  1. I can only hope they will re-release him down the line as a single figure, I can't keep buying figures I don't want or need.
  2. That means my X-cutioner should arrive in the very near future, awesome!
  3. Ah, okay, well its been forever since they made a Skaar, and he had that terrible articulation. So I welcome him back into my collection.
  4. Not at all the wave I was expecting, but happy to see Ikaris, Red Widow, Ka-Zar and Wolfbane made the cut. I imagine the next Avengers?/Mixed? wave will have some of the other characters announced by DMB last year. Gotta have Nefaria! Zabu is a nice surprise and much, much better than the SDCC exclusive version I sold off years ago. I assume the knife tease is for Shanna... wonder if they will cover her head-to-toe in a body suit since her classic outfit is no longer PC. Original Zemo is a nice surprise, just wish we could buy him individually.
  5. Don't forget about the Avengers Wave Displaying Model Behavior listed in his big announcement late last year. All the Wolverine box sets he said were coming have come to pass already. The wave consisted of Count Nefaria, Herald of Thunder Thor, Heroes Reborn Iron Man, Ka-Zar, Ikarus and Iron Man 300 (which I think is actually going to be Ultimo the baf). Of course that's probably not enough figures to make him, so maybe that Wasp and Red Widow are also in the wave. Then again, these could all be totally wrong or a wave that will be released later in the year, so we'll see tomorrow.
  6. So here's my theory. IF, we do get an Avengers wave with baf announcement this Tuesday, I predict the baf will be Ultimo. Not a bad choice in my opinion. A classic Iron Man villian, which of course means he has come into conflict with the Avengers many times over the years. His height won't be the towering height he has in the comics, but still, it would be awesome to have another villian to add to our shelves. A 12"ish Goliath is probably a more safe bet, but from what I have been able to peice together, I think it's Ultimo.
  7. Yeah, don't they usually release a movie wave closer to the premier date? I think you're right.
  8. See, my thinking follows that the more comic figures released - because of less MCU product and a higher count of figures released for the year like 2023 was - the more likely we will get deep cuts as you put it. MCU movies and D+ series are in themselves marketing for MCU figures, not even counting all the actual advertising, PR and movie tie-ins that lead up to a release. I have a strong feeling Hasbro doesn't have to worry as much about product advertising and sales, due to increased awareness and intent to purchase, when their figures are MCU based (especially if the film/series is good). In a weird way, a line that was started as a comic-based line, has partially morphed into a support for movies, television series, cartoons and video games. That was inevitable I suppose. There was a few movie based figures in the old ToyBiz line, but those were usually the peg warmers and most maligned figures by collectors. Anyway, I just feel 2024 may be our best chance to get some of those more obscure comic figures for a while. All these movie scripts, castings, and production schedules are getting back on track, so a large amount of MCU product will be headed our way over the coming years, and therefore MCU Legends figures. So the time is now for getting Marrina, Excalibur Rachel Summers, Mimic, Mr. X, Exodus, Casandra Nova, Stingray, Jack Of Hearts, Starfox, the Shroud, Gargoyle, Son Of Satan, Overmind, Swordsman, Mantis, Immortus, Graviton, Magus, Korvac, Nitro, Attuma, Maelstrom, Baron Mordo, Nightmare, Umar, Shuma Gorath, Titania, Gladiator (Melvin Potter), Death Stalker, the Owl, Bi-beast, Zzzzax, the U-Foes, the Gremlin, Moonwolf, Meteor Man, Cardiac, Stegron, Spot, Will-O-Wisp, the Melter, original Blizzard, Unicorn, Whiplash/Blacklash, Firebrand, Justin Hammer, Balder, Heimdall, Kurse, Airwalker, Tyr, Zeus, Hades, Eternity, the Living Tirbunal and all the other unreleased characters people have been hoping for on this board over the years. Heck, I'm even hoping for the Great Lakes Avengers!
  9. DP Wave announcement seems likely. I just hope we get at least a comic wave announced or at least confirmed. One of the nice things for comic ML collectors is the decreased amount of films and D+ shows this year. It makes room for a lot more comic based figures all around. And here's hoping this year is like 2023, with a huge number of figures released. Once the MCU gets cooking again, I have a feeling we will be flooded with MCU figs and comic based ones will suffer. Fingers crossed!
  10. That would be great. But I wonder if there is the will among collectors right now for another really giant/expensive Haslab. I can't see old FFF being a deluxe figure or even a baf at this point. My hope is for a properly scaled Dragon Man, where he is at his original height of about 16 feet (approx 16 "). Now that would and could be a baf or deluxe.
  11. Well, I certainly hope it happens. We got short shrift back when the first iron man movie blew up and birthed the MCU. That would have been a great time to give us IMs rogues gallery. But 2024 is here, and the technology to make great figures has grown leaps and bounds. So in addition to obvious figures like Crimson Dynamo, Mandarin, Titanium Man, there are lots of classic IM villians that would be perfect in a wave like this. Justin Hammer would be great on the suit buck, Firebrand, Unicorn of course, the Melter, Madame Masque on a decent female buck, original Blizzard - outfit and attitude are so much cooler than that T Bolts character that looks like a Christmas ornament, lol. Of course Titanium Man would need to be a deluxe or baf in a different wave. And a new Iron Monger fits that bill as well. A great two pack of the Blood Brothers would be welcome too... a couple of Thanos lackeys IM battled early in purple puss'es villainous career. Basically, without even getting into which IM armors to include, there are a bunch of great villians to include in this type of wave. Hope Hasbro is listening.
  12. Hmm, I would be up for the Beyonder, Volcana, Titania, new properly scaled Absorbing Man and the Wrecking Crew. Now those are all villians, so that is very unlikely. But we seem to have all the heroes from that story and many recent villians from it also. I'm sure we will get yet another black suit spidey, and maybe Julia Carpenter Spider-woman... she would be a repaint of the recent WC Avengers box set one. It would be very disappointing if we got a bunch of repaints for this wave.
  13. Man, an actual Odin is very high on my list. That drab, undersized alternate baf years ago was just underwhelming. I really hope this is a comic, Big John Buscema style Odin. Regale, massive, marrying the ancient Norse with the futuristic Kirby stylings for the outfit design. That would really be something to look forward to. Destiny, it is waaay past due. And if they finally give Mystique decent legs, I have no problem purchasing her again. Same with Constrictor, probably my favorite Serpent Society member. He has needed a redo for a long time. And if I have to buy Crossbones again to get him, thats okay, especially if he comes pinless this time. Cap deluxe two packs are intriguing. Maybe there will be some villians in there... porcupine, more serpent characters, maybe even an original Bucky. I'll hold off judgement on some of the others on the list as they don't excite me right now. Maybe once we know more. 2024 is looking good!
  14. Heck no, I'm all about getting some Namor villians and Attuma is at the top of the list. We should also get Orka, Krang and Stingray, since Walter is a hero, but clashed with Namor since his first appearance. Also, let's go back and start giving some other heroes their classic villians. Where are Daredevil's, Hulk's, Dr. Strange's and some much need Iron Man villians.
  15. Yeah, this sounds like it would be called an 'Avengers" wave, as they are the catch all for anything not specifically X-men, FF or Spider-man centric. Not sure Wolfsbane would be in this wave and hopefully there is a BAF, and a cool one at that. All these mentioned are on my list, so it's an easy sell for me. And while I love the idea of starting the Eternals in comic form, I like many, would love to see them finish more teams like Alpha Flight, Starjammers, Inhumans, core Defenders, original GOTG, and the Thunderbolts. Many of these are so close, it would be nice to close the book and finish some displays. And I really hope the Thor is the current comic look... different helmet, bare arms, different wrist bands and the shorter tunic/skirt. Like many, I've really come to like this look a lot. Well, fingers crossed and all that.
  16. This figure really pops! I hope the final product colors and wing wash is just as impressive. And the wings, they have an impressive amount of detail, yet they look much thinner than the old TB ones. Those wings were great works of art, but far to heavy for Angel to be able to stand up without falling backwards. Its been so long since I've had the original angel in my collection. This is very welcome!
  17. Lol! Well let's hope Hasbro notices our lists! Yeah, Power Princess is the last figure from the new Avengers wave I haven't received yet and I can't wait. She will definitely be on my top 10 for 2024. Stegron has been asked for by many, but you're right, they know they can sell SM figures for $24.99 without any extra incentives, but there is always hope. You know, if you really want him, there was a 5.5-ish inch Stegron done decades ago, just before Legends began if I recall. He was part of another short-lived line, but if he is a fav of yours, you may want to search ebay for him.
  18. 2023 was actually one of my very favorite years for Legends, and I have been at it since the beginning. I just love seeing everyone's wish lists and favorites from the past year. In fact, there are so many great 2023 ML's I would need a top 10 to include all my worthy ones. In fact, I think I will, lol! 1. The Destroyer 2. Moondragon 3. Drax The Destroyer 4. Clea 5. Sky Cycle Hawkeye 6. Black Widow 7. Blob 8. Ronan The Accuser 9. Khonshu BAF 10. Spiral Honorable mentions: Egghead, Cosmo BAF, Corsair, Avalanche, The Orb, Molecule Man, Baron Von Strucker, Human Fly, Random, Zero, Hyperion, Nighthawk, Blur, Dr. Spectrum, Photon, Karnak, Classic Mockingbird, Mindless One BAF. I totally broke the rules, but it really was a truly banner year for Legends. So many classic villains, long awaited characters and deep C list heroes. But why stop there, here's a top 10 of my wishes for 2024, and even this doesn't come close because, I am only including new, never made, comic version figures. 1. Graviton 2. Executioner 3. Unicorn 4. Jack O Hearts 5. Stingray 6. The Shroud 7. Magus (Adam Warlock's evil future self - think Infinity War era) 8. Immortus 9. Korvac (1st appearance half man, half cyborg 10. Mandarin BAF - Dragon Man I'd love to hear others rule breaking top 10s, lol!
  19. My Top 5 of 2023 are, in no particular order: The Destroyer, Moondragon, Drax The Destroyer, Clea and Sky Cycle Hawkeye. My hopes for 2024 are, again, in no particular order: Graviton, Executioner, Unicorn, Jack O Hearts and Stingray... I can dream!
