After seeing the video and learning all of the apparent leaked listings, because NO ONE demanded it, or cares, these are my thoughts:

- The Secret Wars wave is an instant buy. I'm completely serious. I don't care if I need to pawn a kidney or something, I WILL find a way to get all of them. I hope Spider-Man is in the classic red-and-blue suit, but it'll likely be the battle damaged suit with the black symbiote ball. I'm hoping the last unrevealed figure is a female villain like Volcana or Enchantress.

- There is no way there's going to be a 'Deadpool & Wolverine' wave without Gambit. Yeah, it's a guess on my part, but I just don't see it happening. Also, I thought the previous leak for the new 'Deadpool & Wolverine' wave listed Cassandra Nova, Mr. Paradox, Elektra, Blade, X-23 and Gambit. Maybe Gambit is being pushed back since Channing Tatum is returning for 'Avengers: Doomsday'?

- The Retro Spider-Man wave is underwhelming. I am excited for those who want Owl, Hypno-Hustler and Cardiac, but I doubt Cardiac's getting made unless they finally made some kind of deal (since there was some kind of legal red tape as to why Cardiac hasn't been made, right?). But no classic, non-animated Chameleon? No Vulture? No first appearance Mary Jane? No classic Black Cat? No classic comic-accurate Hobgoblin?

- FINALLY! The Incredible Hulk might be getting a new "Marvel Legends" wave! This is long, looooong overdue! Maybe they can give us the old Toy Biz Hulk box art from the 1996 animated series. If it's the classic 616 version of Abomination, he's an instant buy! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a better classic savage Hulk with better head sculpts (fingers crossed for a Bob Larkin art-based sculpt like the 1984 poster). If we're getting a regular wave, I could see General Ross, Tyrannus, Ringmaster, orange-and-black suit Leader with the "Jiffy Pop" brain, and Jack Kirby's purple shorts Hulk from "The Avengers" #1 all being contenders. Maybe we can get some female characters too, like Betty Ross. I'd also love to see a Deluxe Professor Hulk in the brown Pantheon-era jumpsuit finally made! And a boxed set for the U-Foes is a must!

- The Astonishing X-Men is a must buy, but the price is likely going to be what makes me wait. I don't have the Juggernaut/Colossus two-pack, so it'll be great to finally add a new Colossus to my shelf again!

- Once again, though, no sold-separately Doc Ock with bendy wire tentacles is one of the leaked figures. Not classic green-and-orange suit Doc Ock for Secret Wars or the white Armani suit for the Retro Spider-Man wave. Seriously, how has a comic based Doc Ock figure not had a sold-separately release since 2018?!? Maybe we can get a Maximum wave release of Doc Ock. I'd even take a classic Lady Octopus and a classic Stunner too!

Thanks for reading my nonsense. Have a great day, True Believers!
