I'm not so sure if it had anything to do with Hasbro. During the script writing phase of Iron Man 3, the original villain was intended to be female, but it was not allowed to get the green light unless the gender was swapped.

Quote from Shane Black: “We had finished the script and we were given a no holds barred memo saying that cannot stand and we’ve changed our minds because, after consulting, we’ve decided that toy won’t sell as well if it’s a female. So, we had to change the entire script because of toy-making. Now, that’s not [Marvel Studios president Kevin] Feige. That’s Marvel corporate.”

And we got no im 3 villians. No aldrich killian....no fake mandarin. Sooooooooooo....yah brilliant move there marvel.

I'm getting Moon Knight envy here !! Lol

He is a spectacular figure. Yes, a classic would've been nice but this one rocks. One of my favorite MLs this year.

That sounds entirely in-character for Ike Perlmutter (the "Marvel corporate" Shane Black was referring to). He's allegedly also the one who made sure there were few or no Black Widow figures for the first Avengers movie, amongst many other dumb decisions.

Glad he's left the movie section. Go take a swim in the La Brea Tar Pits, Perlmutter.

Oh, well shit. That's really fucked up.

Really infuriating too because I intensely dislike IM3. I wonder if Tony's ex who was helping Killian was the original villain.

Accurate.

Yeah I hope it is the MCU ones. Tom Hiddleston is a Perfect Loki he is my favorite villain of all the Mcu guys. And Hela I will take any new MCU character in action figure form

I hope this list is Real or at least some of them. Like the Mysterio, black widow Motorcycle pack hope that's The MCU black widow, also lizard and The Ant man and Pym two pack

Word!!!

Yeah, I'm not a big fan. IMO, it's kinda haphazard and all over the place. Apparently there were alot of changes and re-writes as the film progressed. Rebecca Hall, the actress who played Maya Hansen, later said that the role she signed-on to and role she played were drastically different:

“I signed on to do something that was a substantial role. She wasn’t entirely the villain – there have been several phases of this – but I signed on to do something very different to what I ended up doing. Halfway through shooting they were basically like, ‘What would you think if you just got shot out of nowhere?’ I was meant to be in the movie until the end… I grappled with them for a while and then I said, ‘Well, you have to give me a decent death scene and you have to give me one more scene with Iron Man,’ which Robert Downey Jr. supported me on.”

Hiddleston's Loki has been great, and a major influence on his comic counterpart. Regarding Hela, her MCU costume is spot-on for 616 comics, and the inclusion of the scupted costume details that MCU figures have would put it ahead of the current comic figure.

I can't believe that Black Panther wave is accurate. Four MCU figures in a wave when Thor Ragnarok is getting two? I don't see that happening. Not to mention that there is no Leopard or Siberian Tiger in the film as far as we know

Ghost Rider with a bike would be amazing, but I don't see it happening. Sad at the serious lack of X-Men.

Yeah, I can definitely see that. Her character didn't really go anywhere, and her death seemed so out of nowhere. I felt like she was built up to be a much bigger character at the beginning of the movie...

*sigh* I wish we could get an Iron Man 4 as a proper conclusion. Maybe we'll get it after Infinity War. Rob's been playing the character a long time across many movies, he deserves a good send off.

The names in these listings, legit or not, are frequently inaccurate. Early leaked listings had Enchantress in the Dr Strange wave listed as "ancient one," a mislabel which some store systems kept, and early listings for the Homecoming wave listed a "dead meat" figure which is actually the MCU Vulture. "Leopard" or "Siberian Tiger" could turn out to be any number of things other than what these leaks suggest. Don't lose out all hope for the wave yet.

I can't look at these listings with any legitimacy until we have some UPCs to go with them (I think those are the numbers? I'm tired as hell, so forgive me if they're not). Until then, this falls into the territory coined on TFW as "He Tell Me" rumors.

TFW? Wuzzat

True enough.

I'd like to think the Black Widow with motorcycle is accurate too but I really doubt it. If it is, comic or MCU do you think?

Yeah I know what you mean and I had to look up to see what Hela's costume looked like and it. It looks fairly good like you said it looks like a exact Updated 616 outfit. I'm looking forward to see what the figure looks like

Kate Blanchette with long black hair, smokey eyes and tight black leather...........thats all the motivation i need to see thor 3.

Hated the giant head on ultimate petey so swapped it out with the old toy biz version ( a cast head I painted) and an unmasked Eddie "Toxin" Brock.

Man thing as the BaF in the Netflix wave stands out as a WTF kind of thing. I hope Strong Guy is legit and not a MCU Colossus.

Very nice! I gotta start looking for comic and toy shows around here.

Remember as of now, he's Venom again !!

I doubt that list of figures is accurate. It's a little too wish listy. On the subject of the Lizard, I want a new figure of him but it needs to be the Mcfarlane version. The past couple of Lizard figures Hasbro did in their Spiderman line looked like iguanas.

Kate Blanchette? She looks like Every Teacher I had in High School as a kid. She is all yours Hahaha

Nice use of Windrix's Head. This is Pretty awesome man
