So we've got two unknowns at least there or even up to four since they could pull a move like some waves have and put in eight figures with no double packs.

I seem to remember Hasbro saying that the rest of the wave would be movie-based, and that they couldn't reveal them due to the spoiler-y nature of the figures, and that they said it was 'half comics, half movie,' which lends credence to the idea that it's an eight-figure wave.

Either way, I'm going to assume that Nebula will be in it, given that she's confirmed for GotG2.

I'm hoping and I'm kind of hoping for a third female with Mantis. That may be too much to ask for though, but honestly, I'll take Nebula over Mantis...we need more female villains Hasbro!

And I am sure I am not the only one who direly hopes another of the figures is The Collector. That would just be beyond awesome.

I remember that. We went on for two pages and no one stopped us SMDH...lol

I think you may be onto something with Nebula (really hoping for a comic version). The Titus inclusion is likely the result of the cartoon. He's been in an episode or two. Would a surprise Quasar or Warlock be possible?

@Lapu

Awesome!

Im with ya man. I would love a precyborg nebula....i always loved her as a villianess and felt she was very underused.

I guess they had to put Titus into a cartoon because he was only in 3 issues before he "died" in the comics. He has a neat look but he's just so far removed from the spotlight. Then again a more obscure BAF is one I less likely want so I can save on that.

Quasar could be cool in his modern costume, he just got a 4" figure in that look so it's clear Hasbro has him in their awareness of figure potential. If they do an Adam Warlock I'd like his GotG costume with the red lightning bolt design because then they could easily give him an alternate head to become the Magus so it'd be both another cosmic hero and another villain for the collection.

Well, if it's an eight-figure wave, and half the figures are MCU Guardians, and Hasbro isn't planning on doing new versions of any of the previous MCU Guardians, you may get all three of your wishes. Again, assuming all of the above, I'd wager that the MCU half of the wave would be Nebula, Mantis, Yondu, and The Collector.

Also, three female figures isn't too much to ask IMO. The X-Men wave's got three, after all!

Collector isn't in GOTG 2, so it wouldn't be him.

[Captain Nash]

Jackpot. Found most of one wave of Dr. Strange figures at Hendersonville Walmart tonight. Picked up the three I wanted (Nico, Enchantress and Mordo). MCU Dr. Strange, regular Dr. Strange and Iron Fist were already gone, not that this bothered me as I wasn't going to get them anyways. Chances are slim that Voodoo and Astral strange are still on the pegs but maybe.

So wow. Did not expect to find them yet. But pretty cool.

[TheBlueMarvel]

@En Sabah

Yeah, Titus is pretty obscure comic-wise. If they were going to go that obscure, I'd prefer something like Ravenous...he's roughly the same size...or Alpha Ray...or super left field with Tyrant.

If Quasar is made, I hope they use the same costume used for the 3.75 version. Agreed on Warlock as well.

[SymbiSpidey]

While everybody is finding the Doctor Strange wave at their local stores, I'm having dreadful nightmares of pegwarming Clints and Patsies.

[TheBlueMarvel]

BAF Dormammu sports a much better paint app, but SDCC semi-translucent forearms and hands FTW...





...also, I thought the war-skirts were different. I was wrong, they are identical. Not sure how I missed that when I got my SDCC set.

[donmeca2020]

So im curious but where is everyone coming with the idea that hasbro will unveil more legends at NYCC??? Last time i checked because normally i do. I don't recall ever hearing about them unveiling toys there.

NYCC is normally tons of writers,artists,and actors. Granted they do have exclusive toys usually but never heard of toy unveilings during this show.

I think the general thought is it won't be a lot. Just the remainder of the X-Men and Spider-Man wave and MAYBE a figure or two from the second slew of waves of 2017.

The X-Men/Spider-Man I'm thinking they will for sure, as those are likely early 2017 and by the time NYTF roles around they'll already be close to shipping out if not already out.

Plus, don't we usually find out WHEN the approximately retail dates are during NYTF? For some of it?

That was my thought. i've never heard of toy unveilings at NYCC ever.... i know as you said about the Toyfair next year is usually when stuff comes out and they show more goodies. i usually keep track of the big conventions due to the fact im a comic and toy collector.

Right, I'm the same. Half the time I forget that NYCC even exists. And I could be wrong. The Dr. Strange Enchantress figure did not get shown at SDCC (probably calculated due to her being the "draw" in the SDCC set and they didn't want to take away from that), but was revealed on her own without any additional fanfare. So it's possible the remainder of the Spider-Man and X-men waves will just pop up the same way. But still, that's a good 4-6 months away whereas the Dr. Strange was a much shorter window. Seems like a marketing advantage they could use.

Cage....Netflix.......t-minus 12 hours....and counting...
(can't wait for this figure)

Hell yeah. We've been counting down the days. So excited.

EDIT: Had these guys standing in this pose for a bit, only just now decided to photograph it. (Sorry about the size, don't have photo-editing software on this computer)

[Captain Nash]

I really need to subscribe to Netflix. For Daredevil if nothing else.

[Exodus]

Walgreens seems to be getting the Dr. Strange wave as well...

[Augustus_Cole]

BB that's just adorable....

[SymbiSpidey]

Went out on a toy hunt. Saw no Abomination or Dormammu wave anywhere, but I did come across Ultimate Peter Parker and picked that up to complete Space Venom.


UPDATE: Ah, the toy hunt is a beautiful thing. Sometimes you'll drive all over the place to find the figure/s you're looking for and not see it, then you'll randomly stop by a place and find that figure. I must have searched a thousand places today for the Dr. Strange wave. I cut my losses and went back home, but I was feeling hungry. I stop by Jack in the Box to pick up some food and on the way back, I notice a Walgreens so I decide to drop by. Sure enough, they have the comic and MCU Strange there on the pegs, as well as a TON of Punishers. Picked up the MCU version. Definitely know where to stop now should I go looking for the others.

[Dr Kain]

I'll be starting Cage on Sat, but I'm not going to be speeding through this show the same way I did with JJ and DD. I just have too much going on.

Thats funny. You can almost feel how annoyed tasky is under his helmet.

[SymbiSpidey]

Please let this happen in the MCU:

YES !!!! im definitely ready for some cage. speaking of him, we need a modern figure of him as well. i was never lucky enough to get one of him, i saw there was one that came out for SDCC years back. i wonder what the chances of hasbro making a netflix wave of their characters. im sure those would sell in a heartbeat.
