Man,  y'all are crazy.    This wave is SO good.   The only figure that I feel remotely ambivalent about is the Black Winter Thor -  and that's different enough from anything I already have that I'm not mad at it.   

 

Red Widow to add to my Winter Guard display is great.    Ikaris to start a comics Eternals faction... maybe I'll get a second Sersi and take the coat off her so he can have some company...  A huge upgrade for Ka-Zar.   A Wolfsbane we've been advocating for for ages.... heck the one I'm least excited about might actually be Cable and that looks like a pretty good figure.    And we get to build an awesome sabretooth cat to boot.    Super excited for that.    

 

If this wave sees any substantial discounts I may be tempted to build a second Zabu... I love me a pre-historic beast like that.

This is exactly the kind of wave I love. I went with Amazon for this one and they're still listed as a ways off, but I'd be psyched if they got bumped up to April (heck I wouldn't hate going through Gamestop instead). It hits that sweet spot for me of unmade characters I really want (Ikaris, Wolfsbane), ones I never thought we'd get (new Zabu and Ka-Zar), a fun and timely variant (Cable), someone I didn't know I wanted (Red Widow), and someone I know nothing about (Black Winter). I feel like once a year they have one of these kitchen sink waves and I always love them.

I couldn't agree more.    Since I'm not one of these niche marvel collectors who only buy a certain faction or from one specific era this kind of wave is just SO good.   It covers a ton of different areas all in one go.

Yeah, I love the character selection in this wave. Evil Iron Man in a brand new armor, a powerful Thor villain, a brand new villain to go with the Winter Guard, Ikaris! This wave is great.

Only one I don’t know about is Wolfsbane, but I have certainly seen people request her on the Fwoosh.

Has anyone had a shipping notice for this wave yet? Looks like Gamestop pushed the release date back to 5/22 on their website. Looking forward to Wolfsbane.

Yeah saw that on GameStop and went to check my account and noticed GameStop had stopped the charge, bummer.

Same here. They’re great at getting you pumped for a shipment happening soon but absolutely radio silence when that gets delayed. They could at least send a courtesy email saying the date changed.

If Hasbro Pulse doesn't update the release date for a figure(s), then I don't trust the other retailers release date. Pulse has been pretty good with releasing products around the same other retailers have or close.

Pulse has both this wave and Iron Man retro listed with a July 1 release date. Not sure if that date has changed since the wave first went up.

You know that feeling you get when you see a reveal during a livestream for a figure you really want and the execution knocks it out of the park? That's the feeling I got when the Forums actually loaded this time. I've missed this place.

Iron Man is on his way to me, and Red Widow arrived yesterday. She's cool, but not knowing the character I can't help but keep thinking she's Crimson Cowl when I look at her. My only exposure to Red Widow was the recent Winter Guard limited series from a bit ago.

The only other figure I have ordered from this wave is Ikaris. I figured if I'm not going to be able to build Zabu, why bother with Ka-Zar. And despite my love of all things Thor, Black Winter just doesn't do it for me when far more classic and important characters still remain undone. Maybe if he's on sale or clearance at some point.
