Since when is Apocalypse as big as Galactus?
Iron Fist looks awesome, but i am not feeling Apocalypse as a build-a-figre. I would have prefered a new character we have not gotten yet.

Yeah, that covers it for me.  I didn't think they did a bad job with Apoc the first time around, he's pretty big for the line.  Sentinel and Galactus = huge, ok by me.  I'll not be in a hurry to build this one.

After seeing the pics, I confirm my disinterest in a big Apocalypse. 

What is this behind Wonderman's arm?

Thats Yellow Jacket  ;D

The green Goblin they showed looks awesome. The maskless version is the chase for the Villians Wave which will be 13.

Really :o  Huh, thanks.

Villains wave eh?  I like the GG from the S6 boxset, but a villains wave sounds mighty cool.

Anyone picking up the new color for the Juggernaut?  I'll be able to pass on that one happily, I never saw that version in any comic I read.

Please clarify:

This is the regular assortment now?  The packs are evenly distributed so red Phoenix and phasing Vision/GR are "regular" figures in this series??  If so I'd love to have a phasing Vision. 

Does anyone here need a no mask Wolverine from series 6 or a doombot?

I believe these cases will be shipped to Walmart and include tose figures.

Jesse Falcon confirmed they are going to be doing an newe animated FF wave as well as a Ultimate / Classics series that will be shown at toy fair.

I hope its heavy on the classic figures and not ultimate stuff.

Just looking through the coverage/pics today, it looks like Wave 13 of ML will indeed be a "villains" wave, and they did show a preview of one figures from that wave at Comic-Con: Classic Green Goblin/Norman Osborne.  You can check out a few pics of it at Julius Marx's site HERE.  I've always been looking forward to a single carded Goblin (normal style), and haven't shelled out for the Sinister Six pack, so hopefully this one will turn out nicely.  I would have been ok if they single carded the S6 pack one in the Spidey Classics line too, but maybe this one will be better.

I really like the S6 Goblin and am very pleased with it.  Having Black Cat and Electro in the box made it worthwhile though.  Actually I think that's the Venom I decided to keep as well and it was the only Kraven I picked up (delaying interminably paid off for once).  I do think the new Goblin looks cool though, but I doubt I'll worry too much about it. 

All I can say is there better be a Kingpin in wave 13 >:(

Agreed.  S6 Goblin is good enough for me.  I only hope there's no build a figure in this wave.

And if Kingpin isn't in wave 13, we're never going to see him.

I think he'll be there.  The only other possibility is if they're holding him for an upcoming Spiderman Classics line.  I'd guess he fits equally well in both lines, but I remember him predominantly from Spidey and Daredevil. 

I have to say, the build an Apocalpse idea holds no appeal to me.  I like the version they released and think it's scaled reasonably.  He should be big (as the figure is) but the same size as a Sentinel??  Not in my books.  Relieves a lot of pressure from this line.  I'll build my Sentinel and then ease off through the next couple of series getting only what I really want.  Build-an-Apoc is a relief to me. 

In other news that makes you bang your head against a wall.... I was in North Dakota last week and Target had a full case of ML 9 out.  They were just under $3 a piece.  I could have built another Galactus for under $20 total.  Dumbass left it there though.  If only for ebay purposes I could have bought the darn stuff, sold the figures off for $15 for the entire set and probably either sold Galactus for $60+ or started my Galactanian army building empire.  Moron.

While I can see Kingpin in SMC, I really hope he's in a ML wave.  More detailed and no funky accessories.

The Galactus and Sentinal waves I lucked out on - only two figures out of both series I really didn't (or don't) want - Hulk and Spidey (and I'm hoping Brian takes me up on my offer for Spidey.  I keep the Sentinal piece and he can have Spidey.  What say you, Brian?).  I don't recall who the figures are for Apoc BaF wave, but if I don't get a complete Apoc, no big deal.  I'm sure I can sell off the pieces to someone who does want an overscaled X-men villian.  If by chance, I do want all of that wave's figures, the Apoc didn't cost me anything extra and again, I'm sure I can rid of it if I decide I don't want it.

Its true Kingpin fits in eithe rline, but liek said i would prefer him in ML. He wont have a stupid action feature and probably just end up being better.
