As a MCU guy, great panel. Wolverine and Colossus are instant buys, and OUTRIDERS!!! Getting several of them
Punisher War Journal (1988)But what is this costume? It's been a LONG time since I read Punisher War Journal, but I don't remember this look for Frank.
Ok I guess I did misremember. Maybe a good reason to re-read PWJ. Thanks, Aleks! Would still prefer the classic costume, but at least this makes sense now.
I wonder if they''re gonna release Fin Fang Foom as a pre-order like Dragon man, it should be as big as the Build-A-Figure.
To be honest, I had a feeling that Bushwacker was gonna be made this year, simply because of all of the anniversaries of his enemies. DD's 60th, and both Wolverine and Punisher's 50th. 😀 It just seemed inevitable that he'd be made this year.
@yojoebro82 Funny, I want Bushwacker but not Punisher. Maybe both will be easy to get individually on the aftermarket?
Lockjaw. Finally. However...I'm disappointed in him. Lack of knees is one thing, but I just don't like the face. I know his look has evolved over the years and he's often portrayed as just a giant bulldog, but I think of this image for Lockjaw. Something doglike but not exactly a dog.

Dragon Man looks incredible. I didn't listen to the panel (yet), but I'm curious how this crowdfunding will work. Assuming he'll be Pulse exclusive and they'll need a certain number of preorders to move forward. Which sounds just like Haslab but with a lower pricepoint. Guess I need to listen to the panel to see if details are discussed.
ROM! Fantastic news and looking figure. Finally a ROM toy which can bend its elbows and knees.
Man, not much I feel like I needed or wanted out of the reveals. I definitely want the green Quicksilver and Sentinel Arcade 2 Pack since I get all the X-Men stuff. And I will probably get Punisher/Bushwhacker. But that's about it.
Half tempted to get my hands on an InHumans Crystal figure, remove the black paint on the hair and use her head for a proper X-Force Siryn, but then I remember that Crystal is X-Men adjacent in being married to Quicksilver, so time will tell what's to be done with her.
Holy hell. That was a killer line-up. Only a few movie figures and nothing X is right up my wish street. Love Lockjaw and Crystal - really feels like it’ll tip the Inhumans collection from just a few random figures to a near complete set. Really like the interchangeable options for Lockjaw.
The other multi-packs. Hmm, Hasbro. The ‘buy a figure you already have’ tax is still being levied. I want Wong (a lot) and Bushwacker (a bit), but I have no need for their friends. At least there’s some other fun stuff packed in too.
They saved the best till last though. Finally the pain of missing FFC Dragon Man fades - this is so much better. Incredible sculpt and appropriately massive.
And ROM too? Insane stuff. Can’t wait to pick him up.
I was expecting to see some Secret War figures and to be mildly underwhelmed. Neither thing happened!
@ashtalon No minimum backer number or stretch goals for Dragon Man, just made-to-order in a specific pre-order window.
A nice lineup of new figures!
My only disappointment was the lack of knee articulation on Lockjaw. WTF? Why would they even do that since it forced them to include to entirely separate rear legs so he can sit when articulated knees would have achieved that without including separate pieces? It's particularly confounding given that they JUST released one of the best articulated animals to date in Zabu.
Guess I'm glad I already have the Mezco Lockjaw. I figured the Legends version would eventually replace him with better articulation, but nope, the Mezco is better from what I can tell so far.
So I’m excited about many of these figures — particularly Lockjaw, Dragon Man, Deadpool movie Colossus, and the video game Sentinels — but it feels like an underwhelming showing without having a single BAF wave.
Guess the Blackheart wave is the last BAF wave of the year. If that’s the case, that means there are only three BAF waves for 2024 — the Void, Zabu, and Blackheart. That’s a huge decrease from prior years.
It also seems like number of releases is down noticeably year over year. Not sure if any has complete data and could do a comparison.
Colossus looks incredible. Cannot wait. Also glad they acknowledged the lack of MCU army builders when they revealed the Outriders. Hopefully we get some Chitauri.
Love love LOVE that Dragon Man comes with the Future Foundation glasses and books!
So at the movie waiting for the end-credit scene and I hop on Facebook. First thing I see is Lockjaw/Crystal and think about how many happy collectors there are right now.
Then I see ROM and my instant thought was IBMMT nutted. Hard.
Then it's Punisher and I'm thinking about how many collectors are going "I thought he couldn't be made any longer" and laughed.
Then... Dragon Man! I almost did an IBMMT at the movie theater. WOW!
Wonder if the legs on Wong could get reused for Red Ghost?
I was actually thinking his arms might be good for a classic Shang-Chi.
