I want a pinless Aussie brown and tan Wolverine from that episode Pryde of the Xmen. Oh waitβ¦..
I need Emplate and Orphanmaker figures,Β STAT!! 😋Β

That would be awesome.Β Those were great toys.Β Maybe there's an X-Men 2099 episode as well 🙂Β
Β
I am thinking my long awaited Cable is sculpted already based on that Dan Yun post.Β This is awesome.Β From the episode I also want Glob and Exodus.Β I honestly hoped Armor or Rockslide appeared.

Rogue and Wolverine from this wave are being bid up to crazy prices now that they're sold out and people like the show.Β Think BBTS gets them back in?Β My crystal ball says yes.
I dunno, but Hasbro definitely missed the boat if they don't do additional reprints of wave1.Β To also coincide with the new show's release.Β Β
The demand is there.Β This is the stuff that people want.Β Lots of people didn't get a chance to buy the first wave.Β You can't be making 150+ figures per year and then not restocking the main line stuff that customers actually want.Β

Tell that to their supposed big seller MCU stuff that are missing villans, important characters, and just now getting repack or redux of figures from older movies people have been asking for for years. Hasbro will absolutely leave that money out there. Then in 10 years we'll get a repack or recolor wave on new cards with anniversary as the reason.
I would bet they'll reissue wave 1, maybe time it to come after the third wave in between seasons along with any other in-demand figures from the line. Though I have to imagine Hasbro is a little salty with their retail partners who had all of wave 1 on clearance for the holidays. And I'm assuming it's not their fault it hit stores so far ahead of the show's premiere since it was originally slated to premiere in fall 2023.Β
Maybe they just gotta pay attention to what's most in demand. They wouldn't really need to reissue ALL of wave one, just Rogue and Wolverine. Put them in a refresher case with a new assortment, or popular figures from wave 2 like Cyclops and Nightcrawler.
Last episode was pretty amazing!Β
And the Rogue figure is great. I really like the new head sculp and the pinless knees.
Exodus would be a cool choice for this line. He had a big fight with War Machine which would be fun to recreate.Β
I had that comic! X-Force twenty...something I think.Β Hasbro got screwed with the timing of Season/Series 1 but so happy the show and line are doing great.Β Probably the best Marvel thing going.Β I regret passing on Wolverine initially.Β My figure spending was down and hadn't been in on Legends for some time.Β Whoops.Β Β

Hasbro could always just put them on pulse. Iβve always thought it was stupid to not have a standard version of the big name characters available at all times.

Grabbed Nightcrawler off of Amazon the other day. I had been hoping to run into this figure at retail to make a decision on if I wanted it knowing it was more likely than not I'd end up buying it. After last week's episode, I was slightly worried about a run on Nightcrawler so I just grabbed it while it's still in-stock. Solid figure, though the accessory loadout is quite sparse. I wish the neutral default portrait had a more exaggerated smile than it does as it's more neutral than anything. I also don't understand why Nightcrawler would have less articulation than Spider-Man, but I knew that going in.
Anyone else resisting the impulse to custom a Sunspot? I'm eyeing my VHS Peter Parker like he's fresh meat... But he's too tall and his jacket doesn't have the collar... and I don't have a head (though a Power Rangers one is close)... and also, I KNOW Hasbro is going to make this figure...
I'd wait honestly. Like you said, they will almost assuredly do one in wave 3, or if we get one, wave 4.

I only think about customizing the most super-niche characters.Β They make everything eventually.
If you can't find a use for that Peter, I'm interested.

A little late posting, but it's nice he's addressing the want for more '97 figures.
