I know it's a month and a half away, but I'm going this year and I'm already excited!
What do you predict?
What questions do you have?
I predict:
1) Any Deadpool Wave figures/product not already revealed by then will be revealed.
2) The rumored Avengers Retro Card wave will be revealed at the panel to coincide with Giant-Man shipping with at least the following characters:
3) A rumored Secret Wars Retro Card wave reveal, with the full wave revealed at NYCC:
4) An X-Men '97 reveal for 2025:
5) A Cap: Brave New World wave reveal for 2025:
6) Infinity Saga continuation reveals:
7) The "surprise" out of left field reveal, like Crystar last year will be:
As for questions, I plan on asking:
1) Since the "film vs comic IP confusion" problem seems to be breaking down a bit, what does that mean for the future of the "missing" comic versions: Mantis, Skurge, Attuma, M'Baku, Wong, Nebula, America Chavez, Baron Mordo, etc.
2) 2025 is the 60th anniversary of The Inhumans and Warriors Three. Any hints if we'll see any of them?
3) Is there a plan to update all of the ToyBiz figures, and if so... WHERE ARE THE MONSTERS?
4) Is the future of BAF waves gonna be themed waves or a hodgepodge like the Zabu wave?
As for a Fwoosh meet up, I'll only be going the day of the panel, once it's revealed, and it would be fun to meet in person!
Beamish... you're to be there? We should definitely meet up at some point. I'd love to buy you a beer to thank you for all the work you put in on the One A Day thread.

That is so COOL! I will be there too. I haven't missed one of these things in over 40 years and that streak ain't about to end now. I'll keep going as long as I'm physically able.
When we get closer to the event I'll message you my phone number. We can tag team Dwight, Dan and Ryan in the Hasbro booth. It's so awesome that you're going.
And it goes without saying that I hope all your predictions come true, especially Falcon. The Toybiz figure needs to be retired. We need a better Yellowjacket, too.
Now if only we can talk @ru1977 into going. He needs to see Deadpool and Wolverine surrounded by the comic con crowd.
It's going to be a great show this year. Can't wait!
@sdcomics Ah man, I forgot about that Deadpool & Wolverine idea. Okay, look, if I don't get there this summer (which I probably won't be able to make it happen), I absolutely need to get my kids down there for 2025. They've been to Long Beach and Anaheim cons, but not since they were little, and of course nothing (in my mind, anyway) compares to THE Comic Con.
It'll be the summer of Fantastic Four!
It'll be the summer of Fantastic Four!
Holy Spit! You just made me realize something. The FF's release date is July 25, 2025. That's no doubt going to be right during Comic-Con.
First Deadpool & Wolverine, and now Fantastic Four. Is Marvel Studios doing this on purpose? If so, it's bloody brilliant. Throw one hell of a party for the tribe while the tribe is gathered.
2025 is going to be amazing. Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts (Which I still think is going to be Dark Avengers), Fantastic Four and Blade (Possibly). And an Untitled Sony Marvel movie (Which very few people are going to care about, but may be worth mentioning). On the DC side, The Batman 2 and Superman.
Think of the TOYS.
I keep telling you, bro. You NEED to start saving your money. And that's no joke.
And I forgot all about the Disney + and Max TV shows. Daredevil, Agatha, Ironheart, Vision and Wonderman on Disney. And Green Lantern on Max.
Yes. There will be toys.
And plenty to talk about in Hall H.

Exactly! It's gonna be huge. I really hope 2025 is a massive comeback year, and like you pointed out, not just for Marvel. There BETTER be toys.
@beamish - If you're asking questions, these are 4 that I would ask:
1. Several classic and/or popular characters have been very hard to find, such as Venom being sold separately as an exclusive twice, Spider-Man from his animated series being sold a Wal-Mart exclusive, Warbird selling out almost immediately on Target's website, and Doc Ock only being sold in two-packs in recent releases. Does Hasbro plan to make more non-exclusive, easier-to-find figures of popular, long-requested characters in the future to address collector concerns?
2. With movies being delayed or reshot and now new live-action and animated series being reduced due to recent changes Marvel Studios, does Hasbro have plans to make more substitution waves of comic book characters or previous Marvel films and TV series to fill the places of movies in case of delays?
3. 2026 is the 30th anniversary of "The Incredible Hulk" animated series and Hulk has not had many toylines in recent years. Could we see a Retro The Incredible Hulk wave, or at least more new figures of more Hulk figures and of Hulk's enemies, in either 2026 or in the future?
4. With Hasbro wanting to make more figures of characters from teams for fans to complete their teams, could we see more figures of heroes and villains from teams in future Marvel Legends waves, such as Overdrive from "Superior Foes", Armani suit Doctor Octopus for the Sinister Six, any of the original Generation X team, and/or any of the original X-Factor team as examples?
To those who do go to SDCC, have fun!

If not, followup question...
But seriously, delays are kinda to be expected right? Are we in the figure business or not?
If we are posting questions, this is my main question:
The most recent Infinity Saga wave and the Legacy lines have been repaints or reissues of older figures. Is there any previously unmade characters from the Infinity Saga coming in the near future? Is the sublime continuing, and if it is is it going to continue to be utilized exclusively for repaints and reissues like the most recent offerings?
If someone wants to clean up phrasing or ask in their own words, I would appreciate it
I'm not going to SDCC this year but I'm in the LA area. it's a 4 hour drive but I'd be into a Fwoosh meet-up in San Diego if that happens.
