- Spider-Man figures look good, I don’t love how Miles translates, but Gwen is solid, and Spider-Ham pushes her over the edge. No attachment to Hand Ninjas, but damn do I like Stilt-Man.
- Arcade is an excellent surprise, Dormammu looks awesome too. The idea of a villains wave is very, very intriguing.
- Classic Thanos looks cool too, hoping he means a new Warlock. - Surfer is fine, just not my cup of tea. Happy about a Walgreens figure I don’t need to fret about finding.
- HoX isn’t anything I care about, but I already knew that. Love Moira, easy pass on the others. Hoping the wave nets us Marvel Girl, as I’m focused at this point on silver/ bronze age figures.
- Really, really hate that Rogue is Target exclusive, could care less about Gambit.
- Firestar just... doesn’t look right. I think it’s mostly the headsculpt, I just... don’t like her..

I guess my disappointment is less with the reveals themselves, and more with the stuff that I was hoping would be revealed. Besides Firestar & Falcon, they still haven’t hit on anybody from that Fwoosh list. Not that many “FINALLY, I’VE WANTED THEM FOREVER,” and more, “hey, that’s pretty cool.” I don’t feel excited enough to want to pre-order anyone.

Agree that Firestar doesn't look quite right, but it's "close enough" to scratch that itch. Eventually I'd like a New Warriors or Avengers look, but just getting her in ANY version is enough for now. it's sort of like crossing Selene off the list. if the figures 80 or 90% accurate, off the list it goes. The last time a majorly wanted reveal was pretty much exactly what I wanted was the first Polaris, so I'm settling now.

(this rest is not directly at you just stream of consciousness stuff)

HOX/POX is not stuff I've had on my wishlist for very long, obviously, so I'm not really pining but it's solid enough for me. But it's not blowing me away either. I imagine the other 3 (or is it four??) slots will be between Jean, Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops and maybe Captain Britain (Betsy) since that design is a complete overhaul. Again as mentioned before I can't see the BAF not being Apocalpyse or Armor.

I've never been big on Jocasta or Armor or Mr. Fixit so those reveals didn't do a lot for me. Already got my Kang and Falcon ordered.

Very interested in what the remainder of the BOTBG wave will be despite not really wanting the first two reveals. Crossing my fingers for Deathstrike, Viper, Count Nefaria and Graviton, but if we can hit 2 of those I'd be overjoyed.

Spider-Man, well, I'm pretty much set for Spider-Man except for a handful of figures. So I know right off the bat most Spider-Man stuff is not going to be what I want. Hopefully Morlun, Spot and Mr. Negative will show up in this wave, or at least one of the three. I sincerely doubt the Spider-Man wave 2 for next year will be a comic BAF IF Homecoming 3 comes out still next year, if that's the case Stegron won't have a chance until 2022 at earliest. Which is okay, he's only been on my radar for a couple of years, really, and was more of a joke for me than anything prior to that. But dammit now I want him made.

I guess I was hoping for more AoA but maybe we'll still see that next year sometime. We still definitely have at least three figures that NEED to get made before closing that line out. Though they could always throw them in various waves and not do an AOA themed wave.
