I’m excited to see updated Breezango figures. REALLY hope they both get new headscans.

Watching Candice ing LeRae sell the equivalent of getting shoulder checked by a teenager in a crowded mall entrance like it was a blow from an M1 Abrams is pretty hard to swallow. She's been wrestling longer than either Johnny or Tommaso have yet she's reduced to cannon fodder for their feud. Don't get me wrong she's been stellar in her role and has done nothing but contribute but seeing her reduced to taking a light bump from her husband like it was a death sentence is pretty cringe-worthy. Even more so when you factor in WWE actually acknowledged her inter-gender match history during the Mae Young Classic and claims she's gone "toe-to-toe with Kevin Owens". I hear you on ALL of this. It’s still slightly weird to me seeing her NOT full on attack Ciampa whenever she’s face to facs with him. When she’s just the sad, worried wife of Gargano, trying to hold him back from fighting Ciampa, it’s just odd. I get it from WWE’s character of her but I’m still not completely used to this version of LeRae.

The Becky looks cool. I can’t tell if that’s the more recent headscan with new hair or a brand new head altogether. Reallllly hope to get an elite of her with her new gear and goggles again.

I think it’s kind of annoying that they expect people to sit through 4 hours of their bad-mediocre PPVs. I honestly haven’t watched a full PPV in...years so it’s not going to affect me at all. I just skip to the 2-3 matches I’m actually interested in.

The Targets around me usually did a good job of stocking this line and I’m all for new facea showing up more regularly so I guess that’s why I like it so much.

I don’t want to see this line die. It was the best way to get new faces in figure form since the main lines just have the same guys over and over again.

Well, if I can get Elites of Strong and Kay I’ll be happy. They really don’t need to do Basics since the new ones are garbage but keep thst Elite line and don’t put any ridiculous, unneeded “flashbacks” in there again.

There was an EE box set a few years ago. 3ntertainment 3arth. The Retro package versions would probably be the best bet for Avengers. Series one had Cap and Iron Man. B-Radimus Prime -- POOR-ly Cuyler is right about that EE GotG box set. It is truly phenomenal, overall (except Rocket, but my complaints are as a stop motion animator, rather than collector). Sad thing is? There was a point when it was $30 (when I first got into this a couple years back, and had no interest in them) but -- it's worth it for Gamora alone. She's also the reason you're going to pay a mint for the set now. I'm sure we'll get another 2 GotG sets when Vol. 3 comes around, BUT -- I wouldn't put too much money on getting these figs. If we get comic versions, I'd wager it'll be of characters like Yondu... The retro Iron Man and Captain America pictured are excellent. Personally? I LOVE this Captain America, even though some dislike it, particularly the face. It's the Batman Returns version of Cap. He's clearly aged and more seasoned. The Spider-Man and Black Widow from this wave will also work well for you, and we're getting the Retro 2 wave. If you want a younger comic Spidey, you'll need the Ultimate version from the Space Venom wave. But the Retro is a "Pizza Spidey" reissue. Also, with the announced Retro wave, if the characters are accurate, we'll be getting comic: Ant-Man, Wasp, Vision, Black Panther AND Hawkeye. Scarlet Witch, you'll want the Odin wave one. There's an older Falcon, but he's pretty weak. I'd hold out. A QUALITY comic-book Thor and Hulk are both WAYYYYYYYYY overdue. But there's a decent enough KO hulk for cheap that fits in well on Ebay right now. Dr. Strange has a modern comic look out there that's decent, but they haven't done a "classic" look in a long, long time. Thanks for the responses guys! Truly appreciate it! I was looking into the Guardians Boxset but couldn’t remember if they all had single releases as well. I’m looking to start a whole roster of Avengers figures so the Retro Series might be best. I mainly only go for X-Men characters but with how long it takes for each of those series to come out, I figured I’d start collecting Guardians, Avengers and select Spider-Man characters.

I’m still hyped for Avengers 4 weeks after seeing Infinity War. Really excited to see Ant-Man& Wasp too. I hope it has a good end credits scene to set up any type of surprise for A4.
I’m gonna be seeing Deadpool tomor...well, technically tonight. Can’t wait. I’m really curious to see what they’ll do with the property if Disney does, in fact, buy out Fox. Ah, to finally see the X-Men potentially done right.

Can anyone give me recommendations for the best comic book versions of the Avengers.
And are there any decent comic versions of the Guardians of the Galaxy or potentially any upcoming ones?

It sucks that right now both RAW and SMACKDOWN Womens champions do not have an Elite figure. Both on roster long enough to have one. I know this complaint is on this forum already by Mattel do take a long time to bring out new figures. Carmella’s elite is on the way and Nia’s first basic is essentially Elite quality.

I don’t think I’ll ever get used to Lacey Evans. I feel that she would have fit into the Kelly/Maria, etc. era as a Heel but not someone who will be taken seriously as a wrestler.
I still don’t like that Dunne is a face. It’s just weird. And I’d prefer to see Mustache Mountain helping him out in this feud.

I wonder if that Carmella figure will end up in the line considering Toys R Us clearly isn’t going to pick it up now...
I’ve seen the Sasha and Becky plenty of times and I’m hoping to find that Maryse soon. Naomi looks really cool as well.
I hope we get a figure with the new NXT Women’s Title in this line soon.

I’m assuming Charlotte will win MITB and Rousey will defeat Nia so they can so a feud between those two.

You may also consider the Jubilee TRU BAF wave as a whole. It'll cost you a pretty penny, but you'd have quite possibly the rarest thing in all of Marvel Legends. Those are my Grails I have that whole wave, minus Wolverine (wasn’t there a Wolverine in that wave?). I really just wanted the Storm and Jubilee. Stryfe is a really cool figure too but the Magneto is pretty bad. Really looking forward to his new figure.

I don’t really care who anyone is dating. But I almost guarantee this is just a way to try and bring interest to Total Bellas/Divas.

i would like to see in the future. maybe split the lineup by brand 1 figure from Raw 1 figure from Smackdown 1 Figure from NXT 1 figure from the HOF 1 figure from 205 live 1 flashback figure or just a womans revolution figure that way an example would be Seth Rollins from Raw Rusev from Smackdown Alister black from NXT Hillbilly jim from the HOF Drake Maverick from 205 live Kona Crush as the flashback or alternate with a Womans Revolution figure like Mandy Rose keep the battle packs 1 Fued 1 tag team 1 flashback pack like Harlem heat maybe do the same with Elites I mean, I’d personally love this idea. I’d buy Rollins (depending on the attire), Rusev (if he had a new headscan), Black and Rose no matter what and Maverick. It’s a perfect idea for a lot of collectors, I think. But I guess kids just want to buy the same figure over and over (I was never like that as a kid).

Yes, definitely.
I don’t get why the NXT Basic Series 3 didn’t show up with the third Elite NXT Series. I really need the Billie Kay and Roderick Strong figures.
But to get back on the subject, we literally get the same faces over and over and over whether it’s Basic, Elite or Battle Packs. It’s okay sometimes obviously when wrestlers get new, exciting gear but other times...I just don’t get why they aren’t pushing in some new faces instead of the same ones constantly.
I’d love to see any member of Sanity, Peyton Royce, Aleister Black, Velveteen Dream, Undisputed Era, Kairi Sane, Pete Dunne, Shayna Bazler, Candice LeRae (I know that will be a minute), Zelina Vega...literally any 205 Live roster guys, The Riott Squad, Absolution, etc., etc.
But yeah, there definitely needs to be more new faces. Even characters like Jinder Mahal (I know we are getting him soon but it took awhile), Shelton Benjamin, Aiden English, Elite Almas, Kalisto, etc. that need updates.

I mean, with the way they have kind of ruined everyone but Charlotte, I’m assuming they’re going to let the MMA girls rip through them.
