.

I want the new DareDevil, but I don't want a white Elektra nor an outdated Bullseye with a different colored chest. Did they say if he will be released separately?

I'm not a fan of the animated line, but I need that Cyclops due to its superiority over the old one. No more annoying straps falling down!

I preordered Dark Phoenix, Avalanch, and Spiral. I'm not a Spiral fan, but she goes with Mojo, so might as well. Now we just need Destiny and Blob for the Brotherhood.

The Banshee doesn't look as bad as I was expecting, but god dammit, I hope they repaint him in his proper colors sooner rather than later.

Interesting to see Longshot separate. Doesn't that ruin the point of the Mojo World set? Oh well, I'm still going to go with the set since I want that Dazzler as well.

The yellow/blue Wolverin and Storm look better as well, but not really sure I need them in my collection.

Nice on the Stryfe reissue. Will definitely get him.

What's the deal with the Spider-Man vs Carnage pack? I only see box art.

I'm totally lost on who the other figures are due to awkward uploads on Marvelous News.

God I hate freaking trying to play catch up on the announcements.

Oh, did they say anything about an updated Blaze or Ketch for Ghost Rider stuff? Lastly, what's this about bendy wire tentacles for Doc Ock?

MeLikeJinx · 09-30-2022, 04:52 PM

Banshee kinda looks like Tom Cruise yelling at you... and I guess these reveals means that leaked list was probably accurate. And that 3 pack Daredevil is neat, but not worth upgrading from my Defenders 4 pack Daredevil. Really glad Longshot is a single... him and Banshee are my only must haves from today's reveals.

Benn Roe · 09-30-2022, 07:04 PM

Spiral is perfect. Just absolutely perfect. She’s been one of my top 3 wants for years, and I couldn’t be happier. Avalanche’s head is a little disappointing, but not the worst I’ve ever seen. It might grow on me. The whole retro wave is solid, and I can’t wait to get it. Looking forward to Chamber in May now, bringing my current top 5 down to three.

Also, with regard to the Reavers, the original three (who actually used the name anyway) were Skullbuster, Bonebreaker, and Prettyboy, all three of whom we’ll have. Mind you, the Skullbuster figure they put out is just Skullbuster’s head and an edgy jacket on a Deathlok figure, though. It doesn’t really resemble any version of the character well. And who knows if Prettyboy will be the original, mostly human-looking, version, or the more commonly depicted head on a robot body?

Later, Pierce showed up and they merged with Lady Deathstrike’s team that consisted of Cole, Macon, and Reese. Later still, Cylla joined. Those were the only named Reavers in the original run of Reavers stories. And, for the record, Hasbro did do a whole Reese figure. They just gave us the head with Skullbuster and, for some reason, released the body as a guy called ‘Gung Ho’ in a different product line. It would be great to get a Cole figure and at least a head for Macon.

Hasbro came through with some great stuff. Nice! Hard to pick which one is my favorite, and that is how it should be, Hasbro's ML team, but DD from the two pack looks A1!

Elektra looks like someone attacked her with a fan and a can of aquanet.

En Sabah Nerd · 09-30-2022, 07:36 PM

Legends from my birthday haul. M'baku was one of those BAFs that particularly didn't feel like it should've been one and I passed on most of that second BP wave so it's nice to finally have him thanks to the new Target exclusive. His articulation remains very restricted but I think he's still got a nice overall presence. Blue Marvel is a figure I'd been waiting to see done and he's mostly pleasing. My big critique is that they didn't do any of his gray hair, apparently for his figure debut Adam got vain and started dyeing. I think my first choice for a Blue Marvel figure would've been his original super suit (in a two-pack with Anti-Man) but Ewing's Ultimates was a good read so I'm still fine with speedsuit Adam.

MeLikeJinx · 09-30-2022, 08:39 PM

^ In my area the BP Legacy wave is actually selling pretty good... well, except for him and Shuri. I was worried it would pegwarm so bad that it would endanger more in demand Legacy figures coming down the line.

Heck yeah, classic green Banshee is one of the most stylish X-Men of all time IMO, and the only one I'm interested in picking up at this point. Would look great next to Siryn I might add.

MeLikeJinx · 09-30-2022, 11:38 PM

They never release the more popular costume first though... even with Bonebreaker Siryn they gave her the more modern costume instead of her classic one with the flared out collar. Which means a classic Banshee and Siryn 2 pack is still definitely a possibility.

Boogieman4hire · 10-01-2022, 12:28 AM

I'm excited for a whole lot of stuff and most of it wasn't even on that leaked list. If I had to pay upfront today for all the preorders I put in today I'd be financially screwed. Now I get the chance to go screw myself later I guess. I got a preorder in for the Daredevil 3 pack. Bullseye... misses the mark with me but damn that's a good looking Daredevil. I prefer the red costume for Elektra but I never got the Sp//dr wave figure one so I'm getting one now.

Well it's Siryn's second X-Force costume.

They should just do another Family Matters 3 pack then. Give us the green/yellow Banshee, Black Tom with a new fully bearded head, and Siryn using the new Firestar body.

I think it's just going to be the three-pack of them. I agree with you on Elektra, I prefer her red color scheme, she's always looked weird in white to me. Bullseye I will have to disagree on I do think that's a good look for him even if it isn't up to date, I still like that look. I also like his swappable heads. Honestly, we need more maskless Bullseye figures. Honestly, I'd like a Marvel Legends three-pack based on Jason Aaron's Punisher Max now.

Kang · 10-01-2022, 11:02 AM

I'd love a classic style Siryn as well, but I fear if this one didn't sell terribly well (feels like there's a ton of new ones still out there), we might not see another version (hope to be wrong though).

Speaking of multi-packs, I'm going to go REALLY old school here, but I would love a "First Appearance" Siryn with classic Spider-Woman as a 2-pack. Not that it would ever happen (for me and the other 3 people who might want this).

I would commit murder for that two pack tbh.

My Legends Okoye arrived... First in the not seeing the figure packaging.

Of course my Okoye has a big bunch of brown plastic on the side of her face that's not supposed to be there. Thanks Hasbro you Idiots

Also Why can't Legends get packaging like the transformers do

this is so much better than the plastic free crap
