That Astonishing Wolverine (if real) is incredible. They are clearly going all in on a full Astonishing team, which is great. I do hope this Wolverine is single packed, because I'll want a few. Realistically, it will be used to move a likely all-reuse/kitbash Kitty.
It would be great if Hasbro would give us a brown/tan suit on the pinless body used for the '97 figure. I guess now that we're potentially getting a Wolverine with the inverted ab and ball torso like the standard Spider-Men, that may be the expectation for future Wolverine releases. Tiger Stripe and brown/tan would be destined for a re-do anyway.
I don’t know where to ask this, so I’ll do it here. Does the new board have a buy/sell/trade forum like the old board did? I have so MLs and MOTUC figures lid like to sell, but I don’t know the proper way to go about it now. If there even is a proper way now.
There is no BEST way to sell figures online. You either go to a place that will gouge you with fees and taxes or you go to a place where your items will get a lot less exposure and may not be as protected against scamming.
I keep meaning to just start a thread here with pics of what I have for sale and my email. It was nice when we had PMs.

They don't need to convince me to buy a new Kitty. The Juggernaut wave figure is the worst figure I own by a long shot (the closest runners-up are Walgreens Mystique, box-set Fantomex, and retro Iceman). My entire ML collection is post-ROML (and I think post-2015), but it's an awful figure. Long, gangly limbs and it hardly stands. It also has the loosest joints of any figure in my collection.
But her face and belt are great.
I hope the next Kitty figure is designed to pop apart easily so we can have her phasing through our shelves. Or an alternate torso where all the other parts can pop on that cuts her in half.
We could use like a full on 5 pack of just various Kitty Costumes
Original black and yellow with the cowl covering her head
Green and Yellow Sprite/Ariel costume
We could do the spiky hair, black leather jacket and boots, w/ tight light blue pants she wore in the Kitty/Wolverine mini series?
or the crop top and peekaboo leggings get up she had in Xtreme X-Men:
And then of course there's the much needed Astonishing costume done right and well
Or the X-Men Gold look?
and then of course Red Queen Pirate Kitty Pryde would be super fun
It's time... let's go!
Investing in male and female teen X-Men training uniforms would pay off by the bucket.
I still can't believe they haven't yet. They'd cover Kitty, Jean, Cyclops, Angel, Magik, Moonstar, Karma, Sunspot, Cannonball, Cypher, Wolfsbane, Pixie, Surge, X-23, Hellion...........
No love for these shoulder pads? It's my favorite look! And unique to her.
This is also a good one:

Hypothetically - The rumored Avengers Retro Wave:
If 1st Appearance Wasp is the mystery pre-order next week, meaning she wouldn't be part of the Retro Wave...
...and classic She-Hulk and Count Nefaria are part of the Iron Man Retro Wave...
...and both Quicksilver and Warbird are rumored to be on Retro Cards...
Who do you think is in this rumored Retro Wave?
My guesses...
I think it'll be Fan Channel only, so no need for any of the big three to anchor it.
Quicksilver - in classic green
Warbird - although I think it's really classic Ms. Marvel since she is the only character all over the Avengers Anniversary marketing blitz that doesn't have new/updated figure. They will probably color her legs blue to match the marketing artwork. Karla Sofen Dark Ms. Marvel head pack-in. I'd definitely buy 2 to display both.
Yellowjacket - to tie into the HasLab release
Skurge the Executioner - it's finally time
Titania - I think she'll be here instead of the Secret Wars anniversary offering. Secret Wars will probably just focus on the Mattel line figures.
As for Spot #6 - I really don't know. There are so many good contenders from fairly easy figures to make with existing parts like Starfox, Firebird, Jim Hammond Human Torch, Triathlon/3-D Man, Dr. Druid and villains like Melter, Blackout, Nebula, Graviton and fin helmet Moonstone to more difficult figures that will take the sculpting/paint budget like Jack of Hearts, Stingray, Living Lightning, horn helmet Gilgamesh, Two-Gun Kid, Marrina, Silverclaw and villains like Attuma, M'Baku and cyborg Korvac. It could also be Crystal in blue/white with bomber jacket, Sersi in classic green or any of Wonder Man's costumes.
As for the continuation of the Avengers Anniversary which the guys have all said will carry over into 2024, I can see:
Mantis & Swordsman 2-pack (Fan Channel)
Speaking of the Secret Wars offering - this is where I think classic 70's costume Falcon and Redwing will go. He could easily go in the Avengers Retro Card Wave, but he also fits in nicely with Secret Wars - and his lenticular shield.
If there is more Captain America product on the horizon this year, which Dan apparently alluded to on X/Twitter, I can see Demolition Man as part of a Retro Card or a BAF Wave.
They put three random Iron Man figures in retro Iron Man wave...also She-Hulk. I wouldn't expect a wave full of obscure classic Avengers characters. It's going to be something random. Classic and Modern.
Classic Wasp, Warbird and Quicksilver make sense. I hope it's updated Quicksilver in blue and Warbird in her black costume. I want to complete my 70-80's\George Perez Avengers team. We need Yellowjacket. Maybe that small Quinjet comes with him...As for Villains. No Idea. Something random like Leader or Enchantress.
Or maybe it's just Classic Wasp and Yellowjacket two-pack. Who knows at this point.
I'm not sure if this is exactly how it works, but I assume Titania will use the same parts as She-Hulk, and it feels likely that those molds will still be in use making her. Putting off Titania for a later Secret Wars wave seems not only more thematic, but also more practical.
But a Yellowjacket and a Ms. Marvel would be kind of neat, and I would Minute 1 buy an original Firebird and Jack of Hearts.
There is not one. Ebay/Mercari/FB Marketplace. OfferUp, maybe? Those are the ones I know about.
I’ve used eBay extensively in the past, but I really prefer dealing with forum members. Hopefully we can get a buy/sell forum re-established.

This would certainly be a very welcome grouping of figures!
Re: Ms. Marvel, I'd prefer she look like her original design without the leggings colored in. If they do go that route though, I hope they'll include not just a Karla Sofen head but also a head to make Dr. Minerva:
If they're going to go with the "updated" classic look, might as well get another extra character out of the deal.
Green Quicksilver would be great to get - hope he has his gloves and booties.
All the rest would be great to see. I do think it's likely we'll have at least one of the big 3 in this wave - maybe the additional Cap figure Dan alluded to shows up here.
What's all this then about 1st app Wasp being a mystery preorder this week?? I saw mention of it the other day so I ran a couple searches last night here and via google, yet failed to find anything informative. Someone please give me the skinny.
