2025-2026 Rumor/Leak List - UPDATED List 12-4-25 (after Brazil Panel)

Possibly unpopular opinion:
I couldn't stand the draft. They always dragged on and on.
Same as many of the special guests. Remember when Dan interviewed the writer of the new Werewolf By Night series many PulseCons ago? And we all thought that meant they were going to reveal a Werewolf By Night figure? And... nothing...
Fun banter is great. Insights from Dwight about character selection and design are very much welcomed.
Teases are usually fun if there is a payoff a month later. Not 4 months later.
 
Booo people with different opinions than me! I thought the draft was fun and gave us some insight into the team and the process, and I liked that they spent a few minutes reflecting on what they had put out that year. It's not like it took away anything either. The draft doesn't take the place of more reveals, it's just a little extra bit - and easily skipped.

The interviews though, yeah - I could do without those.
 
I wouldn't mind something similar to the draft- at least a quick little reflection on the year, maybe listing some favorites. I like getting to know the team a little more- I think that's part of why the Marvel team feels a bit more warm and welcoming than the Star Wars team, to be honest- those little moments that help them feel more like people rather than just corporate shills.

Ditto.
 
Yes, I would still like some reflection on the work they did. Everyone is always trying to get them to leak something but rarely gets insight on figures they can talk freely about.
 
I think the problem is putting it into one whole long segment. Break it up through the show, have your draft picks done ahead of time and just say what they are, why you chose them briefly and move on.

I like introspection, I like seeing behinds the scenes stuff, but it just pisses me off to sit through people talking endlessly when I just want to see what's new and upcoming. So long as it's broken up enough and doesn't cause crazy space between reveals, I don't mind. Most of these toy announcement streams could have been an email.
