I think an alpha flight set with wolverine could work this year, with the new wolverine buck going around. Needs to straddle the line between something requested and something that won't cause frustration for casual fans not to get.

I would be okay with Alpha Flight - a set I'd be happy to own, but not be upset if I never got it. Just as long as Northstar and Aurora, Shaman, and Snowbird are a part of it.

Think they'd cheat and re-release the BAF Puck as part of it?

Anyone have any opinions on this ebay Pizza-Spidey. I was thinking about grabbing one...
Marvel Legends Infinite Series Pizza Spiderman 6" Loose Action Figure | eBay

That Pizza Spidey looks great. Will just take a Month to get to you is all.

Here is the Cancelled original at SDCC a few years ago.

As for Mayday... Wasp's the only one I can think of right now. Maaaaaybe a Rachel Summers, but that would take some hair work.

I've looked high and low, through several lines inclding DCUC, and even some of the kid friendly stuff, amd unless I find a down scaled version of Wasp's head casted somewhere, I'm not sure I will find something that works exactly. Rachel is a good idea, but it's a pricey figure to pick up, and I'm not willing to mutilate my own.

Jubilee's head would be perfect, but those damn glasses throw it off, and I'm no pro with Sculpey.

Good idea with Kitty though. Do you know if she'll be on the teen female body? I know that Silk won't be, making that head swap again to be a bit complicated.

Looking at the press releases and leaked photos, I'm pretty sure Kitty and Silk are on the same base body.

It could be the angle, but Silk is on the same body as the Ashley Barton Spider-Woman. I thought she was supposed to be on the teen body, but if you compare the in-box pictures that have been recently popping up online, it appears that Barton and Silk are the same height.

Only speculation though, my eyes simply could be deceiving me.

[redfox]

Yeah, it doesn't appear to be the teen Spider-girl body. IMO, it looks like Kitty, Silk, Ashley, and Jean are all on the same base body, height and proportion wise.

Correct he was a Tease by Hasbro. Shown but never released. So a Custom he had to be. The head was leaked in China and was able to be casted.

For me Alpha flight hits that sweet spot of "fan demanded, obscure, and possibly anchored by a major character", but I'm literally never right about the exclusive, which is kinda one of the nice things about collecting this line, the universe is so big that it can always be anything.

As far as Hasbro cheating and re-releasing BAF puck as part of it, in my mind, ideally they'd make it a 6 figure thing since he's so small, likely cheap to produce, and not many people have him. But then again, they're putting essentially 3 cake toppers as the MU exclusive, so who knows.

I'd like to see them do something really cool and inventive though, since whatever the exclusive ends up being it'll likely be a guaranteed sell out. A 100 dollar giant shumagorath or something like that.

[Trivial Psychic]

I did some more digging, and I think that the head from the Anna Paquin Rogue from the original X-men movie might make a good unmasked head for Ultimate Spider-Woman with a little bit of touching up.

Has anyone ever modded one of the older style ToyBiz (where often the head and about half of the neck were one piece) heads to fit a current Legends body? If so, how difficult was it and what do you recommend?

To the second point it's not all that different from them releasing Dormuumuu (sp) in last year's exclusive and then releasing him as BAF this year. In other words, totally possible. It has its ups and downs though = those that bought the pack for that figure kind of get screwed if they didn't want anything else from the set, but on the other hand those that didn't get the set are getting the figure if the want it. It's a win/win/lose/lose move.

Everyone just excuse my posts this evening if they make no sense. It's an early Friday for me and my friend "Bailey" came over.

Hells yeah...damn near perfect..
ohhh..this is ToyBiz...i guess that's why he's so outta scale with the modern Legends figs.

[donmeca2020]

Does anyone recall last year, someone pointed out there was a supposed Hulk wave that should be being released? maybe they could be unveiling that.

Hes not out of scale to me. Hes a Big guy in the comics. I mean my Warpath is in scale and hes even bigger than Bishop.

[Dr Kain]

I'm glad that Blade got canceled because he looks terrible and uses my least favorite body sculpt.

[SymbiSpidey]

I feel like everyone else has unveiled their SDCC exclusives EXCEPT for Hasbro. C'mon Hasbro, we need to know this!


And speaking of which, we still have no clue what any of the figures in the Cap wave look like besides Wanda and Cap. Odd because we've seen the entirety of the X-Men and Spidey waves.

[warmachine6]

think we might hear something in maybe 2 weeks time , they might tell us a month in advance maybe
