  1. My unpopular opinion is I wish Hasbro de-prioritized the X-Men in favor of other Marvel characters. There was a time when I loved the X-Men, when they were my favorite characters. But that was almost thirty years ago. I won't say I've grown out of the X-Men, but I have grown away from them; I just don't care about them as much. I've got a handful of X-Men Legends, mostly from the All-New, All-Different era. There are only a few more that I want.

    I would prefer Hasbro devote time and resources to more Avengers waves, more Cosmic waves, more Fantastic Four waves, a Thor wave, more supervillain waves, etc.

  2. Last year, when they talked about the HasLab Galactus, they said there would be at least one more figure this year to go along with Galactus. We all speculated that meant one or more heralds, with the consensus being Herald Thor and/or Firelord.

    Now that we've gotten confirmation on Thor: Herald of Galactus, do we still think there is a chance of Firelord coming this year, or is that a pipe dream?

    Can someone clear up something on the Retro Symbiote Spidey? His bio reads that he got his Symbiote suit from a crashed space ship. Is this a retcon from the cartoon? One of my favorite comics as a kid was Secret Wars #8 so that isn’t how Peter got the Symbiote.  

     

    Yes, in the animated series the black symbiote came to Earth when it attached to a space shuttle piloted by John Jamison. The shuttle crashed on... one of the many New York bridges, I can't remember which one. Spidey rescued the flight crew and that's where the symbiote attached to him. (I'm pretty sure a similar origin was contrived for Spider-Man 3, although it's been so long since I watched it I honestly don't remember).

    on the fence is the 2 packs are better or if single figs are the way to go. Win/ win really, the SHIELD team was best in a two pack but Skrulls/ Ninjas/ Hellfire Club goons/Hydra troopers work as singles.. either way great idea Hasbro, keep these coming

    Yeah, the singles are fine as long as the figure doesn't need any individual personalization, like the A.I.M. trooper. But the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents have five different head options, and if those are sold individually, well, if you want to buy four or six troops, that's.... that's a lot of extra heads going to waste.

    I'll be curious to see how they approach the Kree trooper because they have multiple skin tones. They could also have an unmasked head for classic Mar-Vell. Would that troop builder be better as a two-pack? What about a Nova Corps troop builder multipack with the same generic body but three or four different alien heads wearing the helmet? But a Brood alien or Ultron drone are identical so they still work as singles.

  5. I canceled five pre-orders from Hasbro Pulse yesterday in anticipation of the new price hike. Even though the figures I had pre-ordered weren't at the $24.99 point, that's a threshold for me where I'm going to be way more selective about getting the figures I really want vs. the ones that look cool. Translation: adios, Sleepwalker! And I very much doubt I'll get Havoc and Sabretooth from the upcoming X-Men wave like I had planned.
