@raybot a second wave is a must. Otherwise, I'll accept we're just looking at title characters from now on.
I'll probably get DP as well since he's all new. I'm not a huge fan of the shoulder joint, but I don't hate it. Just hope it functions right.
Maybe there are several deluxes to go with the singles. Isn't one of this year's rumors that they're doing a Fox/MCU Colossus? Someone else too, I forget who.
@enigmaticclarity i was thinking/hoping the same thing. Yes on Colossus but he's the only one listed. Cap 4 was the wave with three deluxe figures listed, but I'd love a DP2 Juggernaut.
Well, to be fair to Hasbro, a mixed wave is usually 3 or 4 figures one way or the other. So Deadpool and Wolverine plus a BAF sized Colossus would be about what we would be possibly getting in a mixed wave. They just are not doing the other half
You're right. I'm being greedy. (I'm not saying that's your point, but you definitely helped me realize it.)
Judging by past waves, I'm ending up with what I probably would have gotten anyway. One regular movie figure, and one BAF sized movie figure. Even in full movie waves, I never get everyone anymore. I'm just anxious to add more mutants to the shelf that's been only Deadpool for so long, heh.
What do you hate about them? They work great on the few McFarlane figures I have.
The range is terrible - I get better range out of regular hinge & swivel arms which should be the opposite lol, and McFarlane's at least, pop out if you try to actually utilize the range they promise (which is always preferable to breakage, but then the ring goes flying, and like I said, I've never seen the "better range").
Now having seen it.....Plenty they can do for a wave 2!
@e-rock yes, top of my list would be
could go for a grunged up sleeveless wolvie rerelease too. Tho I prefer the hot toys ‘with shoulder pads’ sleeveless look.
Alright, having seen it - DO NOT click on the spoiler if you haven't seen it. Don't do that to yourself.
The Gambit suit was incredible and they really need to figure out how to get a Marvel Legend of it out. Ditto for Blade.
I just saw the movie and I LOVED it!!!
It seems like a bit of a stretch to make a wishlist these days but...
Elektra
Gambit
Blade
Johnny
Laura
Also, I'm still waiting on a Hunter B-15.
I'd say Hasbro has gone back to their not making villians ways BUT they ain't making nobody these days soooooo lol I'd take a Cassandra, Sabertooth, Toad, and Pyro
Hot diggity! What a fun movie. I know my thoughts won't be any different than anyone else's, but still-
Top of my list is Gambit. Always wanted a live action Gambit (nothing against Taylor Kitsch, but that wasn't Gambit, that was his west coast cousin Bettin' Man.). What a dream it must've been for Tatum (ridiculous cajun accent and all), and a dream it would be to have on my shelf!
After him is X-23/Laura. Since we didn't get her in the Logan 2-pack from a couple years back, we really need her now. Dafne Keen is really on an upward trend, and Hasbro already gave her a Star Wars figure, so maybe there's some loophole in there where they can use her likeness again within a certain amount of time? 🤣 I can hope!
Johnny Storm- Especially with the new F4 movie coming out, we're never gonna get anything from the old movies ever again. Made for a great bait-and-switch for the audience and was quite memorable. I'm sure they can make use of one of the younger Cap heads in some regard.
Elektra- Just a fun throwback. It would make me want a ML Affleck Daredevil, which I know I had up until a couple years ago, but shouldn't be too hard to get. She was never my favorite, but she was always cool, and seeing her again brought me back to my childhood.
Blade- Like he said, there hasn't been another Blade yet (and there may not be, despite Marvel's best efforts, the poor movie keeps getting delayed). Nice to see Snipes get some love after a rough couple of years.
I really hope we get those 5. Some are easy enough customs, sure, but this is (I would assume) our only chance to get some of them in figure form (Laura may be the only one I'd expect to have a possibility of moving forward). I know the fact that they're all pretty big stars, and some rights may still be tied up with Fox might make things more difficult, but I hope they try. Make it an exclusive if need be (it would be one of the only things to get me to sign back up for Pulse)
Other than them, I'd love a Sabertooth and Toad. Since we never got one for the X-Men anniversary a few years back. I know these aren't technically the same versions, and poor Sabertooth got nerf'd pretty hard, but they'd be cool figures. I'd love a Pyro, and I'd take a Cassandra as well. She was a creepy, cool villain who made just enough of an impression. I'd even take a Juggernaut. I'd also gladly take a Colossus; I know he was barely in this movie, but they could pull a No Way Home wave, and package him as either Deadpool 1 or 2.
Unfortunately, I think most of the candidates for future waves would be the Deadpool, and maybe the Wolverine variants. I can see Lady Deadpool getting one for sure, maybe Nicepool or Cowboy Deadpool. Kidpool or Babypool, if they don't come with Headpool. Dogpool in there somewhere. Maybe even some of the Wolvie variants, though very clever of Hasbro to give us most of them in the anniversary sets earlier this year.
All in all, a super fun movie with some great cameos. I'm hopeful we'll get at least some of the non-variant characters, but I won't hold my breath too much.
I think from the movie I would want:
Cassandra Nova
X-23
Blade
Gambit
Elektra
Add in a sleeveless Wolverine with Battle Damage. Maybe a female Deadpool if they really wanted to. I wouod call this an amazing wave
I'm not sure when I'll get to see the movie. We have multiple birthday celebrations and a funeral this weekend, so I went ahead and read the wiki plot summary, went to town on reddit, and one of my best friends saw it last night and answered all the questions I could think of. I'm trying to not spoil jokes for myself since that will be far more entertaining while watching, but plot and character stuff I'm very okay with knowing now.
Deluxe Juggernaut (The DP2 version, but hey if they wanna do a set of him with Colossus I'd be very happy)
Sabretooth
Deathstrike
Pyro
Man I guess that's it. I was never a Gambit fan, but it's very cool people who are get to see a version that's apparently stealing the show. I'd get a figure of Laura suited up, which sounds like we may get in another movie. If they do Toad.... I may grab him. Maybe. But I'm guessing the final farewell to the Fox X-men is still coming in an Avengers movie, so maybe at that time we'll get Cyclops, Storm, Nightcrawler, etc.
I won't be able to see it for another week. And I like reading this thread. So ty for all the spoiler tags lol. But I'm sure I'd take probably anything from it.
