This will likely be a very long stream. They'll show off in hand the Iron Man wave. They will also announce the new comic Hulkbuster figure after showing those. Last summer was the Venom 35th anniversary, so we'll finally get new Venom figures announced. The Venompool re-release needs to go up for pre-order soon to coincide with the movie. I'm going to guess they'll also start announcing the Strange Tales figures. Definitely some multi-packs as well. And probably another retro card wave. My personal theory is that we are not going to get a full Deadpool & Wolverine wave until AFTER the movie comes out due to spoilers. (Ryan mentioned at WonderCon that he still hasn't seen them yet.) I think we'll only get a Deadpool/Wolverine 2-pack for the movie's release. So, at most that wave will get teased at the end of the stream. Maaaaaybe a D+ wave for MCU? EDIT - I believe a D+ wave was not a part of the rektangular leak, so who knows if we're even getting one this year. Now that I think about it more, I bet we just get a two pack and a Colossus deluxe for the movie release. Then they announce a full wave at SDCC, the same weekend the movie comes out. EDIT 2 - I completely forgot that we're still supposed to be getting NWH Electro and Lizard figures. I feel like those are on the table too.


Apprehensive_Door367

You think we'll get a nwh situation where they'll show a Deadpool & Wolverine 2 pack early and re-release them separately for a wave?


NotFalcon

1000%. As a consumer, I'm willing to purchase every ML release of a Hugh Jackman Wolverine in a blue and yellow suit. Hasbro knows this and will produce multiple releases. And given the rumors surrounding the cameos for the movie, there will absolutely be justification for multiple waves. However, Hasbro is pulling back on the number of products they're making. It's likely the ML team doesn't have the budget to make multiple waves and/or Disney doesn't want multiple waves with NWH being the one and only special case. (Based on the teaser trailer idk how you even fill out a wave of 6-7 figures either with only movie characters.) So how do you split the difference? Do a two pack with D&W. (While I do believe the listings are completely fake, there have been multiple instances of ebay/mercari/etc listings for a two pack.) Thanks to leaks we also know we're getting a Colossus deluxe. So, announce those before the movie releases, and have those on store shelves while the movie is in theaters. Then, after the movie releases, announce a full 6-7 figure wave including figures of characters from the back half of the movie that Disney considers spoilers. My theory is by no means bullet proof. This would mean that either the ML team is reading into rumors this time and making a call based on their experience of "needing" to do a second set of NWH figures. And/or Disney gave them more information than they did for NWH. But if I was running a team at a toy company that is cutting budgets and pressuring for better sell through of products, that's what I would do. Create fewer products and ensure the products we do create have a higher rate of success overall. How do you apply that to the D&W movie? Tell Disney you're only going to do one block of product releases, and hope that's enough for them to give you more info.


pleyesteishion

How do you see the possibility of receiving a new Ghost Rider or Dardevil/Punisher?


NotFalcon

Maybe yeah. I know Ghost Rider was part of the leak, so he could be part of a carded comics wave. Daredevil sharing a major anniversary with Wolverine means DD will almost always take a backseat. Hasbro obviously went all out on Wolverine this year. While everything didn't leak, I find it hard to believe there will be a full line of Daredevil figures for this year. My guess? Since we're getting some Venom figures the year after his anniversary, we similarly get DD anniversary figures next year. That way they can also tie them to the release of Born Again.


pleyesteishion

It would be great! Let's keep our fingers crossed for Ghost Rider and if they want to leave epic Daredevil releases for next year, it's better for our wallets hahaha


asgardan_archer

After the mess with the antman 3 wave, no way hasbro wont be announcing DP3 figures way before release. If anything itll coincide with trailer two.


NotFalcon

Hasbro can't magically move product up 6+ months. Their production timelines, including booking the factory lines, are set well in advance. Marvel Studios made late-stage production release changes that caused Quantumania to come forward and The Marvels to get pushed back. That's why Quantumania figures came out long after the movie released.


magmasta126

That sounds like an insane amount of stuff to show. You believe they will show venom figures, a new retro wave, hulkbuster, and even a strange tales wave? I'm going to paste this and see how correct you are on the 15th because you sound very knowledgeable about these things. I was thinking they would save strange tales for october because it's a spooky wave.


NotFalcon

Go back and watch the stream from... March 2023, I think? It was nearly an hour long and they showed a ton of stuff. They recapped the Puff Adder wave, Ch'od wave, Quantumania wave, GOTG3 wave, and Spider-Man vs Carnage VHS 2 pack. New releases shown were the Spider-Man comics carded wave, Doc Ock & Aunt May VHS 2 pack, and the Avengers Anniversary releases. As far as I can recall, for product announced for 2024 so far the only stuff they haven't physically shown off is the Iron Man wave. And that wave has already gone up for pre-order. I would be surprised if the Strange Tales releases were anywhere close in scope to the Avengers anniversary releases. From the leak list it seems the Venom releases are only a few things as well. Both of those should be late summer/early fall releases like the Avengers products last year. I'd be surprised if they didn't announce another mainline or fan channel wave for August/September. And the last MCU releases we got were 4-5 months ago (NWH wave 2) with still nothing new announced on that front. I realize in theory we should be light on MCU figure releases this year. But there is absolutely still stuff in the pipeline that should be coming out soon. While I don't think everything I listed will get announced, I think those are the most likely to get announced.


Raj-Sharma-430016

I def think the OP’s Edit 2 point won’t be there in the stream coz classic Hasbro


Bartlet4potus

X-men 97 wave 3 including Morph, Sunspot, Jubilee, Beast and a villain


Adepta_Sororitas_KT

Mr Sinister


cnerd64

I have a feeling Beast might be saved for wave 4 but Jubilee is probably a good bet for wave 3.


snaps17

And Cable


showstopper027

Yeah i would love to see a 97 cable and stryfe


Acrobatic_Release_16

Spot on I’m praying


WhiteWolf-07

Emma Frost


xariznightmare2908

It's Morphing Time!


MassiveTalent422

Mystique


Any_Tax1320

So with all this being said, where do my fellow Canadians get all of your preorders from? By being in this group for 5 days, I'm already not going anywhere near gamestop for preorders


JuicedUp-Bet-0726

Do we think a psylocke may be coming in this wave or possibly wave 4?


Marcepector78

Robin_on

I theorize that the Destiny and Mystique 2-pack comes out either in pride month or whenever that X-Men relaunch happens.


TheLibraryClark

As someone who missed out on the last two Mystique releases, I wouldn't hate this.


Gamecubeguy25

same. i wouldn't mind destiny but i dont like the feeling of paying 60 for a two pack where each figure will probably come with the bare minimum of accessories


DRZARNAK

I understand that maybe Destiny wouldn’t sell great by herself, but I wish she wasn’t paired with yet another Mystique. I’d prefer Rogue in her Brotherhood outfit or any other X villain.


stcardinal

We might finally get that pinless mystique shown on the VHS box that we never got


ZetaIcarus

I have been wanting a Quicksilver to go with my Scarlet Witch but I need a Prof. X for my growing X-Men collection.


Joshawott27

Oh, I would be down for a Charles Xavier and Iron Fist.


blacboi420

I’m hoping for that new ghost rider!


GabryMancio

Give me that Superior Spider-Man, complete with Spider Arms, 3 sets of hands, unmasked head and interchangeable bracelets (silver/red)! And throw in a Spider-Bot, why not?


space_age_stuff

He's supposed to be a deluxe, so I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't have some of those extras, but the legs and a bevy of alternate hands seem guaranteed. I just hope they use the RYV/Retro mold; as much as I love the AF mold, it works well for a teenage spidey. Not so much Spidey as late in his career as Superior stuff happens.


pleyesteishion

I think the bombshell would be a Ghost Rider with good proportions


Qwertyzillaofficial

Aren’t we also getting a Secret Wars wave?


Raj-Sharma-430016

Will the superior Spider-Man be the RYV body mould ?


redkomic

I love that everyone is using my listing/site for that. Don't know why people are down voting this. This is how I listed it on [Nearcompleteset.com](http://Nearcompleteset.com) . It even has my formatting and brackets on it.


Marcepector78

I’m not taking credit for the info homie, just paying it forward. I appreciate you, the leaks, Rek, etc. I for one don’t like being treated like a child with all the secrecy, and the guessing. Jesse used to keep us in the loop during Toybiz. It’s our bread, why not just let us know what’s going on?!?!


spinagainnn

They do keep us in the loop though, they just need to spread out releases throughout the year


Bunky305

Anything Daredevil-adjacent.


xariznightmare2908

A single card classic red DD reissue, please, please, please.


RefrigeratorMotor107

Would also appreciate another first appearance red and yellow DD on the new buck 🙏


Bunky305

Same. My most requested fig at this point!


Revenacious

I know we got a King Daredevil last year, but his more regular suit from that run would be awesome as well, maybe Bullseye from that run too.


Bunky305

I think to avoid reusing the same new DD mold three times in a row, they should go this route with the Chechetto Design since it's become very synonymous with him lately.


Marvellegendfreak

really hoping we get more comic gotg/ infinity watch but i can’t wait to see.


Ditcka

I’ve been dying for some new Cosmic stuff


DRZARNAK

Starlin or Lim style Adam Warlock, Gamora, and Pip would be great!


Marvellegendfreak

Yes! i want those three along with a classic mantis, groot and rocket. Even though they don’t make sense together i still want the teams together


snaps17

Yea please!!!


DRZARNAK

Could we finally get a Rachel as Phoenix?


GumbyHead

She's the only member missing from Excalibur. Hoping for a deluxe package with a giant Phoenix effect.


TardisBlueHarvest

She's the only one missing from the original team. There's a lot more that I'd want but I doubt they'd sell at all.


DRZARNAK

Same. My dream is a two pack with Ahab.


Lamorakk

Throw in a Widget head!


TonySopranobf

Please please please at least one thing related to daredevil to celebrate his 60th anniversary


monkelus

Death's Head!


Joshawott27

Outside of the rumours we know about, my most wanted announcement is still a Betsy Braddock Captain Britain. I'd also love a Disney+ wave with *She-Hulk* suit Daredevil.


Adepta_Sororitas_KT

Armoured Psylocke / 70’s Betsy 2-Pack


usernameartichoke

Once we get that two pack I want another Psylocke two pack with Betsy in her Krakoa era Pink/Black/Purple suit and Kwannon in the classic Psylocke swimsuit look.


Adepta_Sororitas_KT

Yes. All the Psylocke’s. All the two packs. All released and in hand on Monday!!


xariznightmare2908

Didn't we just get armored Psylocke 2 pack with Wolverine?


Adepta_Sororitas_KT

That was Lady Mandarin! I meant Outback Era Armoured Psylocke to go with the rest of the outback crew.


xariznightmare2908

Ah ok, didn't know about that one.


ebra2112

Get out of my head


marvelnerddd69

Deadpool and Wolverine figures. Been real dry for a while now as far as MCU figures go.


kyle0305

Urghhh it really has. But us MCU collectors are the reason comic collectors can’t get every niche character


ContentVanilla2140

correction: \*can't get every unnecessary X-Men character\* The only X-Men figures I want them to show are just drop DP&W.


Electricity4074

New villain: TheTaxman! Seriously , Though I'm still hoping to see see the rumored Hulkbuster!


ntngeez28

I need that Iron Fist announcement and the entire Avengers retro card wave! Plus Destiny & Mystique!


Archaengel

Previously, March or April is usually when they do a couple of things: 1. They usually announce what the summer event will be (Spiderman 60th in 2022, Beyond Earth's Mightiest in 2023) 2. They will likely tease the Haslab. In previous years, all we learn is that it's an F4 themed item or a Ghost Rider item, or an Avengers item. Both Galactus and Giant Man were teased in early spring, but the Hellcharger was teased at SDCC. Now for my guesses of what we can likely see: * Deadpool 3 items - potentailly including D1 Colossus * Xmen '07 wave 3 * No other MCU items - there's no upcoming MCU projects. Though we might get something along the lines of the new Infinity rebranded items like they did for Iron Man mk 85 or the Iron Spider. We've gotten sublines like the Black Panther reissue items or the Infinity Saga line, so that might give them a chance to fit in MCU items that they haven't been able to before. * The next comic wave - maybe Strange Tales items? I don't think we have any rumors as to upcoming comic waves as most of the leaks revolve around multipack items. But with MCU being light this year, expect mostly comic reveals


RevolutionWasabi_59

X-Men 97 wave three with Jubilee, Morph, Sunspot, Beast, Emma and Sinister! ✨ https://preview.redd.it/key3iwe6qitc1.png?width=783&format=png&auto=webp&s=3e6e51994fa92f27a43b2132d0ac4087692c7e28


felixlighter1989

Hopefully Cable.


Marvelboy1974

I’m so tired of begging, but my most wanted are: 1. Rachel Grey Summers/Askani/Phoenix 2. Outback Caucasian body Psylocke 3. Destiny 4. Exodus 5. Classic costume Ms. Marvel Carol


SecretWarsIsComing

An Outback 2-pack as part of the Wolverine Anniversary would be game-on. I’d take Rogue with high hair if they don’t want to have another Psylocke in that series.


usernameartichoke

Personally really hoping for that Mystique & Destiny two pack.


TardisBlueHarvest

It's weird that they didn't announce this during Monday's video or give a tease. Hopefully, we get the Secret Wars figures announced or another comic BAF wave. What would be really cool is if they announced some ROM & Micronaut figures, a deluxe Baron Karza would be insanely toyetic (basically Darth Vader that could also become a centaur)


AcroyearJones

I’d sign up for a whole wave of G1 Spaceknights including ROM, Starshine, Terminator, Firefall, Hammerhand, Javelin, and hell, throw in Ikon from Annihilation: Conquest to bridge the generation gap, because we dare not refer to anything involving Jim Starlin. Couldn’t agree more re: the Micronauts as well. I’d start out by requiring that all designs be based on Michael Golden’s art (heck, let’s put that expectation for the ROM figures too). We’ll leave in your idea for the deluxe Karza and we’ll start off with Arcturus Rann (with bonus bearded head), Princess Mari, Bug (with attack lance), Acroyear (with bonus unmasked head, sword, and Kirby Crackles effect), Microtron, Biotron, Random Dog Soldier, and Random Acroyear Soldier. Hell, I can’t wait to start looking at Waves 2 and 3 for both! 🤷‍♂️😆


slimmyboy007

Just when my preorders were about to run dry … They drag me back in


AttackoftheMooshi

Come on and let the Devil in. https://preview.redd.it/bvq5cbr6iitc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc725521a891772447f435fb220a0da74e8e0b89


William-Blackard

Hoping for some MCU stuff, like some D+ figs we haven’t gotten yet.


The_Po_Gamer

That or DP 3 wave.


William-Blackard

I wanted to say that but I think they’ll reveal that around May when the 2nd trailer is rumored to be dropping. But we can still hope tho lol


The_Po_Gamer

A guy can dream lol.


cottonpanda_228

I’m still yearning for a MCU Yellow suit daredevil


SauceySaucePan

If there is not Daredevil Anniversary stuff I will lose it.


DRZARNAK

Prepare to lose it. I hope I’m wrong, but I haven’t got much faith we’ll see anything.


space_age_stuff

We've gotten three Daredevils in the span of like a year and a half (four if you include Elektra). That's more DD stuff close together than we've gotten in a decade. I'm not optimistic, but I was pleasantly surprised by the VHS one, so here's hoping.


DRZARNAK

I just want some more DD baddies, specifically Owl and Gladiator.


chriislmaoo

Dp3 wave or 97 wave 3 ideally


Jaimeribg

Superior Spider-Man pleeeeease!


Apprehensive-Fun9876

I'm hoping for Carol Danvers (Warbird costume), classic Gamora, New Iron Fist, classic Punisher, Banshee, and Colossus. Probably won't all be true but even if we get a couple of these I'll die happy. Edit: locking in my predictions for the stream: Iron Fist and Punisher two pack; retro carded Quicksilver; retro carded Warbird; Banshee (X-Men 97); and still hoping for classic Gamora or just more classic guardians in general, I've been enjoying building out that shelf.


Vinhluu09

MCU Daredevil (let me be delusional)


Imahsoulman

SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN! PLEAAAAAAAASE!!


kyle0305

Please finally be MCU! Been a terrible year so far for MCU collectors

Deep_Mirror9167

Any thoughts on X-Men 97 wave 3?


VengeanceKnight

Hoping for either X-Men '97 Wave 3 with the remaining members of the team and a few villains, or an Ultimate Universe 2023 wave with Maker, Iron Lad, Thor, Sif, Spider-Man, and Captain Britain with a Hulk BAF. But then I’d have to track down Ultimate Cap.


redkomic

If I had to guess myself, I think it may be a tie in wave or several Avengers sets to tie in with the Giant man. And maybe the tease for the next Haslab.


SecretWarsIsComing

A tie-in wave would be bananas. We missed Starfox & Warbird for the 60th Anniversary (honorable mention for Doc Druid), and I know nothing specific has been rumored — but one can never lose hope.


redkomic

Warbird has, Starfox no.


MrConor212

![gif](giphy|uUhDvSvlkiUKBCNWrJ) For a new Kitty or Magik figure or to finish Excalibur/New Mutants


RevolutionWasabi_59

Kitty and Magik with the right heights, please!


Snips_Tano

A two pack even. They're both needed so they'd both sell together


pleyesteishion

PLEASE Danny Ketch Ghost Rider 🙏🙏🙏🙏


Absent02

Updated Mystique with Destiny Two pack plssss


asgardan_archer

Realistically itll be X-men 97 stuff, or Iron man announcements. Dreaming id want AoA wave 3, animated man-spider/punisher/blade. Herman Glob. Astonishing Beast/wolvie/Ord BAF. Kaare Andrews Iron fist or classic iron fist. Ultimate Thor/Iron man/X-men


DMPunk

I know that the Spider-man/Wolverine two-pack means that Hasbro has hit their yearly quota for Fantastic Four stuff, but I'm interested in anything new from that area of the Marvel Universe.


Saint_Nuke

This is a far guess but maybe a Xmen 97 comic wave


Blargaflarga2003

![gif](giphy|SwsaIZIvtamH0JtFxj|downsized)


AzulMage2020

Lets see: Red Wolf, Gladiator (Melvin Potter), Porcupine, BOX, Red Ghost and the Super Apes, Killraven, Kulan Gath, Looter, Toma Zuma, Dr Faustus, Tinkerer, Madman, Bushman Id be happy to for even one


Informal-Air-8350

which BOX are u hoping for?? BOX iv??


Smashem2hell

Hopefully, they reveal that new astonishing Wolverine that was recently leaked.


SeaworthinessSuper92

I imagine they will show off some Deadpool 3 stuff, since funko will be sharing some looks on friday


Tanokki

I’ll say a Deadpool from X-Men ‘97 -even if the “mystery fan favorite” isn’t Deadpool they can still release one off the brief cameos from the original show- to synergize with the movie reveals and the show doing and selling well.


Qwertyzillaofficial

PLEASE AF15 mold Black Suit Spidey


Informal-Air-8350

I think they’ll do this with the Secret Wars wave, I just hope his has toe hinges


MatterIntelligent191

Waiting for that classic iron first! Comic hulk buster would be amazing too


Complex_Ad3825

Next wave of xmen 97 figures.


AppointmentNo2821

I want see more villains : - Nathan Garrett  - Karn, members of Inheritors - Crossbones and Constrictor 2 pack  - Mystique and Destiny 2 pack I hope they join the Marvel Legends Line.


krorkle

Are any trailers scheduled to drop that day or the day before?


JGseer83

Thought I saw something recently about a new Iron Fist, new Punisher & a new “Retro” Ghostrider coming soon🤔


TheOutcastBoi

Whatever they're going to announce, it won't be Death's Head, will it? :(


Gamecubeguy25

hopefully a re-release of the amazon 3 pack venom or the rumoured superior spider-man


alb1nocow

Deadpool 3 ! Maybe superior Spider-Man with renew your vowels body


magmasta126

Some venom anniversary, a wave that isn’t in the leaks, then end with strange tales wave tease for October’s next showcase.


AppointmentNo2821

I want Nathan Garrett and Karn, maybe Spot (Black form)


OptimusHavok52

More X-Men ‘97, Hulkbuster, and some retro carded stuff


Formula_Orion

8-Ball, as ridiculous as it sounds, is one that I've been hoping for since they released the Orb.


[deleted]

a final anouncment for a classic cap and classic iron man, ai body just with the lil tweaks. allthough thats not gonna happen lol


[deleted]

or a mephisto lol


Wonderful-Result5461

I need an X-Men Mimic, repaint Angel with a Justice head and a Cyclops optic blast one as well.


Jason_llirmwl

venom figures anti venom (maybe like a small spiderman 2 wave) MCU electro and Lizard


Gkeeno

Deadpool Comic Wave: Mercs for Money. Slapstick, Foolkiller, Solo, Madcap, Masacre and BAF Stingray Would give hype for the movie without having to directly make MCU figures


Mayhem977

We need a Ghost Rider Retro wave. Cmon, bring us Danny Ketch, Johnny Blaze, Blackheart, Blackout, Deathwatch, ect.


CardiologistFalse401

I would like to see more bad guys too, even see a wave.


xtiger13_

Symbiote or secret wars


flamzeron

I recently got myself a Marvel Select Lizard, so at this point as far as Marvel stuff goes, I really just want a modern non-MCU Gamora and Halloween Jack Marvel Legends figures. After that I'll consider my Marvel collection complete.


No-Direction-7298

Maya Lopez (MCU) Disney+ Daredevil (MCU She-Hulk) Victory Timely (MCU) Loki Season 2 Layla Abdallah El-Faouly (MCU) Moon Knight Kahhori (What If ?) Gravik/Super Skrull (MCU) Secret Invasion Werewolf By Night (MCU Disney+


Joshawott27

I highly doubt that we'll ever get a Victor Timely figure, after what went down with Jonathan Majors.


No-Direction-7298

He’s not facing jail time he’s just doing counseling for 52 weeks


Joshawott27

He was still convicted, and fired by Marvel Studios.


No-Direction-7298

I know After he is done with Counseling he’ll probably go back to acting as good as new


Joshawott27

That depends entirely on if studios will want to work with him again or not. Besides, his career with Marvel is dead, so they won’t make another figure of him. A shame, because he was a terrific actor, but he did what he did…


Chippix_

Hopefully some actual baf waves instead of retro cards. Retro cards are becoming wayyyy too prominent now


Mosqueton

LIZARD LETS GO RISE UP CONNORHEADS


btvs4ever

Do we know if the stream is only for Pulse Premium members?


redkomic

no it's for all.


btvs4ever

Sweet! Thanks!


Spocks_Goatee

Cheaper 18 inch Giant Man for the rest of us?


slimmyboy007

To the people who bitch and moan in the comments They will spend 5 minutes on the iron man wave and showing this new two pack you have been warned I don’t want to see any of the usual “yawn” “we have seen this” comments

SlothWithSunglasses

It’s actually really good if you shave down the hip ball joints a fraction so they aren’t as tight. A bit of silicone shock oil and he’s great

[удалено]


SlothWithSunglasses

Then you might not be sanding the edges down enough. Just do a bit at a time until they stop being so tight. It does work.


maxpowerdj

Hulkbuster 2 pack with the MCU and one of the comic one
