Didn't think about Doctor Druid being a possibility for this wave but it makes sense. He is one of my most wanted characters in Legends.
While I think it's a weird spot to get him, this Fantastic Four fan really hopes to get the Wizard sooner rather than later. If not here, then I hope maybe a Frightful Four Amazon pack around the release of the MCU movie.
Werewolf by Night, classic Dracula, and classic Baron Mordo would also be awesome.
From Entertainment Earth's DropZone for May 22:
You'll marvel at this upcoming launch - we don't want to keep you in suspense, but the tale of its specifics can't be shared early. So sign up for a reminder and we'll tell you more as soon as it goes live!
I'm reading that as a "Tales of Suspense" wave; "Strange Tales" is close enough. As long as we get some cool figures, I don't care what the branding is.
Whoa, and here I was about to post that this wave wouldn't exist, because it was mis-read as something else.
Pretty awesome that we won't have to wait long to find out what it is.

I did wonder if maybe there had been a mix up somewhere and this is actually Tales of Suspense. Unless that was a roundabout tease towards something more Iron Man related, such as the Hulkbuster?
A supernatural themed Strange Tales wave would be perfect though. I'd really like to see a more modern Doctor Strange design (although realise that's fairly unlikely).
Something similar to this:
Although maybe they'd go with a re-colour of the deluxe version to make a first appearance Strange?
I also prefer Brother Voodoo's Strange Academy look:
A modern Dauterman Scarlet Witch would also be great (if it's just a catch-all supernatural wave):
Plus any supernatural monsters. Dracula, Werewolf by Night, Frankenstein... Mr Knight?
I feel like a Dr Strange themed wave would be a bit too similar to the Mindless One wave, which wasn't too far back. A more horror based wave could be different enough from that wave. The Zabu wave is definitely a mixed-theme wave, so I'm sure this one will be too. Iron Man just got a retro wave, so an Iron Man themed Tales of Suspense wave seems too soon. Although Hulkbuster Iron Man will certainly be announced soon-ish, but I think using "tales" and "suspense" would be an odd way to hint at it. SHIELD could use some stuff, like Scorpio, but a SHIELD 3pk just hit. Whatever a Tales of Suspense or Strange Tales wave is, it'll certainly be drawing from a few different corners of the MU, much like the Zabu wave.
A leaked listing specifically says Strange Tales, time stamp 2:57.
NEWS - Marvel Legends X-Men Phoenix (youtube.com)
But Hasbro could have certainly combined Strange Tales and Tales of Suspense.
Notable character debuts in TOS - Iron Man, Mandarin, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Melter, Unicorn, Scarecrow, Ultimo, Edwin Jarvis, Pepper Potts, Happy Hogan, Sharon Carter
Although they didn't debut in TOS, Captain America and The Watcher were mainstays.
The leaked list is a typo - it's a Strange TAILS wave.
Lockjaw BAF incoming.
Totally down for that -
I tried to do a cross section of Marvel. This list could easily have been filled with X characters.
Feral
Stegron
Hepzibah
Death Adder
Talon - love me some Inhumans and GOTG members!
Azazel
Scorpion
BAF - Lockjaw
LOVE IT. I started to do this last night but just went with my lazy pun instead. That's a winning wave right there!
I’m not sure how much he ever appeared in Strange Tales, if at all, but if we’re getting a vaguely Dr. Strange themed wave, then there’s a clear cut choice for a BAF:
But also, the Wizard is in my top 10, so please, shoehorn him into this wave.
Blackheart is the only character from those original two series of Marvel Legends Upper Deck trading cards that hasn't been released or teased (Mephisto was EoV bait). It's gotta happen eventually.
I’d love to get Baron Mordo, Blackheart, and Wizard.
I really hope it isn't a Dr. Strange heavy wave. The movie wave stunk up the shelves and can still be found "a plenty" at Ollie's. While a couple of Dr. Strange related characters would be fine, I would hope they try a more catch all type of wave with a couple of unexpected (new) characters. Since Strange Tales had so many characters appear it really could be almost any kind themed wave.
I guess my worry is also around them taking the safe route and giving us a wave with a bunch of minor repaints of big name characters.
Maybe we'll get some news around SDCC.
We might find out sooner than that! Hoping this hint from EE is as obvious as it seems.
