@enigmaticclarity just a side tidbit, that Hulk had a 'new' head (and chest hair!), but it was the second head shown, I believe, at SDCC the year they showed the AOU wave. When the figure was released, he had only one head. I assume, since Hulk has been a BAF or deluxe since, two heads was too expensive. But it was cool they finally released that head.
Is anyone going today and willing to ask them some questions? I’d like to hear about:
Was the move to less BAF waves intentional? It looks like we’re only getting three this year. They’re doing a lot of retro-style-carded waves even for new stuff like No Way Home and Spider-Verse. Unless I’m forgetting one, the last Spidey BAF wave was Stiltman in early 2021!
It seems like there’s also been a switch to two-packs and packing them with highly demanded figures like Lockjaw or Wong.
Also, are there plans to continue the Spider-Man animated series figures? We really need Chameleon and Vulture at the very least.

@enigmaticclarity He might be the same size height and width of that Hulkbuster (although I think a bit taller), but you add the wings and the tail and he's also going to have more depth than a normal human proportion figure so a big package overall. Plus the exclusive "tax".
I just don't see them bothering for under $100...they got $56 for Blob and Surtur, $70 for Super Adaptoid, Dragon Man seems like a decent step up from them...?
Has anyone asked the team about NWH Electro and Lizard?! ANY update on these two from the con?
I'm honestly fine with the brown Wolvie I have. Not paying $25 just for pinless, though I def. prefer it.
Can double as another X-men 97' Wolverine too. Which it looks to have the rounded claws so that's what I'll defo get that.

So they'll give him pinless but skip the updated torso that Astonishing Wolverine got. For now, at least.
I'll wait for the next one.
Yeah; little darker browns comic style not game style is my pref
That brown and tan Wolverine looks great! I'm gonna need two of them. So, surely that's the one that is Dans favorite he kept hinting at. It's my favorite no matter what.
MCUCollector24 did an interview with the Legends team, and the last question he asked got interesting answers--which MCU figure would you re-do?
- Dwight chose Hela. He said it's because they made her way too tall because they thought she was supposed to be that way, but she ended up being normal-sized in the film.
- Ryan chose Loki from Avengers 1 for obvious reasons--that figure stinks and wasn't even in the right scale for Legends.
- Dan Yun said the Endgame time suits in screen-accurate colors. I didn't even know or perhaps remember that they weren't screen-accurate...
- Dan Rheaume (never seen him with the others before, but they said he's worked on the team for a while and is the "sculpting manager") picked a new set of suited bodies for all of the various body types because he explained they get re-used more than any other sculpt they make.
Didn't notice until just now, but the Legends team did a second version of their product reveals and released the video themselves that is linked below. Don't remember them doing this in past years.
I only noticed one new bit of info--Dwight said that Dragon Man will come with "swappable wings," and he made a point of noting that's new info they didn't mention at the panel. Not sure what that means, exactly--maybe one set of fully-stretched out wings, and another set where they're folded up behind him? Not sure.
