First and foremost I love this wave (mostly) and will be happily pre-ordering the entire thing.

Obviously any version of Black Panther is a huge hell yes and a multi-figure purchase.   It is interesting they went with yellow for the costume embellishments because even the comics they were colored gold not yellow

Happy to be getting Justice.   I'm a big New Warriors guy.

Power Princess is great -  she finishes this modern version of the Squadron Supreme.   Won't lie though -  really like the lavender costumed, silver helmeted classic version a little better.   But this one completes the team they've been building so Yay!

Very excited about Crystar.   I remember buying an issue of the comic because Nightcrawler was in it -  issue 6 I think -  and being intrigued enough that I tracked down the entire series.    I'm really happy Hasbro chose to go there with this figure.    Maybe they'll throw us a bone and release a recolored version to give us Warbow as well?

Namor -   So I was actually a big fan of the Jae Lee redesign for Namor when John Byrne gave up drawing the title.     It's interesting to see it rendered in figure form rather than in Lee's scratchy neo-Sienkiewicz style - but I'm not mad at it.   Plus  we've got figures of Namor in his more traditional costumes so this is a fun wrinkle

Namorita -  sigh.   I'm not against releasing modern looks for characters -  but I am against releasing ridiculously short lived versions of characters before releasing the iconic long standing look for the character.   As I've said in the past it seems to me like classic New Warriors era Namorita would lend itself well to reuse for Marrina from Alpha Flight so would make sense to get out there.

And I'll agree with those that have said it would have been better to make the BaF be classic Attuma to go with the Namor and Namorita release.     I don't mind the Void figure, it's certainly interesting,  but Attuma is far more needed on my shelf and makes so much sense to be release along side his cousins.   Oh well.

Very surprised by Hasbro with this wave. Really no anchor figure, imagine this will be a wave that will be deeply discounted.  

Is it just me, or does the Savage Namor head look like a comicized version of MCU Namor, goatee and everything?

I actually like that Namor design. Probably my second favorite look for him after the costume we saw on the Walgreens exclusive.

They did me a favor by making the BAF something I don't need, so I can pass on that pointless Namorita even though I NEED her for the New Warriors, they know what did here. However I am happy for that guy that's somewhere in a far corner of the country, or possibly a far off corner of my very city that has prayed to the action figure gods for that version of her and has had his prayers answered. The gods have smiled on me and given me Crystar for which I will pay cash tribute at the inflated price instead of waiting for clearance. I like that Justice is coming but I really would have preferred his Marvel Boy look. I have enough Black Panthers but this version reminds me of the Toybiz version, so I may bite on this one. Power Princess is looking amazing. I really got sucked in to building that team but I have no regerts. I really hate Hyperion for killing Nemesis though. I have resisted buying the lemon-lime Vision since I always considered the white Vision as the default version, thanks to the Captain America and the Avengers video game, but this one I might get. Hey, maybe the REAL Namorita along with Marvel Boy will be included in a wave with Moltar.

I just don't like the black legs with the scaled trunks on that Namor. If it went with black pants, fine. If it went with just scaled trunks, fine. But it looks like he's wearing trunks over spandex pants, and that's silly. I'm fine with gaudy designs, but not awkward designs.

Same, Norm. If it weren't for the black legs/green trunks combo, I probably would have picked this up. 

@normdapito It is 100% this look that they are trying to go for...

where the "trunks" are really more of a codpiece.   But they probably couldn't figure out quite how to do that so they just shrugged and went with trunks.

woof, that's not cute

That's so 90s it should be called Dethblud Namor.

I don't like when they try to shoehorn these extreme 90's looks into the house ML style. 

Just go absolutely nuts, make it look like shit, just like the comics. I need it to be pointy and dangerous and weirdly proportioned. 

Jae Lee was a big deal back then, I remember this Namor run regularly featured in Wizard but I couldn’t tell you anything about it almost 30 yrs later.

Can you imagine if this had been a comic wave as an homage to Wakanda Forever, plus a few other characters not related to WF but to Namor and T'Challa and it had:

The three we are getting:

Savage Namor

Namorita

Black Panther

...and these characters instead:

Attuma

Stingray

Kasper Cole - any of these costumes:

BAF M'Baku

Then we got the annual Avengers wave with the announced:

Vision

Justice

Princess Power

Crystar

BAF Void

...and these characters instead:

Isaiah Bradley

Firebird

Graviton

Is this wave Fan Channel only? Someone said this in another thread but that's the first I'd heard of this line also not going to Target/Walmart. I'm hoping that's not true - did Hasbro say that?

Dan posted on twitter this wave would go up for pre-order on Amazon & fan channel retailers...which is different from his usual verbiage of "all the usual retailers".
