Thanks to JayC, Megalopolis, and BBTS for running another, awesome store credit drawing! And @JayC I have shared this on Facebook to the Marvel Legends Collectors and Marvel Legends Collecting group pages. Good luck to everyone!

Also, are the around-the-eyes blast effect on the vintage wave Cyclops figure non removable for both of his interchangeable heads? If so, I'm surprised there hasn't been any criticism from fans. Having at least one head completely neutral seems like the better choice.

It seems there is a general misconception regarding the upcoming 80th Anniversary Colossus. He's based on the Cockrum/Byrne look from the 70's/80's and not the Lee/Portacio design from the 90's. On the left is Dave Cockrum's design and the other two images are from Lee and Portacio, respectively. Note the difference in Cockrum's pointed shoulders vs. Lee's squared design, the tops of the boots are different, and the wrist gauntlets as well. I'm glad we're getting the classic Colossus costume but we still need an official Lee version too.

Great coverage as usual, @JayC! There are a few points I'd like to comment on: - I never considered Sinister or Hydro Man would be a BAF (actually Hydro Man could make sense what with interchangeable watery parts) - Do we know if that shirt is removable on the 80th Anniversary Hulk? - Colossus is listed as Jim Lee version, which is incorrect. He's in his Cockrum/Byrne costume. Did the Jim Lee categorization come from Hasbro or perhaps he was incorrectly named on social media sites? Regardless, this year is going to be a strong year for Legends and look forward to picking up about twenty of them.

Dude! I cannot express how much I want this figure! I'm extremely thankful we're getting a new classic version, however now that we have it out of the way we can finally get an Eric Masterson Thor.

Hasbro did a great job with Talos. The sculpt is tight and the paint is on point. So much detail!

Nice score! I can't wait for Night Thrasher personally.

Stopped by two Walmarts, Target, GameStop, and a Tuesday Morning store and found most of the Captain Marvel wave at one Walmart, nothing at the other Walmart or Target, the Dora Milaje at GameStop, and nothing at Tuesday Morning.

If anyone is searching in upstate NY area (Albany and north) there's not much to be had out there. I snagged an Infinity Gauntlet on sale for $65 at Wilton Walmart and the Wilton Walgreens had three Magiks. I've been hitting Targets and Walmarts on almost a daily basis hoping to score some Captain Marvel action or seeing some great clearance sales but nada. I even popped into K-Mart where they still have a full of Sasquatch BAF wave and Thanos BAF wave. Crazy.

Maybe a Star Wars vehicle missile?

Didn't Toy Biz show it off at Toy Fair or SDCC in like 2006 before the license went to Hasbro? I have a vague recollection of that happening but haven't been able to find a pic online...then I kinda forgot and stopped looking lol

I'm in desperate need of the 90's versions of GOTG. I know we got Vance Astro last year, but he felt like more of an inclusion due to his appearance in the 2008 comic series (which is fine). That being said, let see some more Jim Valentino inspired costumes!

I'm seeing a lot of great character choices on here, so here's my list. The first two I feel Hasbro really needs to get done (It was three but we're FINALLY getting Jubilee). Most everyone else will help us add to teams we're getting now. 1. Storm in her classic Giant Sized X-Men costume 2. Shadowcat in her classic blue costume 3. 90's Yondu 4. Classic Ultron 5. 90's Havok in his X-Factor costume 6. Crossfire (random villain, but a lot of fun and can be made with minimal effort. Just need a new head on either the Bucky Cap or Bullseye body) 7. Classic Firestar 8. 90's Thanos (Hasbro makes this happen. I appreciate the repaint Walmart exclusive this year but c'mon!) 9. Classic Monica Rambeau Captain Marvel 10. Classic Boomerang

The most fun I've had on Halloween as an adult was going as Space Ghost's evil twin brother, Chad Ghostal :)

I agree about the cross continent promotion. During the Canadian Con last month they reveal Guardian, leader of the Canadian super team Alpha Flight, this month they reveal the French villain, Grey Gargoyle, at the Paris Con, now we get Union Jack in London. Am I missing anything else? Oh, also right before they announced Nighthawk they put out a free downloadable issue on the Marvel Comics app. I love how Marvel and Hasbro is handling their roll outs. It's a lot of fun and clever. If they ever do a Israel Con I'll be expecting a Sabra figure!
