Wow, great job by the team today! So much good stuff knowing that they had to hold some stuff back for PulseCon next month!
Death's Head and Kang that were already revealed are must haves. I might buy two Kangs. I'll definitely pick up at least one set of video game Sentinels also.
Crystal will likely end up being one of my top 5 figures of the year! I already have the Mezco 1:12 Lockjaw, which is spectacular but will have to get this one also. Hasbro has been killing it on the female figures over the past year. Can we get Triton next for the Inhumans, please?
I'll likely pick up Quicksilver if he's fully pinless (which it looks like he is), otherwise I'll probably stick with the Family Matters 3-pack version.
I'm mildly disappointed that I have to buy that Dormammu possessed Dr. Strange to get Wong and Bats, but will still be doing so without hesitation.
I'm not at all disappointed about having to buy that Punisher to get Bushwacker though, that new buck looks great!
No interest in the new Deadpool movie stuff because they didn't actually do any of the characters that I would want yet. I'm undecided on Deadpool movie Colossus, but leaning towards passing right now. I might get civilian Logan if I find him later at a reduced price.
No interest in Venompool. Skipped the BAF and will skip the brighter colored deluxe as well.
The Outriders 2-pack has been a want of mine for a very long time. I bought a couple of the Marvel Select Chitauri but have always wanted Outriders. I expect to buy 2 of those 2-packs.
Finally getting ROM! I'm super stoked for that. I know that this was likely hard to pull off since Marvel doesn't own the rights to the character anymore, but luckily it's Hasbro who does!
Is the sneak peak for Spider-Boy? I'll likely buy him, if so!
Finally, my enthusiasm for Dragon Man might be a little than it is for others because I'm lucky enough to actually have the Toy Biz version, but I'm sure that I'll likely buy this version also.
Again, great job, Hasbro Team!. I'm still expecting Secret Wars anniversary stuff next month at PulseCon!
One sneak peek looked like for the Bailey Briggs Spider-Boy, the other could possibly 90s Kaine.Wow, great job by the team today! So much good stuff knowing that they had to hold some stuff back for PulseCon next month!

Going to need 2 Crystals. One for the Inhumans display and one for the early 90s Avengers display. Once the black and white costume with the jacket comes that one can go in my "a bit later 90s" Avengers display. Definitely don't need two Lockjaws though so I wonder what the odds are that anyone would want a Lockjaw without a Crystal.

My daughter is a huge Ms. Marvel fan and only wants the Lockjaw for her collection. So the odds are pretty good! Feel free to send a PM if you want to figure something out!
@rexmason there is unfortunately no PM function anymore but I have an email I created just for business here in case bots are crawling the place.

Will do!
I have found nearly all the multi pack figures sell pretty well on their own. Sometimes you lose a few bucks; just a small tax to pay for the figures you do want.
Yeah. I absolutely need a few Lockjaws. Despite the lack of knees, it’s a damn good set!
I'm curious - what's the deal with people not liking this take on Lockjaw's legs? They said they tried to articulate them but didn't like the way it looked/worked. So they give two sets of legs. Is Lockjaw not going to be able to do a pose people were really looking forward to with these two options?
Zabu is great, but Cosmo was not, so I'm okay taking Hasbro at their word on this.
But, I'm only in this for Crystal. And I need two of her. And I wish one of the two heads was more classic looking. I might still use an old MJ/BW head. 🙁

I pondered this for a while after Dwight said it, but I can't make sense of it. Lockjaw is a giant dog...how does his anatomy hinder the two joints per leg (knees and ankles) they skipped any more than it has for the multitude of other big cats and dogs Hasbro has been doing across lines in recent years? Just take Zabu--a smilodon had almost exactly the same joint function as dogs today.
A stiff-legged pose for a dog isn't how their legs work. They usually bend their knees and ankles quite a bit while just standing. He's going to look unnatural in everything but the sitting pose.
Seeing how nice Crystal and Lockjaw are they make Medusa and Black Bolt look like dark day figures. Displaying them together will really highlight that. They really need updates, especially Medusa!
The Joe team has been doing fully articulated dogs and they're all the better for it, and they're tiny. Lockjaw is far larger and should accommodate articulation even better, so the fact that they aren't feels weird.
I also tend to like Lockjaw's earlier appearances where he looks a little more alien instead of the artistic trend of making him look like a really large regular dog, so there's some bittersweetness to them finally making Lockjaw. It's definitely cool that he's being made, but not my ideal execution.
I'm by no means a Lockjaw expert, but it does seem maybe for the standing legs they could have had at least limited articulation. They probably tested sitting fully articulated and standing fully articulated and thought it looked unnatural. Which if you can't visualize why it would look unnatural, think about, that at least for the version they went with he is a husky dog, and his legs would look very different, sometimes off, with full articulation.
