Angel and Banshee. They did have a Angel on display at this past event but it was a custom one. So he’s at least on their minds

Just was reading - speculation only or perhaps even less, just wishlisting- that it could be the BAF for this Spider-Man wave might possibly be Armadillo. God I hope so. I need to be able to pass on the half of the wave I have no interest in, and Armadillo fans get their figure win-win.

Spider-Slayer works too though. Or Riot - wasn't he the big Symbiote? - Big Wheel even! Porcupine was also larger I think. Just not Stegron, I need a solid wave for Stegron to make up for the shit wave Kingpin was that so many of us had to buy two of. Give us Justice, Firestar, Spider-Man India, McFarlane Spider-Man, Mr. Negative, Spot and Morlun and call me done for my Spider-Man needs.

Mr Negative is definitely coming soon. With the Popularity from the PS4 game. Hasbro has got to make him. And Spot is a Definite Need and want. I don’t here him come up enough in wishlists. But Knowing Hasbro watch them make the Baf Firestar just to get everyone to buy the wave like Kingpin(I am definitely joking haha) another spidey suit variant id probably instantly buy is Armored Spider-Man and Amazing Bag man.

I really hope there is a black outfit Storm repaint.

Anyone remember a whileeee ago when someone posted a cool picture of Proxima Midnight and Thanos in a diorama made out of fishtank filters, I think? Anyone remember who took that pic?

I'd be down for any of the following:
Firestar, Pyro, Toad, Banshee, Shadowcat, FA Storm, Callisto, Black Tom, Thunderbird, Avalanche, Selene,...

I could go on, but so could all of us. Even if we get just TWO of the characters above within the next year, I'd consider it a huge win.

It's not very likely that they'd do it but I'd love Apocalypse, maybe in his cartoon colors. They could do Beast and give him the calm head that should've been packed in with the Caliban wave figure.

I'd hope any repaint of Storm would be in a regular wave since she was just in the first retro X-wave.

I would like to see a grey beast with a calm head done in blue as a pack in.

I use gravel filters in tons of pics- I don't think I ever did a Proxima/Thanos one... but this shot is like 95% fish tank accessories

Was it one of the shots in the Ark's review?

That would be better than forcing a lot of people to double-dip.

[StuartGreen2019]

In regards to the next retro/vintage X-Men wave (if there is one), I'd love to see green-and-yellow suit Banshee, first appearance Storm, classic Avalanche, classic Pyro, red-and-white suit Angel and a Beast re-release with alternate heads (calm, angry, smiling and wearing glasses, whatever) and a removable lab coat. Classic Toad, Black Tom Cassidy, Cyber, 80s suit Rogue, X-Factor suit Beast and Erik the Red would all be cool too. And though it's unlikely, I'd still love to see a re-release of the Jim Lee/Blue Team figures for Rogue and Cyclops. I know we have the bomber jacket re-release coming in December, but I'd love to get the non-jacket version with the X-Factor Cyclops' red optic blast accessory. Why did they release two Scott Summers heads but not include an optic blast accessory for Cyclops?

For the Amazing Bag Man, they could always put him in a three-pack with Mr. Fantastic and Johnny Storm in their blue-and-white Fantastic Four uniforms. That way, we get a new or re-release Mr. Fantastic, a new new Johnny Storm with "Flame On" fiery head and hands, and a "Kick Me" sign on Bag-Man's back, just like in the comics.

My biggest concern right now is with the Spider-Man figures. It seems we're only getting two waves this year, the lackluster Kingpin wave and the recent Molten Man wave. Unless we get surprised with Fall 2019 reveals, I think that's all the Spidey we're getting for the year -- and that really, really stinks.

Since we're getting six figures and a Build-A-Figure character for the Spring 2020 wave, does that mean we're only getting two Spider-Man waves next year too? If so, then we've seen half of it, but not the Build-A-Figure. If they do have only two Spider-Man assortments next year, they'd better release a bunch of updated A-listers to get me interested. White Rabbit and Vulture are cool and all, but the rest of that new wave is just so "meh" to me. And since Doctor Octopus is my favorite villain, the Superior Spider-Man and Octopus status quos he's had over the past five or so years just makes me cringe.

For 2020, I'd prefer to see Hasbro make a new classic red-and-blue uniform Spider-Man, as well as the much-requested "Amazing Friends" suit for Firestar, any Doctor Octopus (Armani suit, resurrected/Steve Skroce suit, classic suit re-release with brighter suit colors, etc.) with his own bendy wire tentacles (which the 2018 figure should've had in the first place), classic or green-and-yellow Sandman, classic Electro, Molten Man, classic Boomerang, the Looter, classic or armored Rhino, classic Shocker, classic Tarantula, the Rose, Jack O'Lantern, Demogoblin, Shriek, classic Kaine, Stunner, any of the Slinger identities, Overdrive, Mr. Negative... the list goes on and on.

And let's not forget the possibilities of alternate head characters in their classic suits they could re-release with new/repainted brighter suit colors, like Mysterio (with Quentin Beck and Daniel Berkhart heads), the Green Goblin (with Norman Osborn, Harry Osborn and Bart Hamilton heads) and the Hobgoblin (with Ned Leeds, Jason Macendale and Roderick Kingsley heads) -- and to give Hobgoblin a bigger, better Goblin glider next time.

I'd also love to see a classic red suit Daredevil re-release, since I missed him the first time, and for a "Marvel Legends" wave for The Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man. It's been a few years since they got an assortment of their own and those heroes, their allies and their enemies all need new figures A.S.A.P.

I was out of town this weekend to drop some stuff off at my brother's place.

I went to Walmart earlier today and they just now have these Marvel legends in stock

most of the X-Force Wendigo build a figure line. Nightcrawler, Boom Boom, Dark X Force Wolverine, Cannonball and Alpha Flight Guardian. I was tempted to get Nightcrawler and Guardian but I was kind of broke. had to save money on gas to get back home.

but I did buy some movies for DVD anyway. E.T. 20th anniversary, the new Scary Stories documentary, and Super Troopers 2. I should have saved money and buy myself either the Fear the Walking Dead seasons 1-3 multipack or at least the new 35th anniversary Ghostbusters 1 and 2

Damn that looks great! Might not have been you then but I could've sworn it was a shot of Thanos and Proxima walking down a hallway and whoever posted it said they used tank filters for the walls haha. Ahh well, guess I gotta do some forum digging tonight

Making an Angel with some DCUC Hawkman Wings. No other company has made any Fold-able Wings that look that good.

I could see Angel, Banshee, Shadowcat, Corsair, Ch’Od, Rictor, Warpath, Spiral, Longshot, or Lady Deathstrike . Maybe some smart rereleases like Stryfe, Rogue, or Beast.

I know that’s the truth! DCUC is still my favorite action figure line. Marvel legends is a close second but something about them Dcuc figs I cant get over.

Also Your Forge custom is outstanding man! Wish Hasbro’s was that good haha

Thanx TIM. I have a MIB Forge but He just dose not look as good. So here he sits.

[Nutimus Prime]

Found a Colossus/Juggernaut and Hulk/Wolverine at Gamestop today. Could not resist. They are fantastic. My Rescue and Magneto 3 pack came today also. Beta Ray Bill will be here tomorrow. Time to rearrange some shelves.

DCUC looks exactly like it stepped off a page. I can’t explain why, but they feel like a more exact translation than Marvel Legends.

My Target did their reset and still no Hulk, Thor, or Iron Man (they didn't even have the Colossus pack out despite me getting one last week). They had the X-Men vintage wave except Storm, and they had Boom Boom. I could only afford one item, and since I am getting Dazzler through Pulse, I picked up Iceman.



He's cool, but I don't like how he doesn't come with any additional hands as I think him having just fists looks wrong. I would have easily traded in that horrible figure stand they call a slide for some open hands. His paint job is kind of weird too because he looks more like Silver Surfer to me, but he's got no loose joints at all like that trainwreck Hasbro did a few years ago.

The Hulk set is "Fan Channel" exclusive so you won't find it at Target.
