The leaks look good... definitely a few intriguing figures. For Spideyverse I hope we get Spider-Man India with an extra unmasked head sculpt, a better Peter B Parker and I'd love a Glover Prowler too.Ā
Hope AoA Gambit comes out this year too... it's been so long since the last AoA wave. I'd even take him as a one off in an X wave or exclusive somewhere. Pinless too please.

Off topic but was Fwoosh unavailable yesterday or was it my computer?
The others didn't really want to mention anything, but we had a f'king rager in here yesterday. Reveals, reviews, nudes.... it was off the chain.
The Fwoosh is back, baby!!
Vhat ezz diss MSRP...?
It was giving me a "Database Unknown" or some such error message yesterday too.
I believe Robo was their tech guy since he said he chose to do the new site on Wordpress since that's what he knows best, and since he left Fwoosh I was wondering what would happen when the site went down next time.Ā I was afraid it would be permanent once I saw it down this week, but good to see they have some replacement tech support solution to Robo now.Ā 😳Ā

Which one of the Fwoosh Team did the Top 10 poll and is that person still at Fwoosh?
@disneyboy Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price, or "sticker price". It's what the manufacturer (Hasbro in this case) suggests the item be sold for. It means there's no crazy mark-up, like Hasbro suggests a figure sell for $24.99 and a shop decides to sell it for $29.99 to make more money. So MSRP is as cheap as you can get it without a discount.

Prodigy. Not sure.

Very cool leaks, if true.Ā
I loved Dark Reign, so the Cabal set sounds amazing. New Iron Patriot!! I wonder if Taskmaster will get upgraded by getting the Vulcan base body. Sounds like a really fun set.Ā
Deluxe Hulkbuster Iron Man! That would be awesome. Hopefully it will be the classic comic version. But Iād buy any Hulkbuster armor.Ā
Warbird is my favorite costume for Carol Danvers, so it would be very cool to get a new figure of her. Hopefully upgraded like Moonstone. All pinless would be ideal.Ā

I hope it's not the same version as the Marvel Select. That's such a good figure, I'm not sure I'd need a replacement.Ā
You're the expert, how many different versions of the Hulkbuster have there been?Ā
Ā
Yeah.Ā The MS Hulkbuster is super nice.Ā Ā I didn't think ML could beat the MS Destroyer, but the new ML Destroyer is one of my favorite figures of last year.Ā Ā I can see a ML Hulkbuster being more playable than the MS one, especially as we'd likely get some different hand options instead of being stuck with one open and one fist.
I'm guessing the deluxe Hulkbuster is the MCU one re-re-released again.Ā Hasbro has been re-releasing BAFs, so I can see them giving that mold one more go.Ā I have the BAF version but didn't get the 2pk one (seemed to have limited distribution), however I may buy a single deluxe release if it has nice paint apps (shiny metallic colors).
I did get the raging Hulk from that anniversary set but not the Hulkbuster since I had the BAF already. The paint did look better on it though, so I imagine if that's what the 2024 Hulkbuster is, it will be at least that good. For an almost-decade old mold, it's holding up pretty well.
Wouldn't be surprised if it's a What If Hulkbuster suit - or whatever they called it, without Hulk. They've known of that design for a LOOONG time, and it's probably too big to fit in as a BAF.
Is there a market for that design, though? TBD.
Had a thought - the fire stand tease in the last livestream? Looks a lot like this FF Mezco stand - maybe it was a tease for that Jim Hammond Torch everyone always wants?
Ā
@schizm That's a really good guess. I wouldn't be surprised if you're right. I don't know if there's a market for it, but maybe. They keep doing What if figures so I guess so.
This is the one I want.Ā It hasn't been done as accurately as it could be and just looks cool.Ā Hulk himself knew even then it should be a Marvel Legend 🙂Ā Ā No thanks to MCU
