Just to say it, pins aren't a deal breaker for me, but if that Magneto is on a slightly larger body and pinless, he's a 100% buy!

My two main hopes for reveals: Destiny and Feral

ThorOdinson123 · 07-21-2023, 08:25 AM

I just hope they finally announce that No Way Home Wave 2 . I want a single carded Tobey Spider-Man please and thank you

usernamedustin · 07-21-2023, 08:26 AM

Hoping for at least two of the following: Destiny, Armor Psylocke, Excalibur Phoenix, Feral, and X-Factor Wolfsbane.

I would just love to complete a couple teams soon.....so close.....

Honorable Mention: Reaver Donald Pierce

Dan Yun put up a short video on Twitter showing the X-Men ‘97 figures in a display case at SDCC. It looks like the only figure with pins is Gambit.

I like that Rose has pinless arms and legs, but I don't get why they bothered to give him two guns when he only comes with one gun holding hand. As for Tarantula, his right arm is gummy as fuck so it is near impossible to bend it at the elbow. Still not sure why his mask is blue when the rest of the body is black. It also would have been nice if he came with some open hands, especially for $25. I have to say I kind of wish I had canceled my preorder and waited until they had gone on sale.

For me, the most disappointing thing is that Hasbro’s original attempt at Tarantula had similarly odd miscues. I think one of the forearms had a swivel, while the other didn’t. All Hasbro needed to do to make this one a considerable improvement in my eyes was to not screw up the color of the cowl. After your photo and comments, I actually did what you expressed you wish you had and canceled my orders; I’m waiting for the sale, or the 1.5 version – thanks for that.

Hasbro pulling ‘deep-fakes’ out to distract from unpopular pricing. The Jeff Goldlum luv is real among a wide cross-section of fans, but that shit got no legs...

Dr Kain · 07-21-2023, 10:09 AM

Looks like I'll be getting that 97 Magneto and Wolverine. Pinless joints, updated claws for Wolverine, a better painted head for Magneto, check!!!

Now if they can just give us Byrne/Cockrum Tiger Stripe and brown suited Wolverines on that body.

Daredevil and Alistair Smythe

New Infinity Saga figures Bruce Banner Iron Man and Black Widow

Dr Kain · 07-21-2023, 01:19 PM

So far nothing I must own. Blade is cool, but I don't truly need him. No one else from Midnight Sons interests me because no one else is from the Midnight Sons I grew up with. Where is Danny Ketch's Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze, Hannibal King, etc? Sadly, that is not the version of Clea I wanted.

What's up with Super Woman?

StuartGreen2019 · 07-21-2023, 01:24 PM

I missed most of the stream. I did get to see the reveal of classic Vision and the tease for No Way Home Doc Ock though. Is Smythe a fan channel exclusive or paired with another figure?

EDIT: Wow! It's my 500th post already? Huh, how time flies...

firmpulse · 07-21-2023, 01:46 PM

CRYSTAR!?!?! I think I may be strokin' out...HOOOOOOOOLY SHIT!!!! And Jesse Falcon said Marvel owns the prop. They Licensed it to LJN back in the day. So we could get the entire original cast. FUCKING BUZZIN

Captain Nash · 07-21-2023, 02:09 PM

Aw I thought the panel was tomorrow. All good...will just make the video review go faster!

TheBlueMarvel · 07-21-2023, 02:11 PM

I've asked for Crystar, but I never thought it would happen....

Power Princess is fantastic and exactly the template I'd hoped for..

And....where's Nash? Justice is just about perfect. Check one more off, buddy...

Smythe is the VHS two pack with Peter.

I am seeing so much excitement for him and I'm like, "Who?"

About. Time.

*Does a little dance*

Now I gotta find a new avatar lol

Seriously though, very much looking forward to Justice. I can finally complete Busiek's Avengers, even if all the looks are not right.

And...Avatar switch done! (Banking on the Count Nefaria rumor to be true hopefully) Hmmmm it's not very flashy is it? There...that's MUCH better!

Veronica Mars · 07-21-2023, 02:18 PM

That Power Princess means there's no more excuses to not do a proper She-Hulk in her F4 and purple and white costumes

LOL Congrats, man!

Vance is a big win for me too, but I'm still pinching myself over Crystar.

I must have been real good to someone over that last few weeks to receive a boon of this magnitude...

EDIT:Good choice on the NEW avi, Nash! Make it so!

Agreed. I'll add Caiera, Mankiller and a retool for Titania to that...

Fantastic for you for Crystar. I'll be honest I read that as Crystal at first...but that's some really good "out of left field" reveals!

I need Crystal as well, but I'm over the moon about Crystar.

I. Can. Not. Wait. For. MOLTAR.

hasbroherofan · 07-21-2023, 02:49 PM

Damn. Power Princess looks fantastic. And goddamn, Lady Bullseye after all this time! I think her initial prototype was in one of those conventional polls back during the dark ages over a decade ago.

And another New Warrior down! I think that’s just Namorita left and we have the original core team (though hopefully Silhouette is on the table too).
