Preternia posted slides from the DST panel. They revealed movie Deadpool & Wolverine, along with a mock-up of Hobgoblin (did we see design work for that one already?) & an updated Carnage.
Found them. The movie figures seem to be looking quite amazing, especially Deadpool. Hope they will be released sooner than in a year's time.
No apologies necessary of course - thanks for the update Norm and Zach!
Deadpool and Wolverine looks great. I wish I could put the old Wolverine's head on the new one.
Annihilus and Archangel were indeed prototypes. But we had test shots (unpainted) at the panel, and I think we may see them by end of year. MAYBE. Sorry for the delay again.
Definitely a texture on Archangel. Also, Archangel has articulation on his wings so they can wrap around him. Prototype does not show that articulation.
Annihilus heads can be swapped between figures. And he will come with interchangeable cosmic control rods.
Carnage is the Disney Store Carnage, "Carnage X." Different heads than the regular release, plus a stretchy neck.
If it takes a while longer in order to get them perfect, I can continue being patient. These look like they could be among the best MS figures. That's saying a lot based on the quality of figures within the past decade!
No apologies at all necessary. Like @normdapito I'm perfectly willing to wait if it means an improved product. I'm used to waiting for projects on Kickstarter to get produced, so it's not a big deal.

Ditto to the above sentiments!

This is a very cool and appreciated detail. Appreciate you sharing information here, as always!

Waitaminute.... I've been told many times, right here in this forum, how we're all a bunch of entitled whiny man babies. You guys are ruining our reputation

Thank you for the updates! I agree with the others - I'd rather have them right than soon.
That's exciting news about Archangel's wings. Just to clarify, is there a joint in the middle of the wings somewhere? Or does the spot where the wings connect to his back allow for forward movement of the wings?
I will echo what others have said: really excited to have Angel and Annihilus in hand, super cool hear of the extra goodies and that the figures might show up before the end of the year.

Hinge joint in the middle of the larger wings.
All 4 wings connect to the back via ball joints, and I BELIEVE the entire apparatus is removable and replaceable with a collapsed wing piece. We'll see!

That whole setup sounds dreamy. Can't wait to see it!
I hope the Annihilus will be hitting Amazon by then. None of the stores offer it for pre-order in my country.
