"we're gonna try to definitely string you guys along on some teams and close the loop on some teams."

Thank you for posting all that, and condensing it after taking the time to listen. But also, I gotta give them credit for being up front like that.

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

This is such a waste of a question.

A) He isn't going to rule it out even if future HasLabs are unlikely (they aren't).

B) Who cares? From an individual consumer's perspective, Dragon Man functions the same way as a HasLab.

"Top tier for me" he says about Dwight's epic BAF. I smell a Spider-Slayer.

Watch the BaF be Jarvis. And you know what? If that gets him to us I’m okay with it.

I would re-do my entire Avengers display to accommodate this

Yep. The fact that we got the grey version with the Perez-esque head years ago and still haven't gotten a blue repaint of that exact figure, or toss in the Perez-esque head with the more recent Beast, especially during the Avengers 60th anniversary year is just lame.

stringing along has been a practice since the beginning.  The real news is the “loop closing”.  That could mean they’re finishing some teams or team lineups, like the ANAD X-Factor (not without Val Cooper!).  A more disparaging take could mean they’re just stopping with particular teams.  Let’s hope that’s not the case.

I don't think that's the case. In the video Dan goes on to say that in 2025/26 they will be completing some teams. I think that's what he meant by "closing the loop". Probably Excalibur, Astonishing X-Men, maybe the Inhumans, Alpha Flight, X-Force or New Warriors? Ones that they're already close to completing.

 

And they can "string us along" by building on or starting teams/eras like the Serpent Society, AoA, classic X-Factor, the Marauders, Morrison's X-Men, the Invaders, Young Avengers, Runaways, Power Pack, New Mutants, etc.

Got charged for my Konami arcade Sentinels. Wasn't expecting these until September.

Same here! It was a bit of a shock seeing them hit the credit card without warning. The ETA was 9/1 though, so really not far off.

Speaking of the Sentinels--in Dan Who's interview of Dan Yun he said that because they sold out so fast they're looking at doing another production run of them.
