I put her in there because she is in the Special and people may not have her yet. That plus her old figure was a TRU exclusive near the end of their run so she was extreme hard to get. Plus, I made this set in the vein of Amazon box sets, like the recent Spider-man (with Razorback), Venom set and Wolverine set, all just old figure with new heads.
But you're right. I wanted to put Manphibian or Living Mummy in there, but they would require whole new sculpts. I let Dracula out because he will be getting a new figure next year for the Blade/Marvel Knights wave.
I totally understand, though as I said given she was already in a boxset, it might be better for her to be separate or it will be another Corvus Glaive where a character is only available in a multipack. Yeah Blade will be in the Blade wave, though the one in the set could be Gene Colan version and the one in the wave could be his red armour look.

I thought with the Werewolf by Night special coming out this week (Friday, 7th Oct), I thought I would do an Ideal Box set. I decided to do a box set for this instead of a wave, as there is little chance, we will get a wave for this special. I also thought to make this set mostly just repaints. Think of it like how Amazon have been doing the box set for the past couple of years, like the Spider-man set and the Wolverine sets.
The Theme for this box set: Monsters
And that’s the box set. As for why I picked each of them:
- Werewolf By Night – This is a WBN box set so he must be in it. This is one I’m surprised Hasbro hasn’t made as it’s the easiest to make with either the Jackal or Puma build.
- Man-Thing – I think the most surprising thing about the trailer is that we saw that Man-Thing is making his MCU debut. This will be a straight repaint of the BAF that was released a few years back. Maybe fill that hole in his back with a branch.
- Vampire By Night – I wanted to include a Vampire in this set but I also wanted to leave the Count to the eventual Blade wave next year. Then I remembered that there was a hero who not only is part werewolf but is also related to Jack Russel, being his niece. She was subject to the same curse as her uncle, but a vampire bite causes her to become a Vampire with the strength of a Werewolf. This will use Shriek body with a new double-jointed jacket.
- Frankenstein’s Monster – Next we have another figure that was in the old TB box set, Frankenstein’s Monster. I think we saw him in the trailer, so he is included here. This will use the Hercules mold with a new jacket.
- Elsa Bloodstone – Lastly, we have another figure that will be a straight repaint. She is in the special as well, but her original figure was part of a Toys-R-Us close to when the retail chain closed down. Since David Nakayama is currently working with Hasbro on the packaging, then Hasbro should repaint it and give it a new head similar to the image he did for Dr. Strange.
I would replace Elsa in the set, since she was already available in one multipack it wouldn't be fair to ask people who way want her to have to try and get another exclusive just to get her. I would either leave it with the 4 monsters since Man-Thing is a BAF or replace Elsa with her dad.

Don't think vehicles are the issue, as the hasbro HISS tank demonstrated. Its the cost and the appeal of this particular vehicle. This thing simply does not warrant that price tag, and these figures they're proposing, aren't all that spectacular either. The charger is nice, yes. But it ain't nicer than the HISS tank, and even that was overpriced. At least on that, you get quite a big bang for your buck.
Hasblo wants to make money. Nothing wrong with that. Greedy? Yeah. But that's what companies do. What consumers/collectors have to do, is get smarter about where to spend their dollar. Yes, the collecting community does influence (if not "make") hasbro what does. If they see that collectors are willing to overpay for this, then best believe all the figures are going up.
Yeah, Hasbro have over-estimated the HellCharger's appeal. It's nowhere near the Hiss Tank's iconic recognition. As pretty much everyone else has stated it is overpriced. This might still get backed but I would see it just getting it. Of course, that would still give Hasbro carte blanche to charge more for their figures even if the world stabilises and production cost go down.

The villian art looks great, though Dark Phoenic should be soaring above the others, not just levitating a little off the ground

It looks good. I agree the legs could have done with some muscles. Still not sure f this is really a must get.

Looks like there will be a non-Legends 6" with 5 points of articulation Shuri in an aircraft / ship.. just saw this listed in Amazon Brazil today
Looks more like a Landspeeder than anything else, especially as she doesn't even fit in the cockpit

No thanks. I don't want to see more of my favourites ruined.

Got the D+ Moon Knight, love the figure though I don't see the point of the Moonarangs combining

I wonder if a standard retro card release will happen without the cannon.
Probably when they do a full Retro wave

The Training Suit Logan really brings me back to my childhood when that was the only Wolverine most shops had in Ireland. My brother got really lucky to find the horned mask version

I love the Legends team, but you always have to take what they say with a grain of salt. Like when they said we’d not get Robbie except as an early bird but we got the alternate head. Or when they said we’d not get any more hints but we get an obvious Madeleine Pryor nod. So when they tell us we’ll never get the stretch figures if we don’t buy the Hellcharger, I have to conclude that we’ll get this essential X-villain at some point even if the community continues to conclude that this was a badly handled Haslab
It doesn't help that when Nova was revealed and Galactus was struggling, they said that if The Big G wasn't back it would be a few years before Nova would be released. The think here is instead of giving figures related to Robbie (which to be honest there aren't that many) like the other two HasLabs, they are going for the figures we can never release at retail strategy

Here's my breakdown
- Retro Iron Man - I have the original Modular, but this does also play off my nostalgia - Easy Pass unless I can get it cheap
- Orb - Looks good, but don't care about the character - Maybe educed
- Molecule Man - Fireballs again? Do Hasbro do the research on these characters (No.) If they were to give him an accessory it should have been his wand. Still, Maybe reduced
- Moonstone - Looks great, some blast effects would have been nice, still will go nicely with my Zemo. Must Get.
- What If...? Gamora - Don't care.
- Wolverine - Looks good, not essential but still tempted
- Longshot - Never liked him, so pass
- Multiple Man - Was never a fan of his costume look, but you can't have enough Multiple Men
- Avalanche - Finally, no effect pieces though. Still another one for the brotherhood.
- Spiral - Don't care about the character, so pass
- Dark Phoenix - Looks good, but I would have preferred regular Phoenix
- Banshee - Hopefully comes with a standard head, but not really keen on getting a Three pack or him, might wait for the GSXM version
- Storm - Looks nice, but not interest in that three pack at all
- Stryfe - Looks really good, but it will depend on the rest of the Random Villains set
- Animated Cyclops - Pass
- Animated Spider-Man & Carnage - Don't care about animated figures
- Daredevil 3 pack - I have versions of most of these so pass
- Star-Lord - It's different, so I might get it

There all part of the same wave mate. Wolverine,multiple man, longshot, spiral, dark phoenix and havok. 6 figures for the retro wave as per usual.
Havok? I think you mean Avalanche

Looks like it just a sleeve. They set will have iron man on the retro card with the gun in a separate box.
I don't know the packaging is done like the old Toy Biz boxes and if it was a Retro Card included Tony would be in the centre like War Machine and you would see some of the artwork

Very retro and tempting

Looks like a deluxe given the Gun is about the size of the figure. Still a pass for me.

Interesting that it will now be a movie. Hopefully it will still have loads of Armoured haracters

My thoughts on possible BAFs-
Avengers Wave
- Ultimate Iron Man - We have Ultimate Cap and it would be a large Figure
- Ultimate Hulk - Again, they might be trying to do the Ultimates
Spider-man Wave
- Grizzly - They have the parts just need a new head
- Black Tarantula - Rival Crime Boss of the ROse from the 90's
- Digger - Gamma based enforcer - First appeared in JMS's run but has recently returned as an enforcer for the Rose
X-Men Wave
- Astonishing Beast - The first one was two small and seems like they want to do the Astonishing Team
- Glob Herman - They have KId Omega, so why not one of his few "friends"
- Chod - Another Starjammer - could lead to a new Abomination
- WarStar- Another Imperial Guard member.

Ha! Ha! Ha!
Hasbro backtrack by doing what they should have done in the first place. Looks like they wasted that Early bird figure slot.

While I love Hugh Jackman and I love his Wolverine, I really hope this is his last time for two reasons. First, though both these cats have aged well, Jackman is clearly aging out of the part. That's not a good look for an ageless person. Deadpool they can always cover up with prosthetics. Second, it's time to move on with the next guy, it's just the truth. The more they keep bringing him back it gets harder and harder for us to accept any other actor as Wolverine. He's iconic and we wish he could play Wolverine forever but the sad truth is he can't.
Sure he can with creepy CGI, deepfakes and AI voicing like in Star Wars.... oh wait

Hopefully Hugh will wear a Wolverine Costume

Probably it's a chance for hasbro to reuse the Puma body, see photo of my kit bash of Wolverine in Fang costume (puma body)
Fang was only an inch taller than Logan, so they could just use the Logan mold, which would make more sense if they are giving us the Logan parts

They will show another Stretch Goal at Pulsecon but probably the goal will be lower than originally intended. So instead of having it at say 15000 (If the plan was to go up every 3000), it will now be 13000

Fang is guaranteed to come with a Wolverine head and claws.
As for Ghost rider, it will all depends on whether or not the Haslab succeeds. No point in making a tie-wave when there is nothing to tie in is there.
Yeah I would be surprised if Fang didn't come with Logan parts.
I'm still thinking we will see a Ghost Rider wave regardless of the HasLab

Especially as it wouldn't be an anniversary piece if it gets released next year.
