I don't want to delve too much into this, but isn't this literally a cliffhanger? I mean we already know season 2 is going to happen and they literally broke the timeline and created the multiverse on screen (it was confirmed to have existed back in Dr. Strange, but everyone ignores that for some reason) and setup Kang in the MCU. What were you expecting?

Cliff hangers leave you wanting to know what happens next though. WIth this ending, I'm not sure I care enough to continue. Like what CW does is a cliff hanger. This was just a middle finger.

Uhm...well, ok then. Hope you find something more to your liking.

Well there already was, WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, which were both amazing, especially F/WS.

So whatever the reveal is tomorrow they just confirmed it's not SDCC exclusives.

Probably because the "multiverse" in Dr Strange seems to be referring to parallel dimensions of existence and not total alternate realities. While the Ancient One talks about there being a "multiverse," all that we actually see in the movie is the Dark Dimension as being not "our reality" but the Dark Dimension isn't a totally separate entity since each reality should have one attached to it. I hope that made a little sense at least.

Wasn't the scuttlebutt that it was to be the FF retro wave? I'm pretty sure they plan to tease out anticipation for SDCC as long as possible as, beside the recent addition of Haslab, it's their most weighty perennial reveal. The pandemic served to slightly diminish the reveal last year, but it was still one of the most well received of 2020's offerings.

Welp the Haslab cat is out of the bag.

I'm ready.

Captain Nash · 07-15-2021, 05:57 PM

No surprise there, but I wonder how much it'll be. I'm definitely not getting, I'm fine with the MU one, but I know that unlike the Sentinel it won't be an army builder so most people will probably just get one. Looking forward to seeing it tomorrow even if I'm not getting it.

Jeez. I'll have to see what I can sell I guess. My collection has too much of a history with Galactus to not get him. Back in 2012 when I entered the line it was with the hope that I would one day complete the inaugural Build-a-figure, Galactus. To this day I never did because I believed that at some point a newer better bigger Galactus would happen. I hope this it.

The giant Haslab Sentinels never impressed me because the MU versions were good enough IMO. But I always thought the MU version of Galactus was too small... a giant Galactus would definitely be more impressive.

redfox · 07-15-2021, 07:18 PM

In regards to a HasLab Galactus, I think I'm more excited about the potential add-on figures. They gotta be releasing a few of his heralds as unlockable tiers.

Same with the sentinels. Galactus though, I'm hesitant to say where I land on that for some reason. On paper I'd like Galactus to be really big but thinking practically it's more space conservative and easier on the wallet to have one as big as the MU release (which is still considerably larger than Toybiz's BAF).

First off, I feel like Silver Surfer shouldn't be included because he's already only been available as an exclusive and throwing him in with a Haslab release seems to suggest that he'll never be mass released. For real though, Firelord is first thought and he'd be easy to put together too. Stardust would also be nice but she would require an entirely new body. Frankie Raye Nova would be similarly easy like Firelord.

Same thinking on Silver Surfer. I have no doubt that we'll seem him released on a retro card soon. He'd have no issue at retail.

Firelord was also my first involuntary thought as a pack-in. Frankie Raye Nova & Air-Walker were my two runner-ups. Nova would be such an easy Marvel Legends to put together, I hope that works in her favor. Also, I'll definitely take a Stardust, if she's offered-up!

Dr Kain · 07-15-2021, 09:08 PM

So how much do you think Hasbro is going to sell Galactus at? I don't see him being any more than $200 as it's not like he is going to need the same amount of tooling that the Sentinels needed.

TheBlueMarvel · 07-15-2021, 09:41 PM

Must haves:
- Nova
- Firelord

Incredible add-on's:
- Air-Walker
- Stardust
- Red-Shift
- Morg
- Terrax (size correction)

Wildest dreams:
- Fallen One
- Tyrant (deluxe)
- Alpha Ray (deluxe)
- The Destroyer (deluxe)
- Anti-Man

Hasbro, make this list and I'm all in.

Similar to what has been said, I never nabbed the BAF as it was far too small. Honestly, this HasLab will also be too small, but still the improvement I've wanted.

I've been waiting for the heralds along with others for quite a while -

Thor Laserpunch · 07-15-2021, 10:00 PM

It would be so Hasbroey to make super delectable lust-afterable heralds like Air-Walker, Nova, & Firelord available only to those that plonk down 5 hunnit beans for a toy that is so huge it has the ability to end relationships because it has to go in the family room where it’s a constant reminder to your significant other that you prefer living in a fantasy world. And if that happens to you, listen—FUCK ‘EM. You’re better off alone than with someone who’s gonna be a petty tart cuzza your youthful exuberance. What was my point? Oh yeah, congratulations Hasbro. You win.

While I was typing out all that nonsense, I got this great idea to make a Galactus cat condo. So now I guess I’ll just go have a look on etsy and see if anyone’s already done that.

Ryan did tweet asking collectors about "Premium Roleplay?" just after revealing the Modok figure then posting this pic
