ok. A Destiny and Mystique 2pack is very very exciting. Destiny is a long overdue and Mystique need a new figure in a better body. I hope both include alternate head. Unmasked for Irene and long hair for Raven.
I'm also excited for Xavier if he's in his iconic jumpsuit.
But I'm getting underwhelmed we still did not get any hints of proper X-Men waves for this year. I like all the Wolverine 2-packs and Deadpool 3 wave should be exciting but I need a BAF X-Men wave and a Retro carded one.
I still need: Revanche, green Banshee, human Iceman, Deathbird, Feral, Hepzibah, Raza, the resto of the Outback team, a better Jim Lee Psylocke... and not having X-Men centric waves will make it feel like forever to be getting them...
Worth mentioning that the last X-Men retro card wave did not appear on any leak lists
So does anything on here seem to look like it might correspond to that flame effect teaser Dwight showed off last livestream? I'm still hoping for Rachel Summers even though she wasn't named on here. Maybe she is coming in one of the BAF waves? Could be that the BAF is actually the Phoenix effect itself?
If the earlier rumor of Wolfsbane and the current "leak" of Destiny are true, that's two more off last year's Fwoosh Top 10 list. Angel and Moondragon being two others. Goblin Queen as well if you count the animated style as your interpretation of Madeline.
Just leaves Skurge, Rachel, Crystal, Armored Psylocke and Feral.
I'm thrilled about the Mystique/Destiny pack. I'd love to get a Mystique with double-jointed elbows (provided she's in her iconic duds).
That was the most exciting leak in that list for me.
Warbird and Quicksilver depending on execution are likely buys. Not that it’d work on a retro card, I’d be really suped for this recent Russell Dauterman Pietro redesign (and his sister as well)
@beamish Speaking of Fwoosh Top ten, when will this years be going up, and when will the voting/wish listing actually start?
Interesting that several of the figures are listed as retro carded, but Warbird is not. She'd be perfect for the rumored Avengers Retro Card wave.
Hopefully. 😀@beamish Speaking of Fwoosh Top ten, when will this years be going up, and when will the voting/wish listing actually start?
No idea, but traditionally it's right around this time if I recall correctly.
It would be nice if Wolfsbane and Destiny could be confirmed by Hasbro before the Top 10 vote.
Further rumors from JTprime.
6 Secret Wars Retro card figures.

I almost wonder if "Secret Wars" somehow got mistranscribed into "Strange Tales".

This is possibly intriguing.
Of course there will be some of the big names right off the bat. Since Doom and Captain Marvel (Photon) have already been released in the two pack, I am going to assume we wont see them.
That leaves quite a few options from the original lineup.
Of course I expect to see Captain America, Iron Man, Black Suit Spidey and brown suit Wolverine. Now the question is will they all be part of this initial wave? Or do they have plans for more waves if these sell and maybe they'll spread the big names out among separate waves?
There is only one figures from that initial run that hasn't had a release/update in the past few years and that is Constrictor. I WOULD LOVE IT!!! If they could give us a new Constrictor in this wave.
Also I would love an updated classic red suit Daredevil.
Man-o-man are there a lot of choices, but so many are just going to be reissues basically. I'm sure it won't matter because.......nostalgia. HA!
I guess the Red Widow they've teased is in one of the Avengers waves?
These leaks aren't that exciting to me, either - none of my Must-Haves are getting checked off yet, except for perhaps Retro Xavier - if he's oranged-carded, in his green jumpsuit, then he's exactly what I want. If he's any other versions, he's not.
And I'm shocked none of us predicted Destiny to come with a re-packed Mystique. Of COURSE they'll pull that. That's probably why they switched the VHS Mystique from the pin-less renders on the box to the pinned version inside, just for this next upsell. Hopefully they'll at least do some cool pieces for Mystique's powers, and better heels, to justify - we haven't had a good morphing effect in awhile.
Really hoping for more Gen X.
As a primarily MCU collector, this is looking like a very light year, unfortunately. Cap 4 and Thunderbolts were delayed to next year, so I assume the figures will be too. I’m really excited about MCU Wolverine, but it looks like there won’t be much else I’ll be picking up 🙁
Oh boy.
I'm thrilled they are celebrating Secret Wars, I just hope they finish off the main cast with Titania, Volcana and Beyonder from SWII.
If there are only 6 single card Secret Wars figures, they are all probably going to be based on the original Mattel, all with lenticular shields.
I'd guess:
1. Spidey - black suit
2. Cap - existing buck, different colors, maybe including a mini-Wasp in her Secret Wars costume.
3. Iron Man, additional Tony and Rhodey heads (the original Mattel figure was listed as Rhodey on the cardback, but the lenticular shield had Tony's face)
4. Wolverine - brown suit, which could be the reason there is no brown suit Wolvie in his own anniversary sets.
5. Falcon - Dan hinted at classic Falcon coming about a year ago, and this would make sense as a tie-in to the Cap film, and that the 2 store exclusives so far for the Cap film are not this classic comic version.
6. Daredevil, Kang, Magneto, Zemo or Doc Ock - I can't make up my mind.
We just got SW Doom. Constrictor is rumored to be in a 2-pack with Crossbones.
As for Titania and Volcana, the last two cast members without figures:
I still think there's gonna be a She-Hulk vs. Titania set.
Volcana and Beyonder might show up as Fan Channel releases.
If these 6 figures are strictly based off the comics and not the Mattel line, I'd guess, in their SW costumes:
Spidey - black suit
She-Hulk with a mini-Wasp
Titania
Rogue
Lizard
Either Iron Man or Cap
Fan Channel - Volcana
Fan Channel - Beyonder, probably the armored version
