While some of these characters were represented in the comics, they were all a part of popular cartoon series that were enjoyed by kids and adults, therefore, they make sense to me.

Warlock? I seriously doubt anyone under the age of 30 remembers him unless they are in the hardcore, X-comic omnibus crowd. And while everyone was bitching (and still is...) about Titus being given a BAF, NO ONE was asking for Warlock, except maybe the four or five of you here who are walking Marvel Universe Volumes...(and that's not meant to be a dig...trust me...your knowledge of just the existence of these characters astounds me.) Many other toy forums and websites expressed similar sentiments, so I know I'm not alone here.

Maybe it was the artwork (which I always thought was a hot mess,) or the design, or maybe it was just the character himself (such as the way he always spoke in the third person,) but for whatever reason, I thought he sucked, and was therefore was glad when Cameron Hodge offed him. Plus, his death in turn gave us the Phalanx, who I always thought were kinda neat, and have been big time players against the X-Men since.

Sorry if I don't share the same X-bias as many others here, but them's the breaks. If I had to choose between the two, I would take Titus over Warlock any day, and I know next to nothing about him outside of his appearance on Ultimate Spider-Man. It doesn't make him a better BAF than Warlock (in fact the Warlock BAF will probably be the better of the two due to the amount of unique sculpting that will go into it...) but at the same time, he makes more sense due to his recent moonlighting in the cartoon series, as opposed to a character who died back in 1991.

Then again, we got an Eel figure, and no one was screaming for him either, so what do I know?...

but "to me"...this is the least exciting wave I've seen since I started collecting Legends.
I don't feel like any of these come across as "MUST OWNS"...which probably has to do with my attachment..or lack thereof for most of these characters..
I was never a huge Guardians fan and the movie was just okay to me.

There's a difference though. Kid Nova was in nearly the entire series. Titus showed up for one episode in its third season and that was it.

No one was asking for Titus either. Nor Space Venom. Or that Hulk-like Green Goblin thing, etc.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't feel like I needed to have a figure of Warlock either, especially when there are other X-Men characters I want. However, he makes more sense to me than a one shot from a subpar cartoon. Plus, at least it's something. Of course, this also means that Hasbro better give us other characters from The New Mutants book.

As mentioned before, Titus was not created for the cartoon. He was first in the (Sam Alexander) Nova series in 2013.

Even Stan Lee has expressed regret for not fully capitalizing on the Marvel Comics link when Blade hit theaters, because for many, that Spider-Man cartoon and the film were the only exposure they had ever had to the character.

I dunno. Maybe I just couldn't get past him being named "Wendell.":p



These days I think most people are exposed to characters through movies and TV or video games first, so it's pretty common.

I'm not even sure what we're even debating anymore...so I'll just leave it there...lol.

He was (I'm really stressing my memory banks here) the most powerful being in the universe! I feel like sentry really stole a lot of his story, with the whole "evil version" self distructive aspect. I expect he's going to make some kind of appearance in regards to the infinity war avengers movie, so hasbro is probably just introduceing him to the public. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in a larger roll in the toons and comics in the run up to a movie appearance
