I have accepted that we will NEVER get a ML version of the hulkbuster again and am really hoping that Marvel Select is going to reveal one at Toyfare. I mean they have listed that there will be MS figures of Hulk, Widow, and Thor (repaint of Dark World version) already but I expect a Iron man mk 43 (repaint of mk 42, Most likely a Disney store exclusive) so I have some hope they might be able to pull off a Hulkbuster.

I totally agree man everyone is like where is ultron? why more cap, ironman, hulk figures and no new characters from the movie?, in my opinion hasbro is probably going to add some of the new characters of the movie in a wave 2 released later in the year, hasbro has learnt over the years that even if they have peg warmers its better for retailers to be intrested about the waves than retailer execs be like "who are all these figures of characters we dont know, we are not buying that wave" Im sure Hasbro just did the smart thing which was to the have the first wave include mayor characters they know will sell to kids and collectors even if they peg warm a little (and add some comic book figures for collectors sake) and then wait to see how the movie does (im sure it'll do well but maybe after the movie people arent really intrested in quicksilver or scarlet witch, who knows) its only logical they made this wave to keep retailers both happy and intrested in a second wave that would include more characters of the movie once it is out (with some comicbook characters to fill up the wave *this is where valkire comes in*)
