I've found myself passing on many recent mutant waves in the past couple of years, maybe grabbing a figure or two that has never been made before, but this wave has pretty much got me, just waiting for the BAF reveal. If it is Random, I'm all in. Vulcan is a newer-ish big bad and that's awesome, and he is a heavy hitter. Siryn, Havok and Maggot are all ones I would pick up. I'm assuming the Sabretooth will be on the new AOA Sabretooth buck with some modifications for his original or classic outfit, so that's great... I sold off my other molds of this figure since none were the right scale - too small. I will even buy another Wolverine, I'm just hoping it is Albert. That figure I would not only buy, but keep in my collection as well.

Spectacular set of action pics! Makes me almost wish I had backed the sentinel last year... almost. I'll save my money for all the figures coming out yet this year and next.

I've divested myself of nearly all my Marvel Select figures, but this one looks amazing, and who knows when we will finally get a Marvel Legends version. Just may have to pick this one up. And while on the Iron Man villians topic, we never got a good cross section of his villians back in the day when his movies were setting standards and records in the super hero genre. Give us some IM love Hasbro - Controller, Unicorn, Melter, Whiplash/Blacklash, Crimson Dynamo (mach 2 or 3), Firebrand, and the original and best Blizzard. Thanks for listening.

Well, I looked up the series 2 trading cards online, and Baron Strucker does have a card, so I hope we get him. Also, another figure with a card in the series overlooked is Baron Mordo, a very classic Dr. Strange villian. It would be great to get him too. And Mephisto does not have his own single card in the series, but does appear on a hero versus villian card, against Silver Surfer or Dr. Strange I think. So, I'm going to say we won't get him for a number of other reasons too. Also, I realized the oversized retro Spiderman card figure could easily be the Kingpin in his black suit, hope not, but that would be easy and cheaper for Hasbro.

Hmm, I see Strucker and Mephisto were not in that card wave, bummer. I will have to look up most all of those other characters, not really familiar with them. I forgot about the legless Ultron and Vapor too... would LOVE to get a U-Foes team. After all these years, Hulk villians are still pretty under-represented in the Legends line.

Some nice reveals here. As a Galactus Haslab backer, I am extremely happy to officially hear we will be getting more heralds next year... I hope they are some of the classics, like Air-walker and Firelord. Although technically, The Destroyer was also a herald and we have never gotten Thor's villians in a Thor themed comics based wave, so maybe he will be released as a Deluxe figure with 'cosmic' effects, so he would fill my Thor shelf or Galactus' Heralds shelf. I love the new classic Hammerhead, classic Shocker and a classic Falcon was also needed. As far as the oversized Spider-man Retro card figure goes, it seems the Rhino is really the most likely choice. Perhaps they will give us his late 80's early 90's look with all the added armor plates. Then again, maybe all those asking for a original, classic Rhino may get a new mold based on the old ToyBiz Fearsome Foes box set Rhino. And while I don't know what packaging form it would come in (Deluxe release, BAF, etc.), I have had a feeling we will get a classic Spider-Slayer robot with JJJ's face in the screen area... I just feel some of the the stilt-man parts lend themselves to this figure. But not necessarily predicting a 2022 release. The legless figure has me most curious. My first thought was the classic Korvac with his torso in his flying hover machine thing. But I also wonder if they may make use of the Cannonball blast effect again and give us a classic Nova (Rich Rider) once Walgreens finally has the full figure version in the stores this year. Most literal legless characters that come to mind are large BAF types, and I really doubt we will be getting the likes of: Shaper of Worlds, Supreme Intelligence, etc. On the more obscure side, maybe The Spot would be a possibility. He could be just the upper torso packaged with some 'spots' of different sizes that have a peg on them where the torso could affix to, so it looks like he is coming out of them. I for one would love that figure. At the other end of the legless size spectrum are tiny disembodied head characters like Silvermane's head or those two moloid head characters in glass domes from the Future Foundation. Also very unlikely, just brainstorming here folks. And as for the two never released figures, I am all over a Baron Strucker and a Mephisto... bring on the bad guys!

Random?! That would just make my day, hoping the deduction is true.

I'm really hoping to finally get a classic Avalanche, Destiny, Toad and a more classic costume for Mastermind, now that they at least made his head for that Amazon exclusive box set. I think Lilandra is overdue, they made her head for that Walgreens exclusive Raven Darkholm figure a few years ago, the body shouldn't be too hard. And other figures never made that need plastic are: Random (hey, I really liked the character), Exodus, Chamber, Corsair, Casandra Nova, and maybe a Holocaust BAF (done once years ago, but that flip head-dome always broke off really easily).

Looks well packaged for shipping. Hopefully all you who ordered it will get it safely.

Hey, I'm really liking the height and mass on colossus. I hope they use this baf buc for a classic looking colossus down the line. He would look so much better next to juggernaut and apocalypse compared to the current one we got in the two pack with juggy.

I was really looking forward to getting mine this Friday, but last night I received an email that delivery would be pushed back to October. Darn!

Looking towards next year, Dwight said something about making smaller large figures in the future. I feel 2022 may be a good year to try that. All those who have shelled out over $800 for the Sentinel and Galactus, including tax, will need a breather. If that's the case, I put my vote in for Dragon Man. He seems to be a pretty universally liked/wanted figure and Hasbro has never made him. The old ToyBiz figure goes for a ridiculous amount of money and many sold online are foreign knock-offs. He could be 14-16" tall and tiers could include Franklin and Valeria Richards plus another Future Foundation member like Bentley 23, Leech or Artie. And as a fourth tier, in keeping with this years reveal, we could just get a pair of bifocal reading glasses like he wears these days in the comics.

Wow, just, wow! I don't want to seem ungrateful, but over 30k of us backed this, I think we deserve another herald as a thank you. I mean seriously, Hasbro had no expectations this high, and now their profits from this project will far surpass their highest projections. I think it would be a nice gesture on their part.

You know, I went and took a good hard look at Sue's face, and to quote Austin Powers, "Its a man baby!" It seriously looks like a transvestite. And not that there is anything wrong with transvestites, but its not a good look for the very female sue storm.

Hmm, my posts keep getting screwed up, maybe its my browser. So anyway, I pasted the Sentinel's height in with the rest, but it disappeared when the post went up. So, TB Sentinel – 15.5”
