That the thing. I dont think it a full wave. I think it be like the xforce wave and have it mixed woth modern and classic versions

I hope you're right! I'm all over some Age of Apocalypse, but I'd rather get the outback X-Men first! On the other hand, if Morph, Weapon X, and X-Man are the only AOA figures in the wave, I'll be a little underwhelmed by the opening output. I get wanting to do Morph and X-Man, who have had presences in the Exiles and 616, and understand the Logan rule, but those definitely wouldn't've been my first choices.

That's not the impression I got watching the panel. They made it sound like not only was this going to be a full AoA wave, but that there might be more than one full AoA wave and then some (exclusives, etc...) next year.

Maybe "AoA 25th Anniversary" will be their "MCU 10th" or "Marvel 80th" subline next year for all we know at this point.

I'm surprised how few Age of Apocalypse fans we seem to have on here. It's one of the definitive X-Men events.

I thought I'd be more excited for an AOA line too. Perhaps it's because Hasbro revealed characters that I didn't really care for in the series. A great selling point for this wave would've been to do Joe MAD! versions a la the Alex Ross 80th Anniversary figures. Imagine a Joe MAD! Rogue or a Joe MAD! Sunfire or a Joe MAD! Sabretooth.

What makes you think so? I think this may be it for 2019 waves.

 

2018 had:

2x Avengers waves

1x Black Panther wave

2x Deadpool waves

2x Spider-Man waves

1x Venom wave

1x X-Men wave

 

2019 has:

3x Avengers waves

1x Black Panther wave

1x Captain Marvel wave

2x Spider-Man waves

1x X-Force wave

1x X-Men wave

 

Plus we got all the 80th anniversary stuff this year and the X-Men retro wave, which was a lot more developed than previous retro offerings. If there's more coming this year, beyond the one or two 80th sets that still haven't been revealed, I'll be shocked!

Wow, interesting, wonder if they'll pull something out of the hat for xmas sales?
