just Ultron and darkstar for me then, and that’s probably the one that has the most chance of being wrong.

It’s not like we need a new Mandarin more than 3 iron man designs in one wave or anything.

I would be 100% OK with that line-up. Need at least two Guardsmen!

Odd line-up, but that’s pretty much expected. Modular Armor is a completely logical variant, as is Stealth Armor. Hologram Armor feels odd, but I’ll need to see it before I pass judgment. Ironheart makes perfect sense with the series coming. Guardsman is cool, I was hoping we would see another villain or two besides him & Ultron. Darkstar is weird, but I’ll absolutely take her. Seems like Ultron & the Modular Armor (which is probably at least mostly a new sculpt) got a lot of the wave’s tooling budget. Guardsman & Darkstar are most likely new heads on existing bodies (maybe some new add-ons for Guardsman), and Stealth Iron Man is a straight repaint. I’ll definitely pick up Ultron & Darkstar, along with Guardsman & the stealth suit, depending on how they turn out. Darkstar & Crimson Dynamo indicate to me that they’re sort of working on the Winter Guard, so hopefully Ursa Major is coming.

I've been waiting for Darkstar and GuardsmEn for a long time. Ultron makes three and my rubicon crossed; all in...

Interested to see how many people army-build Guardsmen, versus having a singular Guardsman for the display. Wonder if they’ll offer them as a pulse exclusive at some point.

Hasbro didn't cancel my pre-order on the Deluxe Toxin. So I have an extra if anyone needs. Asking $40 total (price + shipping).

If Jay C's rumours are true, I'll be delighted. Ultron and Guardsman can both be army builders, very clever of Hasbro.
I've always liked Darkstar from the Champions, to the Hulk issues to the X-men and of course her own mini-series. Must re-read that.
I will certainly re-sell the iron Mans (men?) if I want the BAF, as I feel it will be Crimson Dynamo or Titanium Man - as this wave as a whiff or Armor wars- but I would say prefer Ursa Major as he's awesome, but I very much doubt it.
And Iron Heart, I keep meaning to read her own series, if she comes with a giant Afro, I am getting two.
And going back to the Eternals wave, I rather like them. I would a hundred percent prefer the comic version, but because it will be 10 figures (plus more than likely a Thena/Black Knight pack), I think they would look awesome on their own as some sort of mythic classic theme. I just won't mix them with my comic characters.
I am very much looking to Eternals, Black Widow and Shang-Chi films. I miss marvel movies.
And I am beyond static that they are doing the FF. Just hoping they don't mess up the casting. I love diversity, but in this instance I need them to look like their counterparts. And if I was writing the script, I would choose Psycho-man. I always found him quite scary and creepy.

These guys arrived about an hour ago:

And now that they have arrived, I've taken some updated pictures of my Legends collection. I just need some Hand Ninjas and MODOK to complete my DareDevil and Captain America shelves (for now).

^ Gee whiz that's a nice setup you got going. I don't think your Sentinels are gonna fit though.

Darkstar?!?
Bizarre. Still..... I'd buy a Modular Armor and an ACCURATE Stealth armor.
Don't think we've ever had either in 6" or 4"...

Instead of Darkstar, they should make Jack of Hearts. He was Tony's only ever partner/teen sidekick. Yes, really.
Also an Avenger voted least likely to be made.

I will always, always, always champion the need for a Jack of Hearts figure. StarLord67’s custom of him that was shown on the board a couple months back got me thinking about how cool looking Jack would be as a Legends figure. I had figured Tigra would show up in this wave, due to her less tenuous connections to Iron Man, and the tail tease, Also, that is one hell of a nice set-up, Doc Kain.

Darkstar is an obvious budget saver character who can be made without much new tooling. She'd basically just be a new head on an existing body with painted on costume detail.

Given several of the figures there would require brand new sculpts (Modular Iron Man, Ironheart and Ultron; possibly hologram armor as well), it's not surprising.

If this is true I really hope Ultron is the double-packed figure. I know Guardsman has the potential to be army bought into Guardsmen but Ultron can be an army builder too and he's the more popular character. Realistically it will probably be modular Iron Man but I suspect most fans would prefer Ultron be easier to get.

It's be nice if they scrapped Stealth or Hologram Iron Man (what even is that gonna be? A translucent version of whatever new armor he has?) And made it a 6 figure wave with Ultron AND the Guardsman being double packed.

They've been too good to us lately so apparently doing that would just be pushing it. Regarding the hologram armor, my guess is that it's the suit from the Iron Man 2020 series (the 6 issue mini-series from this year) which appeared over Tony like a hologram.

I am totally in for a Darkstar if the rumor is true. I hope that they don't skip the accesories fir her. With her ability to shape darkforce energy all Hasbro needs to do is pack in any black colored effect!

I know its a small complaint but I really feel Hasbro is skimping on the effects accessories for a lot of their upcoming waves. Magneto and Marvel Girl really needed energy effects in the HoX wave. We don't know how their powers are going to look yet but almost all of the Eternals lack accessories or effects. It makes me wish Hasbro had broken up the Eternals wave into 2 waves so they could have added some figures that didn't need all brand new tooling and use some of their budget for cool effects. I'm assuming with how different each Eternal is that that is where the budget for that wave went but 90's Avengers Dane and Sersi could of reused a lot of already tooled parts and freed up some of that budget.

I'll be getting 6-8 Guardsmen, Ultron, Darkstar & Stealth IM. And if BAF is classic Ursa Major, T-Man or 80s CD, they mine! Could care less for RiRi, Hologram IM or Modular IM.

They will, I'll just replacing the old ones with the new ones. Granted, I'll probably have to spread them into two cases instead of one thanks to Galactus, but I already looked at the length and those cases could almost fit two of those Sentinels stacked on top of each other, which is taller than the new ones. And if not, there are other alternatives. We're also hoping to possibly buy a house next summer instead of renewing out apartment lease, so I might even have a bigger display area once I were to have them in hand.

My guess for hologram Ironman... the modern suit with the hologram head.lolz.

Why Darkstar for an Iron Man wave though?

I'm in for Darkstar. I'd take the stealth and 90's armor too. Honestly, they are the last of 2 (or 3) armors that I want. So fingers crossed!

My guess is do they can pair her with the BAF, who could be another russian character. Titanium Man perhaps?

I’ve seen this theory suggested elsewhere: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9c2ff9112d.jpg
... with this then included as an alternate head: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a58c20ce13.jpg

All of my Amazon Exclusive orders have a selection to ship in an Amazon box. If anyone ordered the Children of Thanos set or anything else and you want it shipped with an outer box, make sure to have that option selected. Otherwise cancel the order and reorder the item with it selected. I had to do that last night just in case.

So if I'm counting/suspecting right we're going to have 10-12 waves next year, right?

1 wave for each of the 4 movies. Black Widow may just be a rerelease or may not get one so that would be 3-4 waves right there. Of course, if there's further movie delays that can change this section.

Iron Man wave
Retro wave (suspected to be F4)
2 Disney+ waves
HOX/POX
Stilt Man wave (though that's shipping this month in places, it's technically a 2021 wave, and if it's not counted, then there will undoubtedly be another Spider-Man wave in the summer anyways as we know that there will be one with the movie.
Bring On the Bad Guys
*Likely another X-Men themed wave, be it AoA, a standard wave, vintage or Deadpool or some other theme.

That's a lot. And yet some of the reveals and rumors are already lacking for me personally. Sure I ordered the HOX wave, but the Iron Man and BOTBG wave rumors are leaving me with just a few figures I'd want. I'm probably passing on the MCU/Disney Plus+ figures though there may be some comic figures in there. F4 wave I'm...uneasy on, for reasons I've expressed in the past.

Is anyone else feeling like there's going to be a ton of product yet at the same time it's already shaping up to be disappointing? Like we hit the nadir of Marvel Legends from 2016-2020?
