After re-watching the movie, I don't feel like I need/want any more quantum suit figures. The suits weren't in as much of the movie as I remembered or as much as the promo material made people think they were.

This is perfect, exactly what came to my mind when I saw the post.

My must haves are finished as well. Although that Alpha Flight set definitely merited a pre-order.

2019, by just a bit. I'd say 2018 had a more even distribution of great figures across almost the whole year's waves, but there's no denying that between the X-Men and the 80th Anniversary Avengers 2019 had more star power going for it.

For a year that started out very slow, it sure kicked it into high gear in August. Top figure for me is Nightcrawler, Gambit had that spot until I got Kurt in hand. Can't deny what a killer year it's been for X-Men and Legends in general.

Hmmm...got a few. -Night Thrasher: Didn't want him, didn't expect much from him, but I've been eating those thoughts ever since, great figure, and I'm genuinely glad to have him. -Scarlet Witch (3 pack): Always wanted the 3 pack for this figure, but the figure just turned out that amazing, one of my top figures of the year, and one of the best ML female figures. -Elektra: Same thing as Scarlet Witch, the figure really turned out great, especially with a head sculpt that blew me away. -Thanos (Comic, Walmart Exclusive): It's amazing what a new paint job can do for a figure. Not only was it head and shoulders above the original BAF release, it made for a good comic stand in on anyone's shelf. I'm sure there's a few more, but those are just off the top of my head.

Northstar and Aurora, or just Northstar if there's only going to be one.

Yeah, I was really careful with it too, I'm just glad I could get a replacement at MSRP.

They do look amazing, at least online, I haven't seen them in hand. But at the end of the day I still can't bring myself to shell out $100 for cardboard. I won't say there's anything better in plastic, the best thing that comes to mind is the TMNT sewer playset from 2003/2004, but that is incredibly limited in retrospect.

Yes, but I'd have to see the price point first. For instance I like what Ready Setz does, but for a cardboard diorama they've always seemed too expensive to me. Something in plastic would be ideal, but I'm sure the price would not be something I'd go for.

Already got two releases of Venom in the last five years, in the Absorbing Man and Monster Venom waves, I'm assuming the OP meant Absorbing Man Venom. The figure is pretty much fine as is, and probably the latest release is still online somewhere for a decent price. We don't need another one at this point, there will inevitably be a new Venom release to coincide with Sony's sequel. As great as that would be, it completely ruins the continuity of the Eddie Brock symbiotes we already have, Anti-Venom, Toxin, and Venom all use the same buck, and though it has it's faults it's fine for what it is, and is very true to the source material regarding his origin. Not to mention it's a lot better than needing to see re-releases of all those Eddie Brock variants on the Omega Red buck instead of fresh releases in the Spider-Man waves.

3 Pack Magneto, no question. Select is out of scale, TB Series 3 is incredibly awkward and has some weird articulation left over from its previous life as Iron Man, the original Hasbro attempt is terrible, and while I like the black costume one from last year, it's just not the classic colors.

Hopefully they give it some time though. This pattern of quickly re-releasing the figure is getting tiresome. I definitely want another one, that way I can use that Shadow King head, but I'm willing to wait awhile.

Got a new Gambit off Amazon. Was swapping out the card throwing hand a few days ago on my original one and it just tore off at the peg, wasn't even being rough with it. Definitely something to watch out for if you're like me and swapping the hands every so often.

As long as they got the tone right, I'd be all in.
