And that must be great for the people that actually follow him on Twitter, but what was the point in having a 2 hour panel if only 10 minutes of it was actually spent showing off 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.

At some point, we need to stop using Covid as an excuse for everything, especially when in other panels they had the red ranger from Dino Fury unveil his Lightning Collection figure and show it off and some rapper named Taboo show off Spirit in the GI Joe panel as they were being interviewed. They could have easily done that with the dudes in the Marvel panel. Like I love the X-Man animated series, but I didn't need them to spend 25 minutes talking about the show and then 5 minutes showing off the figures, especially when they didn't even actually show Wolverine close up enough in front of the camera.

Am I disappointed classic Baron Zemo is a Walgreens exclusive? Yes, I am.

I'm not because Walgreens are the easiest exclusives for me to acquire. I've got 32 Walgreens in a 25 mile radius.

The 20th anniversary Cap and Hulk figures are must-buys,

I need to see Hulk before I can say he is a must buy since it's going to be hard to outdo the one from the 2 pack.

I've preordered them just in case I decide to get them, but right now the shading bits turn me off.

I can't agree. The GI Joe panel was amazing and the Power Rangers one was well done.

In more ways than one, but not just because of the Marvel panel. An hour before the panel the convention we were planning to go to next year put up their hotel links. Unfortunately, their website crashed so no one could access the links and by the time the site was up again after 75 minutes, both hotels were fully booked. It was a complete waste of an hour I could have been doing stuff for before the Marvel panel, and then having a 2 hour panel of nothingness just made things even worse.

Probably two waves of 4 and then 5 exclusives.
