Though, man, I would explode if it was a full Jim Lee-era wave. The original X-Men animated series is still my jam to this day, and any chance to get those designs would be welcome (though I still prefer Yashida-colors Wolverine to the 'Tiger Stripe' design).

I'll bite, yeah I'd like a Jazz figure over a Wolverine or Deadpool.

As for a full Jim-Lee Era wave, they are missing several key characters to make that right. White outfit Storm, Cyclops, Gambit, Beast, Psylocke, Collossus (I guess THe Jean and Archangel serve just fine). So if it is a Jim Lee era set it's only halfway done right. But it's a thought.

[Spyne98]

Nash, I think you're right. Don't get me wrong, I like updated versions of characters. But new characters are needed! I mean seriously, another Deadpool or Logan? We don't need that! If it's X-23 Wolverine, then well ok I guess. But we need new people. A Jim Lee era wave would be rockin'.
I'm at the point where I'm just going to wait to see what Toy Fair has in store for us before getting excited or sad.
All that being said, I agree with Nash.

If you look at the pattern of the last few waves that have hit, there are always 2 or so brand new figures. I am betting the house this X-men wave will be the same.

I know a lot of you longer time guys are looking down your noses at Wolverine and Deadpool potentially being in this wave, but for a guy like me who started less than a year ago, this whole wave, if this list is true, is a godsend. I was actually hoping Deadpool was in the wave, as the Toy Biz and Hasbro ones are expensive and I don't want to buy a knock-off. I do have a maskless Wolverine that was leftover at BBTS from the last X wave, but I'd love a brown and tan one or just about any version masked.

Welcome and welcome to the wonderful world of ML collecting . I get where you are coming from, but trust me, once you have amassed 5-6 Wolverines and a few Deadpools, you'll also wish that Hasbro would move on from those figures. Though I don't see that happening any time soon, those two are the bread and butter of the X-line right now. So I'm glad you're getting them and a few other newer figures for you to boot it would just be nice if they could offer a "new" figure for the people who have supported them throughout the last 10 years....

That doesn't just go for the X-Wave either. I personally feel that EVERY wave of ML needs to have one "never done before" character in it. More would be better but at least one, you know?

I'm just curious here, but... why would you buy 5-6 Wolverines? Unless you sold others off when better/more appealing ones were released, in which case... that seems to be the sad, unfortunate truth about toy collecting in general (my Transformers collection can attest to that!).

Incidentally, I'm in a similar boat, wishing that Hasbro would move further away from doing repetitive Optimus Prime and Bumblebee figures in their lines (which they have started to, at least), but I also see that, sometimes, you do have to redux a bunch of characters for the new collectors who haven't been in the game for as long/can't afford the aftermarket.

Various reasons, BAF for the most part, to get that Jubliee figure. One was in a box set a ways back, one for the Red Hulk, another for I think it was for the Apocalypse.... then another for the face off series and then there were plenty I passed on because I did not want the BAF (hit Monkey wave, Puck Wave and the various other single packs from Toy Biz that were not part of BAF.).. granted no one MADE me buy them but to get the BAF it was the option I had.

[Trivial Psychic]

I'm not going to get all worked up over this "list" of upcoming X-figures, I'll just wait until the official pics hit. As for why would someone would want 5 or 6 Wolverines, or any other character for that matter. It happens. Sometimes, there's an excellent sculpt. Other times it's a new costume. Sometimes hey...they did the claws good on this one. And before you know it, you have an army of Wolverines running amuck on your shelves.

It's even worse with Spider-man...lol. I also have a collection of Snake Eyes figures for G.I.Joe...I have NO IDEA how it got to that level, because I'm not even a huge fan of the character.

Welcome to the Marvel Legends collectors world. I understand where you are coming from. For new collectors, this would be gold. Maybe it means I can take a wave off, haha.

I buy Transformers too. And yeah, it's a pain to buy Prime after Prime. Although, like I said above, I see how it can work for new collectors. I'm at the point now where I try to buy the most perfect representation of a Transformer character I can find and then I never buy the character again... unless something better comes along.

BAF parts are the bane of my existence. I've said it before, but I don't buy movie guys or ultimate universe representations of people. But sometimes for the BAF part, I have to. And then the BAF Swaps, ugh such a pain.

Word..I could go without ever buying another Spider-Man, Iron Man Captain America, Wolverine, Hulk, Thor, Vader, Luke Han Leia Chewiw Artoo, C3PO or (Gasp) Boba Fett or Snake EYes, Storm Shadow ever again and not have an issue with it. I get that some figures must be remade because they are the core characters, but it just seems to be done to death sometimes.

I hear ya. I would love it if Hasbro could just produce more BAF parts and sell the BAF for something like $50/$60 but that would go against their goal of making money. I'd never have to buy another Wolverine again though.

Jokes aside, I agree with you on the new-fig front. That said, if this 'rumor' is to be believed, I'm ok with Havok and Kitty. I've been waiting for Alex for some time, I just hope they pick the 'War of Kings' outfit. Kitty's astonishing get-up is great, but limits her to certain line-ups. As for the other mentions, I'm satisfied with the originals of most of these characters, but I wouldn't necessarily mind updates for them either.

I used to argue for new/obscure characters within the ML line, but a few people on this very thread admonished/chided me for neglecting to consider that many people don't have as diverse a Toy Biz/Hasbro ML collection as I enjoy...I guess, this is the age of redux? I'm still trying to figure out what I will do with my original ML Onslaught BAF...

I'm hoping for the War of Kings Havok too. Probably his best costume. I do love the original, and the 90's too of course, but the War of Kings just stood out.

Ugh, I hope not. I love Havok and will buy a Havok figure regardless of the costume, but I would really love to see something other than his Tron outfit.

Unless that 'something' is his Genoshan Magistrate outfit.

[TheBlueMarvel]

@Bad Moon

I really hope it is that outfit. If this ends up being the selected attire, the only figs left to complete that particular team of space-faring X-men would be (wait for it, Nash....) Polaris and Nightcrawler.

@Boy Blunder

To each his/her own, my man. Havok's outfits trend on the minimalist side and I think that outfit added just the right amount of pizzazz. Personally, I'm not a fan of his Marvel Now look. The silly looking cowl makes him look like a tool. But then again, maybe you are a fan of his disco-fabulous/Members Only jacket wearing 90's look. Not me. I'd rather not have the Havok on my shelf look like a 90's boy-band reject...

[Captain Nash]

If I "had" to get a Havok I would also be in for the one that he wore in the mid -00's - I think that was similar if not the same as WOTK?

[warmachine6]

i would like to see a War of kings havok too.

Add me to the list for the WoK outfit. I was actually hoping to be able to skip this wave since there are very few X characters I care to have but I will have to buy Havok or Madrox if they get released and I surprisingly want that Rogue.

As to the Wolverine exclusion comments; it's never going to happen. You can pretty much guarantee some form of Wolverine in every X set. At least the last TRU set did not require you to buy him for a BAF. Neither did the Puck set actually. That was the nice part. Ironically in my case they are actually the two I own. I am by no means a fan of the character but I liked the sculpts. Puck wave one just came in today in a lot I bought off EBay. Not bad when the figures equaled out to about $12 shipped.

Really that's very interesting...so they made Peter fron a nerd to a playboy, very interesting...

I was also amused by how many auctions I have seen for the full Hulkbuster wave for less than retail lately. Part of it is that I have also gotten to the point where I am fine with waiting so there is less urge to pre-order.

Same, my area would get it a month or so later...

Although the CW has been spanking my wallet hard And at least with Marvel there's only one brand making it unlike TF where you have Hasbro and Takara.

[VonPooten]

TBM those shots are, of course, a knock-out! Never seen that Four Horseman Studios figure before, but he works impeccably alongside Strange as a harbinger of death. I reckon it's about time that Hasbro starts releasing power effect packs though, don't you think? The Tamashii ones are stunning, but they can only take us so far. We need a decent optic blast, ice beam, energy blast, magical sigil! However, I agress. Super work, mate!

As for the rumoured X-wave line up... Meh/good. I was going to customise myself a modern Havok, but if Hasbro wants to give us one that's fine, too. Kitty NEEDS a redo, and if it's Cable's Chris Bachalo/Messiah Complex uniform I shall be a happy monkey with cash in hand.

Still, it's hard not to get disappointed as an X-Men fan. Although, realistically, when are Mercury, Husk, Marrow, Frenzy, Glob Herman, Jamie Madrox and Strong Guy ever going to be a legitimate wave of figures for the consumption of the mass public? My wishlist is a who's who of C-listville.

Edit: I'll also cast my vote into the War of Kings pot! Loved that storyline, and unfortunately Alex has done nothing relevant since returning to Earth (except be twisted by Rick Remender into Wasp's psychotic ex-soon-to-be-husband), so WoK it is!

[Boy Blunder]

The funny thing is, I'm not fond of the WoK Havok costume, but I like the one from during Chuck Austen's run on X-Men, which isn't that different?

Maybe it's because of the art from WoK.

But yeah, honestly, my ideal Havoks would be either the Classic/Original, or his Mutant X design.

I would give nonvital body parts for almost everyone on that list. Marrow especially. I still treasure the Generation X figure that she got, but I'd love to see a Marrow in either her X-Men outfit, or the more recent X-Force design.

[donmeca2020]

you guys all have to keep in mind, that while i agree that some of these will just be repaints and what not, remember some of us don't have some of the other X-men characters already released.... i for one don't have Any legends X characters.

I would like to know which wolverine they'll be releasing as well now.... i already have the select brown and yellow costume so far.

look at marvellegends.net to see whats been released so far or just wait till febuary for toy fair

[mdstimcell]

Did anybody besides me notice that every X-men character that has been on the Uncanny Avengers (besides Sunfire) is in this new ML wave?

It's subliminal advertising for the Avengers. lol

I don't have a direct source. Although you could find the same, possibly incorrect, information floating around everywhere that posts Marvel toy news. I know Nuke's coming out but I haven't crossed him out yet since he has not been released, just like the Gold Ultron in the Infinite series has been around but still not released. Is War Machine the same one that came out in the Hulkbuster wave? I need to cross him off too then if so.
