I've also never thought of Bullseye as a particularly large character.

Frank's 6'3, 225 while Bullseye is 6', 175.

Then how about both Shotgun, and Solo on the new Punisher body? 😀 

 

I'm IN

Bullseye shouldn't be on the same body as Punisher.  Bullseye is not a big guy.  He's lithe.

Regarding full MCU waves.  Maybe Eternals really scared Hasbro of going all-in on a full wave of MCU figures.  Better to be a little conservative and make only a few characters.  They can always revisit a movie and add more figures at a later date.  MCU figures cost more, as they tend to have to be all-new sculpts with little reuse potential.  So I can understand them not wanting to go crazy with full waves of them.

Great, a new body with sculpted glove lines 🤣 

 

 

Yeah, I can't understand why Hasbro keeps using the arms with glove lines when they already have seamless ones since Hawkeye...

The very best (main/powerful characters).  All the universes.   Not going to tell you (ie a secret).   Could be the Secret Wars stuff.

The new body for Punisher if it is bigger, I'm pretty sure it's not bigger than Cap with his overlay.

The next Wonderman should be on that new body, Hawkeye should be on that body, Count Nefaria should've been and Blue Marvel. They could redo Hawkeye's modern look that was done on the Bucky Cap body and do Blue Marvel's look with the cape and the next Falcon in the FA look everyone seems to want.

I wanted Punisher off the new Fury or Dum Dum body. Sculpted boots and gloves really help

It could also be the Across The Spider-Verse wave, since the second Spider-Man wave for 2024 hasn't been revealed yet.  I'm really, REALLY hoping its the 40th anniversary "Secret Wars" wave, but I'm betting we'll see it at Hasbro's PulseCon next month.

They did tease Spider-Man Unlimited arm...and Spider-Boy (or whatever that stupid character name is) sneakers on SDCC. So there will be a Spider-Man Comic book wave in the future...The only question is, who's in it? 3 Retro cards and 3 Modern. 

I guess Spider-Boy on a modern card and Spider-Man Unlimited on a retro one. Who are the others? Animated Chameleon? 90's Blade? New Hydroman, New Hobgoblin? What else they can even put on these retro cards.

Edit: Nevermind...

So... I didn't know where else to post this - but just wanted to share.      Last week one of my friends that I went to San Diego Comic Con with swung by the house and during our conversation he reached into his pocket and said "hey - when I was at the show I signed up for Marvel Unlimited and they gave me this.   I know you do figures, so here."   And he handed me the purple Deadpool Legends figure that had been given out as an exclusive to Unlimited subscribers a few years ago.     I was so stoked.

I'm pretty close to a completist when it comes to comic based Legends figures - but the big gaps in my collection are the Unilimited Subscription exclusives.   I don't pay for the service so I don't have the silver and black Captain Marvel,  the brown suit Tony Stark, the spider-costume Ms. Marvel, etc.     I was SO stoked.   I asked what I could pay him for it and he said "dude... they literally gave it to me for free,  I don't want it, it's yours."   Amazing.

 

Then yesterday another buddy of mine dropped by to pick up the SDCC exclusive Darth Maul I had grabbed for him at the show.    After he got his figure he said "oh, I've been meaning to give this to you"  and handed me the brown costume Nova figure that was an Marvel Unlimited exclusive.      He said basically the same thing -  he signed up for the service, they sent him the figure and he has no use for it so it's mine.   

 

It's cool to have friends who have your back like that and nice that I got two figures I wouldn't have had otherwise because I didn't subscribe to the online comic service.     

 

Now if I only had a few more friends that had the Carol, Kamala, Kitty and Tony I'd be set  🤣

Very cool that you had friends that hooked you up with those figures! Don't forget about retro Daredevil too. But you gotta get that Unlimited subscription! It's actually great, though I admit I only signed up initially for the ML figure.

So... I don't do Unlimited because I don't have an interface that makes for an enjoyable reading experience for online comics.    My phone is too small for me to enjoy reading comics on and I have a work lap top but still have a desktop for my personal computer for home.   Maybe, someday if I get a laptop,  maybe I'll invest in the service.  But for now, no Marvel Unlimited subscription for me.   

 

And I have the Walgreen's yellow Daredevil so I don't need the Unlimited release for that.    I did forget the Venom/Punisher mash up though,  don't have that one either.

That's awesome.  I upped my membership type when they put out Nova as a bonus.  Now it's auto-renewing.  I have no clue what the next figure is, but I'm too lazy to change anything so I'll be getting it.

I get that. That slightly informed my decision to buy a Chromebook with a tablet mode whenever that was - probably 5 years ago at this point, and it's showing it's age!
