That is not the Psylocke I wanted, it's what I expected, but still

[WallySparks]

new Wave 2 of X-Men 97 series. Figures are

1980s good guy Magneto outfit. not bad
Cyclops. Eh. I i already have the previous Animated Cell shading Cyclops
Nightcrawler - heck yes Ill buy it.
X Cution. Pass. was never fond of the whole X-Cutioner storyline in the X-Men comics back then in the early 1990s

another Jean Grey. Cool i guess

Goblin Queen with baby Cable I think? Not bad but i guess they had to tone it down with her being too sexy with barely any clothing

[TheBlueMarvel]

The livestream reveals are all pending purchases for me despite being very heavy on the Wolverine...

[lordbest]

I resent how much I liked all the Wolverine 2 packsand that Angel is spectacular.

[hasbroherofan]

Angel looks incredible and I'm happy to finally have a SamCap with wings.

[Veronica Mars]

How is Angel getting released? Part of a wave or a deluxe figure like Archangel? Also where are they reusing those wings?

[hasbroherofan]

Given the size of the wings and the fact that they're articulated, he's almost certainly a deluxe release.

As for reuse, the most obvious suspects are a blue Neal Adams costume Angel and Mimic.

He'll probably be 45-50 bucks. And honestly? I may buy him. Awesome job on the wings overall.

I like Sam Cap too, but cannot do pins anymore. Same with the new Sabertooth.

Absolutely LOVE Lady Mandarin.

It isn't just about the amount of skin. It's than one drips naughty demon sexy and the other does not. Like it or not THAT'S what it's about.

[WallySparks]

I have 2 questions about the new Marvel Legends figures

Who's the red ninja type figure? Another Hand ninja or something?

also that Psylocke figure. I was hoping they'd release actual original british Psylocke from early 1980s before the stupid asian ninja crap.

that battle armor PSylocke is basically whatsherface? Kwann or whatever?

[TheBlueMarvel]

^It's Psyloke as Lady Mandarin.

My thoughts on today's reveals:
- The red ninja figure, whoever it is, looks cool, but I have no interest in it personally. That's a pass.
- Iron Man and Iron Spider are both easy passes. I have other looks for Iron Man and Spider-Man that I'd rather see get made into figures.
- Sam Wilson as Cap is gorgeous, but I'm debating about him. Most likely yes, but it ultimately depends on the price.
- Hydra Cap? Seriously? I HATE that storyline and still hate the whole idea of evil Hydra Cap. His costume is lousy too. DEFINITE PASS.
- I already gave my thoughts on the "X-Men '97" wave, so...
- How the heck can you do a fifty years of Wolverine wave and not re-release first appearance Wolverine with classic green savage Hulk? No, wait, better question: how can you do a fifty years of Wolverine wave AND NOT INCLUDE THE BROWN AND TAN COSTUME?!? That Wolverine figure with Lilandra is so underwhelming.
- The Sabretooth and Logan two-pack is a must-buy. Hasbro really impressed with with these two.
- That Psylocke and Wolverine two-pack likely isn't impressing a lot of folks, especially those who wanted a new puffy pink sleeves Psylocke, a better Jim Lee era Psylocke, or literally ANY OTHER VERSION of Psylocke. I see that going as well as the Namorita reveal debacle.
- I'm debating on the Patch and Mr. Fix-It two-pack. I don't NEED it exactly, but I'd definitely WANT to buy it, especially since I couldn't find the Wal-Mart exclusive Mr. Fix-It. Also, I'd love to see those new grey Hulk head sculpts re-used for a McFarlane-era grey Hulk and repainted for a new green savage Hulk figure.
- Angel is GORGEOUS. I don't care what the cost is or how he's released, he is DEFINITELY going in my collection.

That said, I do hope Hasbro ends up making a "Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars" 40th anniversary wave next year, more figures for The Incredible Hulk and Ghost Rider, and we get new figures like a classic Falcon and Carol Danvers Ms. Marvel in her black costume for the next Avengers wave. It'd also be cool to see new "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" figures for J. Jonah Jameson, Felicia Hardy, Mysterio, Detective Terri Lee, the Shocker, the Chameleon, Nick Fury, Morbius, a re-done Green Goblin in his show accurate costume, and a two-pack of Spider-Man and Venom since the previous two were exclusives.

Also, because nobody cares, after today's reveals, I feel confident enough to go ahead and drop my Top 10 wish-list characters:
Captain America [classic costume with round shield without holes in it and triangular shield]
Doctor Octopus [green-and-orange costume on pinless body with bendable wire tentacles]
Mary Jane Watson [first appearance]
Hulk [Professor Hulk persona in brown Pantheon-era jumpsuit]
Thor [classic]
Daredevil [classic red costume with Matt Murdock alternate head]
Storm [black Outback era uniform with yellow lightning insignia and long hair]
Mystique [classic]
Invisible Woman [1995 "opera gloves"/sleeveless Fantastic Four uniform]
Jubilee [Generation X uniform]

I hope you all are having a wonderful day. Stay safe, everyone, and Happy Holidays!

[Veronica Mars]

What's the teaser? I'm thinking Krakoan era Firestar or possibly Rachel

[hasbroherofan]

They said "otherworldly" so my thought was something supernatural.

It's all very confusing to me.

So, it isn't Lady Mandarin?

She is also Lady Mandarin at that point. It's post siege perilous

[ScottyHawkeye]

I love the Falcon & Captain America figures.

[WallySparks]

aka Kwannon the Jim Lee asian Psylocke. No thanks.

I want the actual british Betsy Braddock from the late 70s early mid 1980s where she was with the X-Men in Australia.

Ok, got it. Psylocke as Kwannon as Lady Mandarin. There's a poor Tropic Thunder reference in there somewhere...

I want the original Besty, as well, but I’m buying this one.

I'm at a loss on Psylocke. Literally an outfit she wore for one 3 issue storyline, plus a few other scattershot moments, like in a dream or astrally. Not the Psylocke nearly anyone expected or asked for.

Still, it's a Psylocke that's not in a variation of her classic Jim lee outfit, so I'll get it, just so I have some variety there. Armored look is still definitely on the want list.

Angel looks great, though I would have slightly preferred the Blue and White look, this is still a great figure and knocks another big want off the list. Same for Madelyn Pryor, I'm going to use that figure for the comic look, since it's very unlikely we'll see the classic Goblin Queen outfit.

So I guess my top 10 wants look like:

10. Maximus The Mad
9. Banshee - GSXM look or a variation of it.
8. Morgan Le Fay
7. Psylocke (Australian Outback) - so close but so far on this one.
6. Wizard
5. Meteorite (Thunderbolts)
4. Mandarin- nearly any look that isn't green skinned, except his first look.
3. Exodus
2. Graviton
1. Count Nefaria - you are rumored...where are you??

BAF: Atlas...C'mon Hasbro throw us OG Thunderbolt fans a bone here.

I'd like something supernatural, but I think that Hound/Excalibur Rachel is a strong possibility. Rachel’s Hound Phoenix does sort of count as an ‘otherworldly’ character. When she embraced the Phoenix force, she was nigh omnipotent taking on Galactus and having that epic planet shattering battle with Necrom. I’d love a Necrom.

Since they delivered a GQ outside of the EoV maybe it’s Daimon Hellstrom. That would be the bee's knees.

[WallySparks]

Well, I and other older fans of original Uncanny X-Men grew up with original British Betty/Betsy Braddock that wore stylish clothes and was with the X-Men in Australia.

Who the hell really wants the battle armor Kwannon figure anyway? i suppose if youre into Jim Lee drawn big busty women then go for it.

Ill pass on the Kwannon battle armor figure. Not my Psylocke
