Quick question for those of you that have the Target exclusive War Machine two pack, do you like the War Machine figure? Most of the Youtube reviews I have see say that he's not that great but that's mostly because of the accessories. Ignoring the accessories, do yo like the figure? I don't want to spend $40 on an ok War Machine and an Iron Man I don't want.

I'm leaning toward:
Monica- Marvel Unlimited Plus
Dark Phoenix- Walgreen's
MJ- SDCC

A Walgreens exclusive does make sense for Phoenix but I honestly think she'll be in a future X-Men wave. With the MCU slate being relatively Avenger free until Infinity War, I think Hasbro will start putting out waves for other properties like X-Men and Fantastic Four. And with the success of the Juggernaut wave and the fact that they've ignored X-Men for so long, they may want to double down on X in 2017.

I doubt MJ will be an SDCC exclusive. Hasbro put out a Mary Jane figure in the 3.75" line a few years ago and it didn't peg warm (even though it looked terrible). I don't see any reason why they wouldn't try for mass retail with a 6" version her. I could see her being released in a 2 pack with Spiderman (SDCC version with an unmasked Peter Parker alternate head). Or throw in J. Jonah Jameson to make it a 3 pack. But my money is on retail.

I see three possibilities for Monica: 1. Walgreen's exclusive, 2. part of a Thor wave or 3. part of a Black Panther wave. If Hasbro was to give either character their own wave to tie into their movie, then I could see a could a couple of Avengers characters getting tossed in. But if not those two, then she would be a Walgreens' exclusive since she doesn't really fit in anywhere else.

As for Sue Storm, Toy Biz and Hasbro have consistently released her in box sets and Fantastic Four themed waves. If there was a member of the FF that could be released in a non-FF wave and didn't require extensive tooling, it'd be the Human Torch. Sue never gets released without her teammates.
