News tonight Maharshala Ali(Cottonmouth in luke cage) will be the new Blade,Natalie Portman returns in Thor: Love and Thunder(groan at the title, but if she becomes the female Thor or Valkyrie cool with that) and X-men and F4 confirmed also the real Mandarin will appear in Shang Chi

Shang f#*kin Chi!     I'd love a soft goods jacket to go with him, but I can get by with the WWE Pirate dude one for now. I'm sure one of the epay legends custom cloth guys will make a semi-proper one when he's released.

Classic Lizard & Doom are wins. Dig the Punisher in battle gear, will make for a good start for a Joe type LBC. Also like the War Machine/Iron Patriot repaint, but could care less about the rest of the MCU stuff.

Who was supposed to be in the Mammoth wave?

It’s now being reported on AFI that Alfred is the last Multiverse reveal.  The Mammoth wave appears to have been scrapped altogether. 

I'd guess Ikaris is on the way -- in conjunction with the Eternals film. Killraven remains a longshot. And still no sign of Thunderbird in an X-Men wave.

Hmmm... as big a fan as I am of Havok & Polaris -- not sure about the 90s 2-pack. Guess I'll make that determination when and if I see the pack on the shelves.

And what the fuck are the New Mutans doing in X-Factor costumes?! Isn't the old school X-Men uniform their most iconic look?!!

A lot of win in the reveals.  The angry, gray (she)Hulk is the only swing and a miss for me.  They clearly designed that when the character was starting in that direction.  How were they to know it would be so unpopular by the time the figure came out.  The perils of going with modern.  Also, I hope they still do a proper X-Factor Wolfsbane.  The slide where they showed the whole 90's team together really just served to show how an alternate head on a wrong costume sticks out.

I think I'm buying everything else revealed in the panels today.  The Cyclops and Wolvie are juuuuust different enough to justify buying with Jean Grey.  A near-complete 90's X-Factor in quick order is awesome.  I'm willing to buy a Vespa to get Squirrel Girl.  I imagine they were gun-shy after Gwenpool peg-warming and this was the compromise.  The AoA wave is another way to get some variants out there, but that storyline did have some great costumes and clearly impacted a whole generation.  It was really the repetition of the storyline later that ruined it.

Kinda dull so far.  But of course the biggest day of any con is Saturday.

Shang Chi is cool and overdue.  Can Killraven and Ikaris be that far behind?
