A couple of House of X (professor X/ Marvel Girl/ Moira or Rasputin)

Just wonder if there will be for Canadian non-expo events, London non-events etc.

Predictions? Yeah, let’s do it:

- Hellfire Club Boxset. Shaw, Pierce, Emma Frost, & a Black Queen (probably Selene with an alternate Jean Grey head) are locks. Fifth figure could be Leland or Jason Wyngarde.

- Some FoX-Men exclusive. Logan & X-23 does seems like a good call. Maybe a Colossus?

- Amazon Nimrod set. Other two figures are definitely Psylocke & Fantomex, probably X-Force look for Psylocke (Fantomex has effectively the same costume). But maybe HoX/ PoX because of Nimrod. I know Fantomex has little relevance in that story, but Nimrod has little relevance to X-Force.

- Target Thunderbird & Storm set.

- X-Men “Best Of” Retro Wave. Perhaps consisting Rogue, Psylocke, Cyclops, Storm (Silver), Beast (with a new, friendlier head), & maybe Jubilee? Or, the X-Men retro stuff they teased (in the interview we’ve been discussing) could be some new figures, like maybe Morph or some Brotherhood members (Toad or Avalanche). Hell, perhaps even Banshee.

- More Spider-Man retro stuff. Firestar maybe, judging from the leaked listing for “Spider-Man Retro TV” figures. There were two of those listings, so potentially another Iceman? Hopefully a couple more villains rereleases/ redecos are in the cards too. I’d love to see Doc Ock, Kraven, & Sandman put out to finish the Sinister Six. Hobgoblin, Lizard, & Rhino also really need a rerelease (for Lizard I’d prefer an all-new, all-different figure, based on his more classic appearance).

- Team boxset or two, as they teased more are on their way. Excalibur seems like a good candidate for this, as does the New Warriors.

- Walgreens U.S. Agent that Rektangular has been talking about. And the Silver Centurion for... somewhere. Probably Fan Channel.

- House Of X wave. I’m thinking X, Magneto, Marvel Girl, Wolverine, Cyclops, Moira MacTaggert, Psylocke (Captain Britain), & Rasputin. Cardinal, Kate Pryde, Exodus, Husk, M, & Kid Omega are also possibilities (and I’m sure lots of others I’m missing). I think the wave will be a mix of story specific stuff (X, Magneto) and figures that represent more classic characters and costumes (Marvel Girl, Moira) to appeal to collectors not interested in HoX/ PoX. Dunno about the BAF. They seemed excited about it. Maybe Armor. Or they figured out how the hell to do Krakoa.

- GamerVerse wave two. From the game, probably Thor & Black Widow to finish the team. I’ll guess six figure wave, although seven would be welcome. From the comics, Falcon seems like a lock. Another New Warrior, if we aren’t getting a boxset (Justice, maybe?). Maybe Wonder-Man (in his Safari jacket) or classic Mockingbird, if they see the need, since sometimes they count a figure of a character from a team in a different costume than they wore when on that team as filling the need for said character (like Dwight said with Wolfsbane, when asked. “We made a Wolfsbane.”). Other areas I see them drawing from are the requisite annual Serpent Society member (Viper or Boomslang wouldn’t need very much tooling). And then another random, fan-demanded hero (Blue Marvel or America Chavez finished well in the Fwoosh poll) or villain (Attuma or Count Nefaria).

- Fan Channel Army Builder (Hellfire Club goon).

- Eternals wave tease with comics Eternals (Ikaris, Sersi), and some cosmic characters (Quasar, Moondragon, Fire-Lord come to mind).

- Show off part of/ most of next year’s Spidey wave. Guessing another PS4 suit or two, another couple classic villains (Molten Man and Tarantula, perhaps), a tangentially tied ally like Shang-Chi (Power-Man, maybe? Or Cardiac), and an easy kitbash (Mister Negative HAS to be coming, right?). Stegron would be a welcome BAF. Spidey-Slayer would work too.

- Show off part of/ most of next year’s Fantastic Four wave. I’ll wager Crystal & Kang.

- Legendary Riders Hawkeye.

- Tease an Iron Man vintage wave (card mock-up).
