  1. This one was tough for me.  While I'm not wild about any of the male choices, there are 3 females I'd love to see on the team...Firestar, Siryn, and Penance.  In the end, Firestar won my vote, but I'll be happy if any of the 3 make it.

    Micromax was an interesting contender, too.  I'm a fan from his Excalibur days, but I never imagined he'd ever be a contender for the core X-Men.  

  2. From what I've read on other sites, the team is Nightcrawler, Pixie, Dr. Nemesis, Juggernaut, Blindfold, and Black Tom Cassidy.  I haven't heard Forget Me Not as one of the team, but that DEFINITELY is Forget Me Not in the photo and not Black Tom.  Plus, Black Tom is a regular in X-Force (not that they utilize him enough there to warrant not putting him on another team).  I was hopeful that Black Tom would be on this team so he could be partnered back up with Juggernaut.  Oh well...

    If it was classic Crystal, I agree. However, they could go for the Crystal from the brown jacket era. All it would take is repainting the exclusive Black Widow from last year. And with Black Knight and Sersi coming to the big screen soon, Hasbro might definitely have their eyes on this '90s Avengers era.

    Yes!  This is exactly what I'm hoping for.  Though, I'd like her yellow costume underneath the jacket, lol.  Like on this cover...(though, I'd honestly take a Crystal no matter what costume they chose)

    Anyone else excited about Maggot? He's never had a figure until this wave. I know toybiz made a prototype of him for their old 5 inch line, but it was never released.

    I just realized my wish from my last post of Rachel or M has already been dashed because Maggot is the last spot of this wave.  Would help if I read all the posts prior, lol.  Well, I'm extremely excited for Maggot!  I was kinda hoping we'd get a box set of him with Marrow and Cecilia Reyes from the cover of X-Men when they joined the team.  However, I'll take Maggot however I can get him.  

  5. Really excited about Siryn, Darwin, Havok, and Vulcan.  I'm wondering if this is Logan Wolverine or if possibly it's Laura in her current Wolverine costume (which is just a bit different than the Laura Wolverine we already have).  Maybe they'll put her on a taller buck since she's aged a bit?  If that's the case, I'll be pretty happy with Wolverine.  I don't need another Logan or short Laura.  If it is indeed Logan, then I'm leaning towards the 7th figure being a female (since many waves consist of 2 women), and then I'm hoping for Rachel or M.

  6. I may be in the minority on this one, but I'd love to see Crystal finally get a figure and she'd fit in nicely in a FF retro wave.  I know Marvel is pretending the Inhumans don't exist after they tried to ram them down our throats in an attempt to have them become the next X-Men, but prior to that mess, I really loved the Inhumans, and I want more than just Black Bolt and Medusa in my collection.  All of this said, I'm 99.9% sure Crystal won't be one of the figures in this wave.  But, a guy can dream...

    Errr....what! Ummm.....longtime fans? Huh, I'm sure all three of them will be ecstatic. Let's not act like this book is something it isn't fellas. Nobody asked for this and the next person that says "Man, I wish they would reboot a marginally successful comic series based on those relatively lukewarm supporting characters The Eternals that never really met expectations.", will be the first. And I'm sure Stan Lee and Jack Kirby are just looking down with baited breath on the prospect of yet another one of their creations being turned into another politically driven train wreck at light speed. Let's all just call it for what it is and recognize that this book was just supposed to try and cash in on the boost of interest the movie was going to be bringing to the characters. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the plague is gonna spoil those plans. 

    LMAO!!!  This literally made me laugh out loud...it's exactly what I was thinking, too, just put much more eloquently than I could have put it.

     

    I'll buy the first 4 or 5 issues (I pretty much do that with all new Marvel books) and see if I get hooked.  I'm betting I won't, as I've never been a fan of these characters.  However, I'm like a nosy busy body in the Marvel Universe, and always have to know what's going on in each corner of the universe, lol.  That's really the only reason I'll buy the first few issues.

    Deathbird was in the 5 inch Toy Biz line but I don't think was ever done in 6 inch. She's been on my want list for awhile. I always kind of assumed Bishop getting stuck with her in a small ship for a few months contributed to him going crazy chasing Hope through time and trying to kill her. I definitely want a Terrax, who I think was in the same boat. I figure Hasbro is probably saving the Fantastic Four flood for when MCU does their movie though which still seems to be at least a couple of years off.

    And now that we kind of have Lilandra, Deathbird would be great!

    I'd also love to see the Starjammers make it into the Legends line.  They might be a good box set offering.

    Given what we know about this year's releases already, though, it's probably:

    1. M.O.D.O.K. as BAF in the next Gamerverse wave
    2. U.S. Agent from Walgreens
    3. Firestar in one of those Spider-Man "TV" packs
    4. Stilt-Man as BAF in the customary New Year's Spider-Man wave

      My hopes:

      1. Lady Deathstrike
      2. Spiral
      3. Magneto (Age of Apocalypse)
      4. Destiny

      Make it happen, Hasbro.

      Time to decide if Venompool counts as an X-Men character and start plotting how to get him...

      I want EVERYTHING on your "hopes" and "given what we know" lists!  These are EXCELLENT!

    I really hope it's Crystal!!  I'd LOVE to get more Inhumans.

    You would have to be referring to my post where I asked where the Xmen related guesses are coming from. How exactly is that raining on someone’s parade? It would be different if I said ANYTHING derogatory about Xmen, your guesses , or ANYTHING at all. I even asked if I missed some info. So where is this parade ruining ?

    you know what’s worse than raining every ones parade? Completely misreading a post then slamming others for a simple question

    Oh, that was a simple question that wasn't leading to anything?  OK, then I apologize for "misreading" or actually just thinking you were leading your comment in a direction that was negative.  As I said, I'm usually just a reader of these boards, and I see where questions like that usually go.  However, guess that wasn't your intent.

    X-related? Not X-related? X-rated? Who cares. People are just having fun speculating. Who cares...  Why ruin someones good time? Let the imagination station run wild baby. I'm hoping for a new Thanos and Firelord!

    Firelord would be AWESOME!!!!!!

    Also, totally agree with you...but as someone who usually just views the boards w/o posting, I've noticed that there's always at least one person trying to rain on everyone's parade.

  13. It's not that I'm stuck on these hints needing to be X-related, however, they did mention on a previous Fan First day that they were going to do figures based on House of X / Powers of X looks.  So, if these are hinting at an X Wave, then my guesses would be Updated Toy Biz: Toad, Angel, Longshot, Avalanche, or Blob, Never had a figure: Destiny, Captain Britain Betsy, Cerebro Helmet Xavier, Moira, or Exodus, Updated early Hasbro: Banshee or Rachel, fig from 3.75 could be Angel, Longshot, Blob, Banshee, Firestar, etc.

    If it's not X-Related, then there are so many options...Updated Toy Biz: Falcon, Maestro, Mandarin, Wiccan, Hulkling (maybe it's an Empyre wave?), Never had a figure: Mantis, Swordsman (thinking Empyre tie-in), Crystal, Updated early Hasbro: Tigra, Classic She-Hulk, Madame Masque, Viper, fig from 3.75 could be Falcon, Mandarin, Firestar, etc

    We know House of X / Powers of X are coming and Empyre was supposed to launch earlier this year, but due to Covid is out now.  So, Hasbro may have planned for these to be themes towards the end of 2020.

  14. I think this is awesome news.

    I kind of knew something was on the horizon since Blue/Gold/Red all ended.  The way editorial stepped in and changed the plans that the writers of those books had at the end, said they had a certain direction they were heading in.  Then Disassembled happened, which was leading the X-Men to their darkest days (as seen in Uncanny now) and Age of X-Man.  So, POX and HOX must spin right out of how Age of X-Man and Uncanny end and then give us a new direction for the line.  I'm really hopeful it'll be good.  I didn't read Hickman's Fantastic Four (though I know it's seen as a great run on the book), but I did read his Avengers run and I really had a hard time reading that book when he was on it.  I found it very confusing and I couldn't understand a lot of what was going on, plus there were SOOOO many characters in the book, so I'm hoping I don't feel the same way about his X-Men.

  15. Definitely getting Hydro-Man, Scorpion, and Spider-Woman.  I don't really collect movie figs, but I think they all look great!

    Also, I'm with Monster Chris on the subject of the alternate arms for Hydro-Man.  I would never display him without the water arms, so I don't need regular arms for him.  However, I can't say the same for the upcoming Cannonball.  I REALLY hope that Hasbro decides to give us some legs for him before he's released.
