I'd be interested in seeing if the Black Panthers in that wave are like the European Endgame figure; the sculpted detail of the Vibranium suit but without the purple metallic accents. I might actually need one in that case. If that's all the Spidey 60 assortment is, it's a little disappointing. Guess they don't actually have the rights to do Raimi and Webb Spider-Men after all.
I don’t know how recent a phenomenon it is to reissue only parts of ML BAF waves, was Kang the first time that happened or have there been others? But it does always make me wonder about how much more lopsided BAF parts end up being due to Hasbro doing that. Who the heck is the BAF of this Black Panther wave, or is it more like those UK/Euro waves that do something entirely separate to the earlier release or omit it?
Oh, Hasbro's finally giving us a Spineret? I'm in for that two pack. Especially if the Spidey is the Retro version with more accessories. Unfortunately I lost my right fist for mine somehow and it's driving me crazy, but no way in hell am I paying $100 on eBay to replace it. So, even if that version doesn't use the Retro body hopefully one of those Spidey figures does. Ah, nice. Was wondering what they'd do to differentiate it from the baf. Might be worth replacing in this case. Especially if they fix the issues the baf had with it's legs.
Got my order in just yesterday. He looks great from the review videos. Interestingly another case of the UK getting something first! Been a Moon Knight fan for a long, long time. Safe to say the teaser looks great. Can’t really believe we’re finally seeing him translated to TV. Hoping it prompts a re-release of the last comic Moon Knight as I could never get him, and a Ellis Mr Knight look. So excited for the Lizard. Was hoping we’d get a more animated look myself. The classic Lizard look always makes me think Super Mario Bros Movie Goomba! Wait, we’re getting a Kang re-release? Hope I can nab one as he’s already pricey on the Aftermarket.
I've never seen a full reissue wave in the US in several years of collecting. But the Black Panther movie mold has now been sold in three different plastic trays molded for three different BAF parts. So it must not be that hard to do. I'd guess this wave has a comic BAF and then the Wakanda Forever wave has a new movie one. The other possibility is a Warrior Falls M'Baku BAF, but that would be a lot of new tooling.
Which listing is for this? Nope, the retro carded one was just an updated of his more universal design, not his cartoon one. Agreed.
Ooo, the Spidey developments are exciting! I'm curious what new comic Black Panther this would be. Getting a figure of the Hatut Zeraze has army builder potential. Amazing Fantasy Spidey makes me happy, as does Spiderverse Penny & SP//dr and Spinneret. (This doesn't have to be part of 60th anniversary by any means, but it'd be nice if we could get a Mattie Franklin Spider-Woman at some point.) Yeah an Animated Series Spidey should have brighter colors. I wonder if it'd use cel shading (more in the blues) like Venom did. And yes, Lizard being at Walmart could be annoying but hopefully it's as easy to get as classic Strange was (and we don't get the frustrating wave of cancelled preorders like other Walmart exclusives). The first MCU BP wave had Okoye as the BAF, with only five figures in a six figure wave including Okoye parts (including both arms with one figure instead of split up). IF BAF parts are included again and they go the Euro route, I think it'd be conceivable that either Okoye's head could remain attached to her torso, or both legs included together like the arms, and you could include Okoye as the BAF as part of a four figure wave.
I am pretty intrigued by the BP reissues. Will they reissue the Bozeman headsculpt? Killmonger has had 2 releases, will it be the one with him in the BP suit or the one with the Michael B Jordan headsculpt? (Or possibly both since it says x2? I would like to get the MBJ one but don’t want to pay the $32 he currently goes for. I am also excited for a new comic BP. About time! I had to google the hatut zeraze. As for the Spidey stuff, in for Iron Spidey and Lizard for sure, and will grab the Spiderverse set for my son. Will wait and see on the rest. It’s interesting that you put an ! Next to Knull. That’s one of the only two from this list we have actually seen already.
Kang - and just Kang from that wave - went back up for preorder months ago in response to something pretty easy to guess if you follow the MCU but also appropriately alongside the FF Retro announcement. The first Guardians of the Galaxy wave did to my recollection, but yeah it’s not a common occurrence otherwise. I’m sure whatever the BP reissue wave does, it’s either using a prior BAF or dropping parts entirely, rather than new tooling (plus the existing M’Baku is a big boy).
I used that for Knull because he's in a 2 pack. Though to be honest, unless there's another Venom wave, I cannot see him anywhere else BUT this two pack.
Hope the Spider-Man in the Spineret pack is the retro mold, I missed out on the first release. Do we know when this line is supposed to come out?
I have Mafex Black Panther and Legends Shuri already. Never managed to get Nakia or Killmonger though, so glad to see reissues. Hope the Venom body they use for the Knull two pack is the movie Venom one, bc I still think that’s the best Venom figure to date. But I have a feeling it won’t be. Interested though. Peter Parker/Ned two pack I might get for Ned, but idk. I still hope they reissue MJ at some point. Comic Iron Spider is an easy buy
Oh, I meant the website preorder back in October. It hasn't shipped or shown up online in the States yet, though it appears to be shipping in the UK/Europe now.
Aww man, gonna have to maneuver Walmart’s system for that Lizard. I wonder if Nakia and Shuri will some Okoye parts, never was able to complete her, LOL!
The Homecoming 2 pack is the only thing I’m excited for! Hoping (judging by them using Peter Parker instead of Spider-Man) that it’ll be a Peter in his normal clothes
