My thoughts:

I'm not a Iron Fist fan, but I am glad for those who wanted him in a two-pack with Luke Cage. The same goes for Skaar. I'm surprised they didn't do a Iron Fist/Luke Cage two-pack when they were doing the classic '70s look figure for Luke Cage, though.

The Astonishing Wolverine looks great, but I'm content with my "X-Men '97" figure I already have. Hopefully we'll see Beast, Kitty Pryde and Colossus to complete that team in the near future.

I have no interest in Superior Spider-Man, so he is a hard pass for me. I need a Doc Ock updated figure, not SpOck.

Warbird looks great and I'd love to get her, but since she's a Target exclusive, it ain't going to happen for me. I wanted Ant-Man and Black Widow, but could never find either one, so I fear history is going to repeat itself again for me with Warbird. Such a shame.

Okay, Danny Ketch as Ghost Rider stole the livestream for me. I'll have to save up to afford him, but I'm sure he'll be worth it.

As for the teaser at the end, could that rock accessory be a nod to the rock accessory for the Hulk figure used by Toy Biz in their original 1990 "Marvel Super Heroes" toyline? After it, it was joked as a "stress ball" and stress is a reason why Bruce Banner changes into the Hulk, so maybe it's some kind of Hulk figure update/re-release with a rock accessory. The old Toy Biz rock accessory was the only thing that came to mind for me on that teaser.

I'm looking forward to whatever Hasbro does next with the "Marvel Legends" toyline this year. There are still so many waves and figures left to reveal.

I wish the deluxe Danny Ketch head was engulfed by more flame to set him apart from Johnny Blaze & evoke 90's art more.

Totally worth it.

When they showed the rock, I immediately went Avalanche.....forgetting that they just released him.

But, it feels like they've done enough Hulks too. Unless it's a Peter David Smart Hulk. Could be a random swerve. Just like how everyone thought that fire effect was gonna be Rachel.

Gorgon? Kicking up a rock?

That sucks honestly. I hope my Target at least stocks up on her so I can have her.

Astonishing Wolverine looks fantastic. And them saying we’ll see more of that team is great news. If it finally gets us Armor as a BAF or deluxe, I’ll be elated.

Modern Luke Cage was a wonderful cherry on top. That’s another New Avenger I can tick off my list.

Fingers crossed. None of the Targets around here got Black Widow and she was sold out online before I could order

Marvel 85th Anniversary Wave…All I can say, “That is some good stuff!” Might not get the Wolverine, but everything else looks like “must haves!”

They were incorrect. He's only $49.99!

I need that Skaar and Warbird.

Wolverine and Danny are maybes.

Marvel Legends could fill a few MCU waves of just women:
Scarlet Scarab, Flag Smasher, Ramonda, Frigga, Jentorra, Darcy Lewis, Captain Carter (Illuminati), Janet Van Dyne, Ravonna Renslayer, Aneka, Titania, Binary, Misty Knight, Tarawet, Echo, Kahhori, Captain Marvel (Illuminati), Namora, Christine Plamer, Clea, Mary Walker, Dar-Benn

Yeah. I've resorted to eBay or local toy stores when that happens.

I wasn't up for paying twice retail

Skaar! I knew that's what that Knife tease was for, excellent work Has-people!

I'll be passing on Warbird as I prefer the 3pack version.

So I was off by $10, still too pricey for me. I'll glad buy him at $30-40 though.

Fair. With eBay or any place like Vintage Stock/EntertainMART, I'll settle for a loose figure if it has all of the accessories or without them if they aren't important to the figure. In my experience, loose figures tend to be below market value. I have found boxed exclusives below market value at local toy stores, I found Tiger Force Outback at Cast-A-Way Toys, a local toy store, for 10 bucks.

Just in case you missed it

I'm going to guess the "retro card" Quicksilver leak is probably going to be his blue suit on the RYV body and a Walmart exclusive

Preternia was wrong. He'll be $49.99.

Odin will be apart of the 85th Anniversary collection. Amazon spoiled that

The Hulkbuster figure, is it suppose to be Hulkbuster Iron Man?

Prowler arrived:

I got an order from AliExpress tht shipped from China after Wasp and Ant-Man. Still no sign of Wasp and Ant-Man shipped from Il. DHL is awesome

It has been quite the week. New figures as well as catching up on stuff I missed. New based and effects. I'd really like more Squadron memebers

Money on my end has been insanely tight, due to bills and now due to my family's food bill going up $100 from last month. It's with great pride and joy that I can say I had enough to pre-order the "Retro Iron Man" figures of Iron Man Model 09 and She-Hulk from Amazon today. The outfits for both characters are the looks I remember from the early Impel/Fleer Marvel trading cards from my childhood, so getting these two figures is a dream come true for me. I just hope that not only will I be able to see more classic comic figures for favorite characters of mine later this year, but that I'll be able to afford them as well.

@Veronica Mars - Congratulations on the new figures! Your collection looks great! I have the "X-Men '97" Magneto and he's a great figure. Where did you get your flight stand for him, if you don't mind me asking?

I hope that you all have a marvelous weekend and stay safe, everyone.
