I am so disappointed with the "Strange Tales" wave and that the Phoenix was not Rachel. I am however happy that Destiny comes with Brotherhood Rogue instead of Mystique, though I seem to be in the minority from what I can see. I'm up for every pre-Jim Lee Rogue look there is, so this checks one off the list. Hoping to see better stuff at SDCC.
Damn. It’s hard for them to drop what will still probably be my favorite ML wave of all time, with so much “new” in it, and then include literally my favorite character with an all-new sculpt but a costume I’ve never liked. Oof. I’m so conflicted.
It’s not lost on me, though, that they dropped an entire horrror/“dark” wave and there are zero “classic” monster looks to be found. Even Brother Voodoo is modern. Sigh. Still gonna have to wait for the classic horror characters I crave.
I really, REALLY thought they’d go for a cheaper/easier option for Dracula with a nice suit body and new heads/hands/cape, but maybe someday . . .
I'm in for Phoenix (duh), the Strange Tales wave, and Destiny/Rogue. Yay!
Blackheart looks great. Love him. But I don't care about anyone in that wave.
Another Brother "Who Cares", Ugly ass Storm and lame Wolverine. "Stripper" Hellstorm is just as boring. Lilith and Dracula are cool, but I don't need them. Moon Knight is maybe.
Thats why I hate BAF Waves now. I want that Blackheart, but...he is in the "hostage wave".
Those of you who have been clamoring for Dracula, is that a version you're happy with?
Absolutely 100% NOT.
So - the anniversary stuff has all been great. The waves all seem to be a bit of re-use filler with some decent figures mixed in... which also have a bunch of re-use. Seeing a brown costume Wolverine once again with random new crap added for a specific and limited appearance is... not exciting. The BAF being good is probably going to frustrate a lot of people.
An updated Venom is nice to see. A better Phoenix is also good, but people definite wanted a new character. I get that.
Not an Earth shattering stream outside of Odin - which is incredible. Dracula looks cool - he's the only version I know.
Odin looks very impressive. Love the look they picked for him and the alternate crowns to create different looks.
Odin looks great. Blackheart looks great.
I can't even say I'm massively disappointed in the Strange Tales wave as a whole, because I knew deep down inside that it was going to be massively disappointing, at least to my own personal "Strange Tales" wishlist. Putting a Storm and Wolverine in the wave is an entirely new level of concentrated whatthefuck though.
Phoenix looks awesome. Love that costume for her and the flame effects look great!
Lilith is a top 10 want for me this year, and this specific look of Dracula is the exact one I wanted. I hope we get Colan too, but overall I just prefer this one. I'm a bit sad at no Adam Warlock for a Strange Tales wave, but Starlin Warlock will happen SOON. Mark my damn words. Blood Storm and that Wolverine are total duds though. Shouldn't have been in this wave.
I hope this wave does well enough to justify a follow-up wave or one off releases. If Daimon and Lilith can get put on fan channel, that gives me at least some hope for other demonic characters.
I zoned out during the disappointing Strange Tales reveal. Did Dwight mention his skull picture "clue"?
he did not. Brother Voodoo's face paint?
I like some of the stuff. 😀 Odd choices for characters/versions of them, etc, but still nice to get them.
