As I've decided not to build this BAF, since most of the wave doesn't interest me, and just wait for the eventual release of a Mindless One standalone deluxe figure, I'm now very tempted to not get this Luke Cage and just wait for the blue pants version. Classic Luke is very high on my want list, but I don't need two of him.
I much prefer Luke Cage with blue pants. I'm sure that look will be released next year. Hasbro loves to release much-requested characters in modern-ish costumes and then more classic within a year.
I have plenty of Hand Ninjas but this one looks nice as well.
I do want multiple Mindless Ones but other than the ninja, I don't want multiples of any of these figures. I don't even want one of this Iron Man. A deluxe re-release of the Mindless One makes a lot of sense, and I'll likely just wait to get additional Mindless Ones till that happens.
my only issue with the concept of a mindless ones re-release. is hasbro loves to just tweak something about a re-release. And i'd be afraid i'd end up with mindless ones of slightly different shades.
I think the upcoming morbius from the morbius/6 arm spidey re-release might be the only figure (as far as i can tell from him) they've re-released with no change (or next to no change)

Cage with the black pants is technically the more "classic" look, since that's how he first appeared. The blue pants were a subsequent development after confusion about the coloring/shading of black in a three color medium. (See also Beast and Nightcrawler)
And for those of you holding out for the blue pants version, it seems a virtual certainty he will be in a 2-pack with classic Iron Fist. My only wonder is if they do like the recent Daredevil pack and make it a 3 pack - something like a comic Colleen Wing that they can do using a recolored SHIELD agent head on recolored Black Widow body.
I wouldn't be shocked.
Love the promotional photos for this wave. Is it photography from Shootingthegalaxy? The posing is great. Especially for Clea—she looks so cool in her promotional shots. Can’t wait for this wave!

They do love to make me buy multi-packs I don't want.
So glad Clea is finally getting her own Legends figure. Been loving McKay's work on the comics lately so this is a must for me.

I'm genuinely surprised they did it, Clea has been at the top of my list for a few years. Great design as well and basically my minds eye version of the character.
I've really enjoyed the current comics run too. Hoping for more of the supernatural type characters to show up in Legends after this wave.
This is Hasbro we're talking about. Power Man and Iron Fist 2 pack with Luke in blue pants and Danny in a non 70's classic outfit. Four years later Danny gets released in a box set with classic costume with 2 other figures that are re-released with minor changes.I much prefer Luke Cage with blue pants.

We'll get a Heroes for Hire 5pack, with classic "blue pants" Cage, classic Iron Fist, classic Misty Knight, classic El Aguila, and modern Colleen Wing. 😉 😆 😛This is Hasbro we're talking about.

I mean that 5-pack sounds great to me!

I was thinking the same thing, Akat- the posing really makes the figures more appealing, IMO. I think that is partially why I'm so compelled to buy this entire wave despite not having an affinity for a few of the characters.
I have no connection to Lady Bullseye but I feel I must get her to honor the time she was announced as one of the first fan vote figures Hasbro did for the inevitable two-packs.
I am all about street level heroes so I'm pretty much all in with this wave. Of course, it had to be the one wave that isn't available at retail. Here's my rank in most desirable:
Blade
Cage
Fist Ninja
Daredevil
Lady Bullseye
Clea
