Maybe Hasbro thinks Power Princess will sell well on her own because everyone who wants a Marvel Legends-style Wonder Woman will buy two - one for PP, one to custom.

Just hope they don't leave another team-completing female character unmade... for years.

More Squadron is great news! If the listing specifies Blur instead of Whizzer it seems likely they’re doing the modern McGuinness Squadron.

Or it could be they just don’t want to put “Marvel’s the Whizzer” on the box…

Here's hoping Power Princess finds her way to our shelves via Pulse exclusive or some other wave/2-pack.

Kinda sad, but I just realized they probably planned these modern Squadron sets to coincide with the Mephisto figure they assumed we would be getting this year.

It would be like if Galactus hadn't funded but we still got Firelord and Terrax/Fallen One anyway.

A proper Power Princess buck would sell gangbusters for collectors and customizers.

No interest in the Squadron Supreme, but a 6" Wonder Woman for my MAFEX DC shelf is a must-have.

I’m in for any Squadron Supreme. Loved reading about them in the Official Marvel Handbook back in the day. If the rumors are true, I definitely hope that Power Princess gets made as well. She was cool in the Avengers Assemble animated series, too.

Their core four were so great in their respective moments on the show. Among my favorite episodes were their features.

I figure what makes sense is to do the modern 5 first. Then Hickman Hyperion,

And eventually a boxed set of the Gruenwald miniseries core team.

And then you can lace in more characters and maybe store exclusive "first appearance" takes.

There's a lot of buzz lately about the Squadron being in the Multiverse Saga somewhere. There have been rumors about What If...?, Thunderbolts, and/or Loki.

As for Mephisto, I think there's serious talk he'll be in the Agatha series and possibly get his own Special Presentation.

Probably in the minority, but I would like to see this version of Power Princess:

That way, it's a not that big of a jump to get a classic Moonstone:

At a listed 6'8" Power Princess should have nearly a foot on Moonstone so the reuse might be limited if they do them properly! PP would be more at home on a She-Hulk sized body, which we desperately need a new and improved version of anyway.

I was thinking mainly about the head being used between the two but if they properly scaled PP, then that head would be too big to re-use for Moonstone.
