  1. Another possibility that could add some variety to an FF wave that required all 4 main members to make an appearance would be to go the exact opposite of symmetry and let’s hit random suits that the various FF members have worn on solo adventures or as part of another team.. for example:

    1 Human Torch ( Avengers Unity Squad suit)

    2 Thing ( Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation / solo series suit) 

    3 that weird hyper sexualized Invisible Woman suit with the boob holes in the FF logo

    4 Mr Fantastic hmm not sure here.. we’ve gotten the best suits and a lab coat accessory.. but you get the idea

    then add two more villains or FF related allies...could extend the life of the sub line

    That's basically clearance wave on arrival,  these secondary characters can work in two packs or multi packs with main characters or as some sort of exclusives, you could also split all these in the waves with strong heavy hitters but full wave of secondary characters is just bad idea for the line. 

    There is some hard truth in what you are saying. While I collect every MCU character, these D+ shows are scraping the bottom here and outside of some long standing characters with multiple appearances (like Jimmy Woo) I’m not so sure the general public are clamoring for one off characters from shows that are barely connected to the greater MCU

    Personally, I love getting all the sub characters but admittedly I’m in a small group that would care to get MCU version of Batroc or Alexander Pierce..

  3. Cool idea. I’m a huge Avengers fan but fear certain characters from other books ( XMen for example ) that were (very) briefly Avengers are longshots to ever get done. A repaint wave could be just the ticket

    1 Sunspot ( Avengers suit)

    2 Cannonball (Avengers suit)

    3 Human Torch ( Avengers Unity Squad suit)

    4 the Thing ( solo series / West Coast Avengers era suit)

    5 Wasp ( Secret Wars suit or Under Siege suit)

    6 Falcon (classic suit)

    7 Triathlon ( either first appearance or his “more popular” ( a stretch I know) suit during the Kang War era. Or shoot, even his 3D Man suit would work.

    maybe 1 new head for the entire wave ( Triathlon, unless I’m forgetting a goggled head out there). The rest are complete repaints.

    There is no reason mephisto can’t be a single card release. I don’t know why people keep saying that. 

    I completely agree. There are much worse looking characters fully exposed on shelves that you could argue are more offensive ( or whatever sensibilities can be inserted here) than a devil looking comic book character. 

    Is it the perception? It’s surely not for the same reasons that people swear we’ll never get a classic Moon Dragon ( sex appeal) ..

    i don’t get it.. one could argue that other characters released could be considered devilish or demonic that have gotten wide releases..

    I always wanted to have a complete collection of all of the characters from the 1st Secret Wars as well, I don't display them all together, but I might if I finally have that line up finished, as it was such an awesome line up and great story to me (as a kid), I don't really care if they are in their exact outfits from the story but close enough would be awesome, in the hero department I'm still missing Prof X. the Villains I'm missing Molecule Man, Wrecking Crew, Titania and Volcana and Dr. Octopus (but that should be remedied soon). Also would be pretty cool to get a Beyonder at some point.

    Yes. Absolutely. The Beyonder is a must. 

    Though his original Secret Wars look is up to your imagination. I guess my “perfect” Beyonder would be the white jumpsuit, black perm look from Secret Wars II.. with a first appearance blond alt head

    Dude, I'm chasing that same Secret Wars dream as you.  I'm with you on the outfits, too, and you know who I bet it all comes down to in the end?  Wasp.  Wasp in that green & purple getup.  Mark my words, when we get Volcana and Molecule Man and all the rest, she's going to be that one piece of unfinished business.

    The other complete set I've been dreaming of completing one day is the complete cast of the Captain America and the Avengers arcade game.  Just for the obvious reason: that it is the single greatest video game in history.  Giant Mechanical Taco is gonna be a #$##.

    Agree completely. That very specific wasp suit may have to be a custom job. Or random luck that Hasbro pulls that look out of a hat. 

    Also, the Captain America and the Avengers game is one of my display wishlist ideas too!! Obviously the main 4, playable characters are done  but that Iron Man needs a serious redo. I’m trying to recall all the NPCs that show up throughout.. Wonderman, Quicksilver (running impossibly slow haha) Wasp, Namor... does Scarlet Witch make a cameo?!? Dang it’s been so long..

    Ha that game is a real winner, not just Mech Taco the giant Octopus, how about "Giant Robot" who is clearly a Sentinel, Control (x2) who is 2 Controllers, The most tiny puny Juggernaut ever (Juggernaut the same size as Cap), yeah what a Game.

    Haha forgot about the “not a Sentinel”.. 

    those “Controller” brothers frustrated me badly..

    many of those character designs were clearly inspired by real Marvel characters.

    but this game, to this day, is one of my favorite gaming experiences

    for specific storylines would like to get

    • most of the villain squad from the Avengers Under Siege storyline
    •  Secret Wars villain roster (need Molecule Man, Titania & Volcana, and a new wrecking crew)
    •  4 serpent society members from the old Marvel Two -in - One Serpent Crown affair (I don't really care about the rest of the serpent squad)... note we also need Triton and Stingray from this story
    • GotG from the DnA run on the title, which mostly felt like one long storyline to me anyhow

    That's off the top of my head, I'm sure I can think of more.

    I don't really create permanent displays based around storylines but would certainly assemble some temporary ones to enjoy and take pics of.

    I hear you. There are no permanent displays in my collection.. I’ll change it all up on a whim but every now and then a specific storyline will inspire me and I’ll see how close I can get. 

    UNDER SIEGE is my #2 dream storyline display. Again, the Wasps specific costume ( Yellow and black in this case) may end up being the one that keeps this from completion

  6. I’ll say again, this is a great wave for us MCU collectors. Every figure looks pretty great despite what I’ve thought of the shows. ( too soon for a Moon Knight remake?!?)

    I really love that the MCU has gotten the Star Wars philosophy that EVERY character will eventually get a Legend ( or so it seems).. I truly believe this property has the legs to keep churning out the A listers  as well as the bit players. Aside from the price, I’m loving this era we Legends collectors  ( MCU & Comic) are in now..

  7. With the Haslab Galactus ready to drop I’m 1 massive character closer to completing a display for one of the greatest storylines ever: Marvel Comics Secret Wars

    this got me thinking..since the early ToyBiz days and into the 3.75” Marvel Universe line, I’ve always dreamed of getting the Ultimate Secret Wars display.  My attempts failed poorly with the ToyBiz offerings either due to scale or story accurate costumes but I got pretty dang close with the MU line..though ultimately falling short.

    Without even realizing it, I’m pretty close now to getting every character from that series into plastic form. For Heroes I’m only missing Classic Cyclops, Mohawk Storm and Monica Rambeau Captain Marvel. My villains are a bit more sparse missing Enchantress, The Wrecking Crew, the Absorbing Man, the Molecule Man, Dr Octopus, Titania and Volcana. I’ve got Lizard and Galactus on the way. 

    Im a bit OCD so I’m trying my best to get all characters in the suits they wore in the storyline.

    i was a huge MU 3.75 fan and through that line I was able to get close to doing the same with many other storylines that were near and dear to my heart. For example, I was close to getting the lineups for the classic XMen v Avengers mini series lineups ( that almost included completed the Russian Super Soldiers line up as well). 

    Other dream storyline lines that involve both good and evil teams include UNDER SIEGE, OPERATION GALACTIC STORM, ACTS OF VENGEANCE from my beloved Avengers comics as well as Universe spanning stories like Infinity Gauntlet, Evolutionary War and Atlantis Attacks storylines.

    is anyone else out there a fan of eras of classic Marvel and trying to recreate lineups or teams that you fondly recall from your youth or specific shows,games, storylines? Nothing is off limits, whether it be the old Avengers Arcade game with the Neo Classic Iron Man,White Vision etc,  the XMen arcade lineup, Secret Wars, XMen animated, Avengers: Earths Mightiest Heroes cartoon, Jim Lee era XMen,  Byrne era West Coast Avengers, Contest of Champions ( though good luck getting plastic representations of some of those racial stereotypes haha) the Kree/ Skrull era Avengers.. obviously so many possibilities,.. what is your dream display ???

     

  8. I can see both getting at least one retro wave...

    for Surfer wave the only figure I’d want is Cap’n Reptyle.. outside of Ron Lim’s Incredible art, this character really stood out for me. The old Lizard BAF is a great place to start...

    my only other Surfer wants, FireLord and Nova are on the way.

    for Hulk my only must get characters are Major Talbot or General Ross ( how has neither been made when we’ve gotten a J Jonah Jameson, ) I’d take a Zzazzx , Tyrannus, or a please for the love of Harpy give us a Hulk in Tighty Purple speedos., this will literally be the last Hulk I ever have to buy

    For sure. I went ahead and put an order in for one, with the patience of finding a low priced Speedball later in time… hopefully.

    Happy belated, man. Awesome that you got your dream team!

    I’ve got a feeling finding a discounted Speedball will be easier than you’d think. 

    Ive just made a deal with myself. If I can get Speedball for $10-$15 I’ll grab that bubble effect. With deals, clearance, coupons, a Amazon Prime day, I imagine Speedball will be steeply discounted at some point

  10. News of this sort is always good news/bad news. The hunt for these has been stupid. Even online is a struggle as the window for availability are so narrow, I’ve missed a few because I wasn’t on this site at the right time to hear that they are available. 

    However, in recent weeks, I’ve spotted Quasar and Binary in store. Of course long after I’ve given up and paid a markup. 

    Im always torn about Walgreens. I’ll say they have some of the best exclusives as I’ve gotten more than not. Just not a fan of the hunt

  11. Here’s a thought..when Hasbro celebrates an anniversary the subject usually gets a wave of figures, or a box set or something of the sort.. Let’s say the Haslab project IS just the HellCharger w/ Reyes..who’s to say the celebration won’t continue throughout the year with deluxe releases of Blaze and Ketch? 

    Seems odd that an Anniversary, especially one as big as a 50th, would begin and end with arguably the 3rd most famous Ghost Rider.

    be interesting to see how a Hasbro proceeds. GR has mostly been a fringe character for me but I’ve always loved the design and concept. While I’m a “Blaze” guy, I appreciated Ketch and Reyes ( plus as many long time posters know, if you’ve been an Avenger, I’ll collect you. So Reyes is a must have).

    at the end of the day, I’ve already got 2 Blaze GRs and 1 sweet bike. I’ve no interest beyond the GRs mentioned above so this Anniversary can come and go with only hitting the big versions and I’d be fine.

  12. So the current MCU era is the “Multiverse Saga”? Makes sense given what we’ve seen so far. 

    Used to be EVERY MCU offering was must see for me but that all ended with Shang Chi ( did see in theaters but had to be near the end of the run.) and the Eternals. This one could not convince myself or the family to give a $#!¥ so unceremoniously watched over the course of 3 days on D+.. and still felt my time was wasted

    only a few movies coming up have peaked my interest and only Secret Wars and DD for D+.. ah well ... all good things come to an end. At least I got 4 just awesome (IMO) Avengers films and hopefully a few more before the MCU starts relying on the X Franchise..

  13. As tiers I’d love to see:

    Blaze GR with bike and non flamed alternate head

    Ketch GR with bike and non flamed alternate head

    various snap on flames 

    my enthusiasm is ebbed slightly after it was pointed out that the HISS tank was only vehicle and 1 figure but so far we don’t know that this project will be the $300 the GI Joe one went for.. so there is the possibility 

  14. I swore off Haslab after Galactus but this Ghost Rider project has me intrigued. I need a Robbie Reyes for my Avengers collection though to be fair I haven’t read any issues he is in as an Avenger. Not sure how his car plays into the team dynamic...

    I can see this being a success. My initial thought was that both Johnny and Danny with their bikes as tiers but then it was pointed out that the HISS tank was just the vehicle and 1 figure so the car and Robbie could be all. It’s a cool idea, just as with all of the Haslab projects I question the value for the cost. Would have been nice NOT to want another pricey Haslab..

    ill be waiting to hear what this involves.

    I think Namorita is one of characters I could see on the Shriek buck. If they do the irridescent green scale (like Ulik's armor)  one-piece or even bikini, it'll really pop and come out well. Namora, on the other hand, I feel needs a larger buck.

    Stingray's another matter altogether. I'd like to see how they could pull that off. A plastic piece for the fins/wings wouldn't do, and I guess their next best bet would be something like the nylon "fabric" membrane they used on Siryn? 

    Anyway I hear you. Its baffling  (that word again) that they make the choices they do, but if the Human Fly and Razorback (??) are coming, I imagine Tarantula and Man-Wolf aren't far behind?

    For Stingray, I wonder if they wouldn’t go the route on how they did SongBird., just on big piece that fits on his back. Maybe add smaller pieces for when he isn’t at “full mast”.. 

  16. Ok so I’m in the (very) minority here and liked the Loki in business casual from the  D+ wave.. that being said, whenever Loki was in possession of or in the vicinity of the tesseract he was in his Avengers 1 suit. ( ok,  except for a very brief scene in his series).. wouldn’t it have made sense to rerelease the tesseract with that suit?!?

    Human Fly, that's a surprise. Too bad we don't have classic Yellowjacket yet. They blew it with the Beast. Perfect opportunity to do the Perez-Avengers era head. 

    100% agree and with George’s  Recent passing, it could have been a nice tribute. 

    Its not like that head doesn’t ALREADY EXSIST!! c’mon Hasbro, we know you have blue paint too...
