maybe Uncanny X-Force Kurt if they do update Betsy, Warren, etc...

They made comments about adding to that team, and wasn't there a leak about X-Force Archangel, X-23, and Warpath coming?

Beyonder! Both he and Titania look fantastic.

I wish the balance had been a little more even between new and redo. I'm still in for the entire wave. Iron Man coming with the classic Secret Wars gun is a cool touch. I wish they'd give him the articulated repulsor hands instead of the preposed ones. 

Captain America not coming with a second undamaged shield is the worst decision of the entire wave. I love the damaged shield inclusion but it would have elevated the package to have both.

AF 15 Spidey is my favorite Spider-Man body so getting a black costume on that body works for me. Love the squintier eyes.

Love the lenticular shield inclusions.

Given the haircut, the tease has to be a JJJ mask for the rumored Retro Chameleon to hold.

@basil-elks Hope you're right! super excited with the possibility of X-Men 1,2 and 3 figures.

Overall it was ASS. Star Wars: another Luke Skywalker. Marvel: Another Cap.

My expectations were low, but this is even worse.

Happy to see Vulture, Classic Iron Man, Beyonder and Black Costume Spider-Man on a new body. But thats it...like four figures. A lot of collectors already have them.

Broken shield for classic Cap AGAIN is just lame.

There was and it said nothing about Uncanny X-Force Wolfsbane either who was on the team at one point.  As I remember the leak was about Warpath and X-23.  I think grey Archangel was coming on his own.

That's a pretty nice FU for releasing that Captain america 2 times in a row in a premium price format, and NOT having a WHOLE, clean, unbroken shield for it.

Also, what, is that like 9 of that Iron Man mold without a hinged repulsor hand? Terrible.

 

On the bright side, Titania looks good?

They going to put comic Chameleon in a stupid looking costume on a retro card  instead of the Animated one...

I'm pretty stoked for the Secret Wars wave, but why..WHY do they insist on giving red/yellow Iron Mans a !@#$ blue arc reactor? That annoys me.

Now that they made a Beyonder they absolutely have to make a Mephisto for when he vomited maggots onto the Beyonder. Because Mephisto vomited maggots onto the Beyonder in order for them to eat him alive.

 

In a kid's comic.

 

Because the 80s were awesome.

Well I said way back that if they busted out a Beyonder and Titania, they could do what they wanted with the rest of the wave. So, fair enough Hasbro! Very happy to get both of them and just as happy to skip the rest (though Iron Man’s skates are a hoot).

I knew Dan would win the vote, being as he’s the team’s biggest X fan. I was pulling for Dwight.

Fingers crossed we see some Capcom stuff at NYCC (Shuma in particular).

It's going to be an expensive group of pre-orders for me today! I'll do my order for Dragon Man, 1 maybe 2 Kangs, that animated Spidey 2-pack and 4 of the 6 Secret Wars figures (skipping Spidey and Wolvie). I was thinking that I was originally going to skip the Secret Wars figs altogether, but they pulled me in with Beyonder and Titania for sure and I think that I'm going to bite on Cap and Tony (not Tony) also even though I'm really getting tired of buying multiple versions of the same characters, but pinless tech sold me on those 2.

Yeah, I didn't see anything about Wolfsbane either, nor was I even aware she was on that team heh.
