Wasp looks great. If she's standard price ($25) I'll get her. If wings are an excuse to price her higher I'll get her on clearance.
The best accessory they could give her would be a mini figure or even two but I'm prepared for it to just be fist hands.
That's about as much positivity and negativity that I can evenly mix into this reaction post.
Baby steps!
I'd love it if every Avengers-related character release came with that small Wasp figurine we've gotten a few times, each painted with a different costume Janet's worn over the years. Or at least as close to that costume as the figurine allows.

They'd probably use that as an excuse to increase the prices because of the extra paint apps.
I could see this Wasp being a mid-deluxe the same way Black Widow was this year, if she came with an alternate head or two and a miniature version (or two). Wings shouldn’t push it over the $25 threshold on their own. Every other Wasp has been standard price (and peg warmed).
...steps up to the podium...
-Glad we're getting 1st appearance Wasp. Thanks to Hasbro for finishing the team. Apparently, she might have an alternate head. Hopefully a newly sculpted mini-Wasp as well, which could be the base for all future mini-Wasp figures.
-Oddly enough with all my complaining, the 1st appearance look is not my favorite, but it needed to happen to go along with the other founders. My favorite is the 1960s red and yellow suit, which she also wore in the 70s and maybe once or twice in the 80s. Its bright and stands out among all the other colorful costumes from the other heroes.
-I'm certainly glad this particular version of Wasp was not a tier.
-Hopefully classic gold suit Iron Man will appear at some point.
-An update to Pym Yellowjacket is the next logical figure to compliment the shipping of the HasLab. I'd prefer him on a single card Fan Channel of BAF wave, 2-pack with the above mentioned red/yellow 1960s Wasp, a 2-pack with Rita DeMara Yellowjacket or a 2-pack with Ultron Mk I.
As for their claim that "The celebration for Avengers: Beyond Earth's Mightiest will continue in 2024", there are plenty of good candidates...
-The Void BAF wave is the annual Avengers wave for 2024, but it isn't under the anniversary banner. However, when Ryan introduced Vision at SDCC he said he was part of the anniversary.
-The rumor list Count Nefaria, Herald Thor repaint, the 2 Iron Man armors and Ikaris (Avengers ally - at least he appeared in a few Avengers titles as opposed to Crystar) seem like logical candidates.
-@benha reported from NYCC - according to Dan/Dwight that Jack of Hearts and more Inhumans are coming, which could mean Crystal and Pet Avenger Lockjaw.
-An update to 70's/classic ToyBiz Falcon seems like a given as an exclusive like classic Star-Lord and Ant-Man to tie into the upcoming Cap film.
-I forget where I read this or saw this but the team was thrilled about 2024 because a lot of wish list wants would be revealed. I'm assuming this means the Wolverine 50th anniversary (which could get us sometimes Avengers nemesis Deathbird), but you know who else are pretty standard fixtures in Fwoosh Top 10 polls and various wish lists? Skurge and Crystal, and Attuma is usually close by.
-2024 is the 40th anniversary of Secret Wars, which could get us long-time Avengers enemy Titania, maybe in a 2-pack with 80s She-Hulk.
-1970s Carol with alternate Karla Dark Ms. Marvel head has to be coming. It's easy money because many of us would buy 2 to display both Carol and Karla.
-My gut is telling me that if they offer a Pulse 2-pack, it'll be classic Swordsman and Mantis.
-My gut is also telling me that the 2024 Amazon 5-pack will be Cap related, so maybe some more Serpents.
So, with so many potential possibilities for continued Avengers and enemies in 2024, I'll be switching my posts to focus on a few characters that may not be in the immediate spotlight: Stingray, Firebird, Living Lightning and Graviton.
Thanks to Hasbro for finishing the team.
I know you go on to mention him later, but the team isn't finished until we get Gold Iron Man. I'm sure it's a lock to happen since it's just an easy repaint, but still, he's the only member of the original team they didn't re-do this year. (Well, and I guess a smaller, green Hulk, but I think we just have to count the 20th or 80th anniversary as that)
I'd love it if every Avengers-related character release came with that small Wasp figurine we've gotten a few times, each painted with a different costume Janet's worn over the years. Or at least as close to that costume as the figurine allows.
They'd probably use that as an excuse to increase the prices because of the extra paint apps.
What they would do, is use her to justify hiking up the price, then decide the budget is too high, and cut her, but keep the increased price.
Wasp looks great! I'm happy for more Avengers in 2024, but I get the feeling it won't be the full court press it was this year. Target put them on clearance fast.
That's the Wasp figure I've been wanting. It now seems pretty logical that we'll get a gold repaint of the First Appearance Iron Man to complete the original Avengers #1 team.
And maybe a Hulk with a Kirby style headsculpt.

These are the 2 Wasps I'd want to display. The FA one they just showed with the hopefully funded Giant Man and the one you mentioned just on the Avengers shelf in general. We should probably call her the Buscema Wasp. 
While I'm in the "Wasp has 2 wings camp," that is definitely a good-looking figure so maybe I could pop a couple off?
Of course, I'm also in the "Wasp doesn't have wings at full size" camp, so maybe I can pop all of them off?
So now, from that era we just need a new Warbird, Classic Beast, Yellow Jacket and more Classic Iron Man (yellow unibeam). Interesting.
Yeah that red and yellow costume for Wasp is probably my next most wanted. She also wore black and red with no mask/helmet for a while, so including an unmasked head with the first appearance figure gets us two valid costumes. Really stoked we finally got to see her.
I also probably won't display her with wings at full size but I'm happy they were included to have the option.
