Defintiely could use a MCU Legacy wave with a few odds and ends (Echo, Elsa Bloodstone, Wild Boy Ninjas, Chitauri, Kevin Bacon and Christmas Mantis and Drax). Maybe they will pop up in some D+ waves related to What If..? when it returns.
The MCU Legacy waves tend to just be repaints/kitbashes. So we are unlikely to get anything new outside of new media tie in product anytime soon. Not unless we get some type of annual program. Then maybe we will get 2 or 3 make up figures and some lazy repaints.
I am in a bad mood today lol
So between Thunderbolts and FF, we ought to do pretty well next year. To me, Thunderbolts looks soooooooo damned good.
my wishlist has been Taskmaster, Yelena, and Bob since knowing the cast, and I would like US Agent since I held out for this version (with shield basically), but of course it's tempting to just get the whole cast. I can't do that anymore but... We'll see if they even make the whole cast.
I think it looks pretty good too. Lots of fun, and maybe a slightly darker tone, which I'm all for. Maybe like Marvel's Suicide Squad, if done right. I'd definitely take a new Yelena, since I offloaded my Black Widow one, and never got the Hawkeye. I still have Red Guardian and US Agent, so unless their figures are really different, I'm good there. Same with Bucky. But I'd totally take a new Taskmaster and Ghost (I was among the camp of those who didn't mind Taskie's first costume), and a Bob. A Valentina would be fun too.
From here on out, unless it's a project I'm really excited for, or a character we don't have yet, I'm gonna be much more picky-choosy and patient with my Legends. Gotta wait to see how much I like any given character or outfit first.
I wish Ghost and Taskmaster had better costumes for this film, the new figures for US Agent, Yelena, Red Guardian and Sentry will be welcomed.
I really dig Taskmaster's costume,definite improvement over the last one. Ghost I think I like more too, though I really liked her original one.
Yelena, the second one was way better than the original but I'm hoping a new one blows her Hawkeye figure away.
I dunno, maybe I will just get less star wars next year to get the whole cast. I'm assuming I'll be getting five figures from Fantastic Four as well.
I'm looking forward to the movie but would probably only buy a Valentina figure.
That's one thing I'm seeing... those who only want one or some, don't seem to ever agree on who they're wanting. So seems like the entire cast needs to be a wave. Skip the BAF, have Valentina be a Target exclusive or something, then a wave of Yelena, Red Guardian, US Agent, Bucky, Ghost, Taskmaster, and Bob.
Thunderbolts looks great, and I am hoping we get a full wave for that movie.
Man, I'm torn - I think Thunderbolts looks very much like my kind of MCU film but I'm also SUPER happy with the versions we got of the cast so far. It would be nice to see them support the film with a wave though.

If they give Thunderbolts a wave, I'll gladly take back 40% of the things I've said about Hasbro the last year.
I do like Ghost's new look, but like you said, I'm super happy with her first costume. Some of the others, I think fans can be happy with the versions they have. I'm still not sure if I'll get Red Guardian and Bucky, but I sold my Taskmaster when I saw the concept art for the team in this movie, and I actually like what's on screen even more than that concept art. So she and Sentry Bob are the absolute must-haves for me.
I mostly want a full wave not for the new designs, but better chance someone like Valentina gets made. If it just like....3 figures like the DP3 wave, then we will only get Yelena, Bucky, and maybe US Agent.
With the way this movie has had it's scheduling yanked all over the place, it would be so much easier for Hasbro to do it as a self-contained wave. And they also will have had a year to get them made.
But... Yelena is on clearance, US Agent is on clearance, Ghost is still on clearance five years later! Taskmaster and Red Guardian sold pretty well? Bucky is still available at Ollie's. I guess JLD really does have to carry the team.
Thunderbolts* is the first thing to get me really excited about MCU again. I anticipate some inevitable tie ins with Captain America: Brave New World. I do hope they get around to making figures of the entire team, but I must be missing something.. who is Bob? Trailer is the first time I've heard of this character.
