WWII Logan and Warbow and possibly a BAF Wave?

Skurge is likeliest, horse least likeliest? What good is a Phantom Rider without something to ride on??

I also think Ares is a good pick with that version of Spider-man in there. But isn't Bullseye still needed?

Agree. I'm cool either way. However, if unique sculpts are the issue they keep bringing up in regard to much-requested characters. They could get a ton of reuse with a horse. Also, as an English teacher who's taught mythology classes, in for any Marvel Greek god representation.
 
I hope we're beyond getting characters like Ares and Skurge as BAF releases these days. They're basically only a tiny bit larger than regular figures, without extras like tails or wings or anything complicated and bulky to justify it. The Phantom Rider horse BAF would have precedent with the recent Zabu BAF, which was also a random hodgepodge wave. And unlike Zabu they have plenty of options for reuse with a horse: Aragorn, the black knights, spider-horse, Mr Horse from Jason Aaron's Valkyrie, Rawhide Kid's horse, MCU Valkyrie, Nightmare's horse, and Ember from the current Uncanny X-Men.
 
I just think that Phantom Rider's horse Banshee would be way too large for what they do as BAFs these days. A horse would have to be twice the size of Zabu. I expect that the only way we'd get a horse is in something like a Riders format and it would likely cost more than Crystal/Lockjaw did because Lockjaw is about the same size (only slightly bigger) as Zabu. For those that don't think that we'd get a Phantom Rider without his ride, have you already forgotten the retro carded Johnny Blaze that is now getting re-issued?
 
I’d love to get a new Ares figure! I’d probably size him around the same as the newer Hercules figures. So he would not need to be a BAF.

You can add steeds for Dreadknight, Major Mapleleaf, and a translucent, skeletal horse for the “Death’s Head” disguise that Deathstalker used. It could make a very cool visual.

BAF Harry Leland. Calling it. 😉

I hope so, as Skurge could be a solo release but I doubt Harry would be.

I am almost hoping it is neither as I really don't want the majority of the characters in the wave, and its been a long time since I bought a wave primarily for the BAF.
 
If you want to make a case for a horse, it also would be a step closer to centaur-type characters like the just discussed on this site, Force Commander from Micronauts, Stallior from Inhumans and Dr. Strange villain Centaurion, who is an actual mythological centaur.

What if the BAF for this wave is Gorgon?
Sometimes he's depicted as being taller/bigger/larger than his fellow Inhumans. One of the Handbook entries has him at 6'5 and weighing 450.
The Medusa/Gorgon 2-pack rumor certainly didn't get as much traction as the Black Bolt/Triton 2-pack did, so maybe it's incorrect like other 2-packs were (Magus/Champion of the Universe, Mephisto/Robbie Reyes).
If they reveal the rumored Black Bolt/Triton 2-pack first then reveal Gorgon as the BAF, he would technically be the team completer.
Medusa could then be released as a single card Fan Channel set or in a mini-comic wave with a few different hair sculpts, or a 2-pack with Maximus or Crystal in her FF costume.

BAF Gorgon seems entirely plausible to me. He’s built just different enough and with enough stature that he’d make a good candidate. Really hope they stick as close to the classic look as possible - I won’t be fussed if he skews a little bigger though.
