2023 Winter Walmart Collector Con Begins This Coming Week (3/16)

Dan post this image of the Bucky Cap, which is our first hi-res image of the figure. He has also confirmed that it is a Walmart exclusive

I'm thinking it's the Across the Spiderverse wave, though it seems to be a bit overkill to announce two Spidey waves right after each other

Or it could be a fake out, red herring.....just never know with these guys...

Hasbro missed big opportunity by not making Hollow's eve and putting her with Chasm or/and Ben in pack. She would have been easy to do with Shriek body mold with just new head and hoodie/cape + accessories. Maybe she's too new but I think she appeared in right after Chasm.

It's too early for her still. Chasm was revealed around this time last year and Hallow's Eve wasn't until October last year. I want her too, but she probably won't be made until next year or so.

The Miles hint leads me to think Spider-Verse wave, but it's weird that they would choose now to reveal them after having got leaked a while back.

I'm guessing it's some variety of Miles Morales based on the "going the extra Mile" bit.

Into the Spiderverse or No Way Home figures, perhaps? Regardless, all I want is Spot of either of those two sets.

I don't wanna make a guess and I don't wanna get excited, but I'm keeping an eye out to see what this is. Hopefully something good.

Just saw this Atlantis, lol, playing weekend catch up! Well, to my mind, as you and I have pointed out, Fandral and Hogun will almost certainly be put on bucks already out there, with certain modifications for aspects of their costumes, hopefully. Volstagg is the only one of the three, that needed a new mold, that they could use on other figures also (cost savings). Could they have used the Kingpin buck, sure, but to be comic accurate he needs to be much more rotund to do him justice. I feel they finally did the Blob mold with other characters like Volstagg in mind. Now if they would see their way clear to use the Blob buck for a Big Bertha, maybe we can start getting some Great Lakes Avengers.

My guesses for how they will do them would be Fandral on the Spider-UK mold with hip skirt and collar overlays, Hogun on the Thor/Hercules mold with some new overlays and boots, then Volstagg using Blob's torso and otherwise new parts. They don't make a lot of Asgardians but when they do, they're larger, so those molds seem to fit well. I agree that Blob will almost definitely be reused, and Volstagg is a pretty natural first choice for it. Aside from maybe like a casual Kingpin or something.
