[Captain Nash]

So much information to process and so little time on the computer today before I must head to rest. I'm almost wanting to hold off until after the con is over, to get a full run of figures commented on but I can't contain my happiness over today's reveals.

Said in my earlier comments, Dazzler. Amazing. All that I can say on that. She was not even one of my most wanted X-Men and I absolutely love this figure. The highlight of the day for me. I want to add on the "outfit controversy", I was introduced to blue 80's outfit Dazzler. And I would have been completely happy with that version of her. But I totally respect that this look is her first and probably more iconic look, and definitely unique. But I'm not going to belittle those who would rather have had a different version. Actually I say, why can't we have both LOL. Besides, this way...we get rollerskates. Freaking rollerstakes people!

Dr. Strange wave, I'm still hoping for the Enchantress rumor to pan out later on this week, but for what we've got, it's a very mixed bag. Not caring so much for the different Dr. Strange figures, already have two Iron Fists and a Bother Voodoo..but I will definitely get Nico and Mordo (which, I could care less if he's traditional Mordo or not. He is what he's cast as in the movie.) I do wish we'd gotten an Ancient One, Clea, or Wong, but it is what it is. Just some missed opportunities.

Spider-Man, another mixed bag for me. Only because I'm kind of over having so many different spider-man versions. I will absolutely get Ms. Marvel and Jackal, maybe Green Goblin, but the various Spider-man(s) are easy passes for me. To each their own though. A shame about no Shocker, again..and we are nearing filling out the major Spider-Man rogue's gallery with Jackal. Just need Shocker, Scorpion (finally remembered him for once!) a proper Mysterio, Morlun, and a redo of Dr. Octopus and Vulture and I think we're there, right? BTW, is this wave for late 2016 or early 2017?

So why am I so happy? Because the good in those waves is really good. Also because of Dazzler and Angela. Which I spoke on Dazzler already but Angela looks fantastic. Absolutely going to purchase and while I thought she fit better with a Thor wave, I think a GOTG wave makes sense as well, and that way we get it earlier! I am "meh" on Nova, but that's just me. I don't disregard anyone's opinions that Sam IS Nova, I just don't care for the character under his mantle.

Again I stress I hope that we will see the rest of the X-Men wave before weekend's end, or at least Polaris. Hasbro knows she and Enchantress were among the most wanted, so if they do want to reveal the "best for last" it will be them, IMO. Not surprised about X-Men being 2017 though I was hoping that if it was this year it might mean we'd get two X-waves a year. As for the Wolverine wave, since we never had skus or item numbers, I'm not overly surprised we haven't seen anything yet, for all we know that really could have just been a really well done wishlist. I'm still hoping it isn't though, I really want it to be real! I do have a good feeling that the rest of the X-wave will be accurate, the Spider-Man wave rumor was except for Shocker, although I'll be honest in saying I would take a Madrox over a Shatterstar any day.

The poll, I don't have instagram but if I did I would be voting for Songbird so much. Definitely needed (long haired version please!) and I feel kind of bad for Solo. I think that particular poll at least was "gimme". It will be interesting to see who else shows up.

And yes, to those who mention Monica, we need her done some how some way. The Wasp outfit looks like it could be reworked very easily into her Spectrum outfit. She is among the very last handful of core classic avengers that need to be made. I'm not counting remakes, I agree that She-Hulk needs to be redone hell most of the first two waves of Hasbro's ML need to be redone.

Anyways before I write a book I'm going to wrap this up for today. Not sure what goodness we'll see tomorrow but hopefuly we'll have a lot more to oooh and ahh over on Saturday. Already so much of a better year than last year when I walked away only being happy about Mockingbird (despite the ton I've spent this year besides on her. LOL)
