2024 Rumored Leak List

I definitely would prefer a comic book Mandarin before a cartoon based Mandarin.    My shelf is comic book based looks and a green skinned Mandarin doesn't even fit with those guys.    I wouldn't have a place to put him in the display.    We'll probably get one eventually,  nostalgia for the toons being what it is... but I really hope they give me a good Mandarin I can put on the shelf with all my other comic based figures first.

Like I always say, they should do cartoon 90s Mandarin and include both green and normal-flesh colored hands/head, easy peasy. 

Personally, I keep hoping for the Acts of Vengeance armored Mandarin. But I'll be honest in saying that I also have a soft spot for the crime boss trenchcoat and suit Mandarin as well.

I agree this is one of the best looks for the character -  even if he only used it for that storyline.    They should bring it back.

I think China has a much deeper history than Japan.  They were likely wearing armor before Japan.

Hey, those are fighting words! (I’m half Japanese and my wife is half Chinese!). 

Anyway, I think Mandarin’s costume just looks like stylized Chinese armor. Check out some Chinese films like Hero or The Great Wall to see some stylized Chinese armors

And they can justify a $7 "deluxe" upcharge...

Who am I kidding... they would never give us a $32 deluxe figure when they could charge us for two $25 figures.

:::applauds:::

1000 times this.

Here's the remainder of the 2024 leaks:

Secret Wars wave

Dan's favorite Wolverine

Venom & Carnage set

Dwight's Most Epic BAF wave - could be 2024 or 2025

Seems likely all of this has been moved to 2025:

Crossbones/Constrictor 2-pack

Brave New World Deluxe Figure #1

Brave New World Deluxe Figure #2

Brave New World Deluxe Figure #3

Brave New World wave

Thunderbolts wave

The Leader

Red Hulk - deluxe figure (possibly the comic re-release)

I'm thinking that "Venom & Carnage set" is off the list. 

We got individual releases of Sony Venom and Carnage, and retro release of cartoon Venom and Carnage.

Either of those duos could have been originally planned as a two-pack.

And, after all those symbiotes, would they really release another two-pack?

So I'm thinking that they basically released that "set," just not as a set.
