I admit it, I was as disappointed as everyone here in the reveals. That said, Dan Yun DID tell us on Twitter to lower our expectations. We still have November and December for reveals and we did have all of these interviews to fill in the time. Granted, everyone on the chat that I saw while watching the video didn't want interviews and only wanted to see the toys, but everyone has to remember that Covid is still putting a wrench in everyone's plans and movies and TV series are again being pushed back. I'm sure that upcoming waves like the rumored Doctor Strange and Thor movie Marvel Legends waves will be pushed back too after their released dates were pushed back.

Am I disappointed we didn't get any Spider-Man reveals or teases? Yes. Am I disappointed that the awesome X-Men figures are apparently Pulse and Shop Disney exclusives (or did I hear that wrong)? Of course. Did I want to see most of the characters I wanted to finally see made or re-made revealed? Of course, and who didn't want to see some of their wish-list characters revealed like Rhino or Morph? Am I disappointed classic Baron Zemo is a Walgreens exclusive? Yes, I am.

But I lowered my expectations and I'm surprisingly less disappointed than I thought I'd be. The 20th anniversary Cap and Hulk figures are must-buys, especially since I've been waiting for a sold-separately Hulk for years that's not a Build-A-Figure. The X-Men animated figures will be great too, especially the VHS packaging. And I finally get to buy a Scarlet Witch that doesn't have metallic paint. I'll likely get the 20th ML figure for Iron Man, but I'm debating due to the Stark head.

Most of my wish-list wants still remain, though, such as Jim Lee versions of Cyclops, Jean, Beast with a smiling head, Colossus and Magneto, classic red costume Daredevil, Doctor Octopus in his green-and-orange costume or Armani suit with bendable wire tentacles, classic Romita Sr./Amazing Friends era suit Spider-Man, first appearance Mary Jane Watson, classic Aunt May Parker, comic suit U.S. Agent, purple-and-blue suit Hawkeye with a shrunken Ant-Man on one arrow, orange-and-black costume Leader, Ringmaster, classic Luke Cage, classic Carol Danvers Ms. Marvel, etc., etc. But I have a feeling some of these will be made within the next year or two due to characters' anniversary years and/or fan demand.

Thanks for reading my nonsense. I hope you all are having a great day and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Stay safe, True Believers.
