Please please please let Cassandra Nova come with a comic old woman head.

Preach.
Whenever they produce a figure of a character from a film, they should always pack in an alternate comic head. Especially with these lower tier characters who will never be made again. I’m looking at you, Agatha Harkness!
Instead, they institute a dumb moritorium to punish comic fans for the character becoming popular in the MCU.
 
I hate that Deathbird and Gladiator got pushed to 2026. But as long as we get it, I'll be ok.

They did my wallet a favor in that regard. I would take that zig-zag dual tone Quicksilver in a heartbeat as it's his Onslaught Era look. I'm not a Hawkeye guy at all but that egregiously 90s Hawkeye I would likely buy also.
 
I love this resource @Beamish but, perchance would it be possible to do a major organizational revamp?
I suggest either dividing the entire list into two separate sections (one for rumored figures and one for confirmed figures) or, eliminating figures altogether once they have been confirmed.
As it stands it's a bit of a convoluted mess with all the strikethrough text; it's sending my make-believe OCD into overdrive.

Also, maybe we should eliminate the 2025 in the title and just keep the thread going indefinitely because, there is absolutely NO WAY those rumored figures are ALL coming out THIS year.

Trivial side note: was Hypno Hustler actually confirmed?
 
I... kinda love the way it currently is because it lets us see what was rumored and what the reveal ended up being. It sounds like you may just want a thread of confirmed upcoming releases... which is the pre-order one? I just like being able to go to the first post on this thread and look at everything rumored and confirmed. It's great. Also, I take the 2025 at the year of the rumor, not the actual release so...
 
So, returning to The Crossing for a moment, in related news I found it funny that in the new Marvel Previews Catalogue that the Avengers Epic Collection (#27) solicited for release is titled “Timeslide”, and contains all The Crossing storyline. 🤣

Reprints Avengers (v1) #389-402, Avengers: The Crossing, Avengers: Timeslide, and Onslaught: Marvel Universe.

No, I'm just pointing out the overall list seems a little out of control and messy. There are rumor lists with partial confirmations, 2 packs and other figures that are rumored to be different than the original rumor, contradictory entries, and duplicate entries. I think having the first half of the original post be rumored figures and the 2nd half be confirmed figures may help unclutter things.
Or, maybe if we could change the text for confirmed figures to green and rumored figures to red, that might help?

Aren't a good portion of the rumors from 2024 though?

Oh, just that it's ANOTHER Spider-Man. Which I would buy. I hate to say it because it's me being illogical and bad at impulse purchasing.

I hear that.

I'm waiting for a classic red & blue Spider-Man. Preferably on the Maximum body. It probably won't usurp my MAFEX figure, but who knows.
 
So, assuming for a moment they continue the hero/villain 2 packs for a 2nd MVC wave, and they stick to the 2nd MVC (before it went 3d), the villains left are Marrow, Sabretooth, Spiral, Sentinel, Magneto, Dr Doom and Blackheart. Marrow, Spiral, and Sabretooth all have recent comic figures so they might steer clear of those. Magento has an X-Men 97 figure but I could easily see them doing him again with a beefier body a-la the new Cap (and I'd grab that), Doom is getting a re-release of his classic version, but maybe they'd try to strike while the iron is hot around Doomsday. Blackheart would be a way for folks who didn't get the BAF to pick it up, but that would be a fast turnaround.

Sentinel though, Sentinel is the only villain named in that interview, and I sincerely hope is what's coming. I love that design and he'd make a great deluxe like Juggy and Shuma. Day 1 preorder for me. My sentinel factory needs a bruiser.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a sentinel rumor on a couple of these leak lists?
 
They could also start experimenting with alternate color palettes for recently released and/or popular figures. Like I’m sure an alt-colors Wolverine vs Sabretooth would sell. The colors don’t have to be all that different either, Sabes has palettes that are “black instead of brown with orange or yellow” or even just “regular colors but lighter”. And I’ll bet a brown/tan repaint of Wolverine would be desirable.
