It's actually a misdirect, the tease is for Nikki GOLD in a boxset of the seventies Guardians of the Galaxy. Because they're raising the BAR for cosmic Marvel releases.

YES! I love this character/ look, and I love this era of Defenders: give me the bronze-age version all day. I'll never really consider my Defenders shelf complete without her. I also totally thought I was the only one who wanted this character, glad other people are on-board.

Just wanted to jump on the Walmart Lizard love train. He's been my favorite Spidey villain since I was a little kid, the Walmart figure is PERFECT. So seldom does ML go all-in with a silver age portrait, and it made me so happy that this was the character they did it with. For my money, the...

It makes me positively gleeful that Alicia Masters is in the top spot as of now.

Air-Walker, Annihilus, Red Ghost and his Super-Apes. But really, everyone from that classic John Byrne poster I can't find a link-able scan of to attach.

Pass. I've never found the team especially visually interesting or fun. Lot of other ensemble groups of X-Men foes I'd prefer to have more of (Savage Land Mutates, Marauders, Imperial Guard). Only ever picked up Skullbuster of the Reavers they made, and that was just because I wanted Caliban.

See, this forum has diseased me. I was always mostly a street level/ mutant characters reader ... and then you @#$%*&^s made me dig in with the Avengers family titles. Over the past year, my collection has gone from "I'm almost done with Spidey and the X-Men! Nice!" to "shit, I'd shell out three...

I cut my villain shelves, allowed myself to be totally arbitrary with who stuck around, and am still intermittently surprised by the results when I glance at the current shelves. Kang? In the bin. The Orb? Front and center.

Dwight poo-poo'd Stingray, too?! I don't know how I missed that. He's a huge nostalgic fave of mine (thanks "Marvel Two-in-One"), I'd be so disappointed if we never got him. I get that his costume sort of an engineering challenge, but c'mon! He'd look so cool!

I was just thinking about themed storyline waves this week while I was stuck in traffic, inspired by re-reading "Galactic Storm." A wave off of that would be a cool way to get us team-builders for the Avengers, WCA, Starjammers, and Imperial Guard. Maybe some Starforce, too, but I'm at a stage...

Yeah, Pixie would be great. Fun character, cool look. I loved the Academy X stuff from this era, more of those characters would be awesome.

This wave feels too weird not to be real, so I'm inclined to believe it.

Hope Hasbro takes the right lesson from this: classic / iconic versions of major heroes and villains (especially Webhead's rogue's gallery) sell like hotcakes consistently. Keeping a version of them in circulation wouldn't be the worst thing for the health of the line, it ensures new collectors...

It's funny/ cool that Lizard has gotten multiple releases with very artist-specific head sculpts when so few characters do. Makes me wish they did it more often. The TRU Cyclops is still one of my favorite ML figures, despite the outdated articulation.

What size bag and board for those?

I don't know if there's any with just one member missing, besides maybe Outback Colossus (assuming this wave's potential Psylocke is Outback, which feels like a good educated guess). I can think of a bunch of teams with a few holes that would fit the bill. I'm also just ignoring the name...

But how else would she hold her comic accessory? Who on Earth would prefer functionality over servicing that gimmick? Note: I've bought three comic wave figures to date and have lost 2/3 mini-comics. They're with the lost socks and Christmas presents I bought too early, stowed, and said "I'll...

He'd be hard to say no to ... a reprint of "Avengers" #2 was one of the first comics I ever remember reading/ owning, so I think having him in-hand/ on a shelf, he'd probably put a big, doofy smile on my face.

Thena would have been a maybe even at the old prices, probably a pass today. I could be swayed by a boxset of Eternals with her, green costume Sersi, Gilgamesh, and Ajak. I bought Ikaris for the BAF and he looks weird by himself, so I could justify a couple more Eternals for a display.

I'd love a seventies-eighties Living Laser. Ideally I'd like to have all of these guys to go with him/ serve as a punching bag for Shellhead:

Same story here. I'd love to get the Inhumans and the Deathbird set, but sixty+ each just doesn't sit right. Here's my year's purchases: - Dragon Man - Miss Marvel (Sofen) - Rom - Banshee - Black Cat (PS5) - Sunspot - Cyclops/ Marvel Girl - Phoenix ... keeping in mind, there are years...

Hell yes to Aleta. Weirdly I'd prefer the Valentino look for just Aleta; bronze age all the way for the rest of the team, but her bronze-age look is just not super interesting looking to me.

We're incredibly lucky Alpha Flight didn't feature a moose, a syrup-based character, or a Tim Horton's-centric origin story.

They're in good company: Arabian Knight, Sabra, Hate-Monger, Yellow Claw. I'd be really happy with an online exclusive wave/ boxset of those, but that seems less likely than an Ultimate Obnoxio the Clown.

I thought I was the only one!! His first appearance was such a cool issue.
