For page 61 - back to Legends.
So, my understanding is there's another Fanstream of some kind coming up to close the year out, and we're all presuming it's a retro-carded Spidey wave, yes? Due to not-the-far-superior-Amalgam-Comics Spider-Boy's reveal?
Why exactly don't Star Wars figures come with extra swappable hands again?
Same reason SW in general has a dearth of accessories, there's almost no reuse of sculpts except for Imperials.
I'd think they could include various expressions of hands though, given how many lightsaber clutching hands we get and nothing else. Obi Wan's incapable of doing most of the more expressive poses he was depicted in during much of the prequel trilogy as a result. They're willing to sculp I dunno how much plastic trash for Jawas, cups for Bib Fortuna, and musical instruments for the Modal Nodes. I never though I'd be pleading my case for hand reuse!
I thought that someone asked the creator about that, and his response was "What? I've never heard that before, they can do whatever they want with him."
Welp, there you go. Let's fast track that Cardiac figure.
I gave up. Would love the figure. We see so many Spider-man figures - they're usually just Spider-man and/or whatever they can make easily on simple bodies. This year they actually kicked ass again, but waiting on Spider-man to get what he deserves. Maybe we see some great reveals soon, given the number of cool looking characters at Marvel I should be buying an awful lot more figures.
@thor-el I could see it including both Spider-Man and/or X-Men related figures. There's widely expected to be a wave of each to come during the first quarter of 2025.
Either way, savings for me. Provided the rumors are true, Spider-Man Unlimited is the only figure I'd be interested in, unless the Hypno Hustler, Princess Python, and Slyde turn out to be fact as well.

That would be awesome if they would reveal both waves during the upcoming fanstream, but it'll be a limited time frame with:
-Ryan recapping everything we already have or what we already know which always takes up a lot of time.
-Their annual favorite figure draft which also takes up a lot of time.
I think they'll reveal the Spidey wave, Marrow in the X BAF wave (hence the recent tease) and the final version of ROM.
There was a Marrow tease? Where was this? Hope it’s the m vs c 2 version of her.
@mattprince7 I believe it was NYCC. They showed a 3d render of what looked like a little bone shard.
It was this.
The guesses were either Marrow or a new Rhino, and since the former is in the leaks for next year AND we know Hasbro is doing figures to celebrate the recent MVC collection, it’s likely for her.
Yeah Marrow is coming. I'm salty some old 5" Toy Biz figures like Maggot were never made.
In any case when is this stream?? I remember seeing the draft, which is Meh, but hope we see 2 waves. I think Beamish is probably right - Spidey wave then maybe a tease or outright reveal of a couple other characters with waves to come soon.

Please let the Princess Python rumor be real.
QF goddamn T
In the latest iteration of the rumour this wave is a full pass for me - only the lady Electro would be a maybe, and that mostly for the sake of it. Spider-Boy and the various Spidey variants are easy misses.
But… Sub in Princess P, Slyde and Hypno Hustler and this wave kicks all the way into gear. At that point I’d probably even pick up a few duds as well to get a good BAF.
