Yeah. I don’t even remember all 6 of the rumor but I do remember thinking well that’s a pass
I'm definitely in for Spider-Boy. Chameleon, 90s Kaine and Female Electro would all be definite purchases for me as well. Spider-Man Ultimate and a new Miles would be just maybes, but more likely than not. I believe that's the rumored wave but I'd absolutely buy Slyde, Hypno Hustler and Princess Python if they were to be made also.
From the X-Men side, I believe the rumored wave is Fabian Cortez, Husk, Marrow, X-Factor Cyclops, X-Force Nightcrawler and X-Factor Jean? If so, I'm in for the first 3 and have no real interest in the latter 3. It's possible that the X-Factor Jean and Scott are actually supposed to be a 2-pack instead. There are also supposed to be X-Force Wapath, X-23 and Archangel plus I believe straight re-issues of the Strong Guy BAF as a deluxe and the Havok/Polaris X-Factor 2-pack. I'd probably skip all of those except maybe Strong Guy and possibly Warpath/X-23. There's supposed to be a green and yellow Banshee coming but I believe that it's rumored to be in the ROM wave with the BAF comic spinner and mini-comics. Banshee is rumored to come with a digital Giant Size X-Men #1 if I remember correctly. There's also supposed to be an X-Men '97 Wave 3 with a deluxe Storm.
I think that all of those are rumored to be released during Q1 2025, which would be a very busy first quarter. The exception is the mention of Slyde, Hypno Hustler and Princess Python which I no longer to believe to be legit.
Yeah Marrow is coming. I'm salty some old 5" Toy Biz figures like Maggot were never made.

Toy Biz! I'll dig up a pic later. There was a wicked cool Techno Organic Cable figure they shelved too. Toy Biz was fun, the best at times. I found a Dark Aegis proto on ebay that never saw release either. Only $1000 🤣
I don't think X-Factor Jean is in that wave. I'm not sure she was leaked for the year. AoA Gambit is in that wave then of course the obligatory Wolverine is the Ultimate Universe version. The BAF is like the best in a long time or so we've heard lol

The first leak was:
Spider-Boy, who we're actually getting
Princess Python
Hypno-Hustler
Slyde
Spider-Man (Bug Eyes Armor)
Arachnoman
Sorry to swing it back to political stuff, but Musk made Hasbro's stock climb some
Dan Yun seems to be hinting the end of year show will be this coming week (on his Bluesky, not X)

Would be a nightmare for collectors and Hasbro employees if he bought Hasbro.
Yeah, really hoping that doesn't happen

I can't speak for the collector standpoint because it hasn't happened. As for the employees.....if you look at how many and how often they are laying off people right now, could it be much worse for them?

Yes, he’s a monster for a boss. Makes people sleep in the office, and have to sue for promised severance when he eventually lays them off. Just a total old school robber baron bully.
He's also made at least one major project way worse with his involvement (Twitter), and a political radical; could absolutely see Disney not wanting to partner with a Musk-owned Hasbro to license their IP.

Nope. Most likely he will fire some people and the company will continue to operate as if nothing happened. Hasbro already firing people left and right and nothing changes. It's really bad. I haven't seen any big toy company do that. Even Mattel is not that awful. When Hasbro fire a bunch of people, "HasBros" don't care. Wasn't until Musk made some joke on Twitter that they woke up. "Oh, no, what's gonna happen to my precious toys?!" That's the first thing I saw. Not - "this is bad, he'll fire a bunch of people". Let's be honest, most of them don't care.
As for Musk...there are a lot stupid people who believe in every shitpost he makes. Like...it's not going to happened, guys.
worse
It already was bad and political before he bought it. I was there almost from the beginning.
There's a lot I could say about Musk, but I'll condense my essay to a single sentence: I think he's the single most abhorrent public figure. (Yes, I'm aware of the other choice. Musk is clear-eyed about what he wants to achieve while the other is a buffoon.)
