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

Also, when I pitch things I try to be as up to date as possible. When I re-pitched completing the West Coast Avengers to Dwight last week, I mentioned that Living Lightning was just in an Avengers arc, so he is familiar to recent comic readers who might like to have a figure of him.

I was very lucky that for years I knocked one off of my Top 10 list which seemed like every year: Hellcat, Puma, Jocasta, Silver Samurai, Snowbird, Meggan. Then a drought until Moondragon last year. My current wish list is full of figures that are costly to design and implement: Skurge, Mantis, Attuma, Swarm, Stingray and poor, poor Jack of Hearts. Also, characters that aren't known at all to the general public: Firebird, Red Wolf and Two-Gun Kid. My #1 most wanted is Deathbird who has to be coming - hopefully soon.

I rarely/never really see original training costume Kitty Pryde mentioned as a possible. Is there no interest or demand for her? I really like my X-Men situated circa issues 120-170, and she's the lone hold-out. Collection is just not going to feel complete without her.

I agree completely, I've pushed for a 1st Appearances Kitty for years. And I am still salty about the poor job they did for Excalibur Kitty.
 
I’m just feeling really bummed out that the messaging is basically, “Well, you know those characters you really want? Those favorites? Yeah, they’re all too hard to make so just take these umpteenth versions of the Spider and X and Wolverine characters we give you and be thankful.”

It gets easier when you realize thats been the same message for the last 23 years.

They just make 800% more figures per year than they did then so... odds.

I remember when Jesse Falcon used to post regularly on the Fwoosh. It was cool because he was very forthcoming with information. But sometimes he could be a little TOO direct. There was a grass roots movement to get an Armadillo figure made (@hmmberto can tell ya about that) and Jesse was adamant that it was never going to happen. Stop asking, he said. We're not going to do it. Armadillo is a niche character, he said. Too much tooling. It will never sell. Just forget it.

So we have an Armadillo figure. It's actually pretty cool. Moral of that story is, there's no such thing as "never". I'm not giving up on the Invaders and neither should you. Keep asking. Anything can happen.

The end.

And it's a good thing we do have him, otherwise we'd have had packs of cards with 24 different pictures of Armadillo. Or else I'd have finally cracked and just showed up in person in a big Armadillo suit and rolled laps around the booth.

They're clearly making an effort to make some of the X-Men '97 stuff pull double duty for comic collectors - between that and X-Men '97 just generally being awesome, it's not bad news to me.

Yep. It's obviously not my preferred method to get a New Mutants Magik, but I'll take what I can get where I can get it.
 
They could do a whole Morph Cameo pack - Magik, Psylocke, Deathstrike, Sabretooth, Jean, Morph in his finale outfit - I'm sure there were more.

The way for them to cost out a Bucky figure is a 2 pack with FA Cap. All FA Cap needs is a new head and triangle shield and his neck painted flesh color. Cheap reissue. Double price point. A lister included.

This is my thinking as well. Much of the tooling for Bucky could be reused to make an Eli Bradley Patriot as well.

Smart Hulk is needed if this is from the Peter David era. Happy to see that! Was the last Hulk I really wanted...

Mole Man/Moloids could be great, but I hate when they put an army builder in a two-pack, so hope for at least two Moloids in the pack.

Hypno-Hustler could be fun.
 
Thank you for summarizing, Beamish.
Glad to be getting a new Abom and Doc Samson. Cardiac and Hypno Hustler are welcome! Mole Man and Moloids too. The rest I'll have to see before getting excited.
 
REALLY hope Doc Samson and Abomination are true as well.

I wonder if the Future Foundation wave will have Spider-Man? I'd really like to add that suit to my Spider-Verse shelf.
