I hated the leaked lists from a few weeks ago, but this is a totally different story. Legends had a really strong 2024 and this looks even better to me, plus we know there's stuff not on this list.
Fabian Cortez and Kaine are both longstanding Wants of mine 😀 Awesome! Unfortunately from looking at comics we can't get an Acolyte set simply with alternate heads, but it's a start and welcome. I wonder if DMB just assumed Xavier has the chair? I want the Shiar version and Dwight alluded to it. It would make more sense if it's based on the cartoon. Cable, Morph, Sunspot, Beast etc. would be, better be, Wave 3 - Grant Morrison's suits wouldn't be for a while. That's not how manufacturing works.
Hell yes to Battle-Damaged Spider-man!! And Agent Venom and Anti-Venom make me happy. Hasbro's figures are much better now than the originals and those weren't even bad. This might finally be the year I buy a bunch of Spider-man again. Looking forward to all this. No thanks to movie and video games, but glad people dig those. I hope for a Generation X team sometime soonish.
More Iron Man waves are welcome, but won't be impressed until a bulky Titanium Man is done. Maybe like Dragon Man
I'm in for the X-Factor and X-Force figures, Husk, Cortez, Banshee, Moonstone, and MvC Psylocke if she's on the new double-jointed body.
I'm excited for Adam, but I hope "classic" means 70s Starlin, and not Infinity Gauntlet. The latter would make for a really boring figure.
Here's to hoping this "MVC" subline prompts Jada to make a Capcom All Stars line.
I'll pick up a lot of the comic stuff (especially all the never-been-made-before X-Men), and I know this is only a fraction of what we'll see in 2025, but the lack of any Avengers and Avengers villains outside of Dark Avengers Moonstone, Mandarin and yet another USAgent could be concerning.
When Dan Who? Reviews was soliciting questions for his Dan Yun interview, this was one of the questions: "A rumor I heard is that at SDCC Dan said Hasbro is gonna cut back on Avengers-specific releases because of poor Avengers 60th anniversary sales. Is this true?"
I hope not.
Hopefully ROM and Adam Warlock are in a cosmic BAF wave together.
As for the other leaks, I hope Slyde, Princess Python and Hypno-Hustler are real.
Jean Grey - green and yellow
Cyclops - bue and white
Hahaha! They absolutely would, wouldn't they.
@protozoalord Yeah; its 70s Starlin Adam Warlock or its a no buy from me.
That's a lot of skipped X adjacent and Spider characters for me. Minus a few of course. Mystique on the Black Widow body and classic Banshee being pretty quick purchases.
2025 might be Avengers light with the expectation of 2026 & 27 being Avengers heavy.
He mentioned Shuma-Gorath and Juggernaut in the video, but from my understanding not as characters on his leak list, but characters that would finish off the Capcom series.
Shuma-Gorath is pretty small in the game, correct, basically human height?
I hope they consider making a Shuma under the Dragon Man model so it could be decent sized. From a design standpoint, that each tentacle can be the same part means the tooling, paint apps and so on might not be as prohibitive as it might seem to produce.
Seems like a whole lot of redos and repaints to me. Sure I'd like Constrictor, but I don't want another Crossbones. Gonna play the waiting game on that one.
The only must haves for me are Mandarin and green Banshee.
Not loving the MCU side is showing only Daredevil and Punisher. I am hoping we get more D+ figures than just those ones. I am perfectly okay with not getting waves and timing the figures for the shows and such, but I still want to get the same figure number over the course of time. And again, there are make up figures from other shows and movies I want. But I will no doubt buy Daredevil and Punisher.
Black Suit Tobey is also an instant purchase
So, Constrictor and Crossbones got bumped to next year. 🙁
I would be over the moon if they released the Green/Yellow Banshee with a classic Siryn as a Father's Day 2-pack with screaming/non-screaming heads for both.
I somehow missed black suit Tobey Spider-Man and PS4 Black Cat. Two more insta-buys. Hopefully they resculpt the chest emblem though. The majority of the NWH Tobey figure could be reused, but the the symbiote suit has a different symbol.
2025 might be Avengers light with the expectation of 2026 & 27 being Avengers heavy.
Exactly what I was thinking. Hasbro's saving the Assemblers for Doomsday and Secret Wars.
As far as the Avengers not selling well, I don't know. Giant-Man did pretty darn well, yeah?
I think it's important to note that the only time the general public has access to sales figures is for the Haslabs. Anytime you hear anyone other than a Hasbro employee discussing sales you need to bear in mind that it's just sheer speculation. And that's all it is. Take it with a pound of salt.
Displaying Model Behavior's previous "rumor/leak" list from August 10 had a lot of the same X-Men related figures as in today's video, but these are missing:
Xavier in green jumpsuit (re-using WCA Pym in red jumpsuit)
BAF - "a new BAF with a comic spinner rack and have little plastic comics with QR codes to redeem a real digital comic."
Avengers in 2026 and 2027 would likely be movie looks. So I can see comic Avengers in 2025. But you can’t have a focus on them every year. Plenty of other parts of the Marvel universe to get some attention.
