I’ve been wanting this Rogue figure since it was originally announced (and then cancelled) as part of the Wolverine wave with the Puck BAF. She will be part of my Utopia / Second Coming era X-Men display. Pyro is also very welcome... while there are still too many gaps to do a proper Brotherhood, he will nonetheless add to the pretty impressive group of evil mutants Hasbro’s put out over the last few years.

I found the retro Spider-Man at Target in New Albany, IN. It was the only figure left from the case(s) that the store had.

There was a Target logo on the screen with them... I’m guessing that after the fiasco of the G.I. Joe Classified Target exclusives this morning that someone told them to gloss over the release details...

I’ve got a few ideas... - Excalibur (Captain Britain, Meggan, Phoenix, Shadowcat, Nightcrawler) - Warriors Three (comic) - Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (Toad, Mastermind, Pyro, Avalanche, Blob. I know this was never a roster together, but those are the key characters.) - Iron Man Hall of Armor (first appearance, underwater, Silver Centurion, and Modular)

If I were to put together a “best of” X-Men wave I would think: - Brown costume Wolverine (as much as people don’t want to see Wolverine take up a slot, we know he’d have to be included. The Juggernaut wave figure and even the Retro figure are both expensive on the secondary market) - Cyclops (Jim Lee) - Rogue (Jim Lee) - Magneto (from the Amazon 3-pack) - Iceman (Juggernaut wave) - Psylocke - Gambit, Bishop, Beast, or Cable (Sasquatch wave) The only BAF that really makes sense for just a rerelease is Apocalypse.

Moon Knight is back in stock on Walgreens’ website... I was able to submit an order and got a confirmation e-mail! https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/marvel-legends-series-moon-knight-preorder/ID=300399793-product

So during the Hasbro Pulse Facebook livestream on Friday there was a comment made that they were looking at figures from the House of X / Powers of X / Dawn of X relaunch of the X-Universe. If and when Hasbro gets to the House of X designs, what would be your wishlist? I'd love to see a box set rather than a wave so that the waves can continue to be a mix of 90's and older figures that we still need. A box set featuring the cover of House of X #1 would cover all of the major hitters: - Professor Xavier (easy with the Sunfire buck and a new head) - Magneto (Apocalypse wave head, Moon Knight cape, X-Force Deadpool belt, Bucky Cap buck, new secondaries for gauntlets. In a perfect world it would have swappable bare arms like the Walgreens Reed Richards so that we can get the costume to go along with Cyclops, Magik, and Emma Frost) - Cyclops (Puck Cyclops repaint with the X-Force Deadpool belt) - Wolverine (X-Force repaint) - Marvel Girl (new head and skirt are about the only parts needed. This would also give us the classic Marvel Girl costume.) A lot of characters are just using classic costumes, so the only other characters I can think of that have newer costumes would be Storm and Psylocke (now Captain Britain). -

WTF.... I have been trying on my iPad, iPhone, and computer and I can’t add Moon Knight to my cart.

Thanks for looking!

For anyone who has the Sandman Wave Green Goblin loose... are the gauntlets a secondary piece that’s fitted over the forearms, or are the gauntlets part of the forearm sculpt? Thank you!

So I think we all know that Wolfsbane is the only 90s X-Factor figure that isn’t made or soon to be released (Strong Guy). Thinking about the necessary parts for a figure, the only things that aren’t already sculpted and being used are arms and legs with fur sculpted on them. Hasbro obviously has to get repaints out of new tooling to justify the investment, so what characters could be made utilizing these new parts if they were created? Of the top of my head I’m thinking: - Wolfsbane (90s X-Factor) - Feral - Thorne (Feral’s sister... d-list character, but it gets mileage from the tooling) - Tigra (not that familiar with all her costumes, but I imagine there is more than one Tigra figure that could be made with these new parts) Any other feline or lupine type female characters out there?

I got Leader (the only figure I wanted from the Gamerverse wave) from Hasbro Pulse on Monday and my gray Black Widow delivered from Walmart today... and I don’t think I have anything else on pre-order other than fan-channel exclusives. Is there any news on when the next wave is planned? I think I’ve got the gray Beast due in June, and Retro Mysterio and Kingpin are the only other available pre-orders I can think of that are out there. I know the Deadpool wave with the Strong Guy BAF was originally announced for a May release, but since Hasbro hasn’t even confirmed the final figures that original release date is clearly not going to happen. I mean, given the relentless pile up of waves right on top of each other over the last few years I’m ok with a bit of a break to catch my breath. This week’s “Fan First Friday” on Hasbro Pulse is Marvel, so hopefully we’ll get some info then.

Got my gray Black Widow from Walmart today. I’m really kind of surprised I didn’t get cancelled or delayed like others have.

Marvel NOW Thor... his costume up until he became a herald of Galactus was the same except for the Uru metal arm and head. If Hasbro included swappable left arms and two different heads (long hair, no beard and short hair, beard) then it could be both versions. Anything is better than the half-@$$ed version they did retooling the Return of Marvel Legends Thor.

A lot of the same ideas but maybe one or two twists... 1. Modular Armor Iron Man 2. James Rhodes Iron Man (80th Anniversary body with a flatter red and yellow paint deco; regular helmet, horned helmet, and James Rhodes head) 3. Mandarin (with alternate green skin head and hands) 4. Crimson Dynamo (the one we all want) 5. Blacklash (it is inspired by the Toy Biz figure line) 6. Director Maria Hill (add in the jet pack from the gray Black Widow and give us a new female S.H.I.E.L.D. figure that doesn’t reuse a Black Widow body) Fan Channel Exclusive - Stealth Iron Man (80th Anniversary repaint)
