So, it looks like 2 packs are back.

So the signs are looking good that the 2 packs are coming back. I know it's still in speculation mode, but past history of the ML lines seems to point that this is the likely and logical next step for the Infinite line, so I'm feeling pretty good about it.

 

Next question is in what arrangement? Currently it looks like we're getting Peter & MJ and Dark Phoenix & what's probably going to be classic Cyclops. Are we to assume the standard theme to be couples, or male/female, or anything goes? Personally, I like the male/female theme. This could encompass couples, brother & sister teams or just allies. If this is the case, this could be a perfect chance for Hasbro to address both highly demanded figures and figures badly in need of update. I just hope they don't fumble the ball on a golden opportunity.

 

There are a ton of potential 2 packs ranging anywhere from "no brainers" to the fairly obscure. Let's see if Hasbro's paying attention. My assortments are as follows.

 

No Brainers:

1. Cloak & Dagger - why has this never happened yet?

2. Daredevil (black suit) & Elektra

3. Northstar & Aurora - so easy to do

4. Deadpool (X-Force) & Domino

5. Iron Man (modern comic) & Rescue (Pepper swap head)

 

Fairly Obscure:

1. Guardian & Vindicator

2. Maddrox & Siryn - I've wanted both of these forever

3. Longshot & Dazzler (blue leotard)

4. Quicksilver & Crystal - perfect chance for that QS update

5. Luke Cage & Jessica Jones (Jewel costume)

 

Yes, it's just another shameless chance for a wish list, but Hasbro can really use this to not only get some characters out there that may not fit into any current waves but also redo some figs like comic IM, Quicksilver and Domino who are in bad need of the current ML treatment.

Your "no-brainers" are on point! And I agree with you on the Cloak & Dagger issue.

I think the 2-pack will be exclusives for a while but I think that the 2 ones that were "Reveal" (note the quotations) do seem to point to one Idea I had years ago where each year would follow a different theme each year with this year being famous couples (if Phoenix comes with Cyclops like we think or a Wolverine which seems very likely).

I definitely agree with ALL your pairings, but I don't think we need another X-Force Deadpool, so I'd do a Domino/Cannonball remake.

 

Cloak/Dagger would make sense for release with the series due to air on Freeform sometime this year.

 

Others that I can think of:

Rogue (maybe an 80s bodysuit look?) and Gambit (update)

Psylocke and Archangel (blue/white halo costume, interchangeable blue & flesh tone heads)

Professor X (hoverchair) and Lilandra OR Moira MacTaggart

Black Widow and Hawkeye OR Captain America OR Iron Man (ideal for Black Widow update)

Sersi and Black Knight

Silver Sable and Spider-Man?

Mystique and Sabretooth

Ya, Cannonball would be cool, too. I was just trying to get as many headliners in there as possible. I also had Gambit & Avengers Rogue but cut them assuming they'll both eventually be made in an X-Wave. Also, I agree we are in desperate need of a comic Black Widow update, just wasn't sure to pair her with. We have 2 versions of Hawkeye & several Captain America's already. Maybe with a modern Cap update, cuz the last Cap NOW sucked.

X-Men two packs could be a good way to get out multiple versions of popular characters, such as the upcoming Dark Phoenix if it's appearing in a two pack. 80's Dazzler and Longshot would be sweet. Domino could be matched up with a classic Cable. Maybe an FA Storm with Warpath or Green/Yellow Banshee, then a different version of her could take a spot in the next X-Men wave.

 

Anyway I love the idea of comic based two packs, whatever they are - my brain is just in X-Mode right now. Either way I hope it comes to fruition.
