Taking these with a grain of salt, but I remember feeling the same last year and look how that turned out... Been asking for a Chameleon and Adam Warlock for the longest! Would be so stoked to get those! I would also love to add Spider-man Unlimited to the collection. Also excited for a Mandarin. 2025 is shaping up to be an awesome year!

X Factor, cool why no human looking Beast?

Mandarin, Cortez, green suit Banshee (finally), and Adam Warlock are cool. As well as a battle damaged Spidey (I was literally going on about the need for battle damaged characters esp Spidey)  But....

How many redos can we get? And redos of characters that aren't super needed or just done recently. Another Moonstone? Only if she's in another suit, maybe Meteor. US Agent was Just done! War machine Punisher? Or another Punisher, I just ordered one a few days ago.  Really disappointing list imo. Rehash, rehash, rehash.

Its been ... i guess forever and they havent given us a proper Perez era Beast so dont hold your breath on a human version...

The og X-Factor has been my most wanted X team for sooooo long so I'm pretty excited to see that. Hopefully they don't take super long to follow through with the rest of the crew but we all know how they are with teams.

If Jean is indeed green & yellow then Cyclops should be blue & yellow.

If Scott is Yellow and Blue, I would be tempted to buy him

Here's my take away from this.... some interesting things here

X-Factor Figures:
-Jean Grey (green and yellow) - Likely as yes here for me as one of my main collections is ladies of marvel.
-Cyclops - I'm already gonna say easy pass, I have my ideal cyclops figures, don't think I'd care about this one.

X-Force Figures:
-Warpath & X-23 (2-pack) - Warpath would probably just be a gray/black repaint of the previous figure, and We already have that X-23, so probably a Pass
-Archangel - Already have an Archangel, Black one is an easy pass

Dark Avengers:
-Moonstone - since it's Dark avengers themed I'd imagine it's her as Ms. Marvel, and I'm interested in that.

Spider-Man Figures:
-Retro Chameleon - wonder if this would be comic or animated, bet Animated and so that's a no, if comic I'd say it wouldn't be much different from the last one and I have that so pass.
-'90s Clone Saga Kaine - this has me excited, I have been wanting a Kaine for a long time, and him as Scarlet Spider doesn't count.
-Female Electro - Lady Electro! sign me up, love this
-Spider-Boy (Hinted By Hasbro At SDCC) - Yes New character, but not that enthralled by it either.
-Spider-Man Unlimited (Hinted By Hasbro At SDCC) - this is a maybe, and only on the strength I loved that show and that costume design.
-Agent Venom - New Agent Venom, so down for, never got a black one, so I need that, because Symbiotes.
-Battle-Damaged Spider-Man - Super easy pass.
-Anti-Venom - Yes Yes Yes This figure kinda sucked, and I skipped it because I had the superior Diamond figure, but I'd love it updated in ML form.

Sony PlayStation Universe:
-Black Cat - Even though I don't do Game figures, I love this look for Black Cat so it's a maybe.
-Ghost Spider - Can't Imagine this is going to look unique, and I already have a Gwen so probably no.
-Alternate Suit (coded as 099) - Likely easy pass.

X-Men Figures:
-Banshee (green attire) - Maybe, I'm pretty cool with the Banshee we got.
-Professor X (X-Men '97 hover chair) - PLEASE, I need a professor X in hover chair.
-Generation X Husk - YESSSSS, more Gen X thank you, love this
-Fabian Cortez - Cortez, oh that's a cool one for sure, I'm into this.
-Retro Mystique - I'd consider this if it's like way better then the one I have.
-Deadpool (Single version that came with the Bob 2-Pack) - Easy Pass, Have it.

- ROM Space Knight (Confirmed by Hasbro at SDCC) - Well obviously this figure is amazing.

-Adam Warlock (classic) - Please finally a Classic Adam.

-Ultimate Miles Morales - This would be a classic comic Miles, so I'd likely get this, because I currently only have the video game one as a stand in.

Sony Movies:
-Tobey Maguire Black Suit Spider-Man - hells to the no, pass.

-MCU Figures:
-Daredevil (Born Again) - Pass
-Punisher (Born Again) - Pass again.

-Marvel vs. Capcom Line:
-Shuma-Gorath - OMG, dreams do come true.
-Juggernaut - likely repaint, probably no.
-Captain America & Venom - Likely again repaints.
-War Machine & Omega Red - and see above ^
-Wolverine & Silver Samurai - ^
-Psylocke & Thanos - If this could be the Ideal Psylocke, well I need that, but if it's just a repaint of one of the previous ones, no.

Iron Man Wave:
-Iron Man (unspecified) - Don't care about an Iron Man.
-Mandarin - Finallly Mandarin, yes yes yes
-Crossbones & Constrictor (2-pack) - Depending on how much better these are then the figures I have, but probably a yes since that Constrictor I have needs an update.
-Punisher (unspecified, he doesn't say this but the most logical for a Iron Man Wave would be Punisher War Machine) - probably a no since if it is Punisher War Machine, I have one.
-U.S. Agent - 90's outfit I'm guessing from the Iron Man figures line from back in the day, which means hell yes, I loved that look.

Some absolutely must-haves (Adam Warlock, Mandarin, Banshee, Shuma Gorath, Chameleon), and some great upgrades (Mystique,  Psylocke/Thanos, Captain America, Juggernaut, Warpath, Archangel, Black Cat). 2025 is looking like another great year.

Really hoping there's some Chinese whipsers involved here. I can reluctantly overlook U.S.Agent if they do his Force Works costume since it's tied to Iron Man, but I'd hate to see the Punisher, even if it's Punisher War Machine (they did that figure not long ago too).

Would really love an Iron Man wave to be 100% Iron Man-themed. I know Hasbro slips in some oddballs to get them out there, but the reason Spider-Man waves get their fair share of Ghost Riders, Night Thrashers and Shang-Chis is because he's the character who gets the most waves. Iron Man waves are few and far between.

There's a lot on that list I'm looking forward to checking out. Psylocke. Cortez. Female Electro. Constrictor. Moonstone as Ms. Marvel. Mandarin. Hopefully the reveals aren't too far away.

I REALLY hope that U.S. Agent is the Force works version. I mean...it has to be, right? It's the retro Iron Man wave, and we just got classic U.S. Agent very recently, like within the last two years.

Hoping we get a look like this for Mandarin, maybe with an alternate green animated head

I'd just want them to do the classic comic rendition. The cartoon Mandarin was changed into a green alien, probably because the producers didn't want to get embroiled in any stereotype claims, but frankly they went too far. If I remember that "Mandarin" wasn't even of Asian descent; his name was Arnold Brock, and he got transformed into the green skin-pointed eared guy. If they're gonna change him that much why even call him Mandarin.

If US Agent is the Force Works version, then he's okay especially as he was planned for the original Toy Line. Punisher should be thrown out and replaced with an actual Iron Man character

I like the X-Factor two-pack. I think it comes with the hope of future X-Factor releases. I know some people prefer the red Jean Grey costume. I'm sure if the green one sells well, the red wouldn't be far behind.

I would definitely get Husk, Cortez, and maybe Prof. X and Banshee. I have the old green Banshee, and while it isn't great, I'm also not super fond of that era. Wheelchair/Hoverchair Professor is a funny concept for a toy. I think I would prefer one of his many ambulatory representations. Like his armor from Fatal Attractions, or I believe he wore a blue and yellow in the Phalanx crossover. Or his yellow and black X.

I'm not super interested in the video game ones, but it could be a good way of getting some nice updates.

I would totally be in for that one but I honestly just think a more modernized version of USA is probably most likely. Considering the last version was just the naked body painted version with boots. Which was still a vast improvement over the other. Either way I'm in.

Yeah, I don't really care about first appearance Mandarin. He's one of those characters who just has a history of butt ugly costumes, IMO. There's very few of them I'd actually want in figure form, so my preference would be the one I posted or the Acts of Vengeance armor.

and the AOV armor is actually a very easy figure for them to make as all they have do is retool the Stryfe figure.

My collection once included every Toybiz Marvel Legends figure (and most of the Spiderman and X-Men Legends too). Toy design improved so much that Hasbro was able to get me to turn my entire collection, and now with pinless tech and computer printing, they still have me replacing figures.  Pretty happy with my collection though and with Adam Warlock I am that much closer to having all the figures I want. Now if we could just get an updated original X-Men set, Marvel Monsters, comic Daredevil (on the correct sized buck), Valkyrie, Hela, Warriors Three, and New Mutants, my collection will be complete!

Oh no argument, that costume was meh. In fact it was so "meh" that I don't think they ever standardized it outside of the colors. Sometimes it was a wrap around tunic, sometimes long sleeves, sometimes a robe, sometimes no cape etc. Still, that's what I think of when I think "Mandarin". The Molecule Man/Red Skull figure would actually be a very easy buck for it.

Ugh no this was a hideous time for the Mandarin, I'd shriek if they gave us one of these looks, I'd make noise then buy it however since I just want a darn plastic Mandarin at this point, but I'd rather almost any other look for him, but now look we are giving Hasbraz Ideas.

Surely they wouldn't go that goofy into a classic Mandarin. This is more along the lines of what I was/am hoping for..

Though, I'm still down for a robe update to toss up on my 90s shelf. I like this robe design better than the other.

Gimme the robe, really that's the Mandarin I want, but hey I'm still sure they are scared and are going to give use some lame suited figure, just give us a Mandarin, it's the second biggest marvel hero's villain, and yet still nothing, Iron Man's a plenty but his villains are Nill it's annoying.

But I could just go on and on about how we don't get enough villlains anyways... like really no Mandarin? but like no Baron Mordo, no Moleman, no Comic Black Order, a wide release of Hela, no Bushman, no Killmonger whatever I could go on and on, Hasbuds stinks at giving us villains. I'm mad about it all.

I agree. My collection is X-Men focused so I would prefer that.
