Muscular guy in pants? :D As that was the "leak" for what ended up being the Sasquatch wave. IF that were actually true I'd say either Warpath or Strong Guy.

what are Paladin's powers and back story?

serious overkill already with the deadpool..
even though they might look great ;o)
that 90's DP is a straight winner.!!

Agree, I'm kind of surprised by a second wave, which I know is still rumored...but if it turns out to be true...yet if it gives us more X-Men related figures that's great. Though the offerings of Deadpool variants will likely get of people's nerves if they're not fans of the character, such as myself. But Hasbro's gonna go with what sells.

Paladin (Earth-616 | Marvel Database | FANDOM powered by Wikia)

Paladin is like dp but with less powers. that link said he was hired by the Mob to kill Punisher and didnt succeed :p Punisher whipped Paladin's ass, haha!

an MCU version would be tiiiight though...

I am please at least one of the DP don't have a part of Sasquatch. Hoping I can get the Sasquatch head on its on and not having to buy another DP. I like him alright, but I don't need a million Deadpools in my displays...no room.
Domino looks a vast improvement, even if it's mostly a Mockingbird repaint. Belt looks good. And I don't mind the purple guns. Don't need comic characters that realistic.
I'm actually one of the few people that likes Paladin, but I would loved his classic duds from the Marvel-two -inOne days.
X-23 is very much needed as my old ones look too outdated. Cable looks like the figure that got the most love. Again not a huge fan of the 90's characters but, I've learned to like him. Thou now I'm pining for Boom Boom, Warpath (or better yet, Thunderbird), Siryn and Rictor (I still despise that Wolfsbane rip-off, Feral)
I just wish they started dripping New Mutants and Alpha Flight with characters that never ever had a figure, and yes, that includes Marrina and Karma, two characters that had great beginnings, and the occasional good runs ( Marrina at the beginning of AF and in the latest mini-series, Karma in the Asgard specials, and later in Astonishing).

About the leaks...I like my Bishop from TB, but he was quite big, so I understand an update. Omega Red I have no love for, but I love villains displays and I never got the previous one, so I will get him. Of all the X-men still needed, besides New mutants, this are the ones I loved to see before I grab my pension:
Thunderbird
Mimic
Changeling
New Banshee with two heads.
Monet
Sage
The Starjammers (specially Hepzibah)
Marrow
Cecilia Reyes (I love having more diversity in my displays)
Forge need an update, even if I'm not a huge fan.
Dazzler as drawn by Marc Silvestry
Psylocke in her pink number
Husk would be nice, with two heads at least.
Of the new ones I'm fond of Dust and Stepford Cuckoos, and Beak too.
And we are in sore need of a d cent Rachel, either Excalibur or Phoenix outfit (please, no Prestige, it's revolting)

Also since Madrox is coming, now I want Strong Guy and Meggan for Excalibur. It will be nice to complete classic line-ups.

And finally for villains I would love to see the Hellfire Club, including, Shaw, Pierce, Selene, Leland, and an evil White Queen, which of course can be repainted as Tessa.

What would be your choices?

I choose that, mostly. I would cut off a pinky finger as an offering to get that as an SDCC set (since I know it wouldn't make it to mass retail.) I'm almost not kidding.

Let's see...New Mutants yes, OMG yes. please.

My top X-wants are:

1. Selene
2. Moonstar
surprisingly n ow that Madrox is being made, these are the only two in my top 10 wants that are X-Men related. However...
3. Sauron
4. Exodus
5. Sebastian Shaw
6. Shadow King
7. Marrow
8. Syrin
9. Blink
10. Sunspot
11. Nimrod
12. Vulcan
13. Monet
14. Cecelia Reyes
15. Madelyne Pryor
16. Elixir
17. Hellion
18. Callisto

Not taking into account redos and new costumes...that's pretty much it. If these all got made and were the only "brand new" never made characters we got from the x-line I would absolutely okay with not having any others. Ton of redos though. Mostly 90's Jim Lee Storm. ;)

I would like if Hasbro would complete as many MU teams as possible. AF needs completion. Need X-factor, X-force, New Mutants, classic, X-men Blue/Gold teams, 1st app 75' X-men, classic Avengers, classic Defenders, Imperial guard, Squadron Supreme, classic GOTG, Serpent Society, Masters of Evil, StarJammers, Brotherhood of evil mutants, classic Invaders & a new set of in scale classic Wrecking crew figures!

leaked info

I hate how red deadpool doesnt come with a gun or extra shit since hes the bafless fig. Hasbro definitely gettin chinsey. I wish the baf had been colossonaut instead of naked hairy guy.

That being said....GIMME GIMME GIMME!

Awesome, can't wait to see the finished product.

@Captain Nash:
I'm curious at what Shadow King shape would you prefer...Ahmal Farouk, or the more ever changing astral shapes. Can you imagine Karma as Ahmal? Ala Sienkiewicks? Lol.

Callisto, yes! Way overdue. Madeleine in her aviator or Evenans Goblyn Queen would be good.
Can't care at all about Exodus, but Elixir would be quite striking in a shelf. Maybe even the Hulk's Glorian or Superion?

@Parademon1:
Defenders needs Clea, Nighthawk, Gargoyle, Son Of Satan, Red Guardian II, Devil Slayer and Cloud.
Imperial Guard would be nice a few core and most original characters, like Oracle, Fang, Warstar, Hussar, Manta etc. But IG, as Squadron and Serpent Society have so many members that we may never see them all.
The Invaders are favourite of mine. Would love a faceless Human Torch, Miss America and Whizzer, Spitfire, and, even if I love my Union Jack, an update would be welcome. Not to forget Baron Blood. Thou I don't ever hope to see Mester Man and Superior Woman. Too nazi looking.
Finally I have Wrecking Crew fatigue, as it took so long to get the fourth member. Give it 5 years, and I might have recover by then.

I would like the astral plane shadow King -- something truly horrific looking like in Psy War (late 90's story when he faced off against Psylocke). Farouk would do but it would definitely be a let down. Nooo to SK influence Karma! LOL

Not sure who Glorian or Superion are so I can't comment on that...only Superion I know is the Transformers combiner :D

I still use the Toybiz ShadowKing that came with the 5in Age of Apocalypse figures as my go-to ShadowKing. Nothing super spectacular but a fun was to display him.

Target only has one DCPI # per wave, though.

^ It would be amazing if they changed it after all these years though... can't stand people who buy the popular figs from Target and return crap figs from the same wave with the receipt.

The Dark one, thank you for this 2 pack, hope to do more biz with you in the future...Now, let me rub it in my brother’s face that I got this 2 pack before him...LOL!

I want an Astral Plane armor Shadow King.

anytime chief....

@Captain Nash:

Oh yes, I remember that Psy-war in the astral plane with Psylocke. That was a good run.

@EvilMonkeyPope

I love that psychic armor on Professor X, remember it from the X-Men/Micronauts limited series. That would make an awesome Prof. X.

Lol. If I'm not mistaken (probably am) the others have at least had their own comic series. I only really remember Paladin from Silver Sable #1 back in the early 90s.

For X-men I'd love some Toy Biz 5" redos of

Trevor Fitzroy
Maverick
Bonecrusher
Grizzly
Kane
Strong Guy

I loved these figures on site. I would think they would make amazing ML's
