I ordered the Sabertooth set. I don't have a cowboy Wolverine so this works out. Wish his face sculpt was a bit grumpier, honestly. 

Sabertooth looks like a great replacement for that old Apocalypse wave one that I have. It was okay at the time but it really doesn't hold up.

The tease pretty much has to be Rachel. I know the Legends team have had fun swerving us with the teases before (remember when they showed a staff and everyone was trying to guess which version of Gambit was going to release?), but they must know they're *ahem* playing with fire if that base ends up being for anybody but Rachel (or maybe Mephisto). There's no way marketers would get us talking about the possibility of literally one of our most-wanted figures (in the top 5 the last 3 most wanted lists, including #2 on the most recent), only for us to be disappointed regardless of how cool the reveal is.

Like a few others here, I would take Sabertooth and Lilandra, but could do without each of the Wolverines they come with.  Especially since I can't picture a whole ton of people looking to scoop them up second hand.  Not sure what I'll do.....

If they are going to stick with the multipack theme how about Psylocke two pack with Outback armor and redo of the Jim Lee version, and a "thanks for waiting" 3 pack with Wolfsbane, Feral, and Rachel.  They'd be sell outs.

Brood Wolverine’s scale arms make me think of the X-Men Super Skrull from Secret Invasion who had Wolverine’s mask and claws, Colossus metal arms, and  Cyclops visor.

M suit Magneto is interesting; too bad he doesn't come with shackles to recreate the Trial of Magneto. I don't really need more Wolverines, so I guess I'm glad that I'm happy with the versions of Sabertooth I already have. Does he use a bigger base body, or is it the old body with new head/mane/hands? I'll have to really think about Lilandra, though. Brooderine isn't really a must-have. Hm. 

X-Cutioner is one of my favorite D list villains, but I really, really prefer his original costume's ridiculousness. I'll probably still grab this version, though; it's not like I dislike it (and I'm not holding my breath for a second version of him).

OK, I know this is a long shot but...

What if the flame effect tease is a part of some sort of apparatus for Air-Walker to attach to Galactus?

We know:

-Jesse Falcon wants Air-Walker.

-A repaint of Herald Thor is on the rumor list for 2024.

It would be just like Hasbro to put Air-Walker in a 2-pack with the repaint Herald Thor.

Is the Sabretooth set the only Amazon partner one?  They don’t seem to be listing the Lililandra set.

I want Air-Walker. I wouldn't hate that except for that I want Rachel more.

I could be completely wrong, but it really looks to me like the top of that flame effect is peg shaped and could possibly plug into a figures foot. Which figure? I have no clue. I would love to see it go with a Jim Hammond original Human Torch or Gabriel, the Air Walker or a Hound version of Rachel Summers.

It is mildly hilarious how many people here are like "I love all of the non-Wolverine characters in these 2-packs but could live without the Wolverine"  -   that's obviously the point.     Who on earth needs another Logan in a pendelton and a cowboy hat?   Almost no one.    Who really wants a version of Wolverine that is technically comic accurate but only for like two panels and one iconic cover (Uncanny 234)?    The number is low.

 

But Wolverine sells to the retail outlets - and selling us a two pack to get one figure we want gets them more cash.    

 

This is the way

@panthercult I’m pretty sure everyone is well aware of that, it just doesn’t mean we have to go along with it or can’t voice displeasure about the choice.

But after a decade of voicing displeasure about it, does it not feel a smidge redundant.

Please don't get my hopes up for Air-Walker. That's just mean. 😝

Are they on Amazon? Don’t understand their search algorithms when all possible combinations of “Brood, Wolverine, Lilandra, Marvel Legends, an 2 pack” don’t find it.
