Why can't they do a Haslab with just those figures plus a few more? However I want Hellstrom in his Defenders costume. Add Devil Slayer and Black heart to the mix and boom!!

Now I totally expect to see a Spider-Man One More Day Haslab with Mephisto in it.

Don't make fans feel like they are being raped. Mephisto could easily be offered as a Pulse Exclusive. Hell, they could even try an entire "Midnight Sons" HasLab WAVE. 6-7 character wave. Stretch goals could include added accessories. $125-$150 price range.

Or better yet Hasbro could adopt a model like every other toy company nowadays and offer said wave as a timed exclusive. But they won't because that makes way too much sense and Hasbro likes to overthink everything.

Back to toys - Looks like Puff Adder is the BAF for the Yelena/Extremis wave. Also, some collectors aren’t going to like Simon’s (Wonder Man) elbows as they look to be identical to the ones rolled out for Red Skull and Dormammu in the villain wave. Molecule Man also seems to sport them…

Pretty sure that's exactly the point that Rocky Horror was going for. It's a silly thing, really intentionally so, but oddly deep and well written.

Anyway it's good to see another Serpent Society member, maybe Hasbro really was finally serious this time about getting back to completing teams?

Which some would argue is scarier than a demonic clown.

True. I think it is just that kid me found Tim Curry's clown to be way more scarier than adult me found Skarsgard's clown. I was legit scared watching the original It as a kid in 8th grade... the remake wasn't even scary at all IMO... it was more like a good suspense thriller with great spooky looking visual effects.

Whoa, before this goes any further. I like to apologize that I was insensitive when I posted that picture, I would delete it if I could but it's already been quoted, but please read my post, I was only referring to Jim Curry in make-up being scary. As in Jim Carry is such a great actor, him just having make up in "IT" was scarier than a demonic clown, as with many of his characters in other movies. I've made no reference to the transgender community. Had I posted a picture of Jim Curry in "IT" would you have accused me of being Coulrophobic?

That said, I know you won't believe anything that I say at this point. Anything that I say would just seems like I'm back-paddling. So I can only assure you that perhaps my insensitivity came from the fact that I didn't see his character in the Rocky Horror Picture Show as any different than a picture of Jim Curry in the "IT" make up - characters in a movie. I only ask that you'd forgive my insensitivity and give me the benefit of the doubt.

Whew, thanks! Again, sorry for my poor choice of a picture, I was just thinking of the 2 most memorable movies where Jim Curry wore makeup - IT and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, both of which I did enjoy!

And IMO Legend 1985 is my 2nd fav Tom Cruise movie (Collateral will always be number 1)... the Theatrical version of Legend with Tangerine Dream, not the Director's Cut with Jerry Goldsmith's score. If Neca ever made any Legend figs... I probably would jump in at that point.
