Since there are supposed to be a couple more Wolverine 2 packs, I'd like one of them to be Wolverine and Rogue from Uncanny X-Men 173. It'd give us a pinless brown costume Wolverine and a Rogue that many of us have been wanting. Plus, it'd be a nice tie in for the Secret Wars wave without using any of the 6 slots on either of those two.



I honestly don't know how they're going to pick a wave of 6 figures from a cast of 30+ characters. Out of the villains, a new Absorbing Man and Titania seem the most likely. I feel like the Wrecking Crew would be better served in one of the rumored multipacks.

Out of the heroes, I feel like there are several that could get obligatory releases such as Symbiote Spider-Man. They'd sell well but I don't want to see slots needlessly taken by them. She-Hulk in her F4 uniform would be good since she'd rep both the Avengers and F4. I also feel like they'll include one of the X-Men. Most could use updates and would be fine in an X-wave. But the 80th Colossus hasn't been used much and out of all the X-Men in SW, I remember Colossus being featured a bit more.

Yes please.

While I'm excited for a rumored Secret Wars throwback wave, I'd love to actually see some re-releases of the OF figures and maybe some new ones. That recent line of smaller figures would have gotten me if they matched the style of the original SW figures. But hey, it's the 4oth anniversary. Anything can happen!

Yeah, I've amassed quite a few options for blood effects, and I've been experimenting with them for the grittier heroes/villains.

As far as the glow is concerned, I have directed lighting that can result in some funky accents. Everything for me is practice and trial and error, I’ll figure (hah!) it out at some point..

Trial and error is the best way to learn! I was taking some pictures of my Morstorm Black Widow kit (I guess that fits here too).



Then I dropped her, and when I picked her up, her body was arched back, I liked it so much I just kept it!

I could see a new version of that Cyclops, we've only gotten the one from the Dark Phoenix 2 pack, and maybe a pinless, double jointed mohawk Storm, the can reuse the 97 head for that

I think some of you are expecting far too much out of this leaked Secret War wave. If one were to go off this roster shot alone, I can very easily see Hasbro just giving us the hits: Cap, Thor, Iron Man, both Spideys (or at least Black Costume Spidey...since he debuted in this story) and Wolverine, along with re-releases of Lizard, Kang or Enchantress. Kang has been pushed heavily by Marvel for a bit thanks to the MCU, Lizard was formerly an exclusive who was tough for many people to get, while Enchantress hasn't been seen in a while and could stand to get some of the modern fixings such as pinless and face print tech.

Or...this wave could be where Hasbro decides to relaunch their 3.75 inch line (which were also called Marvel Legends) which was placed on a hiatus, but was never officially canceled. It'd be cool to see some new stuff...(I personally want that Rogue and She-Hulk,) but I wouldn't get my hopes up in this case as Hasbro probably will end up doing what they usually do at the end of the day.

This wave was specifically listed as six figures that are six-inches tall. If they do end up making a 3.75 inch wave for "Secret Wars", then these six figures aren't it.

I have no doubt we'll see some of the A-list characters like Captain America and Thor re-released and I would welcome Thor and Cap especially with open arms since I missed the previous figures of the classic versions of those characters. I could see some characters getting skipped due to other lines, like Wolverine for his own 50th anniversary wave and Magneto for his recent "X-Men '97" wave. I don't think Kang is on the radar at the moment due to what happened with Jonathan Majors and the film "Secret Wars" itself being pushed back. Lizard and Enchantress would both be great, especially since I never got the Wal-Mart Retro Lizard I ordered. And since we've got "mega deluxe multi packs" of Marvel Legends released this year, I hope larger characters like Hulk, the Absorbing Man, Titania and members of the Wrecking Crew make the cut. A deluxe Doc Ock with bendy wire tentacles is one of my biggest wants at the moment.

As for new characters that could end up in the "Secret Wars" wave, I'd be as excited for characters like Iron Man with a Jim Rhodes alternate head, Cyclops, Rogue, Colossus, She-Hulk and Volcana as anyone here. The main question I have is, will we see more two-packs (like the Captain Marvel and Doctor Doom two-pack from last year) and/or multi-packs or just the six figures? I'm hoping it's the former due to all of the characters from the "Secret Wars" comic event that could get made into long overdue and much needed figures. Heck, I'd even take new figures of characters from the old Mattel toyline that weren't in the comic event, like Daredevil, Falcon, Hobgoblin, Electro and Iceman.

With the exception of Magneto and Nightcrawler who both have X-Men 97 figures, all of the X-Men in Secret Wars could use an updated fig. But I picked Colossus because his 80th anniversary figure has only been used once and I don’t see Hasbro giving him an updated mold just yet. Plus, Colossus doesn’t get as many figures as the other X-Men in SW. But make no mistake, I definitely want new versions of Punk Storm and GSXM Cyclops.

If they could find a way to make the top part of Colossus's costume removable, so he could double for the Outback team

last time there were action figures of Exodus, any acolytes and Cortex were the Toybiz days.

god i miss Toybiz X-Men and X Force figures when they were abundant at stores even at the Kaybees store at the mall

[EvilMonkeyPope]

A Secret Wars line that doesn't have Titania would be worthless to me.

Can Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur get some toys this year? Thier cartoon is adorable.

Has anyone bought a soft goods trench coat for their Gambit from this eBay seller?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/12492954322...Bk9SR5SG3oakYw

Their seller rating isn't great but the coat meets the criteria that I'm looking for. GPSlot has a couple of gray ones that I'm looking at as well but I'm going to message them to see if they tried the coat on Gambit before I order. Obviously I'd prefer brown over gray. But like I said, the seller rating wasn't great for the overseas seller.

I have. I've made 13 purchases over the last few years. I've never had any issue other than late shipping the first few times. Now, whenever I buy something I drop him a message. His shipping usually takes about 2-3 days.

Those are minor issues to me. Because the product is quite good. There's another dude that stocks the same soft goods. Name is "GPSLot". But I had trouble with him.
