Soccer Spider-Man is SO good. Just a straight up dude in a soccer outfit plus Spider-Man mask and gloves. Epic.
But that Spider-Man Adventure Hero line is pure comedy gold:
Safari Spider-Man
Extreme Sports Spider-Man
Beach Spider-Man
Bungee Jump Spider-Man
Astronaut Spider-Man
Deep Sea Spider-Man

I don't think Havok / Polaris are a part of the X-Men 97 wave. Previous to this last round of "leaks" they were mentioned as their own thing and as coming together, like the old 2pk did. Maybe they're updated in some way, or maybe there's straight re-releases for people wanting to build X-Factor, but I doubt they'll have done much to improve on the StrongGuy BAF if it's seeing rerelease (maybe additional hands or something), and that's supposedly coming this year.
The first "leak" wave of X-Men 97 made more sense logically anyway, given who was mentioned as part of it. Emma was the lone "barely there" cameo figure, and if they're going the Morrison costume route at some point in the second season, would make sense why a character that didn't do much would be receiving a figure etc.
Personally I'd rather they did a tuxedo Gambit, but I digress.
I could totally see them doing a straight reissue of the Havok & Polaris 2 pack, though I don't think any of those random reissues have ever been on leak lists, have they?
Wasn't Mecha Hulk something ToyBiz made up?
That specific design was from ToyBiz but there is an actual robot Hulk character as well.

I have both the original Toy Biz Mecha Hulk (that came with Gremlin) and the Marvel Select Hulk that came with the Cosmic Hulk alternate head. I love them both for different reasons! If Hasbro does something like this I hope it's original and not just a repeat or re-tread of either of those.
If it is the Cosmic Hulk robot then I hope they add at least a robotic arm and chest plate unlike the Marvel Select which was basically just an alternate head.
I prefer the original Toybiz Mecha-Hulk be updated for Marvel Legends.

One of the leaks, I believe from last year, was for Professor X in a hoverchair. Many assumed it would be a more blocky animated style chair and figured it was an X-Men 97 version of Prof. X. It ended up just being a straight reissue.
Walgreens Magik was leaked to be a reissue, but it wasn't listed with a host of others someone just said it was getting reissued. The Walgreens Silver Surfer just dropped with no warning randomly one day, beyond us being told Hasbro was considering reissuing certain figures earlier in the year, without saying who or when to expect them.
I'm fine with the Polaris I have, but I will admit if they fixed Havok's lack of glove cuffs and keyed in his leg straps it would be a definite improvement. I still love the face sculpt and everything else Mayshelf put into that figure.
Above all else, what I really want is the reissue of Retro card Beast with the coat we were promised. I actually had one through BBTS and then Hasbro cancelled on that.
A little late to the party but:
Many unexpected rumors for the upcoming Legends right? Still no Feral, no Hepzibah...dommage.
I bet that this new X-Men 97 wave will be wave 1 for season 2. And the previous one rumored with Cable, Emma, Jubes etc will be wave 3 for season 1.
But of course I am more than stocked for Psylocke to be appearing again in a rumor list!!! I sure do hope though that it will finally be Betsy in her original body. Outback is the most logical choice, but I would be more than ok with it being her puffy sleeves costumes and over the moon if it turned out to be her Disassembled look, my most wanted action figure ever!
I would be super angry though if it's just a repaint of her ninja costume in black or worse, the new Kwannon costume. Don't get me wrong, I love Kwannon, but Betsy as a character is around since the 70's and we never had an action figure of her in her British body!
@jtmarsh I actually think this will be the “War of Kings” versions of Havok & Polaris. They have been quietly adding X-men space themed characters and this would logically follow that trend.
If they're going for an update on the classic Vengeance, he needs to come with his bike. I just don't see him in a Build-A-Figure wave.

Not my favorite storyline, but it's possible. They could stick in another Nightcrawler, though I hope that if it's a one-and-done Deathbird we're getting that it's a sufficiently ornate version. I suppose any Deathbird is better than no Deathbird, I just prefer it's not the stripped down simplified versions.
I think it's also quite possible Emma is a store exclusive and not actually Animated as assumed. With the new Hellfire Gala Spider-man (Who they should have put in a 2 pack with Gala Maryjane (complete with Moira Neck(grip)lace) it makes the most sense to spit out an Emma to coincide. Especially if she's standing alone

List updated on the main page.
Wow... that spoiler list is a bit fun and at least has some stuff that the MCU fans can sink their teeth into.
I don't know what Spider-Man Brand New Day is but that line up seems boring to me. Spider-Man (yawn), Hulk (yawn) and Punisher (yawn, unless it's the cool Hand Punisher costume in which case I retract my yawn). Interesting that two of them were just released as Maximum figures though.
The Future Foundation line up is something I'm excited to see finally. And Mole Man is one of those that definitely needs an upgrade so that FF wave (?) is exciting to me.
The Avengers Rivals line up doesn't leap out at me as particularly exciting. I am happy to get a Luna Snow - though I have to pay a Spider-Man tax to get her.
I don't know about a Marvel Rivals Punisher - there are a lot of ways to go with that. The character in the game is HUGE - like super broad chest, beefy arms... so they could put him on a Venom body or something and go a bit wild. There is also an armored look they could go with and he also has a sprite with the red Hand symbol on the chest, so they could make me want it. The Moon Knight outfit almost looks a little Dr. Doomish -
I don't know what they could possibly do to entice me to buy another Venom... unless the Jeff figure is too good to pass on.
I'm hoping I can pass on a lot of the X-Men 97 wave. I hate the animated Beast head - but if the body is great, I may be tempted anyway. I don't know how they get me to buy another Cyclops and Jean. The two pack is great and they have the Season 1 figures out. I guess I'll have to see what is new or different. Gambit as Death could be intriguing depending on execution. Rogue in her brotherhood look depends on what it looks like. And Havok and Polaris - who knows. There is definitely a couple of looks for Polaris that I couldn't pass on.
Hypno Hustler and Cardiac would be so ridiculously welcome. If Christmas Spider-Man is just him with a Santa Hat and a sack of presents that is a nice easy skip.
The Hulk Wave looks awesome. Professor Hulk (yay), Doc Samson upgrade (finally), Hulk 2099 (yes please). Abomination is the disappointment there for me. I've got that character in my collection a number of times now. A-Bomb, Iron Clad, Bi-Beast, Zzaxx - any of those would be welcome over another try at Abomination.
Twilight Captain America is at least a slightly different design and look than we've been getting - "look red stripes over the shoulders!"...
Doom 2099 - 1000% Yes please.
Sue Storm as Malice - sign me up!
Black Panther - I'm in regardless of the look... let's go!
So, all in all there is a lot to like on that leaked list. But I do hope it doesn't mean that's instead of Secret Wars wave 2 and some of the other stuff that was rumored to be coming this year.
