AoA Dazzler is cool too. Then again, Dazzler herself is cool. Since we've gotten some Storm and Psylocke figures, I'd love to see more female X-Men figures for characters like Dazzler, Shadowcat, Rogue, etc. There are a lot of costumes for each of them that Hasbro can make.

Also, there are so many Age of Apocalypse characters left fans want to see toys of (Magneto, Rogue, Storm, Sinister, Cyclops, Quicksilver, Gambit, Nightcrawler, etc.), I'm curious to see who will end up making the cut when/if a second wave of A.o.A. figures gets made.

Since Hasbro may have to reshuffle some things due to the pandemic, as I've said before, I'd love to see them use that as a way to fill the gaps left by the M.C.U. waves for more comic and retro figures for X-Men, Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four and especially The Incredible Hulk. Since we have "more Iron Man" coming, most likely a new (retro?) wave, I'm curious to see which figures will make the cut.

I also hope that U.S. Agent doesn't get to be a Walgreens exclusive. Those are always a nightmare for me to find.

I'm still hoping we'll get some kind of retro Doctor Octopus with overdue bendy wire tentacles, since Doc Ock is one of the greatest foes, and to some the greatest foe, that Spider-Man has. I'd love to see some retro Spider-Man: The Animated Series figures (Doc Ock, Hobgoblin, Venom, Scorpion, etc.) released to match the packaging.

I’m hoping they continue to use the retro waves to rerelease classic Spider-Man characters with more classic looks (Shocker, Lizard, Rhino, Sandman, Black Cat & Hobgoblin come to mind, with Doc Ock also definitely needing some kind of redo!) and then using the regular waves for new characters (the Spot, Man-Wolf, Molten Man, Swarm, Tarantula, & Mister Negative come to mind).

Also, of AOA vs. Jim Lee Rogue, I think it would be A-class trolling of Hasbro if they teased what looked to be a rerelease of the single most scalped and demanded figure in the line, and then announced the AOA look, and along with it, another AOA wave, after all the teeth-gnashing the first one caused. Slight aside, how’s the AOA stuff seem to be selling where folks are? Moving a bit slow in my neck of the woods.

In a perfect world for me the AOA stuff would be:

Wave 2 - Quarter 1 2021 though could sneak out in Dec:
Bishop
Abyss
Sabretooth
Nemesis
Storm
Mystique
Nightcrawler
Cyclops
BAF: modular add ons to create a more void like Abyss, the single pack of which would have removable limbs.

AOA Family Matters: Rogue, Magneto and Quicksilver w/ mini pack in Charles

the rest of the year: Deluxe figure Iceman
2 packs of Sinister/Rasputin, Shadowcat/Colossus, Dazzler/Gambit (no real connection other than just get them done.
Dead Man wave in the Deadpool/X-Force wave.

Along with what we've got this year and Blink that would give us 28/29 AOA figures. Yes I am crazy. No it won't happen. But I'd sure like for it to!

If it's just one more wave than: Magneto, Sabretooth, Rogue, Cyclops, Storm, Nightcrawler, Abyss and Nemesis, pick the BAF between Sabretooth, Abyss and Nemesis.

[StuartGreen2019]

@Ultra Seven - I agree. It'd be nice to see figures for characters like Man-Wolf, Spot and Tarantula in a Marvel Legends Spider-Man wave. I'm hoping we get figures for characters like Cardiac, the Rose, Black Tarantula, Fusion (from Paul Jenkins' run), Jack O'Lantern, and purple-and-blue suit Boomerang. I'm shocked Morlun hasn't had a figure yet.

More retro Spider-Man figures would be very much appreciated. I keep seeing requests for Chameleon, J. Jonah Jameson, Shocker, Black Cat, Hobgoblin, Web Armor Spider-Man, black costume Spidey, and so on for the retro waves. And as I've said before, I'd really, REALLY love to see new non-Build-A-Figure classic versions of Sandman (with alternate normal arms/hands), Lizard and Rhino. If we get a Lizard with alternate accessories of Curt Connors' head, left and feet, that'd be perfect! Personally, I'd just be happy with a retro green-and-orange suit Doc Ock with a John Romita Sr. head sculpt and bendable wire tentacles to go with my other Sinister Six figures.

I could actually see Hasbro doing the gloved yellow hand for BOTH figures of Age of Apocalypse and Jim Lee re-release Rogue. They could show us one of the two and then, when fans are disappointed by one figure being unmade due to the other's figure reveal, Hasbro could show/announce to fans the other figure is on the way too. Win-win.

[StuartGreen2019]

@Captain Nash - I just saw your Age of Apocalypse lists/picks, and I love them. If we got a Magneto/Rogue/Quicksilver boxed set, I'd get that in a heartbeat. I actually had, and still have, the Toy Biz Age of Apocalypse Cyclops and I hope he gets an updated figure. Then again, I'd just love more Cyclops figures (classic 70s, blue-and-yellow X-Factor, Jim Lee re-release that is actually easy to find this time, etc.), preferably with a red optic blast accessory. Seriously, I'll never understand why most Cyclops figures don't have an optic blast accessory automatically included with them. I still think they should've had an optic blast with the bomber jacket Love Triangle Cyclops figure.

I agree, I think at this point any Cyclops figures made should come with a normal head and then a head with a little groove for an optic beam which would be included. Seriously annoying that we've only got one or two like that. I'm not sure how that would work with AoA Cyclops, so maybe I'd give them a pass on that one, but after that, it needs to happen. Every time.

Except for Weapon X the wave flew off shelves in my area, it actually cleared out faster than the Wendigo or Caliban waves did. I'm really hoping we get a second AoA wave. If we don't another dedicated wave then they could still at least give us Magneto, Rogue, Sabretooth, and Cyclops sprinkled into other waves or in packs.

Speaking of AoA, since people in the States (granted very few) are starting to find Apocalypse in stores I'm imagining it shouldn't be long before Dorkside gets him in.

I’m hoping a potential Lizard is all-new, and much more lizard-like. Alt parts for Curt Connors would be a dream, I’m loving the trend of seeing more of Spider-Man’s supporting cast released (pipe-dream, but I’d like an Aunt May). For Chameleon, I wonder if they’d go with the smoking jacket, or the armored look from the cartoon (either would be obliged). Hoping that whatever they do, they use Chameleon as an avenue for more alt head pack-ins (maybe a Flash Thompson or Harry Osborn head to be used with the Peter Parker body). Ideally, I’d like to see Doc Ock in both the yellow and green and the purple costumes, which I feel like Hasbro might do, if they invest in the tooling for bendy tentacles. Sandman & Rhino rereleases would be excellent, with new heads for both, and normal arms with Sandman (perhaps put him on a different body, since the old one has those outdated hips). I don’t know how much call for it there would be, but I’d also like a retro Kraven, in bright orange (preferably with laser nipple accessories). I have no idea how we haven’t seen Morlun yet. He’s probably even more likely now, with the tooling there from the Hellfire Club set (which I hope also gets us classic Dracula).

[Captain Nash]

Yeah I think now that we have the ruffled Victorian (is that the right style) body Morlun may be more likely now. We've been needing a body using that for a while. My concern though is Morlun is a bit more lean than what's coming in the HC set, but then again so is Pierce and he doesn't look bad.

[Ultra Seven]

Gotta say, if Hasbro invested in a ruffle-shirt Victorian dude body, a furry female body (which they seemed to be hemming and hawing about in that interview) doesn’t seem like a stretch. I may be biased on account of how much I want Starjammers.

Yup, Hepzibah, Feral, Wolfsbane, Tigra, maybe even The Native. Okay, probably not the last one but Wolverine does need his love interests!

They’ve done more for less. Did they seriously make a furry male body for just Jackal & Puma? Am I missing any? Although imho parts from a Feral/Wolfsbane body probably would not look quite right for Tigra and Hepzibah. Might say a combination of new parts plus those fur cuff dealies off the Kingpin Black Cat.

Yeah, they really did just use it for those two figures, although I’m seriously hoping we eventually see Werewolf by Night that body. I’m not huge on it for Tigra or Hepzibah, but both were by name as a potential uses for that body in an interview. I can see it more on Hepzibah than Tigra:

[Thor Laserpunch]

Yeah Hepzibah has a couple different looks that could work. I feel like Starjammers are coming in some form in the next year or so since they name checked her with the mention of the furry body and a few parts from the Strong Guy wave look like they may have been made with reuse for Corsair in mind. Ch’od can largely reuse the Raft Abomination body I think. Won’t hold my breath but I’d buy that as a set.

[Black Arbor]

Dunno if it's been mentioned yet but the upcoming Retro Mysterio has a different head under the dome! Looks like Multiple Man to me...

[Thor Laserpunch]

Cool. Don’t know if it’s cool enough for a double dip though.

I sold off my Lizard Wave Mysterio when the FFH Mysterio was shown off 'cuz I liked the gold accents more, then sold off the FFH one when this one was revealed I'm so fickle hahaha

Werewolf by Night and Vermin, they could even be done as a single figure with alternate heads.

Honestly, that's kinda weird to me. I for one prefer the Lovecraftian illusion head the last one had.

I thought about that but after agonizing for a bit, I would rather have comic accurate colors than animated colors. He looks great though.

Was thinking Man-Wolf also. Werewolf By Night and Vermin don't really go together though... that would buck the trend of including alt-heads with quasi-associated characters. Vermin is often drawn flesh-colored also so it would make more sense to me to get two different figures out of some new ripped pants legs.

Warpath is available in stock at Dorkside

[Veronica Mars]

I feel like if we get the Starjammers it's likely to be a box set, they could add in a Lilandra and/or Binary

The AOA have been re stocked here I would say 3-4 times...Starting to sort of see DP wave 2 now.

Yeah, I doubt they'd put any of the Jammers in standard waves, aside from maybe Corsair (mimicking the Guardian/Alpha Flight scenario). Including a Binary and/or Lilandra would be great, too. Hell, maybe even Korvus and Keeyah.

[Starlord67]

DEFINITELY want my Starjammers!! I remember back in the olden days when they debuted!! Good times!!

I'm not AOA fan and skipped all but Dark Beast and Sugar man...so If more figures are to be made I hope they are sprinkled in with some regular era characters.

I want more Brotherhood characters like Avalanche, Destiny, Toad and Mastermind. Maybe a FA Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch?
