@mentalmanipulator I don't know, but I'm itching to see it. Last year Spiral and Chamber put a big dent in my top 5 wants, and I really thought Psylocke and Destiny would come close to closing it out this year. Psylocke ended up not being the Outback look, so I'm eagerly (but nervously) awaiting Destiny. As for number 5, I'm not holding my breath on Senyaka any time soon.

Yeah I was very happy to get Chamber and Monet, hoping for the rest of Generation X sooner or later. Kind of wonder if this is going to be the same costume as the Walgreens Mystique assuming the Destiny/Mystique 2 pack rumor is true (which I'd say likely is at this point). For those who might not remember there was also a black suit Mystique in 2012 or so. The card art is kind of cool since it has Dani Moonstar on it even though Dani wasn't released til much later lol.

Honestly the Mystique figures I have are great and I'm not really in need of another one -  but it's the tax I have to pay to get Destiny so I'll gladly sign up.     I'm going to assume it will by Raven in her classic white costume.     Really they should have done this as a 3 pack and included first appearance, short hair Rogue.   That would have been good.

Hopefully Mystique will be on the pinless new Widow body and not just a slightly different paint job from the last one.

I'm assuming classic Mystique as well. Destiny is definitely needed and long overdue, but I don't expect her figure to be a hot seller - packing her with classic Mystique should help out.

So... something I was thinking about just now,  maybe because I was thinking about the last Walgreen's Mystique figure...   is that I haven't set foot in a Walgreen's store since they discontinued their relationship with Hasbro getting exclusive Legends figures.     I used to pass by a CVS and a Payless to patronize Walgreen's when they had exclusive Legends... including sending all my prescriptions there -  and when they stopped the partnership I moved my Rx's to the closer pharmacy and haven't been back inside a Walgreen's since.    So that exclusive relationship with Hasbro really did work on me - got me spending hundreds a year (not to mention the thousands paid by my insurance) at their store,  that now I don't.

We got a foot!

The details don’t look like they line up with the art that Thor El or FFF posted, but maybe someone with a better artistic knowledge of Odin’s many looks will be able to pin point a direct match.

yeah,  saw a picture of the feet, loincloth and crown so it definitely looks like that's the image the figure will be referencing.

No idea why the hell it wouldn’t let me put two images in the same post, but here is the rest of the leaked image and the likeliest inspiration. You can see the pattern on the skirt matches the statue, but the horns are different, so it’ll likely be an amalgamation of different looks. I am stoked for a properly chonky Allfather.

Awesome!!  I much prefer the skirt we're getting to just fur.  I love all the cool classic Odin artwork so mixing certain parts is likely to be awesome and make everyone mostly pleased.  Well within reason lol.

 

Is it foolish to want a Heimdall??

Hey Hasbro - with the scale plating design on those hopefully Odin boots, can you keep going with that into the area of a green one-piece female swimsuit for two characters to share that are sorely missing from their teams? Pretty please? Also with arm, leg, torso parts for a certain amphibian Inhuman? Maybe some scaly humans that represent themselves as serpents as well?

Before the great Fwoosh collapse and right after in August in the SDCC Questions & Team Chats thread, @sdcomics reported that he spoke to Dwight at SDCC who said that an Amazon box set featuring the Invaders had been planned and nixed by Marvel because of Namor's recent MCU appearance, and it was replaced with the WCA set.

Well, 2024 is the 55th anniversary of the Invaders first appearance.

 

Maybe one of the unannounced sets for the 85th Anniversary program is The Invaders:

-Celebrating the 55th anniversary of their 1st comic appearance.

-Representing the early beginnings of Marvel/Timely for the 85th anniversary.

-Amazon tie-in to the upcoming Cap movie.

-Plus, we've recently gotten a Namor, so he isn't being held back anymore.

 

Can you imagine this box set?

 

I, of course, would somehow want Spitfire and Baron Blood swapped in... or maybe a 2-pack, along with a Miss America & Whizzer 2-pack.
