2026-2027 Rumor/Leak List - New Year, New Thread! Updated 4-14-26.

To be fair:
As I am looking up these Rivals designs, a lot of them are . . . very much not-good.

But this Punisher looks sweet as hell.

Edit: looked up the *specific* characters/designs on the leak list and they all look FUCKING AWESOME. So yay.

My thought is that given the popularity of the game, these have the potential to be really solid sellers. It keeps prominent characters on shelves, and it might even get some fans of the game aboard the line as new collectors.

I'm choosing to celebrate that as a win for the health of the line as a whole, even though I can't fathom them making anything I could want in this sub-line.

Like most modern video game designs I find them busy to the point of absurdity. It's that thing where you can tell what medium someone designs for because none of these outfits were designed thinking they'd need to draw 22 pages of them per month.

Either way, good for the line because those sales will probably get me something lese I want down the line.
 
If all of this is true I really hope they don't leave the Phoenix 5 at Cyclops. I want all of them. Emma would probably have to be a fan channel exclusive.
Of note here, the fact that it says "Secret Wars Cyclops (Phoenix Five)" tells me it's probably not actually Cyclops from the Phoenix Five, but instead Cyclops from Secret Wars 2015, the second time he was powered up by the Phoenix force, which is actually a different look.

I am going to do my damnedest to appreciate the fact that any new, dedicated sculpts in ML are a good thing and should be celebrated, and not be a big whiner because those beautiful new sculpts aren't being used on figures that I actually want.
Same. While I don't care about Rivals, I do like seeing Hasbro branch out into more stylized sculpts. Especially if they do them well.
 
I really really hope tomorrow reveals aren't exclusive to Marvel Rivals.. and we end up getting also the rumored wave with Betsy and Marrina.

I don't like playing Rivals and even though I think some of the designs are interesting I would only collect the X-Men. Give us Magneto, Storm, Wolverine, Magik, Psylocke, Phoenix, Emma, Gambit and Rogue and I could maybe get interested.
 
Man, I absolutely had a miserable time playing Rivals but I do like some of their designs a LOT. I legit thought while playing it and failing "I don't want to play this game, I want these action figures, it's less stressful."
 
Yeah judging by the proportions on that teaser image for Punisher I don't thin,k thats a Frank I'll need in my collection. Now I'm hoping game Luna Snow isn't so far off from comic Luna that I won't want her.... seems like it should be OK.
 
99% of all video games for me, too. I'm still mad at PS4 Screwball. I will never NOT be mad at PS4 Screwball. Would I buy an action figure of her? YEP

I still hear her gloating in my sleep.

Sometimes at the edge of awarness, at the last vestige of consciousness ... PHOTO BOMB!

I love that game. I will hate Screwball until I die. That and the subway chase scene thing, when you're swinging from train to train, that almost brought me to tears.
