They still need to do a proper full mask Gene Colan Dr Strange. He can go on my mystic shelf and classic Strange on the Defenders one.

 

Totally agree on that front.    The masked head they threw in previously did not cut the mustard

@panthercult I mean the head was fine but his body changes in that form. He doesn't wear the tunic. Ironically its just a basic painted body with some glove / boot cuffs.

Right... that's actually what I meant, was that it didn't work on the body they included it with.  It was extra stupid on that body because of the flesh tone neck going into the fully masked head.   Ludicrous.

@panthercult I'd even forgot about the neck. C'mon Hasbro make me pay the Gene Colan Strange tax to get a Baron Mordo or Umar or something.

I pre-ordered it as well, though Bats will be going into the Box of No Return™ since he's someone I have zero connection to or interest in.

 

Say that again into these eyes:
Bats (Earth-616) - Marvel Comics

Why throw Bats into a box instead of just putting him on Ebay? Or selling to someone here? You'd make a good chunk back, probably. I'm sure someone is willing to pay ~$20 for him.

I love Bats, can't wait to get him!

Also I'm kinda excited about that Dormammu head. The paint scheme is MUCH better than the all-red head that came with the BotBG Dormammu. For a tossed-in item it creates a nice upgrade to a previous figure.

Yes, this to me is the perfect mix of the two prior Dormy heads and what I want for the classic Dormy - just before this set was announced I was contemplating painting the mask on the modern Dormy red to get this look.

I read that as "Gene Colan vs Baron Mordo vs Dracula 3-pack".
Still a better love story than Twilight.

Yeah. I touched up the flames with 2 shades of yellow and an orange long ago on that red blob Dormammu

Q&A with Dan Who? Reviews and Dan Yun:

DRAGON MAN PRE-ORDER DETAILS, BAF WAVES & MORE! Marvel Legends Interview August 2024 with Dan Yun (youtube.com)

On Insta and Twitter/X, Dan Who? asked the community for questions to ask Dan Yun. He got over 300 questions. A lot of them were strictly character selection, but there were some really great questions.

The questions he asked in this interview were fine, but he didn't touch on any, in my opinion, really interesting topics. Most of the questions seemed to be "can you clarify this" types of questions.

Dan Yun did not give any figure clues.

 

Paraphrased, edited. Please listen to the actual interview.

-BAF "Epic" wave: Might be the end of this year or the beginning of next year. Character selection of this wave is "top tier" for Dan Yun. (Beamish: that translates to Spidey or X-Men wave.)

-BAF waves will continue.

-Retro cards: any new cardback designs, like Generation X? Dan Yun - new cardbacks we haven't seen yet coming soon. (Beamish - probably Secret Wars).

-Animated Chameleon coming soon? Dan Yun pushes for animated characters.

-Dragon Man - pre-order in 2024, arrive late 2025. Possibly 30-45 days to pre-order, not determined yet.

-Is HasLab concept gone for Legends? No. Dragon Man concept is just another way to offer product.

-Will the MCU Legacy banner continue? Yes. It takes "patience, balance and good timing" to get the figures you want. "Let us know which MCU characters you want". Dan Who specifically mentioned Electro and Lizard, Dan Yun mentioned they are aware. Chitauri "on their minds".

-X-Men '97 - The line will continue, it's "a matter of patience".

-Team in a box concept - very subjective, includes talking with customer retailers and other partners. Dan Yun did say, and I quote "we're gonna try to definitely string you guys along on some teams and close the loop on some teams."

-2025/2026 - they are trying to complete more teams.

-Army Builders, are you trying to get army builders more available? Dan Yun - If it makes sense to do so.

Pulse Con clues? Nope.
