I'd take a movie Juggie. Deadpool 2 version, of course. We got a Vinnie Jones Juggie figure already, technically. May be a bit underscaled, but since his version of Juggie was never huge to begin with, it's fudgable. Never thought I'd really have a reason to try and track that figure down, but here we are! Was fun seeing the same version in D&W, but I was hoping he'd at least say the iconic, cringey line.
I pre-ordered Colossus; been on my want list for quite a while, so I hope he does well. You could work this version into an X Men: The Last Stand or Days of Future Past movie display if you're not too picky. Yeah, it ain't the same actor, but at the end of the day, shiny metal guy is shiny metal guy.
Good point, though, about Cassandra coming with the helmet. Didn't even think of that as an accessory for some reason.
I hope she also comes with alt heads with her fingers creeping through them. At least a DP. 🙂
I got X3 Juggernaut a while ago on ebay. He didn't cost me all that much honestly. I bought him when they did the X-Men movie program
Soooooooo, could the MCU get its first haslab next year? Or, assuming they do a Galactus figure, will he be even more truncated and be only 20" or something?
Though I still love this idea:
I hope they just do Galactus' head and shoulders, like one of those Barbie hair style dolls. Let me just put his bust on the shelf and pose around that.
Or, really break the bank and let me mount it on the wall like the ToyBiz bases of old, like he's emerging through a void or the sky or something.
I'd totally take a Galactus bust playset/diorama thingy. I used to love those little bust/portrait playsets back in the day that opened up to reveal a couple scenes from the movie to play with. A hyper detailed bust to display on the shelf or wall would be great (no need for it to open up, but like you said, Ru, having spots for characters to peg in or hang on would be awesome). I feel like I still see those wall decoration things that look like a character is bursting out of the wall, so this wouldn't be too dissimilar. Heck, make it hollow to cut back on costs, as long as it's still good quality. You could do another little add-on one of just his hand, where you could put Silver Surfer or another herald. I'm surprised nobody's really done something like that (at least to my knowledge).
Maybe a third party or 3d printing person on Etsy or something could manage that. Having the hand as well is a great idea.
Maybe if they do something like a kid's costume for Galactus with the full face in the mask....
Just wanted to quote this here for the MCU part. Thank you, Beamish!
This popped up on Facebook, supposably originally posted by Displaying Model Behavior.
Is it real? Is it fake? Who knows at this point.
Spider-Boy may be the shoe tease we got at SDCC as many have pointed out.
If this is true, Princess Python, Hypno-Hustler and Slyde can't get to my shelf fast enough.

I mean... technically there are no MCU parts on that list. The Across the Spiderverse stuff is Sony all the way. And the X-Men Movie stuff is still Fox legacy and not MCU. None of that stuff got dragged forward just because the new Deadpool movie brought the Deadpool characters in.
Yeah yeah, I know. I even thought I should call it "MCU-ish" but was far too lazy. But I consider the Fox stuff MCU-adjacent like the Raimi and Webb movies. Not everyone has to, but if I like the figures, they'll go on my Secret Wars shelf with Fassbender, McAvoy, and the main MCU Avengers.
Its not MCU, but do we need to make a FoX-Men thread at this point? I am okay with it in here cause it's movie tie-in figures.
So, seems like we have some varying opinions, but seems like most hope the X-Men figures to be from the original trilogy. I agree the first two movies are good, and the third isn't even bad to me, but as I said plenty of times already, I would love figures of the team at the end of Apocalypse. I'd also take a Banshee from First Class. Yeah he is too young but I'm just not sure Marvel Studios will have a better Banshee on screen than that, if at all.
I would end up buying them either way, but I think they would sell better as X1-X3 figures. There is more nostalgia for those movies than the FC series, especially post D&W.
