I could be talked into a Maximum Series Green Goblin, if he came with a flight stand, multiple gliders (FA broomstick), tons of bombs, bats, and effects, and alternate unmasked heads depicting each of his secret identities. Bonus points if they remember Bart Hamilton exists. Edit: Man would I...

Why make new characters when you can just reuse Hulk tooling from seven years ago? My money's on Cosmic/ Mecha Hulk like the Select figure. Easy reuse, with cool options for mechanized alt parts to jazz it up. High "cool factor" for casual collectors/ fans as "Terminator Hulk."

It feels like the sluggish economy and ongoing tariff concerns have made a lot of companies decide to reel back their offerings for the year. Fewer releases, safer character selection, reduced tooling investment ...

Not a character I'm familiar with. Neat look, she'd make a cool figure ... but not someone who would fit with my collection/ displays, so, she'd be a pass from me.

It's legitimately fucking insane to me that we have Animal Man and Deadman but not Batgirl, Catwoman, or Super Girl.

Yeah, I like Hulk, but I like silver/ bronze age Hulk, so I've been set with the character since the two-pack hit. Now bring on the bad guys!!

Well, it saves me money. Which is a pyrrhic victory. I was hoping to see some cool new toys to look forward to. Instead I bought some complete Kenner Star Wars figures I was missing.

Mine does. I'd actually like another shot at her for that reason ... although given how poorly I remember her selling, I do not see that happening.

I mean ... I got a Lee Dracula and a Cushing Van Helsing. I've wanted those since I was ten. So, at least those made it out. I guess hoping for Captain Kronos and the Reptile was setting myself up for disappointment. Universal, I just felt like there was so much more ground to cover. But again...

Absolutely, starting with Human Torch, Whizzer, and Miss America. Those I can kind of squeeze into my Avengers display, past that, I'd need them to commit to making enough to justify a dedicated golden age shelf. I've gotten really sick of orphan figures/ characters like Ikaris that I have no...

Doesn't look like any new Universal Monsters/ Hammer Horror stuff besides the B&W Red Death -- which, if I may be super pedantic for a second, makes no sense: that scene was in color: Hoping this isn't indicative that those licenses are running out of steam ... they're some of my favorite...

I also wouldn't say no to an update of FA She-Hulk, like they did back in the Fin Fang Foom wave. Short-lived look, I know, but I remember it really strongly from some of her early crossover appearances in "Marvel Team-Up," "Marvel Two-in-One," and "Avengers:" P.S. we are one Moonstone away...

Man, I could REALLY go for another stab at Mister Hyde. And I had the same idea about a wave of regular-sized Hulk characters! Could also be a good way to squeeze in Stingray: As well as Red Guardian II, though I dunno who else cares about getting her as much as I do:

This is exactly how I've envisioned wolf Rahne, since it's how Bob McLeod tended to draw her: ... also agreed, the pictured version of 'Berto using his powers might make for a bland-looking figure, unless they figured out a really cool way to represent the energy field around him.

There's also just something vaguely depressing about a lawn full of deflated inflatables during the day. They look like when the police have to shoot a runaway Macy's balloon. Or a beached whale.

Or Psycho-Man, for some inexplicable reason. Not that he wasn't appreciated, and not the figure isn't gorgeous, but what an odd choice to dedicate an all-new body with absolutely no reuse potential to.

I almost feel like that would be *too* tall.

So, for years the execution on characters like Vulture had me nervous that, should we ever get Stingray, he'd turn out like absolute crap ... but the new Falcon and Black Bolt have me hopefully they've mastered functional wings in ML.

I'm hoping the way they handle Magma is an individual release of her powered-up Magma form with a depowered Amara Aquila head as a pack-in. Could work for Sunspot as well.

As annoyed as I am, I'm so excited to finally be getting this team that I can't be too upset. I had psyched myself out that Hasbro would just never get around to them.

Glass half empty: @#$%! I missed out on pre-ordering Magik from Pulse and Amazon. Glass half full: holy @#$%, Magik sold out on Pulse and Amazon! Hasbro has been given a mandate that Magik and the eighties X-Men (and the New Mutants in specificity!) sell! Somehow I feel like they'll get this...

Within those criteria, Jim Shooter has something that I do believe earns that honor:

I really like the character selection on the "Secret Wars" wave, but I was also struck by how incredibly reuse heavy it is. I'm a bit nervous the tooling allocation for the line is going to be diminished going forward, but I'll wait to judge until we see more of the year's offerings.

Interesting observation I saw on another site: if we're getting another "The Crossing" two-pack with Scarlet Witch and Vision, the tooling for Scarlet Witch's upper arms/ sleeves could yield us a "Mutant Massacre"-era Psylocke: ... fingers crossed, as the stupid puffy-sleeves pink costume is...

It's a film canister! Of course! We're getting our first Marvel Legends playset ... the Gem Theater, with the Heroes for Hire office upstairs.
