That's true. and it's okay if he does. Even with four of the figures (or slight tweaks thereof) being released from the pack, the main reason I bought it still would be the unreleased figure. :p

-----------------------------------

Unrelated: who else thinks it's very likely that one of the two BAF for the Avengers waves (assuming there will be two waves if not more) will be Lockjaw? Given that he's about the only thing with positive word from the Inhumans series thus far, I think it's possible. They know we've been dogging them for a lockjaw for years now. It would be...inhumane not to give him to us.

in relation to your inhumans comment, hasbro seem to be doing very little with it, i reckon if marvel made it as a movie rather than a series it would be better, giving them a whole wave.

Medusa being a walmart or walgreens exclusive and black bolt being part of black panther wave.
I really doubt we shall more of the inhumans , unless they are going to treat them like the fantastic 4 , but lockjaw i think kinda has to be a BAF for him to be the right size, or be part of an con exclusive figure.

it's really kind of a shame. I'm not a huge inhumans fan but I know they have a following for sure. We have the two (three if you count Kamala) inhumans already....I wish we could at least get Lockjaw, Crystal and Maximus.

But you're right...I'm not sure how far Marvel is going to go with it. The "plan" to replace the X-Men with Inhumans in the comics failed spectacularly, and the show is just about the first thing I've seen from the MCU that has gotten bad reviews..been a few with tepid reviews but this has been outright negative.

I wouldn't be shocked to get Crystal in an Avengers wave or even as part of the Walgreens FF stuff

I imagine if Black Bolt and Medusa do well enough Hasbro will do more Inhumans. It'd be easy to slip Crystal into an Avengers wave.

What's the edition size of the A-Force set?

I'm an Inhumans fan and I would love to see Karnak, Triton and Gorgon eventually. Lockjaw is a must as a BAF.. He's drawn as fairly massive in the comics. I do feel Crystal will be seen in the FF or Avengers line.
Of course I'm a bigger X-men fan and I'm glad for the reveal of the rest of the figures. I'm pumped about Madrox and Sabertooth!!

[QUOTE=Parademon1;727476]While i value your opinion and your fondness for bronze age Marvel comics, the fact of the matter is Gladiator would have been better in GOTG wave.. i feel he's a wasted slot for a good X character.....yes of course i've seen the whole Phoenix saga when they made the cartoon version back in the 90s.

gladiator was already released for a SDCC release i believe 3 years ago.

Also NO,i never read any 70s era claremont X-men run. However im fully aware tge whole story arc.

I can't wait for Sabretooth.

Hmmm, interesting choices, but not necessarily my top picks. Going to hold out hope for an unannounced 2018 X-men two-pack.
I'm wondering if Hasbro will attempt the Classic Sabretooth or the more recent Axis/Hero Sabretooth.

Normally I prefer classic outfits, but I kinda like Magneto's Marvel Now costume.

[QUOTE=donmeca2020;727580]Not that you have to or anything but I highly recommended reading the phoenix and dark phoenix saga. It's pretty classic. Not that not doing so doesn't make you any less of a fan or anything.

To note to the comment you commented to (which should be noted was not from Boy Blunder, he was commenting on it as well, I have never understood the judging of people's being fans by what stories they've read, how long they've read or what characters they do or do not know.....if you read and like what you have read and know, you're a fan. What you haven't read and don't know about doesn't devalue that at all - which isn't to say that people can't recommend them to you, just that it's not needed to get all judgemental about it. I'm a 30 year reader of Marvel comics, but that's mainly been X-men and Avengers. Only recently have I gotten into the other corners, Spider-man and Daredevil mostly. So there might be characters and stories that are A list for those corners, that I may not be aware of. It doesn't negate my years of reading other stories.

while i agree he'd have a better fit with Cosmic characters. I don't give a crap what wave he's in...I'M GLAD we're getting him. I've wanted that figure, but of course...the price was always a factor.

Hope the red chick in the guard gets made. Shes cool. And the baf could be that green dude in the robot armor.

[QUOTE=Captain Nash;727598]Everything you just said is valid. This was brought up a little white ago, and I'll say the same thing this time. Collect what you want, read and watch what you want to. To quote a VERY good friend of mine from a couple of Mondays ago..."It's better to keep your mouth shut and let people think your stupid, than open it and prove them right."

Hussar and Warstar? They are my favourite imperials.

And Oracle, Manta, Smasher and Starbolt! Aside from Oracle and Gladiator I think Manta has always been my favorite, I just love her design.

[QUOTE=Captain Nash;727598]It's always been on my To-Do list. See i've basically been into the street Characters majority of my years of comic reading. I started in the late 80s, i always been fond of Spider-man and his villians. Other then Wolverine and incredible hulk, i really never read any of the team books.... they just never struck my interest enough. Even to current marvel series i still stick with Amazing, scarlet spider, venom and old man logan. Just my taste i guess.. i recently got into daredevil and moon knight. I think they're both super awesome characters. I still haven't dove into any if their older stuff yet.

However it's known everywhere the claremont era was the best. I never once thought it was bad.

Yah them. I can never friggin' remember their names.

Gladiator better be a re-release of the SDCC one. Not a re-painted one. Classic Mags with a non helmeted version as I believe a removable helmet would look bad & probably be loose fitting. Rather they just make a sculpted helmeted version & non helmet head. Sabretooth will most likely be a Jim Lee version which I'm cool with considering the TB version was aweful, too big & floppy & over articulated with all those big claw hands. The TB version of the 1st app classic version is still the best version which I own. The modern Sabes that Hasbro made is cool as well. So either a classic version or a revamped Jim Lee version will suffice.

As for those whining about my comment to Donmecca2020, oh well. I'm a NYer, we're blunt. That's how we roll. No lefty snowflake here.

Politics have nothing to do with this. That's a whack and common 2017 excuse. How about instead of putting people down because they don't know about something, you help build them up by pointing them in the right direction. We're all here because we have a common hobby. Marvel Legends and other figures are what we love and spend our money on. No one comes here to be put down because they don't know the 100 percent full details of an Arc. Help them out and maybe they just might see things a little different.

Me too! Manta and Nightside have always been my favorite members of the Guard

I'll leave that to you all mighty T'Challa.

went to TRU yesterdy and saw Blade but i dont want him, i prefer the movie version.
