Though you know, Fin Fang Foom also first appeared in Strange Tales. He was in the 90s Iron Man cartoon and toyline. We have a retro Iron Man legends wave this year.Plus, it's also the year of the dragon. I would say there's a lot of synergy with the idea that he could(and should) be the Haslab this year.

I think it's a fun wave, I feel like there'd be more hype if the Engine of Vengeance had succeeded, since this wave is clearly meant to be a companion to that like the Tri-Sentinel wave was meant to be hitting as the Sentinel Haslab shipped. I do wonder which character Hellstrom replaced. He was a stretch goal when this wave being planned so there must have been a different character planned for the wave. Anyhow, the only figure I passed on was Weapon of Vengeance. I've been wanting Lilith for awhile, and Bloodstorm hits 2 points of Nostalgia for me. I didn't necessarily need Hellstrom or Dracula, and upgrading Voodoo and Moon Knight are just a bonus
