2025-2026 Rumor/Leak List - UPDATED List 9-9-25 (after the livestream)

It would be just like Hasbro to give us this version of Phantom Rider...

I just realized:

If Phantom Rider is the classic version, he will be the first of The Rangers to get a figure. So, if the other rumors are true and we do get Triton and Gorgon soon, I will shift my "let's finish the Inhumans" rants to "give us Firebird and Red Wolf!" (not forgetting my continual "reminders" to Hasbro about finishing GOTG and Starjammers). I really doubt Hasbro would be interested in completing The Rangers with Texas Twister and Shooting Star.
As others have pointed out, a classic Phantom Rider, if Hasbro doesn't chicken out, could get us new sculpted elements like gun holsters and spurs, which could be quickly and easily reused for Two-Gun Kid, Rawhide Kid, Outlaw Kid and other western-related characters.

If Werewolf By Night is classic and if they created new sculpted elements, we could also see characters like Man-Wolf, Vermin and other similar characters in the future.

I'm all in for this entire rumored wave. However, it, like the Zabu and Strange Tales waves feel like "let's clean out the vault."

Very interesting wave.

Iron Man’s Mysterium Armor has a very cool look. It was very powerful. Rather short-lived though. Anyway, always thrilled to get any Iron Man armor! More armored villains please…

Enchantress I would be wonderful! She really needed an upgraded figure. Her prior figures both had weak knees and would wilt under her own weight. Hope the BAF is Executioner!

Dark Avengers Spider-Man—curious which version they mean. Dark Avengers 1 version would be the easier one. Just like a Symbiote Spidey on a Vulcan body. Dark Avengers 2 could mean 6 arms.

I mean . . . I dig grab-bag waves, the weird stuff is my favorite stuff.

And hey: if I finally FINALLY get Jacob Russoff aka Jack Russell aka WEREWOLF BY FRIGGIN’ NIGHT I will be a very, very happy guy.

But, of course, once you open the door for classic monsters you MUST invite DRACULA in!!!!

Executioner. I don't think he'll be the baf of this wave.

You and I have very different ideas about what constitutes a very cool look for Iron Man.

But yes more villains, please!

I just started reading the classic Werewolf by Night series after finishing Tomb of Dracula so I would be all in for Jack.

I read the original series about two years ago...has some low points (as all books do) but there was some really fun stuff too. I particularly liked the lengthy Belaric Marcosa arc just after Moon Knight's first appearance. There are some real horror elements in that arc. The Giant-Size issues were pretty good too.

So far it hasn't grabbed me out of the gate like Dracula did but I'm sticking with it. I just love the character, especially from his appearances in Tomb of Dracula.

Haha! Well this suit reminds of the MCU Heartbreaker Armor, which I thought was a more unique looking suit.

The biggest problem for me was that Jack continually came off kinda dumb when he would venture out at night then suddenly realize "oh no, only 20 minutes until the full moon!", or the "one month later" dialogue boxes for something that clearly should have been a day or two later. But I guess you have to accept that conceit for an ongoing werewolf book.
 
There are 2 potential "obvious" choices for the BAF-
Skurge (goes with Enchantress)
Banshee (goes with Phantom Rider)

However, there are some other potentials as well:
Titanium Man (goes with Iron Man)
Frankenstein's Monster (goes with Werewolf By Night)
Ai-Apaec (goes with Dark Spider-Man) - can you imagine this thing on your shelf? My kids and wife would freak out.

As a huge arachnophobe, Beamish, there's no way in hell I'd ever want something like that anywhere near my collection. I can't tell you how traumatized I was as a kid, walking into the toy section and seeing the swaths of Shelobs and Aragogs on the shelf that nobody wanted. If I walked in to my place and saw something like that on my shelf, plastic or not, I'd grab my cat, nuke the place, and just start from scratch. 😖
