I miss this and the 2023 GD threads from the former Fwoosh...
OK, Dan said the 2024 Avengers wave would hit early 2024 or even late 2023.
The annual Avengers wave usually hits Spring-ish.
So, maybe they bumped this wave up to compensate for any delays to the release schedule due to the writers strike, leaving room for other comic waves later in the year.
What I'm thinking is that several waves are being bumped up to compensate, and maybe easy-to-cobble-together waves are being planned right now for Sept-Dec 2024 releases. Figures that have been patiently sitting in the vault that were bumped out of other wavs, or figures that are easy repaints on existing bucks with newly sculped heads.
Thoughts?
I dont know how they're going to compensate for the delays, but I def think the Deadpool 3 and Thunderbolts waved are going to come later. Cap 4 I think will come out next year, but be only movie. So I think that wave happens.
I am hoping we get 2 D+ waves next year and some make ups like High Evolutionary or Dar-Benn from the MCU sector. I am also hoping there is another Saga wave coming after the one we already saw and that future ones sprinkle in some previously unmade characters. I need my unmade bad guys!
@e-rock definitely need more saga waves. And throw in some Fox figures as a pre-Deadpool 3 release. But I'm sure they could get a wave or two just out of the Disney plus shows already released. Throw in Echo, Loki 2 stuff, even Agatha assuming that still comes out at the end of the year... doesn't have to be a MCU drought.
Red Widow - where is she going? 2-pack with someone like Vanguard? Since she's a modern character created in 2019, maybe paired with another modern character?
I share your love of the Winter Guard, @h-bird. And I'm hoping for that very Vanguard sooner rather than later.
I hope that we get Iron Maiden.
I'm really hoping 2024 brings us another Bring on the Bad Guys wave. I'd also be super stoked if we got a dedicated cosmic wave.
YES!!! They should do it annually.I'm really hoping 2024 brings us another Bring on the Bad Guys wave. I'd also be super stoked if we got a dedicated cosmic wave.
Broken record time: I'm hoping that in 2024 the Legends team remembers that Thor and a lot of his supporting staff and enemies need figures done, and that the character has fans who have been waiting for far too long for a proper comic Skurge figure.
I love the Winter Guard! Definitely want all of them. Vanguard and Titanium Man as well.I love the Winter Guard / Soviet Super-Soldiers, so that Red Widow reveal was exciting - glad that team is on their radar. There are a ton of visually interesting characters remaining from that group that would make great figures so bring on any themed waves or multipacks!
I was super psyched to see the Red Widow reveal!
There isn't an Iron Man figure in the Avengers wave. There is no way there won't be at least one Iron Man in 2024.
Where will he show up?
According to the leak list, which so far hasn't had any reveals so it may not be true at all, there are two Iron Man armors (Heroes Reborn and 300), along with Count Nefaria, who's battled Tony on numerous occasions. Nefaria also isn't in the Avengers wave, so if he is coming in 2024, he has to go somewhere.
I'd guess a retro wave with the two listed armors:
Count Nefaria
Blacklash, who Dan mentioned in a livestream last year, if I remember correctly, in a conversation about if there was another Iron Man wave who he'd like to see in it
Madame Masque update with an alternate head for the Masque clone
Mandarin, no clue as to which look they would go with
Madame Masque update with an alternate head for the Masque clone
Love this idea. The main difference is the mask is basically gray/silver instead of gold, right? I would definitely pick up two if they do this!
