Really pissed it’s a Pulse Exclusive, with early access for Premium members. It’ll be completely sold out by the time the rest of us can even try. 🤬

I think the 2pk will still be $50. Maybe 55, not 60.

I watched the whole video (thanks for posting, @h-bird) and the slide they showed for the sale date had a typo, saying Tuesday April 10 (Tuesday is tomorrow, but it's the 9th). I will be ordering multiples for sure. Too good to have all those extras.

I couldn't tell, was the body used for Hank the Vulcan body or the modified Sunfire body with pinless limbs? That extra Wasp head will go great on some of the previous Wasp figures too. She really doesn't get enough love in terms of making the variety of her costumes into figures, but her figures also tend to peg warm, so I get it. I guess a 2pk was the way to go?

No it won't.... they would be utterly stupid to make a supply so small only their premium subscribers can buy it.

That new Wasp head is calling for a Yellow/Red Buscema Wasp body

Immediate purchase.

The unmasked Janet head is absolutely gorgeous. This set is amazing!

However... the elephant in the room...

No small version of Wasp?

 

May be pop art of vulture, poster and text

May be a doodle of 1 person, vulture and text

May be an image of 2 people, vulture, toy and text that says 'LEGENDS LEGENDS HANK PYM (GIANT-MAN) WARNING: MARVEL 202 024MARVEL MARVEL MARVEL AVENGERS JANET VAN DYNE (WASP) SEYOND ARTH'S MIGHTIEST PULS- 2024.HASBRO'

No small Wasp is a bummer and the fact that it's the Sunfire buck which I don't think anyone likes anymore.  Wouldn't it have been cool if they did an all new buck that was a shrunk-down 6" version of the Giant Man buck?

Besides those two issues, looks like a good 2 pack.

That’s correct, it would be very stupid were they to do that. They do separate allotments and, I assume, add any surplus from early access to general release. I’m a subscriber and I’ve never seen a Legends “early access” offering be unavailable to non-subscribers following the close of the membership window. However, that doesn’t mean that there won’t be a feeding frenzy for this very well-done set (sans tiny Jan, which I have multiple left-overs from Toy Biz, but assume they can slot in on any Legend – hopefully, Yellow Jacket?).

No small Wasp is a head-scratcher.  A small Ant-Man also would have been nice.  Maybe they're thinking since Giant-Man is so big regular is fine?

I doubt this thing sells out at all, let alone during the first hour it's only available to Pulse subscribers.

I also think it will be $49.99 - they seem to have cooled it a bit on the aggressive pricing. The SHIELD pack with all of its bits and bobs is "only" $74.99.

No mini-figures is indeed a bummer! But I still love the set.

I got an email last week from Pulse that said "your membership has expired." No warning, just "it's done."

Which is smart on one hand, because I may have put a a last minute order in for things I was currently on the fence about (another Hydro/DD set, SS set) so I could let it sit for a bit, but if I didn't know I'd panic and sign up again. But, for once, I put that order in the day before! So I was fine waiting to sign up again... until this.

But I also don't think this sells out. I'm guessing this sells more like Moondragon. And I'm going to wait to re-sign up until I really need to, another sale or something cool is in stock. 🙂

Janet looks great - really great. Wish her boots were sculpted to match the rest of her sculpting. And I wish a small version of her had been included. They're really gonna force me into buying old Toy Biz versions, aren't they?

Why do I already have small versions of Antman and Wasp? Are they from Marvel Universe? I don't mix ANY Toy Biz stuff with my Hasbro collection, so they aren't from TB.

I have similar concerns.  I have a Dr. Mindbender-shaped hole right next to a Serpentor-shaped hole in my collection that say this isn't an impossibility.

Maybe for the small Antman. I know the small Wasp that came with retro card Antman was blue and white to match the retro card Wasp. But I know I have a small classic Wasp.
