Excited to see more AoA figures! I'll pick up all the ones they make - they got me hooked with those first two waves.
Electro's design is an all-time classic and I'm a sucker for new characters, so even though I've not read any stories with Francine Frye Electro here she is more than welcome in my collection. Lady Stilt-Man, when?
I wasn't expecting the detail on Gambit's arms - always happy to have dedicated sculpting where it's called for. It *immediately* reminded me of this look for Cannonball which I've always wanted:
It might not be a perfect match for the padding on the jacket but it could work.
It's funny, I was kind of in a Marvel Legends lull lately - still my biggest collection, just wasn't feeling particularly amped or looking to talk about what's going on lately - but AOA Gambit sent me IMMEDIATELY to this board to see the reaction so I guess what I learned is I REALLY love what Legends has done with AOA. I mean I was a huge fan but apparently all it took was AOA Gambit to bump the line back to the top of my mind.
I really liked Francine in the comics, glad to see her getting a figure. She's a hoot.
That Gambit really looks fantastic and I am not even a huge AoA guy. So much new tooling, the legs are definitely not Vulcan's, not 100% anyway. So much great stuff revealed today 👏
Very interested to see the BAF tomorrow along with Marrow, Husk and then Kaine on the other side of things
That's definitely the AOA Gambit from "Gambit and the Externals" since he had a Rogue-styled cutoff jacket that I kinda prefer him in. No matter, I'll just have to source a decent jacket for him I suppose. Happy to see they did spend time and money on this figure as this was a major want and I'll probably buy 2 if not 3. X-Force Nightcrawler makes me excited for a true AOA Nightcrawler too.
They should give AOA Holocaust/Nemesis an update as a deluxe figure, cause he was already a Build-A-Figure in the early years of Hasbro Marvel Legends. The Build-A-Figures I would like for the new X-Men wave are either AOA Abyss or AOA Mikhail Rasputin.
No denial of non-MCU figures.
Actually his comment is no figures from New MCU Entertainment… that leaves already released MCU Entertainment open…. Where the heck are my remaining No Way Home Rogues Mr. Yun?! I’m a little hopeful there’s a Hasbro Pukse exclusive Lizard and Electro two pack… could be some sneaky exclusives to pop up in the stream. Fingers crossed…
Francine is awesome! Here’s hoping for Carolyn some time. The Sinister Syndicate is a crazy group like Friends but they’re bad guys.
AoA Gambit! Hot damn!
Thwipp!

Holocaust is a definite want of mine, as the showdown between him and Sabretooth and link was among my favorite issues. I would like at least Sinister as far as Horsemen go, but Abyss would be great as well. If we get Mikhail great, but if not it wont be the end of the world for me. What I would really like is the ability to army build Infinite soldiers for the display around Apocalypse. If they did a 2pk of a Madri (Jamie Madrox multiples/cultists), and an Infinite Soldier it might even take care of 2 army builders in the wave that aren't the giant green/grey sentinels.
a little late to the party but if the new rumors are true I am beyond excited!
I always loved She-Hulk in the FF uniform; Medusa is my favorite Inhuman so a redo of her to go with the gorgeous Crystal is amazing news; Deathbird! I just adore her! she'll be a gorgeous gorgeous figure if done with the same amount of love they gave to Lady Mandarin Psylocke! And Rachel! finally! welcome butch queen!
Love this new Gambit. So handsome. I don't collect AOA but feel tempted to start just because of him. Although I only will do it if they release AOA Storm. So nevermind what I said.
Excited for tomorrow! Happy that there won't be any MCU announcements! I'm praying it will be X-Men heavy!
All of Fabian, Spider-Boy, AOA Gambit and female Electro are definite purchases for me. Hopefully they show the rest of the X-Men and Spider-Man waves tomorrow. I expect to buy everything except for X-Factor Cyclops and X-Force Nightcrawler (unless they come with parts for a BAF that I really want, but they're probably both retro card waves).
Happy that there won't be any MCU announcements!
Yeah, we already had plenty of MCU releases this year as it is. No need for us to get any joy.
You take your 4 releases and be grateful for them! Joking aside, am I crazy to read that as a very specific qualifier? Seems like previous MCU projects are fair game. Plus, Dan used Tobey as a tease the other day - no way he does that so carelessly while knowing how fervently people want more NWH figures.

Well... to be honest, I really love the two MCU figures I bought this year. Last month. but I agree about how specific he was. I won't be at all surprised if it's meant to be taken at face value, but maybe some NWH figures, or some stuff from older D+ shows. Or some non-MCU Fox figures? Those would all make sense, but I don't expect any of them.
