They're definitely sitting on potential sales without re-releasing the Hellfire goons. I need at least 2 if not more. I don't understand why they made such a limited run of those.
I'd love some Einherjar army builders. I don't know what kind of demand there is for them, but I'd be all kinds of happy.
I also missed out on the Skrulls, so I'd appreciate another substantial run of those as well. Enough to cover the guaranteed amount people would be buying. Like, offer them for pre-order so they know how many to make instead of just making a set amount and telling the rest of us, "Oh, well. Tough luck!" My lack of Skrull goons is why I've ignored the Super-Skrull 2-pack that came out.
I am surprised there wasn't a second run of the Skrulls tied to the Invasion show. I fully expected more to be produced especially at retail.
I want to know when we're getting some updated Kree soldiers? There hasn't been any comic based figures since the old 2 packs many moons ago.
New Kree soldiers would be awesome, especially in the classic outfits. I had army built some during the Captain Marvel movie wave, and customized a few Genis figures into different soldiers. But I sold all those so I'd be happy to start over with a new version.
EDIT: This also reminded me that last night I was watching Dan Who Reviews do a review of the Mindless One BaF. My oldest son was in the room doing his homework at the time, and as Dan Who commented about that BaF being an army builder, Connor said what we've all said before and wondered why Hasbro doesn't do an Army Builder wave with an army builder BaF. I smiled. Kid's smart. 😉
I'm working on changing some extra of the X-Men's Maggot that I got on clearance into Kree soldiers. Otherwise I did the same as Thor-El. I have an absolute crap ton of Yon-Rogg and Genis-Vell from that first Captain Marvel movie wave that I'm using for generic Kree Soldiers. I did the same with Talos for Skrulls. That wave was so easy to find on clearance for like $7 each. I have 5 of those complete Kree Sentry BAFs too with lots of additional parts still. The Nick Fury from that wave was the hardest to find for me but even he was great for a generic suited body. I think that I'm using that body right now in kitbashes for Robbie Robertson, Lucius Fox and probably others that I don't even remember. (The Jurassic Park Samuel Jackson works well for either Robbie or Lucius also!) The only figure in that wave that came with a BAF part that couldn't really be used for anything else is the Carol with the cat... although I haven't found anything great that I really like to do with the Grey Gargoyle body either and the boots on that figure are atrocious.
On a slightly related note, I put the Veranke head on the armored What If Gamora and love it! I'm also using some McFarlane Warhammer Ork Big Meks mega-figs that I found on clearance with my Skrulls. And of course the McFarlane Ice Giant mega-figs as Frost Giants. Both of those were originally $39.99 when they came out but were being clearanced out everywhere (Amazon, GameStop, EE) for like $15 each at one point. I've got several of both. They also did a "bloody" Ice Giant that was clearanced out at a lot of places also.
It's also sickening how many of the Wakanda Dora Milaje Nakia/Okoye, Blue Angel Nakia, Hatut Zeraze and Shuri Sunbirds I bought while they were being clearanced out for all at that $7 price point also. I did a bunch of head swaps from other African American female figures onto those Dora Milaje figures as well. I think most of those can STILL be found for around that $7 price point some places like Amazon and Kids Warehouse. My Wakanda display is RIDICULOUS right now. I've got a couple of those Rhinos that M'Baku rode from that first movie in there also. I want to build a waterfall display from that first Black Panther movie, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Similarly I've got several of the Lightyear Zyclops (both 12" & 8") along with several Lightyear yellow plasma drills as cannons that were all clearanced out in my AIM display also. The Drills are $4.49 each right now and the the 12" Zyclops are $7.49 each right now for Amazon Prime Days.

Was happy to see these dudes announced at Comic-Con, especially with Dwight noting we having gotten much in the way of MCU army builders. Would be great if we got the Chitauri or Ultron drones next.

Definitely picking up these bad boys too.
I’m glad I was able to get as many hellfire goons as I did when they dropped. I wanted to make sure I had a full roster.
im happy with the new arcade sentinels they just put up for preoder. Sounds like they’ll do additional colours in the future.
Yeah, the Outriders look great! And they look basically the same in both the comics and MCU. Comic fans should consider getting them, too.
I would also love to get Ultron Drones, Hammer Drones!, and Chitauri.

I've seen people say this, but there is way too much texture on the sculpt for me to mix it in to a comic display I think. Comic figures tend to be smoother without all that texture.
I want these Outriders but I have space for maybe two. I wish I could do them in greater numbers.

That's always one of the main issues for trying to fudge a movie figure as a comic version - even when the designs are close they feel like (and basically are) two very different lines. With rare exceptions (Cosmo!) I don't try to use MCU figures as comic stand-ins anymore.
The Outriders have had so few comic appearances that it won't bother me too much - they also don't really travel in mobs like in the movie if I'm remembering right, so I don't feel compelled to build much of an army.
Subterraneans!
Ultimatum Agents!
Terrordyne Agents!
Atlantean soldiers!
Badoon!
Rivermen!
Timeshadow!
Flashback!

Then how will you re-create this scene? 🤨 All we're lacking now are ginormous lightning effects...
I'd like to see a new Multiple Man (like from the Apocalypse BAF wave)
I love the look of those Outriders. Just screen accurate as can be, look well articulated, and there’s both versions included. They’ll look incredible with the ridiculously outnumbered Black Order.
Literally the only thing I’d want changed is Pulse giving up on that 5-item order limit they keep stuffing on army-builders. At least these are coming in 2-packs these days. I got in on the Sentinels but I surely would have ordered more Skrull, Black Hand Ninjas, and Hellfire goons when they were available.
I do like the design of the comic outriders more. They were way creepier and I’d buy those too.
