I definitely appreciate getting new characters in these waves, whether i plan on getting each one or not, and feel that even with heavy re-use these figures are generally quite well-executed versions of the characters. ican understand why mcu-only collectors who want to build thanos might be annoyed at the wave having not just 4 comic figs, but 4 comic figs that don't have much relevance to endgame. Not a problem for me since i collect both but i do think that its fairer to collectors when the BAF is in line with the majority of figures in the wave, the Cap Marvel wave was the same in reverse since you had 4 mcu figs and a comic BAF, but at least in that case all but grey gargoyle felt relevant.

"Perfectly balanced, as all things should be"

I agree though. It feels like they are doing a better job at giving both sides of the fandom their due, but I agree that we need to see more focus in the waves on theme. All in all though, Hasbro is doing some great stuff. I am super excited to be throwing money away on these little plastic people!

at least hasbro are giving us new, sometimes requested character that are probablyprobably the only versions we are going to get. If this was any other company they would just slot in another comic Spider-man/Iron man/Cap/Wolverine etc.

Or another MCU Cap/Iron man oh wait.... Still I like the comic figures and this wave has a good selection, the only comic figure that doesn't excite me is Nighthawk and that's because I'm not a big Defender fan.

for this wave alone we get Herc in his modern costume to go with the Cap Falc, Lady Thor, Modern Viz and Parker Industries Spider for the post Civil war II Avengers. (Just need Red Wasp for that).

Since Songbird won the last fan poll by a long shot they gave us Citizen V for the Thunderbolts.

Nighthawk has been requested by Defenders fans since the Toybiz days so he got made.

And Living Lazer has also been requested as he is one of Iron Man's most frequent foes (not the version some people wanted but I'll take it.)

throw in the obvious MCU figure and this wave marks off alot of Fan Requests.

Only reason that comic based figs may "rot" on the pegs is due to the fanbase only knowing of characters due to the MCU & not the comics. Doesn't make the comic based figures bad figures, just the ignorance of the MCU based fanbase that causes them to stay on the pegs. I personally am only getting Herc & Nighthawk as the choice of Living Laser design they went with is awful looking & features no head articulation. Classic Living Laser is what I wanted, not that lite brite thing.

I hope folks really like this wave, because I'm betting we'll be seeing plenty of it rotting on pegs for the next year or so.

Don't mistake me, I mostly like the wave quite a bit, personally, but a lot of the comic-based figures seem to linger on pegs a long time. (I think Hercules will sell well...but the rest of the comic figures in this set likely pegwarm pretty hard).

Love the whole wave. Can't wait to get it.

I like this new review style youve got going on here. Seems more personal and in depth. Pretty cool idea thats different from the standard.

Plus I love all these figures!!!!!! Im going to try and get the whole wave!

I need to get that Maw looks amazing

And I had my dudes on getting a third Thanos but after seeing how the armor looks on him I want to get it

When I saw the Legends X-Men: Caliban wave coming out, that was pre-ordered as soon as the carded images were issued...that's two plus months ago. I need that wave! But that's not something I can say here. The first Endgame wave is here NOW & purchasable, and...I just can't be bothered at this point..

I agree 100%. As much as I dig that Hercfigure, I definitely wont be picking him up for quite a while. The X-Men waves are absolutely killer, and good waves seem much less exciting in comparison
