Finally had time to sit down and watch the live stream from today. Overall thoughts:

Dr. Strange Wave: It's ok but I'll probably skip most of it. I did like Strange's new costume. Glad to also get Wong, especially after Shang Chi.

Target Deluxe figures: The accessories won me over with these two. I know of Ragnarok but I've never read a book featuring him/it. But the 80th Thor is a winner in my book so Ragnarok will be another good figure imo. Strange's Defenders costume wasn't bad. But is this supposed to be Strange at the end of he movie or will it be What If...? Strange making an appearance in the film?

Hulk: I'm probably in the minority, heck maybe even the only, who liked the 20th Hulk. I get why most people don't like the heads. But Hulk, imo, isn't supposed to be looker and the two heads had sort of a 60s/70s vibe. I also really liked the impact accessory.

X-Men wave: Better than Strange's wave but this X-Men wave isn't lighting a fire under me either. FA Sabretooth was the winner of the wave. Syren, Wolverine, and Havok were cool but I won't rush out to get them.

Walgreens exclusives: Will I be able to find them? If so, I'll take Zemo.

Backpack tease: Given that NWH officially comes out tomorrow, my guess is that the back pack accessory Ryan teased belongs to a movie Spiderman as the movie Peter Parkers have all carried back packs. AG's were all blue. TH and TM both carried a tan colored backpack so it could belong to either of them. TH carried a tan backpack on the Washington DC trip so maybe they're teasing a new, more accurate Homecoming Spiderman or a new MCU Peter Parker. It's a little trickier with TM as we don't get a clear shot of his backpack. But if it does belong to TM, then it confirms that Raimi series of figures are on the way.


Overall, not a bad live stream imo but most of the stuff doesn't necessitate an immediate preorder. I was definitely surprised by all of the energy effects and accessories. Makes me wonder if they're trying to compete with Can of Beams.
