He would need longer arms, hands, feet.

Definitely would need a body built for purpose for Beast - and again a case where a double balljointed torso would be perfect to get the articulation needed on a big bulky body. With the number of human Beast variants available it seems like it could be worth the investment.

Could also be reused for a classic Mimic.

Also, X-Men '97 Beast is a much more smooth depiction of him with tufts only in a few areas, so that body could be re-used for a human Beast without too much new sculpting.

That said, BEAST NEEDS NEW FIGURES!!!! I have one unopened on a Retro card that I very much want to open but I know as soon as I do, they'll announce a new one.

Also, reposting this here for anyone who can't log-in and hasn't seen the workaround: there is a Login link at the bottom of each page under all the tags and ads - use that link instead of the link directly under the thread. The one at the bottom is the one finally working!

Quick - get your posts in before everything dies again!

So I’m thinking I can pass on everything from the latest stream - don’t need the Mystique or Weapon X redos and don’t collect MCU or Gamerverse.

That Hulk… I went into the stream really wanting to want it. And I do appreciate the accessories. The vinyl overlay I’m on the fence for - would have to see it in action a bit. But I kinda hate all the heads that come with this. Looks like I might be able to swap in the head from the Wolverine 2 pack. But then, I could just hang onto that one instead. Might end up springing for this as I’ve not spent on Legends in months, but it’s not the dead cert I was hoping for.

 

Looks like the teases could be for the Capcom tie-in figures, and I’m here for those. Would love, love a really exaggerated Juggernaut with the huge ham hands, as per the game sprite, though I’m guessing they’ll just refit the existing one. But mainly keen to see Shuma Gorath. That’s a definite pick-up in either green or hot pink. Possibly even both…

I am so glad the FF She Hulk is same shade of green as Retro Iron Man one is! I will definitely be using the ponytail head on both of them. Instant preorder. I love everything about the Maximum Hulk-except the three head options. I will likely still get him though. Love the new torso and it seems to crunch forward more in those action shots. I hope we get a Cap in the Maximum line at some point. I doubt I get either Mystique or Weapon X. I'll have to see some reviews first but I am happy with the Walgreens Mystique. The only X-Men Retro card I am interested in is X-Factor Jean. Don't collect Gamerverse or MCU anymore unless I can fudge them in with the comic figures. Overall I like this type of Fan stream. A little something for everyone.

Definitely up for Shulkie.  Madame Masque is tempting too, as I was never able to get the previous one.  Mystique is a maybe.  Jumpsuits Xavier is cool too.

A couple of them look tempting.

Topic starter  

Did the Hasbro Team hint at things to come during the livestream? What do you think?

-Super Villains Wave 2 - during the Madame Masque/Crossbones reveal the guys were talking about how the packaging is a call back to the Super Villains/Bring on the Bad Guys wave. Ryan - "That's a callback to the WAVE", he really emphasized the word 'wave' and Dwight said: "That was our FIRST Super Villain wave?"
This would make sense to me that there is a Fan Channel Super Villains BAF wave on the way since the only comic BAF wave we know about is the X-Men wave. As a Fan Channel and/or Amazon wave, it wouldn't necessarily be rumored/leaked. Last year the Strange Tales wave wasn't among the initial rumors/leaks. It was rumored/leaked separately pretty close to the livestream order date. We knew the name Strange Tales but not who was in it. If there is a wave, this is where Constrictor may have ended up. Pure speculation on my part. A Villain BAF wave could get us 8 more villains (SKURGE, ATTUMA, M'BAKU!!!).
Bring on the Bad Guys!

-Hulk wave on Retro Cards - during the She-Hulk reveal, Dwight - "we've got her on an FF card and we've got her on the Iron Man card, maybe someday we'll actually put her on a Hulk card?" Either Dan or Ryan (can't see their faces) "Maybe, maybe..."
Such an obvious hint of things to come and I love them for it. I bet it happens. 6 Hulk characters - hopefully an updated Doc Samson and finally Zzzax!

Good catch on these, Beamish. I picked up on the Hulk retro card comment for sure. I didn't initially interpret the Bring on the Bad Guys wave comment as a hint - I actually thought it was a genuine mistake when he said "Oh, that was our FIRST villains wave?" and he genuinely thought they'd done multiple. But I think it very well could have been a hint - after all, why bust out the old logo "Super Villains" branding from the Xemnu wave for the 2-pack unless there are other things in the works? Maybe the fact that Ryan could even recall the name "Xemnu" should tell us they were looking into what came before...

For those wondering about the tease at the end, it was for the Marvel vs Capcom figures.

Im thrilled about the black suit Spidey.

Definitely glad to be getting a Madame Masque. (The old one is so outdated)

 

I have a long list of characters in the order I want, that I update and use when I make top 10 lists. The list is mostly filled with never been done characters. Last stream nobody got checked off and this stream just Madame Masque did, who was at like #40. 

Really clamoring for a classic comic wave. The PS4 stuff does nothing for me. Same for MCU, but I totally get that has a huge fanbase.

If I'm being brutally honest the Hulk could have been an engineering Marvel with full pun intended, but it seems like they got sooo far and then decided to give up and copy/paste the rest of the other Hulk, which makes it a partially impressive disappointment.
