2026-2027 Rumor/Leak List - New Year, New Thread!

With the core teams of Excalibur, X-Factor, and X-Force all wrapped up, I'm about ready to pour my X-Wishlisting energy into the next generation teams and start agitating for more New Mutants and Generation X. I'd love to start getting some of the New/Young X-Men, too, but those upstarts will have to wait their turn.
 
New X-Men Scott & Jean would be an instant buy for me, loved our gal in that chunky ribbed jumper.

The Doug/Sam thing intrigues me if we are going to get the full classic NM gang.

Who do I have to sweet talk at Hasbro into doing a modern, slim and bearded Sinister?

You're speaking my language with this whole post.

Krakoa-era shit-eating-grin Mr. Sinister is a must.

I don't know what you guys are getting excited about. Did no one get the memo that we're doing X-Factor all over again?

Here's the deal:
When sources like Displaying Model Behavior, Dan Who? Reviews, X-Manny and others put out rumor/leaks lists, take everything with a grain of salt.

Case in point:
There was an actual list that leaked back in June 2025. Possibly a vendor order list of some sort. I copied and pasted it to the 2025 leak list, but in time it disappeared.
There was a lot on that list, but for the sake of this post, here's one example of what it had, and how things can spiral into something else entirely:

Ghost Rider, Hawkeye, Wolverine ("latest version") and Marrina in one grouping, and they all had BAF after individual names.
Within this grouping:
Marrina wasn't listed as Marrina, and there was some debate over the translation from wherever the list came from.
Ghost Rider didn't have Vengeance attached to his name.
Hawkeye didn't have Bullseye or Dark Avengers attached to his name.

Lady Deadpool, Psylocke and Wolverinepool were listed in one grouping, but they did not have BAF listed after their names.

American Secret was listed separately from the other two groupings and did not have BAF listed next to his entry. American Secret was also a wrong translation, and the entry is U.S. Agent (pointed out by Resilient) who, oddly enough was attached to an earlier rumor/leak that proved to be false of an Iron Man retro wave in 2025.

Iron Man mark 3 grey was listed separately and had Pulse next to his name.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago when an actual list showed up on an Instagram account that Enforcer posted for us. That list had missing figures from waves which looked like pages that weren't copied and pasted correctly. That list had the following listed as "American Secret BAF wave"
Ghost Rider/Vengeance, Lady Deadpool, Psylocke and Wolverinepool and US Agent. There is a name in in the page crease that is illegible.
That's 6 figures of a 7 figure wave, including the name in the crease.
US Agent is really American Secret.
Somehow Vengeance got attached to Ghost Rider.
I actually reached out to the poster and asked who the name in the crease is - no response at all.
The list looks like it was generated as a fan list, not a vendor sheet.

Now fast forward to Displaying Model Behavior's recent video.
He clearly states this is all old information.
He claims there are 2 BAF waves.
Wave 1:
Ghost Rider (who he kinda sorta attaches Vengeance to)
Latest Comic Wolverine
Hawkeye
Marrina
Iron Man mark 3 grey

Wave 2: American Secret wave
Psylocke
Lady Deadpool
Wolverinepool

So, there's a lot of speculation from the original vendor sheet to the Instagram post to Displaying Model Behavior's recent video.
Somehow between the initial rumor/leak in June until now Vengeance became attached to Ghost Rider, Bullseye to Hawkeye and a variety of BAF waves have been "revealed".
This is the reason why I attach names and dates to the list on the first post of this thread so we all know where and when the rumor/leak came from.

What we do know for certain, straight from Dwight, is there are 2 upcoming BAF waves, and in one of those waves the BAF is a team completer.

What I think?
Ghost Rider, Hawkeye (Dark Avengers), Marrina and "latest version" Wolverine are in an upcoming BAF wave.
Psylocke, Lady Deadpool, Wolverinepool and U.S. Agent are in a mini comic wave.
Iron Man mark 3 grey is indeed a Pulse exclusive.

Really appreciate your breakdown of the the leaks and how things are getting all twisted around.

I believe the order form had that Ghost Rider, Dark Avengers Hawkeye, Marrina, Wolverine, Psylocke, Lady Deadpool, and US Agent are one wave. BAF Unknown.

Wolverinepool is likely a DP&W offering based on Concept Art.

Iron Man Mark III "Grey" is its own thing.

That really sucks that if this wave is correct, there is only one never been made before figure (Marrina), if Ghost Rider is indeed Vengeance. This wave reads, just like the Skurge wave, Blackheart wave and Zabu wave - "let's clean out the vault and just put a bunch of random figures together".
Comic BAF waves are now Fan Channel and should be used as vehicles to get the collectors as many new and interesting characters as possible, not a bunch of do-overs.

If GR is Robbie he'd be a new character too at least! I'd love an updated Vengeance (anything that old basically counts as new to me) but what's the point without his bike?

Vengeance could certainly use an update, but the Toy Biz comic version isn't terrible despite how old it is. The one in the movie wave was pretty bad, though. If I had to choose between a new Vengeance or Robbie, I'd pick Robbie. Ideally we'll get both (with their vehicles). Honestly, I might even rather have an Alejandra GR than a new Vengeance - but I hope that we get them all!

I've actually had Vengeance on my desk for a few months now and he is fun, though that just makes me want an update even more. I'd happily take Alejandra too, though. As toyetic as Ghost Rider types are I figure they should be making someone + their ride at least once a year.

I don't believe GR is Vengeance.
