Probably with, they did it with the Noir/Spider-Ham "2-Pack"

True that, with Noir & Ham, or cough cough Noir and accessory, but in Canada that priced as a 2 pack was a TRU blunder, and it was fixed eventually, I feel bad for anyone who caved and bought that at its original 2 pack price.

Thankfully this Strange & Wong turned out to be better priced then other 2 packs, at 70, this was less then the regular 80, so we actually got like 10 bucks off the usual MSRP of a 2 pack in Canada, not bad not bad.

I'm worried about the price on this, since they are officially calling this a 3 pack, which is crazy, Bats even gets his name on the box, I wonder if that's gonna up the cost from a regular 2 pack. Either way I'm going to get this, but just feeling like it might be a higher price point then expected but I hope not. We saw it with the New Phoenix where they decided a display was the same price as an actual figure...that still weirds me out to no end.

Can someone remind me why Dormammu wears Doctor Strange uniform? I know it was on the cover of Doctor Strange number three in the current run, but I cant remember why

And Wong really looks great here. I like strange as well.

I'm not familiar with Dr. Strange having Dormammu's head. Can someone explain it for me?

It happened in Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme from 1988

Color scheme on Strange is really good, makes me almost want to get him even though I do have Walmart one, it's also worth mentioning I'm surprised we got Strange so soon just after animated figure release. But it's Wong who is the real star here, really well articulated all new sculpt, not sure they can reuse it much, but his legs do remind me of old Hasbro Hydra soldiers that despite all flaws still managed to capture more comic accurate Hydra unifroms, I would really like to see proper Hydra soldiers with buggy clothing made into figures.

I'm happy for everyone that wanted comic Wong but I'm still waiting on a MCU pre-sorcerer supreme Wong, either from the first Doctor Strange or Infinity War. Would be cool to get a Doctor Strange movie Wong and either Kaecilius or Ancient One 2-pack.

That's the thing, this head doesn't look much different from the failure they made before. The flames on the head look more yellow, but the eyes and mouth aren't anywhere what that picture looks like. Its so bizarre because its not like they couldn't get it right. Also the cloak of levitation is still going to hinder articulation. That Wong looks great though. I couldn't pay money for this set but I wouldn't be surprised to see Wong again down the road, along with an accurate classic Dr. Strange.

Yea the entire flame should've been a bright striking yellow from the get go. I don't understand this dim, gel look they go with for a lot of their fire havers.

I don't know about seeing another Wong again, but I'd believe that happening more than I would an accurate Dr Strange

This is so teetering on my fence of indecision. Another Strange is not appealing but that Wong sure looks good. The dog is okay but it's just a hunk of plastic. And of course they spared no expense with the oft used and reused hand effects and a reused head sculpt. I want to be with @Atlantison this thinking Wong will appear again somewhere down the line. Plus I've been on the Ollie's hunt lately and managed to pick up the Thor/Destroyer set the Doom/Monica the Drax/Moondragon set and the Super Adaptiod for $20 each in the last month alone. I might wait and try my luck with this one too.

Nothing here I care to have except *maybe the apology Dormammu head, if it's actually any better than the one from the bad guy wave. But still a cool set and I'm still surprised they made this fantastic looking comic Wong!
