I jest of course...but with as many times as I have been misinformed by "journalists" on that site, I take anything and everything they say with a grain...maybe even a teaspoon of salt. Unless they get this on video or through a panel, it holds about as much weight and integrity as my statement above.

Man...a lot of people want that Juggernaut BAF. I personally have a feeling that if we get an X-Wave, it will be Apocalypse since I'm sure he will have some sort of giant form in the upcoming movie at some point, although with the trend of larger BAFs we've been receiving, Juggernaut wouldn't surprise me either. I am kinda hoping against it, as I really don't see the need, but if there is an X-wave, as long as we get decent figures, it wouldn't bother me.

As for characters I'd like to see as a BAF

-Cameron Hodge
-The Phalanx
-Bastion
-Nimrod

Also...I'd love a box set of the 1970's Hellfire Club. Sebastian Shaw, White Queen, Black Queen, Harry Leland, Donald Pierce and a Hellfire Club guard. That would really rock my socks off...

Just curious...with the release of the 1990's X-Men comic series, maybe a wave based off that could be on the way? I wonder if the same rights surrounding the cartoon (which originally ran on Fox) is different than that of the Fox X-Men movie-verse? I mean, if they are making a comic based off of an old Fox TV show, could that mean that figures aren't that far behind?

I'm very happy to say that they just uploaded a podcast with Hasbro employees who confirm that Rogue is indeed a part of an X-Men 2016 wave! They say it will be 7-8 characters, and most of them (if not all) will come with BAF pieces, to build a character which is big (a he), but not as big as Hulkbuster. My guess is Juggernaut or Strong Guy (come on Guido!) Oh, and Namor is not in this wave but is a retailer exclusive figure.

The most exciting piece of news out of this con by far. Very, very exciting!

I'd LOVE to see a Bastion or Hodge BAF too. They would be fantastic.

They also say that figures like movie Quicksilver or MCU Ronan aren't likely to be made, as they're one time characters. On the other hand, Scarlet Witch and Vision have a definite chance of occurring, since they're multiple appearance characters.

There's also a SLIGHT hint that Enchantress and Polaris are coming, but read into that hint as you will. Oh, and Angela is coming in 2017, either in a Guardians or Thor wave.
