General Marvel Legends

I prefer the old one as well, particularly the head, and especially the cowl around the mouth being broader under the visor as opposed to what the show did ('97 animation vs. actual comic look.

I do find it odd that they didn't include a mullet head for Phoenix II, maybe they plan on making her other Excalibur Phoenix costume, similar to how we got 2 Banshees.
There are so many Rachel looks I still want, now mostly the early look where she is in the yellow bodysuit, but that one may be a pipe dream.
There was certainly something for everyone here. X-Men in general are not high on my list as I have most of what I want now, I would love to have Jean and Cyke but being Pulse exclusives might prevent that. Mephisto is a huge want but same issue. Mainly because I don't have a credit card to use. Might have to work something out my best friend to use his card and pay him back. Starfox/Champion are must buys. Hopefully a fan channel 2 pack. A great showing overall this year.
Why don't you get a Paypal debit card or Cash App card or something? How have you survived!
 
So I was just poring over that presentation image of Rachel again and I noticed the little inset image of the Excalibur comic. Are we thinking, or was it revealed, that she is part of a 2nd mini-comic wave?
 
Yeah, that was my bone-dry sense of humor speaking.

And Todd puts a trading card into all of his figures at no extra cost. Not seeing where the $15 hike comes from.
Oh, I'm just dense this morning. Don't mind me.

Pulse exclusives?
Great. I didn’t see that part. Hopefully non-members get a shot at these.

Catching up. $40 for the "magic" figures? Where was that shown? Fuck, if that's true. Still have to get Man Wolf but I'll try (and likely fail) to hold off on MJ and effed up Spidey and hope they go on "sale" and get to a better price
 
I'm gonna do a reveal review post in a little while, but I just have to say I'm really surprised we didn't see any of the Micronauts to follow the path of Crystar and ROM.
I was waiting for a Bug reveal myself. I'd be disappointed but there were so many other great reveals, it makes up for it. I really hope they're on the way, though.
 
My reviews:
The Spidey/Magic crossovers - they all looked really good in person. I'll definitely be picking up Man-Wolf. He was the clear winner for me of the four and will replace the outdated ToyBiz version.

Sorcerer Supreme Doom - very impressive, looks great. Depends on the price

X-Men 97 - they also looked really good in the booth. I usually cherry pick these, and this wave and the 2-packs are no exception. Definitely in for Morph primarily for the Gyrich head and Bobby for the training suit.
B-Ball Gambit - total miss for me. Maybe too stylized? I don't know. He just looks goofy. He's probably my least liked figure that was shown. The Rouge headsculpt is very nice.

Outback Storm - the costume looks great of course, but as many have pointed out, they missed the mark on the correct headsculpt. I'll sure I'll pick it up anyways.

Starfox/Champion of the Universe - now we're talking. Immediate Day #1 purchase. Y'all know I'm a classic Avengers guy, so this is a no-brainer. I appreciate the fact that Eros looks a little cocky but not skeevy. If this set sells well, maybe that'll lead to classic comic versions of Collector and Grandmaster.

WWII Logan - looks great, and since he's more than likely to have a BAF piece of what looks to be confirmation of the rumored BAF wave, I'll pick him up.
Warbow - looks great, but gotta be honest; I see the pattern and it's getting under my skin a bit. That's two Crystar figures in a row. The Crystar cast will be complete before other teams they started and forgot about. I know I know - total reuse of the body so why not? I get it but it still bugs me.

Feral - now we're talking again! Absolute perfection. Immediate purchase.

Rachel - now we're talking for a third time! Last play in the World Series tie-game home run that clinches it! She's exquisite! Instant purchase!

Mephisto - Mephisto looks amazing and the throne is cool. The throne height is a bit off for me, but it's an instant purchase nonetheless.

With the elimination of Rachel and Feral, our Top 10 poll next year will be a little interesting.

Rachel, Feral, WWII Logan and Outback Storm really warmed this x-fan heart (not to mention that X-Men '97 stuff). But yeah, Storm's Outback hair is ICONIC and they REALLY missed the mark, just like they did with Outback Rogue.
 
Quick warning for folks expecting Masque and Crossbones today, Amazon just dropped mine at my door... WITHOUT an Amazon box. Like, just left the raw ML box on my doorstep for all to see.
