He also said that something they teased in a livestream last year will finally be revealed officially... maybe we'll see somebody with a fully articulated tail at last!!!

I have no idea what they'll reveal tomorrow. I would expect some kind of Excalibur update, but beyond that who knows. Comic based Eternals; wow, that's gonna be some serious new tooling if they're done correctly. Maybe another round of Bring On The Bad Guys? Or perhaps a retro Fantastic Four set? Be a great opportunity to roll out that Watcher Legends BAF ...

Giving we just got listing for AOA wave 2. I'm suspecting them to be revealed with probably the Eternals wave and Retro F4

Personally, I don't think you're missing much. When the movie was announced, I tried to do a deep dive so I would know these characters really well. I got about halfway through Jack Kirby's series and gave up with little interest in reading subsequent issues or runs by other creators. I just don't find the characters very interesting, despite some of Kirby's biggest most bombastic art of the '70s. The thing is, his broad space-gods-as-metaphors concept only works when someone like Stan Lee or Jim Starlin can take the idea and ground it with a sense of humanity. My take, anyway.

Kirby's New Gods is 100x better than his Eternals. I grew up as a kid reading Marvel since the late 70s & never once cared to read an Eternals comic, but I saw a JLA comic feature the JL vs Darkseid & I was all over the New Gods!

You know, in all the years I've been reading comics, I've never even seen the Eternals outside the Marvel Handbook, but I'd snap up this set in a second.

Having said that, I don't hold my apathy towards the characters as apathy toward the upcoming movie, because I had no interest in most of Marvel's cosmic characters back in 2014 before I saw Guardians of the Galaxy.

maybe (hopefully) they'll have some new details on the Hercules figure

Herc is coming in FF wave more than likely. Be nice if he comes with an alternate head sculpt as I'm sure he comes with his mace, open/closed fist hands.

Surprise! Eternals comic wave:

This should be SDCC exclusive box set surprise! It'll all but guarantee the MCU figs rotting on the pegs.

Smart money says they'll concentrate on Eternals. With reaction to the trailer being mixed . . . AT BEST, everyone involved with the movie is gonna wanna put all their efforts toward promoting it.
