Now that the last livestream of the year is out, we know what's still unannounced from our wish list. Here's mine for 2024:
- Albert (Robot Wolverine) & Elsie Dee
- Brood Army Builders
- Adam Warlock - Classic
- Roughhouse
- Wolfsbane - Liefield XForce
- Iron Fist - Classic
- Bolivar Trask
- Hobgoblin - Comic
- Gideon (last made in 90s ToyBiz)
- Forearm (last made in 90s ToyBiz)
BAF = Holocaust
My rationale is I want to build out more of the 80s and 90s Wolverine series characters.
Brood army builder will go with Lilandra and Brood Wolverine. Without the Brood Army builders I'll skip the 2-pack because just a sole Brood Wolverine on a shelf will not excite me.
Bolivar Track can go with our Sentinels.
Hobgoblin desperately needs a comic re-release, the last one is going for $100 and we're getting so much great Spiderman, it's a shame that we need to resort to spending $100 on an outdated figure body to complete the shelf.
As goofy as the art is, I love the 90s Liefield stuff, and loved the 90s 5" ToyBiz line and want to see all of those XForce characters built out.
Holocaust as the BAF to finish out AoA stuff.
My honorable mentions are to re-release the Black Widow figure that had poor distribution. I know I'm not the only one, Nerdzoic just made a video last week saying he never saw any for sale and wasn't able to get one and he's freaking Big Nerdy! There's precedent for Hasbro to make exclusives available on BBTS and Pulse after a year or two passes.
I'd also love a re-release of 90s comic Ice Man, which the last one from a few years ago suffered from a line down his skull due to poor tooling.
And I'd like a release of Wolverine in Brown Suit on a retro card using the Uncanny Men retro styling card art from a few years ago to complete that set. And a Cyclops and Jean Grey. I put these as honorable mentions because I know they have zero chance of getting made because they just put them out in Cartoon Form on the XMEN 97 art card backs. Which would't work for me, trying to build out an Uncanny Men Retro cardback set.

Hmmm.

Now I can finally replace my vote for Angel with AOA Angel. Such progress.
Deathbird is #1 on my Top 10 list, but I'm actually going to skip her for 2024 since Hasbro probably wouldn't get us both sisters in the same year. So, she'll re-appear on my 2025 wish list.
I'm also not including an update to Pym Yellowjacket because that is just too obvious. He has to be coming out to compliment Giant-Man.

1) Jack of Hearts
2) Mantis
3) Skurge
4) Gargoyle
5) Attuma
6) Swarm
