PulseCon 2024 - expectations, surprises, wishlists...

Maybe we'll see a full body classic Madcap reveal? O:)

We’ll probably see something more of Dragon Man.

I’d love to get some confirmation of the Marvel vs Capcom figures since the game drops next week.

All I want to see is that sexy Dragon Man come in below $70.00.

I suspect Dan will be back solo hosting.

If Crystal and Lockjaw are $70 there's no way Dragon Man is less than $85-100+. I would LOVE to be wrong though!

I've accepted the Secret Wars wave is going to be mostly (if not totally) repaints of figures we already have. They could get me with a classic Iron Man again though if they actually got all the colors right this time, like the chest unibeam, and included an 80s Rhodey head. Not the 90s high-top fade we already have but the 80s short afro. Other than that I'd be happy with just one of the following: Titania, Volcana, classic Falcon, Beyonder (white jumpsuit preferred but armored is cool too), Szaji, 80s green jumpsuit Wasp, Absorbing Man, or any of the Wrecking Crew.

Hopefully there are some fun surprise reveals that haven't been leaked yet!

I’d like an update on Giant-Man, but aside from that I can’t fathom a guess. Secret Wars line seems plausible. But beyond that I don’t want to psyche myself up hoping for any Asgardian stuff then get disappointed. So whatever they show, they show. 

I'd love to see a whole movie figure shown!!!

The Secret Wars wave is a given, as Entertainment Earth has it going up for preorder on Friday.

i imagine some of those rumored 2pks get revealed.  

they won’t show too much as they like to spread out reveals.  

Kang is a Secret Wars deluxe tie-in. That’s my prediction.

My wishlist is that we get 2 Secret Wars waves.
One is mass market with the obvious A-listers.

The other is all collector stuff like Titania and Volcana and disco Jim Shooter Beyonder .

Titania & Absorbing Man 2-pack

If I get a reasonably-sized Absorbing Man out of this, I will let that Titania go for pennies.

I'm curious how much will be shown at PulseCon, since I think they have some reveals at New York Comic Con next month.  Entertainment Earth DID list the figures for "Secret Wars" as "Wave 1" in that photo, so whoever we don't get in the first wave, I hope they get to appear in Wave 2, if there IS a Wave 2.  No doubt "Secret Wars" will sell well, so who knows for sure?

As for which characters make the cut, I could see it being Captain America, Wolverine, red-and-blue suit Spider-Man, Iron Man, Magneto and Doc Ock or Doctor Doom to match the characters from the first wave of Mattel's 1984 toyline.  Doctor Octopus needs a solo release with a new body mold and the bendable wire tentacles, the Marvel Legends team did tease wanting to make a pinless Cap figure previously, and folks complained about the "X-Men '97" Magneto figure.  I don't see Kang making the cut due to his recent figure, but I could be wrong.  I'd love to see some Easter eggs for the figures, like a Jim Rhodes head for Iron Man, alternate hands with black claws for Wolverine, and a black symbiote ball for Spider-Man.  If we get a Wave 2, I hope they go with the Mattel toyline's roster and make figures for Hobgoblin, Falcon and Daredevil.  Then again, I wouldn't object to new two-packs of characters like Thor with Enchantress, Hulk with She-Hulk, black costume Spider-Man with the Lizard, and the Absorbing Man with Titania.  "Secret Wars" or not, I hope Hasbro has plans for a new sold-separately classic Thor.  It's been a while since he got an update. 

I couldn't even guess correctly what all Hasbro will reveal, but as far as wishlists, I'd love to see more X-Men and Retro Spider-Man figures, more two-packs, a new "X-Men '97" wave and some more "Generation X" figures (I'm rooting for White Queen, Banshee and Jubilee).  I'd also love some '90s costumes for characters, like a Gold Team or Acolyte suit release for Colossus, the 1995 "opera gloves" suit for Invisible Woman (not the two-piece version), and the brown Pantheon-era jumpsuit look for a Deluxe Merged Hulk.  As always, I'd love to see more figures for the Hulk and hopefully a Retro Toy Biz box art wave of "The Incredible Hulk".  I'd love to see figures for characters like the Leader in his orange-and-black suit, the Ringmaster, Tyrannus, the U-Foes, and any suits for She-Hulk and Doc Samson.  A new classic savage green Hulk with butterfly shoulder joints, alternate clapping hands, and new head sculpts with better expressions (and hair) as a Deluxe release would also be very much appreciated, please, Hasbro.

Two years ago they revealed an X-Men retro wave at Pulsecon. I'd like to see that again.

I'm not fool enough to enter a con/livestream with expectations.

I predict that they'll reveal some new figures. 😉 😛 😆
