It will be cool to get the rest of the Astonishing X-Men this year, potentially. I hope that Deadpool wave isn't accurate in replacing Gambit and Elektra with a Deadpool variant and another Wolverine. That would be a shame. Getting an official sleeveless and damaged up Wolverine would be cool, but not at the cost of characters we didn't already get.
There are 2 possible Punisher releases in 2025 which could see the new 2-pack War Journal body classically repainted - I really hope this isn't in another multipack. I'll want a couple.
A Secret Wars Daredevil on the RYV body with some varied reds would tide me over until the inevitable Maximum release. Finally in a single pack! Not sure which Spider-Man I'd like to see - classic red/blue on the body they used for Symbiote would be great... at least it would have been until they released the Maximum Spider-Man. Now all Spideys should just be on that body. It will seem very underwhelming by comparison.
A lot to be excited for in 2025. Just not the prices.
Mention of a Hulk line is very exciting, as there's a bunch of supporting characters that badly need some attention (even if the number of actual Hulk-scaled sluggers presumably won't be great). And If Secret Wars gets us a proper classic deco Falcon and a better Constrictor, then that's awesome.
Never mind all that though. The Spidey villains reveals are where I'm at. Owl, Cardiac and Hypno goddamn Hustler? Take all my money Hasbro. (And the way the world is going, you may need to...)
A few things:
-I was going to add the new info to the front page, but I don't have an edit function on that initial post anymore. I was able to edit it recently after the last livestream. What happened to that edit function?
-Owl? Oh heck yes! One of the most outstanding missing characters will hopefully be a leak and not a rumor.
-The Deadpool wave is noticeably different from the existing rumor/leak, so which one is accurate? Are either of them real?
-The "unknown" Secret Wars figure should of course be Volcana to complete the original series cast, but knowing Hasbro's track record of stringing us along and rarely completing things, it'll probably be Venom or Doctor Voodoo.
-And of course, outside of (hopefully classic) Falcon, there are still no new classic Avengers or villains. Which just SUCKS.
@beamish Would be insane if the Falcon weren’t classic or another close but no cigar Falcons.
So many leaks, so little new characters:(
Kitty is always welcome

It'll probably be a Falcon/Venom hybrid or Doctor Voodoo with Falcon wings...
For me the only two Falcon costumes that are acceptable at this point are the classic red and white 1970s costume we all want and his original green costume.
Interesting. I love that a second Secret Wars wave is now more than just me wishlisting... The list of characters isn't surprising. Falcon, Daredevil and Black Costume Spidey are no-brainers. Constrictor makes sense - especially since he isn't in the 2-pack with Crossbones. Absorbing Man also makes sense. They got FF She-Hulk out already. I hope black costume Thing gets a release somehow too. So I hope Volcana gets that last spot.
And super stoked about Owl and Cardiac... those are two I have wanted for quite awhile. Hypno Hustler is an outrageous choice that should be fun... even if I wish it were Will O' the Wisp...
The Kitty/Colossus two pack is a good way to get their Astonishing looks out of the way in one fell swoop. If it's not astonishing, I'd like to see something classic, like Colossus' red/white lined costume.

Yeah. I'd put red/white on the Avengers shelf and green/gold on the Cap shelf.

A lot of forum settings apparently got reset to default in the last upheaval. You should be able to edit now.
Pleaaaaase let that Deadpool wave be legit.
Also Astonishing Kitty and Colossus would be amazing. We just need Beast and Armor now.
Also yes! Uncanny Spider-Man is another off my top 10.
There were no female characters in the Secret Wars leak...not that those are ever a given but maybe that bodes well for Volcana? Wasp in her purple and green SW costume would be cool too but seems pretty unlikely.
Excited about the Spidey villains but I reeeeeeeaaaaally hope Owl and Hypno-Hustler are in classic looks. Disappointing if they're in modern costumes. Awesome about Cardiac!
Astonishing Colossus and Kitty are necessary, and MCU Cassandra Nova might be able to double for a comic version. Abomination is a maybe; I'd prefer him to be a slightly brighter green than past figures.
