My two cents (which are two cents more than my opinions are worth):

- Man, they're really trying to make those 4" Legends figures a thing, aren't they? Sorry, but I'm not as excited for those Retro Kenner-type figures. I do hope they use those box art versions of Captain America, Hulk, Spider-Man, Human Torch and Miss Marvel for new 6-inch Marvel Legends in the future though.

- Xemnu looks great! I'm thrilled that those who want him will finally be able to get him. I don't know much about the character, but he looks cool.

- A.I. Tony Stark on the Iron Man 80th anniversary body gives me hope that they'll do a Captain America re-release with lighter suit colors for Cap's 80th anniversary. We'll see. Not crazy about the A.I. Stark head, though.

- Quasar was originally the highlight, until I heard the words Walgreens exclusive. I hate Walgreens. I never could find their stuff pre-Covid and it's why I'm grateful we may get blue-and-white Negative Zone figures of the Fantastic Four later for the Retro wave, since the Walgreens F.F. figures were virtually non-existent in my stores.

- Does anyone else think the chest sticker for Nova looks off? I don't get what's up with that. And yes, I also prefer the old fire colors used for the prototype of Dormammu.

- Civil Warrior? Seriously? Hard pass. The arc shield looks awful and the figure itself looks ugly. I would've preferred a Peggy Carter as Cap figure.

- Arcade's shoes still look unfinished. Other than that, I may pick him up eventually. I love Arcade and as a '90s kid who played "Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge", it's a thrill for me to see him get a Legends figure.

- Secret Wars Battleworld Doom? No. Just... no. Also, and no offense to Hasbro, but -- why? You waste a slot for a villain who could've had a long-overdue revamp or a first-time ever figure for a popular villain in favor of... a third Doctor Doom? At this rate, I'm expecting to see a third She-Hulk of some kind this year.

- Lady Deathstrike looks GLORIOUS. I'll do my best to get her. It looks like one of her red arm bands are missing on each sleeve though. I thought she had two?

- The Hood looks like random civilian character in a cape. Seriously, what is this? Who approved this? Fans waiting for the character are likely disappointed by this. And what is going on with the gun accessories? Those blast effects are... odd-looking, to say the least. If Hasbro's really going to reuse this same skinny civilian body over and over, could you at least slap a lab coat on it and give us Bruce Banner, please?

- Red Skull isn't bad, though I've lost my love for the character in recent years. Red Skull's grinning head looks stupid. His other head looks terrific, though. The accessories are great and seeing the Cosmic Cube made me smirk. I may pick him up, but I'm debating it.

- I always knew MODOK was Mr. Potato Head, now Hasbro's confirmed it. Seriously though, he looks great. He's not a new reveal, but it's still fun.

- Excalibur. Oh, sweet Moses, YES. Can't wait to see who they reveal. A new Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat is a must. But if we get Nightcrawler with that stupid goatee look, I'm passing on him.

- I assume April is when we'll see more reveals since they were talking about the upcoming M.C.U. and Disney+ stuff? I hope it isn't too long before they reveal at least a figure or two from Retro Fantastic Four, Classic X and Spider-Man wave two. We'll see.

I hope you all are having a great day and have a wonderful weekend. Stay safe, everyone.
