While I like the prospect of FINALLY getting a Mystique without spaghetti legs and FINALLY getting any Destiny figure at all I do think it's a mistake packing them together. As prominent a couple they've become in the comics female figures are traditionally not strong sellers. No matter who they are. And all female multi-packs are notorious clearance shelf fuel. I bought multiples of both the A-Force and Rescue/Cap Marvel packs at massive discount. And there was a reason the Hydra & SHIELD female agent pack was Pulse only. I think a better strategy would have been a couple of 2 packs with some later Freedom Force members like Stonewall or Super Sabre or Crimson Commando. All of them are easy designs that would be simple to make with existing molds. I mean they know we're going to want them eventually anyway. And I'm not sure how well they'd sell as a set either. If they snuck Val Cooper in the line up they could have got three sets out of it. Then again I'm just a customer.
I think set will sell well enough just for the sake of it being classic Mystique, especially if they give her extra articulation like Black Widow. Even emaciated Walgreens Mystique sold like crazy, and if anything slightly lower sales might be good because collectors will be able to get this set for retail price until it eventually twice as much on after market.
On another note I’m excited to see Warbird/Ms. Marvel get another try. I wonder if they will reuse Power princess base that actually not as tall if you have her on flat feet or they will rework moonstone or even use Shriek body, which would be more lazy.

Herald Thor repaint/reissue is indeed weird choice from Hasbro, if they are going for simplistic and needed repaints they can do retro Apocalypse in blue and black, which would be a guaranteed great seller.

Actually if you give this amazing new mold flat feet she won't be as super tall as she seems, without her platforms she probably is the same height as Vulcan body.
As mentioned above Classic Valkyrie and Sif for sure would work and look great on this body, hopefully they are coming soon, they are easily in my top for Hasbro remakes.
I don't know about Titania though, she is better off on potential upcoming new She-Hulk body mold but tbh I definitely can see Hasbro going easy way and reusing Power Princess for new classic She-Hulk.

This Doc Ock looks good enough but when you compare him to Spider-Man 2 Doc from 20 years ago it feels like a less detailed figure, especially when you look at tentacles of SM2 version which is full of all kinds of details despite overall wonkiness of all toy biz figs, yet I'm just happy we got bendable tentacles on Doc Ock again and I guess progress isn't as fast we think it is.

I'm just glad to hear Peter David is back working after health complications. His previous Symbiote Spider-Man run was actually surprisingly fun to read.

This figure has just one issue, which is shoulders not being wide and big enough especially in comparison with previous releases, in case of RYV it was fine but now due to hoodie overlay it looks worse but still when you start posing figure it looks spectacular and makes you wanna buy it.

If it's Wolverine and Phoenix pack I can see few options, there's of course chance of more classic looks but since they are going for iconic covers/stories I can see them do New X-Men based set, it could be either from the possible future timeline (which btw already has Phoenix figure by Marvel select) or just Grant Morrison's New X-men costumes for Jean and Wolverine, which will start new X-Men costume line we would need to complete.

Would be really cool if we get Mystique with all the new articulation in the third wave of '97. It would be even more awesome if she gets that lower inverted crunch as well, and yes maybe she doesn't "really need" it since in comics and cartoons she's not as agile as she is in og fox movies but still would be great addition.

It's interesting how they will go, there's binary of either recast Kang or go with someone new like Doom or Beyonder, but there's also middle ground solution where they can still use (recast) Kang for the 5th Avengers movie and do a not so shocking twist with Doom (or whoever they pick) taking over in the middle of the movie.

If I’m not mistaken one of the first Spider-Man hot toys was based on Spider-Man 3, I wonder if they do it now cause they still somehow have access to that contract or it easier to renew existing contract, it also could be just Venom theme being in demand but I would love to hot toys try other movies too, And yes Tobey’s Spider-Man had basically the same suit for all the movies but there were noticeable minor changes between the movies, like lenses shape and size as well as fabric, so I would love Hot Toys to try making super accurate 2002 and 2004 suit.

Rogue is looking great! It’s out of my price range but if it’s this good looking I might risk it for her.

I would love to see Hasbro try making Spider-Man that has all the articulation of RYV but with sculpted in web lines like toybiz days and mafex but I guess these couple of years were too Spider-Man heavy so could be a really long time until we see it.
Animated series Chameleon is also must and it’s about time for Lockjaw and other inhumans to get some love.
For easy repaints I would love to see their retro Apocalypse done in blue and black and Dark Phoenix in more metallic colors as well as in regular green.
Extremis also can be redone in more metallic red and of course blue stealth version which is highly likely.

I love that Goblin Queen design for the series and yeah this isn't the comic book style everyone wants but it's a pretty decent design and figure is done well, at least judging from promo pics, a must buy for me, she will definitely do until we get the real deal. Cyclops and Nightcrawler are a OK, but Jean could have been better, it's obvious they did put effort with all new sculpt and all but something makes her look way too plain.

They will bring him back but not sooner than 2028-2030 closer to 30th anniversary of Iron Man movie.

How did this get approved? But from what I keep hearing about SHF, especially their latests anime figures, it's not as surprising, seems like company is on autopilot going with the flow.

Thank you I appreciate that, that Psylocke was my first try at modding, although I wish I did it right now with more experience and tools.

Not exactly a Haul but rather a kitbash/almost custom of Emma Frost using astonishing legs and diaper and combining it with torso from 2013 Wolverine series Emma and Black costume Emma head. Trickiest part was cutting 2013 figure and then attaching it to 2023 ball joint leg system. But overall I'm really happy with the results, I guess it's due to so called Ikea (you made it yourself) factor.

I think he signaling he wants a really good script not a "anything will sell after NWH" type attitude, especially in context of MCU quality issues.

Great looking Lizard sculpt, I really wish Marvel Legends BAF Lizard head looked like this, because what we got wasn't really comic book accurate, at least in my view. But hopefully Hasbro will reuse that great BAF body with better head that looks like this statue and preferably give it bendy tail.

Both Loki seasons had a lot of care, soul and creativity that worked, sadly this cant be said about other mcu projects, so this is definitely great news.

It looks superb! But it would be even better if it had another hooded head that would look more organic as one thing. Goblin helmet is great addition as well although I do wish it was just bit smaller because the way it is it looks almost comically oversized.

IMO this can work amazingly as so called drone Sandman army builder.

This figure needed some brightening of colors, he was never this muted and they went other way around in case of Tobey, by making him too bright and now it's the same for the second time without any change. If only you could adjust coloring brightness between Tobey and Andrew and get it in the middle for both, then we would get the perfect color tones, or at least better than they are now.

What makes me concerned is supposed possibility of Adam Driver, Matt Smith, Jake Gyllenhaal and others before not liking the script, what is so terrible in it that they find it unacceptable? Of course it could be other reasons such as pay being small for that caliber of the movie. So far it seems like they should have just stuck with John Krasinski, he was never my first choice candidate but he suits Reed well and people more or less accepted him thanks to DS: MOM.

I don't want to anger anyone but I really hope we don't get Secret Wars Wasp costume, it's imo literally one of the worst costumes she ever had, there's so many Wasp looks I would like to be done first + Hasbro already making first appearance costume which might oversaturate market.
