When you look at recent X-men fig success, it has been achieved largely on the strength of comic fandom. All the characters are comic canon with nary an MCU to be found (Old Man Logan was the closest, but not really). I'll give you that there has been some timing that's coincided with the films, but the numbers of movie-fan tie-in buyers are likely marginal since virtually all of the selected characters are unrecognizable to the casual fan. I see the Fantastic Four succeeding in a similar fashion. If the open secret moratorium on Marvel properties not in the the stable of Marvel Studios is over, which it appears to be, then I can't see any reason preventing green lighting FF figs. If I have a Titus, I can have a Kl'rt. I have a Darkhawk, I can also have a Silver Surfer. I truly suspect good news is coming on the FF front.

So apparentely that Cosmic Spidey is not just a Spider-Verse character but was actually Peter Parker at some point?

Nice collection and display! I love how you have all the figures sectioned off by the movies/phases of the MCU. Looks great!

Oh, and even though some have been able to snag it because it was put on the shelves early, some are reporting that managers aren't selling them that dark phoenix 2pack because it has a street date of 8/1.

Several ongoing comic book series, a recenct string of successful movies (although I didn't care for AoA that much), and three different cartoon series that are avaible on disc, digital, or streaming. The Fantastic Four aren't that lucky right now since their comic has been canceled, the movies haven't been that great, and the only FF cartoon series available for purchase is the one from 1994. The Fantastic Four need representation of some kind. A new animated series could pull in a lot of new fans and get people excited for new toys. Believe me, I want Hasbro to start making FF Legends. Especially if they gave us interchangeable parts to show off their powers in use like the Fantastic Four minimates from a few years ago did (I know they're from a different company but those minimates are still pretty cool). And more importantly, I NEED a new figure of The Thing.

Ah Jack'O Lantern, the villain I thought that looked pretty cool and was going to be a cool villain, especially since he became the Hobogoblin I grew up with, and the dude turned out to be nothing more than a complete worthless weakling in the issue I just recently read. To say I was disappointed is an under statement.

There will be part reuse for both, of course. But Cyclops should have boot cuffs (probably donated from some Cap fig - Zemo/Bucky Cap, maybe) and the cowl & visor should be different (maybe they'll use the First Class Box Set Cyclops? - that may work if they don't go the retool route). And as you said, the Dark Phoenix heads are new.

Dark Phoenix also has flat feet, rather than the wedge-heels that standard Phoenix has.

1. SpiderMan (MCU\SU) - meh. Actually looks like it could be from a non-Legends line. Could have been a pass.
2. SpiderMan-Homemade suit - meh. Unless the movie makes this worthy, it's another one that could have been a pass.
3. Cosmic SpiderMan - I actually like this one and am keeping the non spidey head, the one the matches the suit, on the body.
4. Beetle - Another one I like. Gonna put him on a flight stand.
5. Vulture - This figure is actually okay as well, with the BAF wings. Now I see why they had to be so light (cheap feeling) or else this thing would have been way too heavy. I'd like to get this suspended in air. Plus I like building up the movie universe characters.
6. Tombstone - He's okay. Good addition for part of the Spidey Criminals. Never followed him to heavy in the comics.
7. Moon Knight - I know everyone likes this one. But I'm not a huge fan. Don't really know this costume all that well and it looks a smidge cheesey to me.

I haven't gotten anybody but moon knight so far, however i wish tombstone had a black suit on or his 90s grey bdu pants with black shirt. This collared suit with the hugh chest opening kinda looks ehh to me.
