Which MCU Nebula? The first or the second one?

Is there another actual MCU version other than the Mantis wave? I suppose the multi-pack version counts. I'm talking the general release.

LOL, the one that's not the What If? version. No matter how that story pans out, that thing looks funky.

[RyanDaly]

Invisible Woman's face is... not good compared to other female faces they have done in the past, but I also wish they would've given her a shorter hair style which has been a big part of her design over the years.

Let's be honest folks:  If Hasbro had packed Cannonball's legs in with some other character (whether completely random or tangentially related), deluxe or otherwise the same people whining about the 3-pack would be whining that Hasbro wasted resources on that instead of giving that character more/better/character-appropriate accessories.  The only thing that MIGHT have genuinely pleased them would be Hasbro sending everyone who got Cannonball a free pair of legs.  Or at least just them.

Too true. Also people would be complaining that they have to buy possibly a figure they don't want to get the effect, the same way you sometimes have to buy a figure you don't want to complete a BAF

Looks like you can use the Reed figure from the Ronan wave for this team and that makes me really happy.

Do the blues match that well? Did someone post a picture?

You have to have premium for the hand ninja and 3 pack.  Blah.

Yep, I found this out the hard way too. I refuse to pay $50 just for "early access." That's bogus. I really want the X-Force 3 pack and a couple of black ninjas  - but I'm not giving them an extra $50 to do so. I also saw that they say these aren't going to ship until March 2022.

Exactly... Does anyone know when sales for Non-Premium Pulse members will start??

If it's anything like in the past, maybe 5 PM eastern.

[RyanDaly]

I wish this was the Fantastic Four they released. Not even being ironic.

[JbombTheGreat]

Just found out the hard way that you have to be a PREMIUM Pulse member to order the FF Pulse Exclusive variants. I don't think that was mentioned anywhere yet so I thought I would share that info. I wanted both of those figures but am certainly not paying $50 for a membership just so I can order these exclusives.

If it was only early access, I would probably agree, but I got the Premium Access in part for free shipping. Most of my orders on Pulse aren't entire waves, they're single figures that wouldn't qualify for free shipping otherwise. And if I've done that, like, seven or eight times this year, the savings on shipping pretty much offsets the cost of Premium membership. 

[McHogan]

Was able to get through and buy the Pulse Exclusive Johnny and Sue as well as 3 Hand. Given up on finding 3 more red in the wild so my 6 Ninja army is 3 red and 3 black

Figure even Pscho Man and High Evolutionary won't be too difficult to find in stores. I've yet to not see every retro Legend a couple of time each so not sweating them.

Man, I thought I was screwed. Had Pulse up on my work computer then it suddenly stopped working.  Had to quickly switch to phone and tiny numbers and letters.. all good, got what I was wanting

Then it sounds like all of the Pulse exclusives require a premium membership, Fantastic Four figures included. And yes, March of next year is a long time to wait for the figures.

Agree, free shipping is the selling point for me. My orders from the Sentinl and Galactus alone make up this year's $50 premium. Then all the other buys here and there.. more than worth the cost.

Following yesterday's live-stream reveal, shown below are official images and details for the new Marvel Legends X-Force (Rictor, Domino & Cannonball) 3-Pack from Hasbro. This set is being sold as a HasbroPulse and ShopDisney exclusive and available for pre-order now. Look for it to be released on 3/1/22.

Domino's past remains a mystery, but the few facts that are known prove her to be a courageous fighter and a loyal friend. Rictor possesses the mutant power to generate concussive waves of vibration. Cannonball can propel himself through the air at fantastic speeds, and, while doing so, his ''blast field'' renders him impervious to pain. All three are collected in this X-Force Action Figure Set from the Marvel Legends series, which includes 10 accessories.

Cannonball comes with legs and blast off effect bottom piece and alternate head.

Domino comes with 2 weapons and alternate hands

Rictor comes with alternate hands and power effect pieces.

[JayC]

[RyanDaly]

Ranking the eight Fantastic Four figures in this release, gotta be:

1. Psycho-Man
2. Human Torch
3. High Evolutionary
4. The Thing
5. Invisible Woman (clear)
6. Mr. Fantastic
7. Human Torch (Johnny)
8. Invisible Woman

It pains me because Reed and Sue are my favorite members of the family, but Ben and Johnny are already the more dynamic and cool looking designs, and Hasbro did a great job with them, whereas Reed and Sue each have some nagging imperfection.

Shopdisney.com has the X-Force set up.

The premium wall is down. You can order them on Pulse now.

You wouldn't have paid shipping for the Sentinel or Galactus anyway. I think the cutoff for free shipping is any order over $50.

I rarely buy anything from Pulse, my last purchases from there were this time last year when I bought the Sentinels, Hellfire Club and some army builder figures. I've preferred to do all of my preorders through BBTS because I like their ease of managing them as time goes on - they also offer Pile of Loot and flat $4 shipping. The figures tend to cost around $2 more each on average - but I think that the other plusses are worth it... There have been many times where I've found thing that I had pre-ordered at mass retail first (or just changed my mind) and wanted to cancel and BBTS makes that easier than anyone else I've found.

If I did all of my pre-orders through Pulse, even then I'd question if the $50 was worth it because it's rarely only 1-2 figures at a time. Anything more than 2 standard figures at a time and the shipping is likely free anyway....

Sweet!! Thank you so much for the heads up! I was able to go in and order the X-Force 3 pack and a pair of ninjas. I probably wouldn't have gone back and tried again any time soon without you letting us know. You rock!

[Dodge76]

Got my X Force 3 pack! 🙂

[tarot]

Got the f4 wave PO from bigbangcomic for ireland and the xforce from indemand from  English. Still debating on getting the variant siblings
