The Gamerverse Abomination with some minor alterations has to be something they are aware of as a potential re-use friendly deluxe release. Though it might end up as a Pulsecon exclusive or something like they did with Iron Monger/Detroit Steel.
Seeing Odin makes me wish even more that we’d gotten a DCUC Highfather. It’d be fun to have been able to pose the two of them around together.

Well, that just makes me sad now. 🙁
I saw someone use a movie Phastos body and a new resculpted X97 Magneto head to make one and it looked really good.
Odin looks as good as I could have possibly hoped for. I don't know if this is specific to any one comic or how any one artist drew him, but I know it invokes a Walt Simonson feel and I'll take it. Really pleased with how this turned out.
I JUST customized Juggernaut wave Phoenix to my exact preference. I need to decide how much I want that Phoenix base because that's the reason I'd be buying this.
Odin looks sensational. As wide as he is tall. I didn’t watch the video, but do the ravens attach to him securely?
@normdapito They can "tuck into the fur" with their feet. Or "rest" on his open hand.
Rogue and Destiny complete the Secret Wars era X-Men and Mystique’s Brotherhood, very happy with them. I imagine Rogue sill get a repaint in white stripes and a new head for ‘97 wave 3.
Odin gets redemption here, perfection, and massive!
Phoenix- my only nitpick, couldn’t one of those heads have gotten the Byrne/Cockrum 70’s hair?!? Otherwise she looks geeat.
there’s somw nice stuff in that Strange Tales wave but Ill prob pass on preordering all but Daimon
Everytime Ryan said the equivalent of "but wait, there's more" when showing Phoenix, I kept hoping he was going to reveal that it was a box set with a new Cockrum Cyclops. I like the accessories, but yer killin' me, Ting!
Definitely will pick up the Destiny 2-pack (I'm glad for that FA Rogue as opposed to a re-release of Mystique - it would be one thing if they redid her on a new body or something, but i don't really need to get her again otherwise).
also in for Phoenix, particularly if its a deluxe release, but hey if they include diving cap Cyclops i would not mind upgrading the one i bought from ebay from that TRU 2-pack if they make him on a different body.
In for Odin as well, but that's one where i would probably wait for a sale as i can live with the BAF version otherwise. I think he is likely to get discounted at some point though, can't really point to anything specific but feels like if it ain't Spider-man or X-men adjacent, odds are good it goes on sale eventually
And MCU Odin is still available for $14. Character might not be that popular outside The Fwoosh and the like.
Now that this program is fully revealed, I think Warbird is the one I'm most excited about - and kind of only? She's a re-do but a much needed one adding the thigh-highs (though they should have had the thighs plug into the boot to avoid that cut joint), but everyone else is a re-do of some variety except for Odin (and even then...). The character selection this year feels very odd and while normally I'm excited for 90% of the releases, this year I'm down to like 40-45%.
All of my Amazon POs for this series bumped up to 8/20.
@normdapito same here. Have a feeling they might jump around a bit over the next few weeks...
Same here for the Cabal set. Cannot wait for that one!
SB Toyz has some of the 85th figures already, including Ghost Rider and Astonishing Wolverine:
Any indication that Target and Walmart are carrying these?
