@thor-el he seemed pretty hype about Jack and also had that look of you know what you’re asking for lol. But he’s on the list so that’s great news.

Could you ask them about the chances of an actual ML Titanium Man? It’s been my dream for so long.

Wish I could go to NYCC. I was actually in NYC just a couple days ago. Missed it by that much.

Jack and Stingray are my two biggest Avengers wants, so that is great to hear that he's on the radar! Definitely want the full-on classic look in all its garishness and will accept no substitutes!

Thanks for the reports, all. Really like hearing the behind the scenes info, and glad to hear the team is still enthusiastic about the line even with some recent challenges and setbacks. When the figures are on they are worth every bit of the standard MSRP, and in general I feel like we get many more hits than misses.

@benha Please ask if any classic Angel and classic X-Factor Marvel Girl are on the horizon! Thank you!

@benha I hate asking about specific characters and such, but in general I have questions about unmade Phase 1 and 2 MCU villains. In particular Whiplash and Malekith. I doubt they will say they're making them (but I would like to know how likely it is they will ever be made) but more my questions is if they plan in the future to do something more Phase 1 or Phase 1/2 focused to hit some of those figures since those phases happened before Legends got heavy into movie figures. Also, the Infinity Saga line, will that be on going? If so, will we get previously unmade characters in it and not just repaints/alternate looks for characters we already have?

My biggest regret from yesterday was that I wore my nerdiest t-shirt (because I don’t cosplay). It has MODOK’s face huge on the front (so my arms and legs are his). I forgot to unzip my hoodie the entire time.

Haven't you all had your fill? 😆 

Haha, truthfully I'm kind of ambivalent about that version of Psylocke The only reason I'd be interested in a redo of the Lee costume is because I sold my Apocalypse wave Betsy and a new version would be a lot cheaper than replacing the OG. She does need some presence on my X-shelf, however, so I'd happily buy a different version - preferably the second one shown here:

It is wild that we're this far into the line without a classic Angel (not counting the FA TRU boxset)

@tsi im going to break down and get magik online, I’m going to ask today if they will re release anytime soon. I came to nycc looking for an archangel at a reasonable price and I have found nothing. But I got a lotta figures for good deals so I’m hype. I walked by an x23 for 40 and found her for 20 two minutes later.

Trouble for me is I don't like that Magik costume. I'm also hoping for something with double-jointed elbows. Either her New Mutants look or one of the later costumes that homaged her New Mutants look.

That Archangel figure is tough to come by. If you're okay with Angel's blue/red and white duds, leaks seem to indicate that we'll be getting one next year.

I'm looking for her second or last costume. I like several of her post-ninja outfits, but the Asian race-swapping thing is weird at best.

I'm curious if there is any hope of additional AoA characters ever getting released whether via 2/multi packs or fan channel since there are still some important omissions like Storm, Gambit & Mr Sinister.  The consensus seems to be that the full waves of them performed poorly.

Thanks for that, Norm! I'm ready to have my mind blown! I'm sure most of what they're referring to are comic figs, but I hope a few MCU wishlist figs are able to be checked off as well.

@benha Please ask about High Evolutionary and Gamora from GOTGv3 - if they are coming or should we spend money making customs to fill out the shelf.

Also, if there are any limitations in what/when/how they can revisit past films/TV series. So we can set our expectations and budgets accordingly - either make a custom or pay for the original version!

Thanks for asking some of my questions already! I have a few more...

- Can you ask about the long-standing comic vs MCU situation and if that's the reason we haven't seen comic versions of characters like Mantis, Nebula, Wong, Skurge, Attuma, M'Baku, America Chavez that already have MCU figures or future characters like Starfox, Pip the Troll, Swordsman and Echo - maybe they have a "cannot make in comic form" because of the conflict?

- Is Swarm too complex and costly?

-For a character like Firebird that has two distinct costumes (classic and modern) - who on the entire team (Hasbro/Disney/Marvel) usually votes classic and who usually votes modern?

-Speaking of Firebird - it only takes three more figures to complete the West Coast Avengers roster - Firebird, Living Lightning and Jim Hammond Human Torch... hint hint...

-Are Western characters like Red Wolf, Two-Gun Kid, Rawhide Kid, Phantom Rider and Kid Colt on anyboys radar?
