@stephenwdavis It totally could be still that. Though leaks aren't everything. I don't think Death's Head was on anybody's radar, was it? I think in the rock's case it is just folks looking for visual matches and the arcade one seems closest for now (assuming it's not just a random piece of terrain). And we've definitely had some confirmations come from accessories this year (Skaar and some upcoming Kang). If it's not the sentinel then my wallet will get a little break so that will be a blessing.
Look, I can't even begin to guess who the rock accessory goes to. I never guess correctly on things like this. Never. It's a gift.
That said, this is who I would LIKE to see re-released as a Deluxe, non-exclusive, solo figure:

I know, we got a him a while back as a SDCC exclusive, but he didn't have the rock with him. And Hasbro does tend to re-use/resell figures. If nothing else, I'd love to see a Deluxe Hulk for the Retro "Secret Wars" wave. Just give him some butterfly shoulder joints and alternate clapping hands and watch me pre-order three or four of him.
It'll be a Rock and Redeemer 2pack. 😉 😀
Since they're redoing Skaar maybe its a comic Korg? seems unlikely to me though, whereas some sort of Sentinel release makes a whole lot of sense, especially with X-Men '97 being pretty much the most popular marvel thing at the moment
If they're making colossus I hope it's Outback Colossus and that he comes in a multi pack with Storm, Psylocke, Gateway and Maddie.
I hope they don’t do that. I strongly dislike multipacks. Please release the figures individually.
Looks like Magik is indeed the EE clue for July 18th...
"A returning favorite! This hard-to-find action figure is coming soon, and you'll want to set a reminder for something magical."
Si-Fi Toys put the pre-order up early. Due in August.
Happy for those who missed her, but she is sorely past due for a new figure. This will be the 3rd time this figure has been offered (even though the Walgreen's release was a vast improvement over the Book of Vishanti boxset)...
EDIT: Wait, does this mean there's a chance she could be popping up in Deadpool & Wolverine?
I think most of their re-issues line up with media appearances 🤔
Got word from BBTS that my Fantastic Four Wolvie and Spidey 2-pack is getting ready to ship. So, looks like we probably should be preparing for the late July onslaught again.

I was hoping maybe this could mean a new release of a different version of the character - but alas the wording seems pretty clear it's a re-release "returning favorite" "hard-to-find figure"...
So, I wonder how many of the Walgreens exclusives they plan to re-release like this. Are there some people feel they really need? I could see them doing Mystique to go with the Destiny/Rogue set, maybe.
Certainly none of the later cosmic wave that ended up at remainder stores and what not ... are there any others that were hard to find enough to warrant a re-release?
Is the Werewolf By Night Man Thing Deluxe figure just the exact same figure as the previous Man Thing BAF, just with some different paint apps?

No - it shares some of the same parts but also has some different pieces. I believe it is shaped a bit different. It has a new torso, head, forearms, and shins. So, the shoulders and upper arms, the waist, crotch, thighs, hands and feet are re-use but the rest is new.
There's a DanWho YouTube video that goes over it in decent detail.
Thank You 🙂
I really thought just looking at it that it was the same as the BAF, just with some different paint applications.
I think this is probably my favorite comic design for Iron Man:
Figure please.
