Classic Giant-Man & Wasp as the base set plus 3 additional figures as tiers seems likely to me. Janet as a tier would be pretty lame, as has been pointed out by several in this thread. Do her the courtesy of making her part of the main product!

I certainly don't know but I think that it's extremely unlikely that we get Giant-Man PLUS 4 regular sized figures for $200, right?!? Let's say that Giant-Man is 18", so that's got to be $150 right there. I'm thinking we might get one more regular sized figure (probably Wasp) and maybe an alternate head or mini-figures and that's likely it. If Giant-Man is 20" or taller then I'm thinking that's it - that's the total offering with nothing else included. Again this is all based upon the $199 rumor, which we don't even know for sure is accurate.
Of course, what do I know? 24 hours ago I thought the idea of a Marvel Legends HasLab for under $300 was ludicrous.
I'd like to echo that and add that normal sized Yellowjacket should not be offered as a tier as well.
Let that be easier to get by being included in a regular wave.

Honestly, I'd prefer that myself also. I have no need for a new Wasp (unless she's pinless, I guess) and I'd only want a Rita Yellowjacket. I have no desire to buy a Hank one at tall. I have the old early days Hasbro one and it sits in a storage bin. I don't want multiple costumes for any one character. That's just my personal preference. Iron Man may be the one exception.

I totally forgot about the Living Eraser. He'd be awesome!
I think if the $200 price is accurate I am happy for three reasons - one, it supports the idea that Giant Man will be scaled in the big but not huge size I want; two, the potential to reuse this sculpt for Goliath or Bill Foster as Pulse exclusives down the line might be factored into the price a bit; and three, it suggests that the team has remembered they are making toys to match the main line, after overdelivering on the design of the Hellcharger, so Giant Man just needs to be big, not fancy - for instance instead of hands with poseable fingers that take time to assemble, maybe they give us interchangeable hands this time.
Predicting the height seems like I am in a baby pool at work...but...
I think they might hit 20" just because that sounds more impressive than 18" or 19". It also works as Giant Man is then "over 3 times normal figure height". So I'll go with that.
I hope that 1st Appearance Janet is included in the base. Apart from a new head sculpt it would use a lot of existing parts so not a major expense to include her. If they do that, I think at $200 that pairing funds regardless of the tiers and most of us would be happy with it.
I also think it will have only two tiers - my prediction is Jarvis for the first tier, just because it fits the theme and I can accept it isn't a figure they might do at retail. Second tier will be Golden early appearance Iron Man, essentially a repaint of the recently released 1st Appearance Iron Man and pretty easy to do. And if that isn't unlocked, we aren't missing out a new character, and realistically they could be up front that that variant could still see a release in the future.

100% agree with all of this.
Some of these tier suggestions/guesses are too obscure. They are meant to move the needle.
I know Rita has been mentioned many times, but yeah...not seeing her move any needles. Sorry 😐
The reason most people probably didn't post the $200 rumor is that it's completely unverifiable. Someone posted it on Reddit multiple times, and their story was that someone found a page on the Pulse web site that supposedly showed a listing for the Giant-Man Haslab for $199.
But no screenshot, and no description for how they found that page. There was no link to it, so they must have scanned the site--except that the name of the page was unique enough to be a pretty good password by itself, and scanning the site's file system is unlikely to be possible.
It's just not credible. Possible, but unlikely, and the poster declining to answer most reasonable questions about it made it even dodgier. That's why I haven't posted that rumor.
In the typical lat spread pose, the lats stick out a lot. Widest part of the torso (except the shoulders themselves).@ashtalon um might want to get that checked out if you think your back muscles pop out as the widest part of your body like that.
Superhero fans aren't obligated to be body builders, but you would think reading years of ultra muscular superheroes wearing skintight outfits would at least pique interest for human anatomy. I remember someone complaining about how a figure should have a waist cut and not diaphragm articulation because people "turn at the waist."
Can't wait for shadow boobs to be an unlock tier, though.
I think a previous Haslab page accidentally popped up for a second. Can't remember which one it was. Maybe the Dragonfly. So maybe there's precedence for this one's page accidentally revealing the price. I can see a smaller pricepoint on this one after the failure of the EOV. Make something more feasible and secure a win again.

I didn’t see the price so I can’t speak to that, it could still be complete BS but I did see a screenshot of where someone found the listing for Giant Man on the Pulse website this morning, I didn’t pay it a lot of attention because I didn’t really think it was much of a scoop considering how obvious it has been what the campaign would be. I’ll see if I can find it again.
Update: I can’t find it, but I found the other posts I saw it mixed in with, so I don’t know if it was deleted, fake, or whatever. But in my search to find it I ended up seeing several photos of the Engine of Vengeance so now I’m super bummed out all over again.

Are you going for a world record for how many times you've been completly wrong in this thread (MCU Giant man? seriously, what were you smoking?). I expect a mea culpa from you tomorrow by 12 PM EST.

These are niche enough to where I'd be happy. I'd also be forking over a pretty penny to get Jarvis on eBay, but that looks inevitable right now.

It'll also get things good and toxic when the real price is announced.
what I would do is:
BASE OFFERING- classic giant man/ bill foster giant man, 21 inches each, classic wasp and yellow jacket 6 inches each
tier 1- ultron /hank pym, with ultron head.
tier 2- gold iron man 1st appearance
tier 3- jarvis
