I'm actually stoked for this wave. Yes, I would have replaced a few of the characters with others or gone with different costumes - but getting Lilith, Son of Satan, Dracula, WCA Moon Knight and an updated Blackheart in one go is pretty awesome.
I also got the updated Moon Knight shipping ETA, though mine says October 23rd.
And as others have said, as much as I wish otherwise, I'm past the point of getting characters in costumes I don't want just as placeholders. Those days are done. If it's not the outfit I want, then I'll do without.*
*- Except for Asgardians. I'll buy the crap out of those no matter what.
Xcorpeo has some good reviews of the wave up on YouTube.
Mostly looking forward to this wave. Especially Dracula, Hellstrom, and Blackheart. But Lilith and Hellverine look very cool.
I don't like Lilliths head. The forehead just goes up. I know that's the character design, but I think it looks bad in that too. So I doubt I'll get her at any point.
Got updated shipping dates from Amazon for October 15th and 23rd — although in my experience, that means they’ll ship even earlier (likely by early October).
I’m particularly excited for Blackheart, Lilith, and Dracula. Also, really like that they’re coming in time for Halloween. Hasbro is doing a decent job having multiple Halloween/horror releases like the MCU Man-Thing and movie Venom/Carnage figures.

No Asgardian collection is complete without Gudrun the Golden
I want Blackheart, but I just can't bring myself to buy this Wave. I had the entire set pre ordered, but I cancelled all but one. I want Dracula, so I kept my pre order for him.
But Lilith and Daimon just don't mean anything to me. I have a Brother Voodoo, and I don't like that Vampire Storm at all. Moon Knight and Wolverine, I might get. But I don't really need them. I have a few Moon Knights, and there isn't much different with this new one except the gold accent pieces on the attire.
Then I have so many Wolverines, and while this one is cool, I don't know if it's anything I have to have.
So, 7 figures that cost $186 after tax for mostly figures I don't want or need, just to get Blackheart. Or $26.80 for Dracula who I do want.
I went with Dracula, and maybe I can get Blackheart cheaper than I would have had out of all 7 figures. if not, no big deal.

I would 1000% take that guy! I love those old Hostess ads. I even came up with a couple of my own for my Taranis comic series.
The only figure in this wave I'm buying is Moon Knight. With those gold highlights he'll look great on my West Coast Avengers shelf.
The Moon Knight figure I have up there now can move over to the Defenders shelf.
As for the rest of this wave, nope. I will wait until we get classic versions of Dracula, Son of Satan, Brother Voodoo and Lilith. Until then, I'm saving money.

I know you know this SDC since you're a Marvel history whiz, but for the benefit of others who might not: this Lilith isn't a modern/90's version of Dracula's daughter. This Lilith is a different character, the "Mother of All Demons" depicted as she first appeared in the 90's Ghost Rider series. I loved that run, and I'm excited to be getting some supporting characters (bring on trenchcoat Blaze, Blackout, and Deathwatch next!).
I *also* want a classic Lilith Dracula and the others you mentioned - I'm hoping they see the demand for a more classic Strange Tales/Marvel Horror figure lineup and bring some forward soon.
Amazon is starting to change the ship date for these. Looks like at least Dracula, Hellverine, and Bloodstorm will be here next week.

My problem is how thin her hair is and the fact that they gave her pupils when she should just have whited out eyes like Storm
Anyone who ends up with BloodStorm slap the 97 mohawk head on her and show us all if the skin tone matches. At least she might make for a punk Storm for those that don't already own one.
