Do we know if (think that) the Hulkbuster is MCU or Comic-based?

Giving the hints that Dan said about it having another picture for the Iron Man armory, comic.

There is also the rumored Heroes Reborn Iron Man, but I agree I think Hulkbuster will be comic whether that is what Dan was referring to or not.

[AndyL]

Wow. I was late to the party today. Work kept me away from the computer and funny enough my phone as well. Nearly everything here is amazing. But part of me wants to scream WHAT TOOK SO DARN LONG FOR MOST OF THESE? Classic Iron Fist finally. But is it weird that they paired him with the more modern Luke Cage. Not that I'm complaining. We were badly in need of both of these figures. Iron Fist looks amazing. I'm not really happy about the Spider-Man mold being used here but in this case it seems okay as he's never been portrayed as that much of a bigger guy. Also how ridiculous is it that we had to wait this long for a decent Luke Cage. So long freakishly unposeable Power Man. You've been replaced and surprisingly it didn't take that long. Again how crazy is it that we are only now getting Danny Ketch GR? Seriously when they did literally nothing but fumble the ball with that ridiculous Haslab and re-issue some older figures for GR's anniversary I'd given up that we'd ever see a Ketch GR but here he is and I love it. That bike is soooo cool. Skaar is awesomely awesome and I will be happy to shell out my cash for that one. Not a fan of Superior Spidey but I understand the appeal and might partake because he look so freakin cool. My biggest disappointment is with Warbird. Glad she got some more love and I'm glad for the people where weren't able to get the first VHTF one but as usual I just wish they had stayed consistent with her body model. They redid Moonstone on the mold. Why couldn't they keep this one on it. Sure she's got great articulation and that's always a good thing but how nimble does she have to be? I can see it with characters like Black Widow but she basically flies and punches people really hard. Plus she looked really good on the Moonstone model. Whatever the case the face sculpt is marvelous. I'll probably buy it for simply that reason. I get the bubbles in my tummy that that Hulkbuster is just a redo of the MCU version but the size of the box would look to be more to be for the slimmer smaller comic version. So fingers crossed. And the stone/boulder. I don't even want to ponder a guess. Terrax, Avalanche? I don't think anyone is asking for redos of those. Maybe a Rockslide? Sorry. I said I wouldn't even ponder. Yet I did. Great day for reveals.

[ransomz]

Two thumbs up. I'm thinking I'm getting the set.

[Summers71]

Just when I thought I was done with marvel legends, they somehow pull me back in. Love that Danny Ketch Ghost Rider and finally a classic IronFist, now I got to track down the classic PowerMan! 

[GnarlyCharlie85]

Good showing, the ghost rider is the stand out for me. Love the flame wheelie stand nice touch hasbro. Iron fist was my second favorite reveal looks great love the head sculpts on him. Did anyone else think that warbirds shoulders looked weird? Anyway glad for everyone getting things they like and want this year. Already doing better than last year imo keep up the good work hasbro.

[Ironspider428]

That Warbird is very exciting. Not so much because of the character but because of the fact that we now have a clean super-articulated female buck. Black Widow was cool and all but the v-neck killed all reuse potential for Spider-Girls. I would love to see a new Spider-Gwen on this mold. Maybe with Shriek's legs though since these look too thick.

That's great!  Every once in awhile, I take a look at the old Legendary Riders version, but then decide against it.  Can't wait to see this new one!

I echo your sentiments about it taking this long. Its regrettable they did away with the classic point "v" for Iron Fist, 'cause it just looks "off" this way, but pairing him with the modern Cage makes me think they could do another 2 pack down the road. This time with Cage in his classic 70s look (actual ab crunch this time, no exposed armpits, etc) and Iron Fist with his 70s, Byrne era, darker, iridescent/ glossier green and this time with the classic cut  (they did it for Namor's walgreens outing). 

Hate getting my hopes up but they said "85yrs anniversary" more than a few times, so....there are a lot of figures they can pull from with an 85 year bench. Who knows, they may just do that Misty Knight/Colleen Wing 2 pack in the near future....

[leokearon]

Personally the whole 85 years anniversary line smells like a bad gimmick just to probably up the price on these, by making it some pointless anniversary, Hopefully I'm wrong. I haven't heard Marvel themselves planning anything special.

actually the price is pretty on par with most of the line. The only one that's questionable it SSM but with those legs I can understand.

[raziel0203]

This livestream was definitely one of the best in recent memory. Nearly all of these figures are must-gets for my collection! In particular, I am excited for this Ghostrider, especially since I missed out on the last version that came with a motorcycle. Also, very exited to get this classic Ironfist. Hasbro definitely brought the heat on this one!

With Hasbro's ML team's habit of choosing to do figures based on art from that one panel or cover, from that one issue, from that one run, from that one time, from that one year from images that they found about 9 pages deep on Google Images I was hoping they would do Colleen Wing with her bike and talk the G.I. Joe Classified team into letting ML team get some more use out of that motorcycle that Baroness was packed with. I do like the current Misty Knight figure. Sure she could use a little update but I particularly like the body model they used for her the first time. I think it was some variation of the original Scarlet Witch model that has seen very little use since.

[Thwippersnapper]

From this batch of reveals, I’m most excited for Ms. Marvel. That is one gorgeous looking figure and still wow’d over the new, sculpted boot tops!

Skaar, Astonishing and Superior look good but I’ve got no attachment to those so they’re a quick pass. But definitely looking forward to Ketch though I feel like they didn’t nail the firey skull like it had appeared on the pages. Surely that’ll be a project a 3rd party head caster will tackle.

And Iron Fist looks alright, but lacking the V shape of his top + packed with the modern version of Cage has made me not really care to get this duo. It’s a good looking 2pack for what it is but I didn’t  wait all these years just to settle with some modernized classic version of Iron Fist… I need that dude to be classic accurate all the way through. But that’s just me.

[GrtWhiteCustoms]

I would love to see a green Phoenix on the Warbird/Ms. Marvel body!

Amazon has Superior for $25. Not sure how long that'll last so jump on it if you want him cheaper.

Wow great catch. I'd already ordered. Didn't even see that. Does that maybe have something to do with the stone tease?

 

Just a little news for you Amazon shoppers. No sooner than I placed my order for Superior Spider-Man I got a notice that the order had been cancelled and was no longer available. The Wolverine order seems okay. All for the good. I was kind of on the fence about the Spidey figure.

[since83]

Me too. Denied before the order went through. It's mispriced, but I had hoped to sneak in. 

[Ironspider428]

2 more we don't know.

1. Wolverine

2. Spidey

3. Luke and Danny

4. GR

5. Skaar

6. Warbird

7. Odin

8. Hulkbuster

I would assume those last two will be from these options: Mystique/Destiny, Man-Thing, Venom, or Crossbones/Constrictor.

you forgot quicksilver and professor X

[Reno]

I decided to pass on both of these that went up for pre-order today. I'm not that into Otto in Peter's body and still have the green suit one we got years ago. The Astonishing costume is one of my 3 favorite costumes for Logan but quite frankly I only need one and I've already got way too many, so I'm sticking with the X-Men '97 Tiger Stripe as my default.

I'll probably buy all of the others that they showed yesterday + both Hulkbuster and Odin that they didn't. I wonder if Odin will be a re-issue of the BAF (like they tend to do years later) or if it will be a whole new sculpt?

I really wish that they could have revealed at least one new previously unmade character yesterday. We were fortunate to get so many last year. This year so far I believe that it's just Madelyne Pryor, X-Cutioner, Hallow's Eve, Nefaria, Backlash/Whiplash and Lilandra (kind of). After 20+ years I'm getting pretty tired of most of my purchases being updates to figures that I already own. I know that's just part of the business, but I think that I'm nearing my limit and tolerance with it. I'd be a lot happier if they tried to fit at least one previously unmade character in each wave. I really don't feel like that's too much to ask. Even then they'd still never touch but a very small percentage of the overall Marvel character library, which is literally thousands of characters (tens of thousands, actually).

I believe they had it listed with an incorrect lower price and pulled it and canceled those order. Probably be back up with correct price soon.

Those were listed as retro releases in the leak so I'm guessing they'll be on retro cards and not in the anniversary line.
