Damnation.  The ROM wave was supposed to be up for sale at the end of this month. 

i just texted my cousin-in-law.  I’m demanding to know the whereabouts of the Greatest of the Spaceknights!

 

Well, I’m right here.   
oh, you meant the comic ones.  
~sigh~ the real ones are never appreciated….😝

No offense to anyone, but this site rots worse than a Dire Wraith Queen’s expired naughty bits. 

Anyway, here’s the latest info I got:

 

“Hey! Not sure how I missed your last text! Hope you had a good thanksgiving too!

Bad news on the space front, having some production delays so ROM is going to be a little later (May instead of April) but other than that no new exciting news at the moment. Had a cool Spider-Man wave go -live for preorder today but that’s about it!

Thanksgiving was nice too. Very low key this year which I’m ok with.

And seems like it’s an issue with the factory just not being able to produce enough on time. Doesn’t sound like a quality issue. Good news is I’ll be able to get you a sample well before the release in May.

Hahaha you and me both! The whole wave is gonna be awesome. Got a few more spiderman waves later this year and a fantastic 4 wave. Haven’t seen any of them yet but excited!”

 

If it seems a bit disjointed, it’s cuz I left out all my replies/comments. 

We’ll see if he comes through for me as far as that sample!

Thanks for sharing! Really excited to see this wave when it's ready.

Fantastic Four and a few more Spider-Man waves next year matches with the rumors we've seen (MCU FF wave, Friendly Neighborhood wave, Gamerverse wave). Hopefully some comic goodies to go along with the FF movie.

Any chance your cousin can be bribed to get the ML team to make our favorites? I've got a cool $10 bill for him if he can get Jack of Hearts out in 2026.

My pleasure!  I’m happy to share what I can. 🙂

I agree; what I was told lines up with what we’ve read/heard about recently.  I too hope for some comic based FF figures. 

I’ll send him a text about Jack of Hearts right away.  While he’s not one of the major decision makers as far as who gets made, he definitely has a direct line to friends and co-workers who do.  

Hmmm… Maybe I’ll mention classic ‘70s Captain Britain to him along with Jack. 🙂 I love that costume. I just bought the old Bowen mini-bust of it after having sold off my original several years ago.

If you could throw in the Fwoosh "Big Three" - Skurge, Attuma and M'Baku - that would be amazing!!!!! (and Mantis & Swordsman...) 😊

Amazing! 70s Captain Britain is also a great ask that I'd love to see. I'll spare you another 1000 requests, but that's awesome.

Rom is a once in a lifetime ultimate wishlist achivement, so the wait feels interminable, but it'll be worth it.

Y’all joke about bribery but I would actually go a pretty fair distance, financially, if it guaranteed that the ML team would crank out a nice classic Gene Colan Dracula. I’m not gonna say how much, but it would be a pretty damn fair distance.

Here’s what I wrote, minus some family and other geek stuff.  I’ll let ya all know what I hear. 🙂

 

Hey! One of the major toy groups online came up with a list of some comic based characters they’d love to see as Hasbro Marvel Legends. I figured (no pun intended) that I would share a few of the top choices with you:

1970s Classic Captain Britain
Jack of Hearts
Stingray
Kurse
Warriors Three
Skurge
Attuma
M'Baku
Mantis
Swordsman

@hulkster1 Bless you for including M'baku.    Hopefully someday I'll have that giant white furred man ape in my collection

I sent my text right before I saw your post re: Drac. Otherwise I’d have included him.  I will next time.

My pleasure!  That would make for a very striking figure. 

Here’s a little fun fact: I wrote the “Then and Now” text for Randy Bowen’s line of mini-busts for several years. I wrote the text for over the last 140 busts. I’d have to check to see how many I wrote. Anyway, the mighty M’Baku was one piece that I really enjoyed writing up. I had a lot of fun doing those.  Sigh… How time flies.

You are awesome!

Can we all imagine if there was a wave and a few box sets in 2026 with this list (adding in Dracula)?

This would decimate my Top 10 list...

Avengers BAF wave:

1970s classic Captain Britain

Stingray

Jack of Hearts

Attuma

Skurge

Female character - Sersi in classic green, Firebird, Diamondback, Marrina, Nikki, Alkhema

Obligatory Big 3 representative (Cap, IM, Thor) - going with Simonson Thor

BAF M'Baku

 

Mantis/Swordsman 2-pack

Deluxe Kurse

Warriors Three boxset

Monsters boxset update - Colan Dracula, Werewolf By Night, Simon Garth, Frankenstein's Monster

It's okay.  We can get Sally Sparrow to speak the parts in between.
