I like the new "Secret Wars" Iceman, I'll definitely get him some day. I hope this means the rumored second "Secret Wars" wave with Absorbing Man, Constrictor, Daredevil, Falcon and Spider-Man, along with an unknown sixth figure, will be revealed at a fall convention. I still want characters like the Hulk, Thor, Wasp, Cyclops, Colossus, Magneto, a better classic Doctor Doom, Doc Ock with bendable wire tentacles, Volcana and any of the Wrecking Crew on the "Secret Wars" packaging. I'd settle for two-packs, like Spider-Man with Doc Ock and Iron Man with Kang.

The only Legends I want most are the Storm, Mystique and Mysterio and, unfortunately, I doubt I'll be able to get all of them successfully pre-ordered. I might have better luck with Mysterio, but I'm sure the two ladies will sell out in the first hour and never go back up for pre-order. I hope I'm wrong.

For Hulk, the grinning face on MAXI HULK looks a lot like HULK when he was holding up the mountain. The new two pack Cyclops is perfect for Secret Wars. We do need Thor, Wasp, Colossus, Magneto, Mohawk Storm, Doc Ock and the Wrecking crew for sure. I really want a Volcana too. That series was what got me into super hero comics.

@diablogunner Originally Maximum Hulk was the #1 figure I wanted most this year. Then I saw the face sculpts and it was the most disappointing Marvel Legends figure I've seen all year, so I passed on it. I still want a proper savage Hulk with better face sculpts and hair sculpts. Also, I'd really just like to see Hulk on the Secret Wars packaging since he was supposed to be in the 1984 toyline, but he got left out. There are so many characters I would love to see for "Secret Wars" that my wishlist would easily cover at least three more waves. I'm surprised Volcana hasn't been made yet. I'm also glad to see I'm not the only one who wants an updated Doctor Octopus. I missed out on the last one and I'd really like to get a non-exclusive, sold separately Doctor Octopus with bendable wire tentacles. I'd even settle for Kang, Doc Ock with bendable tentacles, Dr. Doom and Magneto so we can at least get the four villains from the 1984 Mattel toyline made.

while I'm personally fine with my Wrecking Crew figures, I can understand why some people would not be and I'm \hoping that they come in the Secret Wars line. Kind of surprised they haven't been done yet.

The figures are relatively old and outdated, which for me for these particular characters is not a big deal, but some people want better sculpes and some missed out on them completely due not being in collecting game at that point.

Wasp and Volcana make really good candidates for the female figure of the wave(6). Dont need them personally, Volcana is not a priority, and since I already have several Wasp figures, I'm good - the list of "alternate looks for existing characters in the line" is pretty short at this point.

[Veronica Mars]

I think I'd only need a SW Wasp if I was doing a dedicated SW display, which I've considered, but I'd have to get doubles of figures I already have or rearrange my existing displays neither of which I want to do

[Hulkwummy]

I hope Absorbing Man comes in his purple pants look, and Falcon in his more classic costume.

[Dr Kain]

I finally got my third case for my Marvel collection and finished getting everything on display. Well, kind of. I ended up having to put a few left overs in the corner of the DareDevil shelf as I had nowhere else to fit them. I also forgot to include Iron Spidey, DOH!!!

Amazon has moved up some of the X-men97 figures to ship tommorow

[Dr Kain]

Man, I really wish I had bought those Spider-Man VHS 2 packs.

Looks like PULSE too, 10/13 for JUBILEE & MORPH. Retro Doom moved up to 10/14 too.

I got an email about Doom last week, and everyone but Emma in the 97 wave. Also Amazon says Iron MJ is being delivered Monday

Did anyone else notice they used the Walgreens Mystique head on the Target retro, but the all the art on the package has the VHS Mystique head?

I would have preferred the head in the art. It seems Hasbro gives zero shits about being accurate to anything.

Given I never saw the packaging for Mystique outside of the front cover, no, I didn't notice that.

It's not the first time they showed Mystique wrong on the package as their shots of the animated one had double jointed arms while the actual figure did not.

Yeah, noticed this a bit back. Would have been nice to have just included both versions of Mystique. I get what they're doing with the additional Black Queen Jean head, but I'll never actually use it with the Mystique figure.

[Dr Kain]

Yeah, I don't get the point of giving us a Jean head with Mystique. Shouldn't that hve been packed with the 97 Emma?

Why not include an unmasked Destiny head?

I received the Mandarin Extremis Iron Man 2 pack this morning. I said a few weeks back that I'd be ok with a suited Mandarin making the pickup a no brainer, but I was also curious about the retooled Extremis armor (my fav IM suit). While the only true upgrades on the buck are to the neck and shoulders, I'm happy I nabbed it as it is an improvement that works well for people that like posing figures. Hasbro seems to be at work creating new options for shoulder and neck articulation and balancing the aesthetics of form with the utility of function. The neck has a lower ball-hinge that also allows for swivel articulation. It improves the range of motion and, while we have seen this feature on other figs, Hasbro appears to be perfecting the execution of the joint. The shoulders are a complete overhaul of the butterfly joint. The figure features a deeply set butterfly with a textured cuff surrounding the peg which is abnormally long. The result is pretty successful IMO. I definitely recommend picking the fig up on resale, which I anticipate reasonable prices for given that most will assume the buck hasn't changed from the previous iteration of the Extremis armor.

Edit: I neglected to mention that Mandarin is ok. The head sculpts are fair and they've added a new tie and quarter length coat.
