What time is it, in New York, now?
It’s 4:12, I’ve been here an hour, and I haven’t even found the ML team. They’re not set up in the Marvel space like last year when I stumbled on them. They might be getting set for the panel in an hour.
@panthercult - Ah, okay, thanks for the answer. I do wish I could ask Hasbro if they could make a "Marvel Legends: The Incredible Hulk" wave of figures, especially a Retro wave in 2026 for the animated series' 30th anniversary year. I think a Hulk wave is more possible than people give it credit for, though. Think about it. You could have a "Avengers" #1 Hulk, since the Jack Kirby Hulk with purple shorts is smaller in height than his popular savage self, along with a new Bruce Banner (maybe with alternate "transforming" limbs or an alternate head with green eyes), figures of allies like She-Hulk, Doc Samson and/or Jarella with normal human sized villains like General Ross, Metal Master, Tyrannus, Ringmaster, the Leader, Boomerang, Nightmare and Constrictor. It can be done and it'd be a great way to finally get figures of lesser-known villains like Ringmaster and Tyrannus and long-requested figures like Nightmare and Falcon. Heck, I'd even take figures of Lou Ferrigno's Hulk and Bill Bixby's David Banner.
So after all that, I'd love for Hasbro to instead get asked if Hasbro has plans to make more "Marvel Legends" human-sized allies and villains from "The Incredible Hulk" comic books for fans to collect?
P.S. Have fun at Comic Con, @normdapito!
@normdapito Dan Yun tweeted previously that Ryan would hanging out at the Pop Insider Booth No, 1829, so I don't know if that's different than Marvel's regular booth or Hasbro's booth...
Regarding the Hulk:
Another potential factor is this: maybe a year or two after MCU Tony died in Endgame, Ryan said in a livestream (I want to say when the villain wave was revealed and I'm heavily paraphrasing this) that they can start making comic related Iron Man toys again because the MCU Iron Man's "story had concluded". We've gotten continuous Iron Man product since including dedicated waves.
Maybe haven't gotten any Retro or BAF waves dedicated to Hulk, Thor or Cap because their stories are still ongoing cinematically, even swapping out Steve for Sam since it's still Cap-related.
Just a thought...

After I had posted, I stumbled on that booth, more exactly, the X-Men ‘97 teaser display. Now I’m in line for the panel, which is at least 100 people deep at the moment.

Yeah, maybe when Spider-Man finally phases out of the MCU they'll ramp up Spider-Man figures in Legends again finally...
I honestly don't think that's a thing. We got tons of comic based Iron Man figures factored into waves all during the MCU's life span. Heck, we even got them shoe-horned into other characters MCU waves (Shang Chi anyone) There was no shortage of Iron Man in Marvel Legends during the MCU Avengers Saga. I think that's Ryan just trying to talk up the new retro wave
I don’t think I’ll get around to asking any of these questions one on one, guys. Sorry!
I take it there's no live casting of this
I've been hunting for a feed to no avail
@normdapito Just enjoy your time at the con, NORM! No need to apologize to anyone...
room was packed couldn’t get in 🙁
hopefully the guys are there tomorrow on the floor
That GI Joe Polar Bear would look good with ML Snowbird
