Some of this stuff literally just looks like someone's want list. I'm surprised there isn't more chatting about Safari Jacket Wonderman for example. That's been on wishlists since the ToyBiz days.

That's a lot of product. If this is all accurate, I think my interests are:

Ant-Man Quantumania - July
Kang

the Marvels - July
Photon


Disney+ - July
Nothing

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 - April
Nothing

Best of MCU - October
Nothing

Spider-Man: No Way Home - December
Nothing

Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse - April
Nothing - unless the TBD villain is Spot.

Avengers 60th Anniversary
Black Knight/Sersi 2-Pack - 4th QTR
Captain Marvel (Rambeau)/Dr Doom 2-Pack - 4th QTR

I'd rather them not be two packs, but I do need a comic Sersi, and Monica's Captain Marvel look is fairly essential too.

Ultimate Captain America Wave - April
the Orb - maybe...possibly...I don't know if I could resist a figure with a giant eyeball as a head.

Spider-Man Wave - August
Nothing, unless the BAF is Stegron.


X-Men '97 Wave - September
Nothing - I feel like there's no need for me to add these, even though I have other wanted looks for some of the characters.

X-Men Wave - May
Monet

(but seriously, no GSXM Banshee or Avalanche? WhatTF and WhenTF Hasbro...)

Deluxe Blob - 2nd QTR

Training Uniform 3-Pack - 2nd QTR
Forge
Storm
Jubilee

Training Uniform 3-Pack - 2nd QTR
Banshee
Gambit
Psylocke

I'd love to get these looks to be honest.

One not listed to add - vintage line. Iron Man. Mandarin. Do it Hasbro....PLEASE

@Ultra Seven - If these Rektangular leaks turn out to be true, then holy crap, we are ALL going to be broke. (Well, more broke due to the price increases, but you get the idea.)

If these leaks are indeed true, one thing I must say is that the Spider-Man reveals are underwhelming for me. Again. Don't get me wrong, I'll be buying the figures for Rose, Tarantula and the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man. But those would be it. I have no interest in the "Beyond" storyline and I hate what they did to Ben Reilly, so those Ben Reilly Spidey and Chasm figures are hard passes for me. And not one classic Spidey villain? Really? No Chameleon? No Vulture? No Mysterio with an alternate Quentin Beck head? No Kraven? Not even a comic accurate Hobgoblin or a suit-and-tie Tombstone? We're getting two movie-based Spider-Man waves and a modern-day Spidey wave and no Retro releases? Sorry, but that sucks. Also, Sandman gets a figure but Electro doesn't? Really, Hasbro? At least Doc Ock is a Deluxe and not a Build-A-Figure. Fingers crossed we get a Deluxe comic-based Doctor Octopus in either his white Armani suit or a green-and-orange re-do on a new body mold with better plastic and bendable wire tentacles finally included! (Yep, I'm going to keep saying it TILL IT HAPPENS!)

Also, I'm mixed up: will these Spider-Verse figures be the next new Spider-Man figures? Usually we get a Spider-Man wave in December/January, so if these are the next new figures, that's quite a wait. Considering the lackluster Spider-Man "60 Amazing Years" figures we got, I was hoping for some cooler Spider-Man releases.

Ultimate Captain America is also a head scratcher for me. We didn't get an 80th anniversary wave for classic Cap in 2021, but we can get an out-of-the-blue Ultimate Cap wave? I've always hated the Ultimate universe, so this irks me to no end. At least we're getting Safari Jacket Wonder Man and Molecule Man out of it, so this wave is more tolerable to me. Also, even though I'm not interested in Bucky Cap, I weep for those trying to get him when he goes up as a Wal-Mart exclusive. Wal-Mart is a pain with figure pre-orders.

I'm also surprised Avengers' 60th anniversary is mostly two-packs and Deluxe releases rather than an actual wave. I'm curious about the Hulk and Bruce Banner two-pack, the Monica Rambeau Captain Marvel and Doctor Doom two-pack, and the Thor and Destroyer two-pack. I am curious to see which Hulk and which costume for Thor those turn out to be. Also, Hasbro, please include "Kirby crackle" energy effect accessories for Doctor Doom! Also, Hawkeye with the Sky Cycle seems like a fake, given all of the teases and rumors. If it's true though, I'll definitely buy it! The figures for Egghead and comic Ultron for the Ant Man wave also have piqued my curiosity.

The X-Men wave is hit-and-miss, but definitely more hit than miss for me. I'm bummed there's no Cyclops for the X-Men '97 wave though, as I missed all of the Jim Lee costume Cyclops figures that Hasbro's made due to them always selling out before I could buy them. I also was hoping for Jean Grey. But I really, REALLY, hope these figures don't have cel-shading. If they don't, I'll get Wolverine, Storm, Rogue and Gambit. If they do, likely I won't. Astonishing Cyclops, Astonishing White Queen, Monet and Chamber will likely be added to my collection, depending on how they look, but the Deluxe Blob is definitely a must-buy! I still am hoping for a sold-separately classic White Queen down the road. I'll also definitely get the three-pack with Banshee if it's true. The screaming head on the Hood could work if they just changed the hair to red.

Of all of the M.C.U. figures, my only interest is the Disney+ Agatha figure. Everything else for me is a pass. Also, does it strike anyone else odd that we're not getting a new Fantastic Four wave? Not even any Retro Fan Channel figures?

Also, Captain Nash raises a great point: what will the Retro wave be? It has to be Iron Man, right? Since Hasbro's figuring out what to do with the Retro waves now due to the (awful) change to plastic-free packaging, we'll see what they end up doing. But not letting fans see what the figures look like now is definitely going to hurt more than it helps the line.

If -- IF -- these leaks turn out to be true, it will be a welcome change after 2022 was such a bust. Since we might know what 2023 holds, I'm just going to wish-list for 2024, because why the heck not:

AVENGERS - Captain America (classic with alternate smiling head and a shield without holes in it), Count Nefaria (classic), Iron Man (Heroes Return armor), Loki (green-and-yellow suit with yellow cape), Triathlon, Wasp (classic red-and-black suit), and Wonder Man (West Coast black-and-red suit)

FANTASTIC FOUR - Annihilus (classic), Human Torch (with alternate Jim Hammond head), Invisible Woman (1995 F.F. suit), Mole Man (classic), She-Hulk (Fantastic Four uniform), Thing (with removable trench-coat, hat and sunglasses), and the Wizard (classic). Bonus points added if we get an Alicia Masters and Puppet Master two-pack too.

HULK - First appearance Grey Hulk, General "Thunderbolt" Ross, Immortal Hulk, Leader (in orange-and-black suit with the "Jiffy Pop" brain head sculpt), Ringmaster, She-Hulk (purple-and-white suit), and Tyrannus. Bonus points if we get a Deluxe Merged Hulk in his brown jumpsuit and a Rick Jones with his motorcycle.

SPIDER-MAN - Spider-Man (John Romita Sr. suit with the correct chest spider emblem, alternate Peter Parker head and wavy-lines "spider-sense" accessory), Chameleon (classic), Mary Jane Watson (classic first appearance with removable jacket), Jack O'Lantern (classic with hovercraft and grenades), Firestar ('90s suit with jacket), Scarlet Spider (classic with alternate Ben Reilly head), and Kaine (classic). And the Deluxe comic-based Doc Ock with bendy wire tentacles, of course, preferably on the Retro card. I'd also love to see a purple-and-blue suit Boomerang figure get made too.

X-MEN - Avalanche (classic), Banshee (classic green-and-yellow suit), Cyclops ('70s suit with optic blast), Jubilee (Generation X suit with alternate smiling head and fireworks blasts), Skin (Generation X suit), Storm (black-and-yellow Outback suit), and White Queen (classic). Sold-separately figures of Dark Phoenix, classic Mystique and classic Pyro would be cool too. I'd also like to see blue-and-yellow X-Men suit Wolverine, Astonishing suit Wolverine, and a classic brown-and-tan suit Wolverine re-do with the X on the belt buckle.

Also, Daredevil's 60th anniversary, the 40th anniversary of "Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars" and the 30th anniversary of "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" are all in 2024. *Hint, hint...*

Sometimes I wonder if someone internally at Hasbro "accidentally" leaks these lists of upcoming figures whenever fans are disappointed by something (in this case, the Ghost Rider Haslab) to get some goodwill back?

My gut tells me that list is legit... or was legit at one time... the picks feel real to me. Guess I should pick up the flashback Winter Soldier right now. If it is fake I will also be happy with all the monies I get to keep since I assume prices will either go up or be the same.

There are quite a few of these rumored items I'm excited about. My highlights would be Blob, Outback Rogue, Captain Marvel (Monica), Wonder Man, Molecule Man, Monet, Corsair, and Astonishing Emma & Cyke. I've always thought Vertigo would make for a really cool-looking figure, so I'm super excited for her. The training uniform X-sets sound interesting. It'll be nice to have a second chance at Stryfe. Black Knight too, since I somehow slept on the last one. Sersi will probably be the red/black outfit with bomber jacket, which I'd be cool with. I'm down for Hawkeye with Sky Cycle, too. Here's hoping Hawkeye is classic and on the new buck.

Agents of SHIELD! Along with Rescue and Ms. Marvel.

Unpopular opinion but I’d actually really prefer the Sersi to be the black/red look. With bomber jacket of course.

^Not unpopular. I'm hoping the 2pack is both of them from that era. If this all comes to fruition

True, we have to take that with a grain of salt. Sersi/Black Knight makes sense but Monica Captain Marvel with Doom is kind of a weird pairup, but I guess they'd be pulling from the first Secret Wars.

I'm kind of disappointed that there doesn't appear to be another Thunderbolt (again) or New Warrior in all this, but some things are TBD and the BAF haven't been listed yet (hoping for Atlas for that)

Edit - I knew there was something else. All those X-Men training outfit figures, 6 of the 7, but not Wolverine? I mean, I know they could easily just throw him in a wave somewhere, it's just odd. I'm not complaining though, the other characters probably wouldn't just be thrown in a wave at random.

No OUTBACK PSYLOCKE or GSXM Banshee.

but they are supposedly making outback Rogue (which ironically I have no interest in, give me FA Rogue for my 80's Rogue please), so maybe they'll dig more in on that. An Outback Psylocke would be an insta-buy for me.

I'm pretty sure GSXM Banshee will come at some point. Maybe with the redone Siryn?

Not really a surprise about F4, the last retro wave didn't really seem to do well and the MCU movie is like two years away. But that rumored Val and Franklin will more than make up for it.


It's very likely real, but of course "card subject to change".

Sure, but if this list is true, that means we will have to wait until 2024 for that to happen. -_-

Also, no Fantastic Four villains? :(

Man I Hope all those black widows listed see release, it’s about time for a comic Yelena and a superposable Natasha.

I wonder what version it will be. Hopefully the gray suited DareDevil one with the new pinless arms and legs like they are doing with the new Firestar figure.

Obviously I can't tell what's the problem, but if it's just the notch in the leg hole not catching the peg in the hips, hot water make wonders. Put the leg hole part into boiling water (don't burn yourself!), let the plastic soften, then it should plug right into the peg and catches. Maybe that'll help.

I received a notification overnight that part of my order containing Quake and Blue Marvel will be shipping soon. I would guess this will only be Quake based on what others have received.

As to that list, my new limited stance on what I collect means cosmic characters and Spider-Verse will most likely about it for me. I am however intrigued to see what else will be released as part of the Marvel Knights wave. I am mildly surprised that is not a Midnight Sons wave with the Ghost Rider anniversary, current HasLab and the upcoming release of the Midnight Suns game.

My Controller wave arrived on Friday from Dorkside. I'm waiting for the extras I ordered from the wave to arrive from Pulse. I received the same notification that my extra BMs and US Agent are preparing to ship.

Well that is encouraging. Hopefully I will also be receiving BM to add to my Ultimates team. It will also be nice to receive one of my oldest pending orders.

If those leaks are real and not bull, I'll be extremely happy. Monet, Baron Strucker, Super-Adaptoid, Astonishing Emma, Chamber, and a new Extremis Iron Man are all figures I've been wanting for a while, and even though I'd assumed we'd be getting them, it's still nice to know MCU Kingpin, Miles in his current look and DD Elektra are also in the works.

Also hoping the unlisted figure in the Disney+ wave is Daredevil.

Wow...if those leaks are true! Just like most of you I can absolutely find plenty on that list I would want. Perhaps even too many for my budget. I will have to start planning some savings now.

My first must have would be MCU Agatha with a maybe on MCU MJ, Photon, and Ms.Marvel. A giant maybe on Noh-varr, but I love seeing a queer young avenger so maybe. Could even be tempted to find a cheap Hercules then if I do get him.

Monet, Chamber, Kid Omega, and deluxe Blob are all absolute musts for me!!! Wish Outback Rouge was Outback Psylocke, will be skipping the yellow blue team sets, but having to miss out on yet another character(Vertigo) I wanted due to being in a five pack (like Northstar and Mastermind) hurts almost as bad as missing out on the X-force 3 pack. Not having a Rictor will forever sting me. Will Fang come with 3 heads (Logan, Alien, and current Fang Daken)? Id buy a Fang to get a new Daken. I can't wait to find out the BAF for the X-men wave. I hope Spiral as I could live with also buying Astonishing versions of Cyke and Emma for a Spiral. Might be Chod due to Corsairs inclusion to get a little more Starjammers in.

Nonethess bring on Pulse Con cause now I am hyped.

and no Exodus again.

Happy about Corsair, but wish it was in a Starjammers box set.

Yeah, the lack of AoA as well is also a bummer. In fact, now that I know there is no chance for Banshee in the look I want, I've got nothing to look forward to in 2023 for Marvel Legends.

I hope the new Black Widow figure is in the Neo-Classic costume, and by that I mean black suit, gold belt and wrist bands, long red hair, and unzipped shirt collar.
