It is apparently a retool of the BAF.
Wait, we can have more than one thread for MCU stuff?!
Not bad. I think I like the BAF more though. The optional fists are what might tempt me.
I dig it. But it makes me REALLY hope we get any version of Werewolf by Night himself (and maybe an MCU Elsa?) to go with him. One of the coolest little projects the MCU has done, IMO.
Werewolf By Night logo but no Werewolf by Night...
Maybe the MCU version will be a surprise reveal, like at SDCC.
Maybe the comic version is in the Strange Tales wave.
Hopefully we'll get at least one of them soon...
Just snagged this off Facebook.
The MCU version has an extra set of hands.
The paint job is loads better, but I prefer the hands and shins on the original. Shame they kept the tiny little grass loincloth too. Don’t think it’s enough to make me buy again.
I’d definitely be down for a Select Man Thing - feels like a character they’d be able to absolutely knock out of the park.
And yes, bring on Werewolf by Night, either in MCU or comic flavour. Maybe as part of the Strange Tales wave?

Thanks for the pic. The head, torso, forearms and shins are apparently the other new bits.
I like the variety of colors on the MCU one but the depth of colors and facial sculpt of the comic one.
Makes me really want MCU Jack Russell and Elsa Bloodstone.
They absolutely have enough to fill another D+ wave now, even without including unlikely supporting characters.
I know it's apples and oranges, but even Lego made a Jack Russell minifig. It's gotta at least be a possible option for Legends. Maybe in the Strange Tales wave? (I want both an MCU and comics version so I'm an easy mark for a WbN figure in any form.)
This figure really highlights how Man-Thing is a top tier effort keeping the comic book version true to form on screen, great movie adaptation of a very weird character design.

Oh, easily for sure!
However I don't think those waves had sold too well, so I'm under the impression that they likely won't be doing any more. I know that I remember picking up a ton of Agatha/Kingpin/Talos/Yelena as fodder for around $7 each. I also remember seeing both Disney+ Hawkeyes and Ms Marvel from that Infinity Ultron wave on clearance everywhere for what seemed like forever. The Watcher BAF wave was deep clearance as well with Heist Nebula, T'Challa Star Lord, Sylvie, etc. So, yeah - I won't be surprised if those are done.
But of course now that I've said that, they'll announce a wave of them later this week.....

If so, then I appreciate you putting it out there and being wrong for the rest of us.
When does it go live? Is it an exclusive?
