3. First appearance.( just a new head and brighter color scheme easy win for hasbro)
4. Logan, again just a single card release of the rider series.
5. AoA weapon X. eventually, and soon, the Jim Lee era well will run dry, so I’m thinking in the next 5 years AoA will be getting re dos, and for some first figures.
6. Hugh jackman wolverine. Now that That the mouse ate the Fox I’m guessing the X ban will be officially lifted. If Disney sees a buck in milking the residuals, or if hasbro now has open doors on that license I’d bet we get a decent Hugh-Verne soon... ya know before he’s recast for MCU and forgotten.

Fang is a great idea!

Nope. Hopefully it comes with the throne. But that could be a Pop Figure. They release those like crazy

Hmmm, that's pretty neat if true. I could see GameStop making a store exclusive of one of Marvel's favorite Hell Lords. Did the dude give any additional information?

[Starlord67]

I think the MS MEPHISTO is AWESOME! Maybe a re release of that figure is coming?

Speaking of MS...The new Rogue has the full thick hair like Jim Lee drew. I wonder if it would fit on ML Rogue? Hmmmm....

Maybe if the current Rogue was on that old Lyra/Valkyrie body, but it will probably be a bit two big, since scale is something that DST tends to throw right out the window.

Kinda funny thing though I noticed, that Rogue has more POA than the current Legends one, including double jointed elbows and calf rotation...bastards.

He didn't and I was in a hurry so I didn't stop to ask

[MeLikeJinx]

I'm thinking the Gamestop employee misspoke... from my experience they are not really knowledgeable about comics. But Mephisto doesn't really sound like anything other than Mephisto. LOL. So I don't know what he could have meant instead.

And also picked up X-23 Wolverine and Bishop today at Gamestop... they had tons of everyone except Lady Deadpool, so I got to pick the ones with the best paint apps. Guess I'm done until Archangel hits.

[Phantomcrow]

I just wonder if he misspoke and meant Archangel when he said Mephisto.

Target pick ups. The Hulkbuster set was still $10 off and because some degenerate stole the BAF piece I got Carnage marked down to $14. Since Carnage was the only figure from the Venom wave that I wanted it worked out well enough. It is a repeat figure for me since I got the Ultimate Goblin wave Carnage back when it was new but the weapon hands and Cletus head came out very well.

Hulk was the figure of the pack that was going to make or break the set for me since the Hulkbuster is a simpler repaint of the BAF so I knew it'd be fine. Hulk is a drastic improvement over this figure's previous release, the green looks much more natural and it all matches. One of my big problems with the original AoU Hulk was the complete lack of paint on the torso, this one rectifies that. The paint is scene specific to his African rampage so he has the red around his eyes and his veins appear darker and more pronounced, this might upset some people who want a more generic MCU Hulk. Hulkbuster is just a nice paint update from the original, the red is more cherry and less plastic-toy looking. Since I never finished the original BAF I never got to enjoy how big this thing is so yeah that's fun.

I want all of the remaining figures in this pic in those costumes Hasbro. It would be cool to recreate the pic with figures as well.

Well look at The Dark Knight trilogy. Batman Begins had Ra's, Scarecrow, Falconi and Zasz. The Dark Knight had Two-Face, Joker, Maroni, and Scarecrow. Finally, Rises had Bane, Scarecrow, Catwoman, Not-Talia, and Dagget and for once the number of villains was not the movie's fault, but rather the shitty writing.

Other than getting a Cockrum proper Wolverine tiger stripe costume, I'm good. Though, since Hasbro is bound to give us another version, I guess I would take the one in that horrible yellow and blue uniform he wore during the last big Claremont arc before Jim Lee pretty much took over with the relaunch.

Thanks! A friend of mine made that as a birthday gift. It's a tad tall, but it works.

I would love to see them do Dark Wolverine/Daken maybe on the 2099 buck (Miguel O'Hara is supposed to be 5'10, Daken is 5'9 so....close enough) with swappable unmasked and masked heads. Outside of that, an updated X-Force or Astonishing costume would be appreciated.


My "totally not gonna happen in a million years" pick would be his look from X-Men Evolution because I've always really dug that costume.

I would like to see a proper "Patch" figure in his get up from the cover of the original ongoing Wolverine #1.

[SymbiSpidey]

Just got Bishop and Omega Red. My current 90s X-Men lineup (with a few 90s X-affiliates thrown in).




We know Storm, Gambit and Forge are coming relatively soon. I can't imagine Hasbro will miss out on the easy repaint opportunity to give us a classic Iceman in the X-Men Vintage wave, either. I love that Marvel Select, but I would like to see an official Marvel Legends 90s Colossus that fits better scale-wise with everything else. I also want to see them redo Jean on an updated buck because I hate the hips on the current one. Then there's just Beast and Jubilee to account for for us to have, at the very least, a complete X-Men Blue and Gold lineup from the 90s.

[Tim]

Man that’s awesome set up! I definitely can’t wait for that new gambit. And I totally agree about ice man. It’s a easy repaint. I hope they do him in a two pack with firestar (I’ve brought her up about once a day since Sdcc) haha.

Forge? Is that concrete. Is there a quote or pic from Hasbro?

At SDCC, Hasbro teased that they're going to be doing Forge, but a prototype wasn't shown.
