I very rarely see anything worthwhile at my local Target, let alone something like the Professor here. Haven't ever seen Warbird. So I'm not holding out much hope.
Setting of expectations: yo tomorrow we’ll have 1 movie item & the rest are comic based. We’ll be revealing some new initiatives! Hoping we fill some slots that fans have been waiting for. I’m sure not everything will be for everyone. But thank you always for your collecting.
Electro maybe?
Wonder what the initiatives are. Maybe the mini-comic wave?

Same. "Target exclusive" is practically synonymous with "Ebay exclusive" for me. My one and only Target never has anything worth the drive.

@hbhfback already posted, just including the link. Happy to hear there will be comic reveals, new initiatives, and especially filling some slots. Excited to see what they're got for us.
Nearly all comic tempers expectations? The exact opposite!

Probably that or the "ultimate" Spider-Man and Hulk figures from the leak. I would think the mini-comic wave would be revealed either way though, since Rom is supposed to be part of it and after 6 months they still haven't officially revealed how or when he's being released. It's time.
Holy shit more comic stuff! I thought this stream would be a pass for me since I pre-ordered (or will soon) both waves from Dec. 6. But damn. So what exactly is an initiative?? Like an unwritten rule they're completing teams?? Or a program? I'm thinking we might actually see the Ultimates line with Hulk and Spidey which also makes sense because Dan teased Spider-man.
Pretty great. Maybe some Inhumans. Sidebar, Professor X was pre-sold out when I checked my App today. I will have to venture into a store again....
Initiatives? Avengers Initiative? SLAPSTICK IMMINENT.
Clearly the new initiative is complete teams before 12/31/25 and McFarlane takes the license.

Completing teams should be happening anyway, honestly.
I wouldn't be shocked if Hasbro just wants out, but I'm done if the line goes to someone like McFarlane. HATE them. I've been collecting this line for more than 20 years and have at least one version of every character that Hasbro or Toy Biz has ever done, but maybe it's just time to walk away.
Zero interest in the MCU Electro. I'll likely buy the whole mini-comic wave if it matches what was leaked. Ironically the Banshee is the figure that I have the least interest in but I know that lots of others want it.
I have mixed feelings on the "Ultimate" versions of characters with all of the accessories. I'm not someone who really cares about a lot of that. I usually just leave my figures with one head and set of hands and rarely ever swap anything out, so all of that extra stuff usually ends up in a bin never to be seen again. On one hand I feel like this is what they should have been doing all along. On the other hand I kind of still know that there will still be a new/different definitive version of these characters again within 2 years, which always drives me crazy no matter what. The price tag and level of improvement/detail on the base figures will probably be what drives my decision to buy or not.

I get it - I had a lot of frustration with Warbird initially because I missed out on the online order window - drove to alot of Target stores in a pretty wide footprint looking for her, before I eventually got her. And then of course saw her a couple more times when I no longer needed her. Not sure if this Professor X will be quite as popular as that Carol figure, some Target exclusives are harder to find than others.
@derrabbi And what a perfect time to get out of Marvel figure collecting if that happens. Not a fan of McFarlane's stuff.
Happy for comic heavy news tomorrow - that plays in my favor. I do hope it's the Rom wave because I am eager for that.
I honestly just don't believe Hasbro is getting out of the Marvel figure game... but McFarlane Marvel figures is where I get off the ride.
So... if Born Again is a smash hit on Disney+ in addition to MCU figures it could inspire is there a chance it could influence a few extra Daredevil characters into the line?
Owl, Mr. Fear, Gladiator (Melvin Potter), White Tiger (Hector), Muse...
I'm not overly interested in beating the same well worn path of Bullseye, Elektra, Kingpin, Hand, lather, rinse repeat... but I would love for renewed interest in Daredevil to inspire a few additional character adds to the Marvel Legends selection.
Pulse just sent notice that the updated shipping date for Karla Sofen Ms Marvel is January 17. Now, Pulse been sending these notices out repeatedly for a lot of my orders, giving me estimated dates that have already passed by weeks, so I'm taking this with a grain of salt. But those same figures have eventually shipped. So this chick could be coming a lot sooner than I expected.
I'm guessing tomorrows reveals will be:
MCU Electro
Mini Comic Wave - ROM, Banshee, etc.
One of the two rumored Inhumans 2-packs
Something that hasn't been rumored/leaked
