I came across most of the Wolverine Origins figures this week.

So far I picked up Deadpool, Gambit, Wolverine (yellow), Wolverine (brown).

It looks like Deadpool, Gambit and Wolverine (brown) are the hardest to find.  Most likely due to the 1 per case ratio.  I did see Maverick and passed, but now I can't find him.

Back-stop is coming with a Tank.

... with a tank... not meaning his tank. An Armadillo tank?

Martin

I would think that is a given since Hasbro hasn't re-released the Persuader.  Then consider the price point they are trying for and I would say a small vehicle is the most likely choice (so yeah, probably the Armadillo mold). 

Also, on the guessing side...was the CLAW released in 83?  It has never been made in blue and was recently redone by Hasbro.

rock on and i was right thats cool a point for me lol. man 5 this yr well there goes my cash.

It's not as costly as you guys might think.

I'd say you would safely be able to pick them all up for under $125.00 - maybe even about $100.00??

After reading the newsletter - do you guys have any guesses on the rest?

Great work this year!!  Congrats to all involved.  I hope this is your "break out" year.

As for guesses.  We have 5 exclusives.  Of which 2 have been revealed.  The remaining 3 don't all have to be figures do they?  The newsletter is a bit tricky.

I would figure that we are getting something HISS related since you mentioned a HISS Driver head and the newsletter mentions the HISS tank as well.

I can't honestly think of a good guess so I'll go with a "wish."

I'll say a HISS tank in some form and a HISS tech/gunner?

Thanks Pete.

I definitely will be attending.  Gotta support the group!

Hey, hey!!

Just looking for one of the red bomb packs that hold 2 missiles/bombs.  It is the last piece I need to finish off my Night Raven.  I don't really have anything to trade, so it would probaby have to be a cash deal.

Well they have announced the 5 picks from the fan poll that will be made:

Archangel
Winter Soldier
Havok
Mystique
Mary Jane Watson

They have announced they are going to do 7 picks next year.

Overall I am really disappointed.  3 "X" characters, all of whom would most likely have been made anyway.  The Winter Soldier and Mary Jane are both unqiue picks.  I don't think she would have been made anytime soon, if at all, and he is a character that isn't top tier for making a figure (IMO).

I hope they do work in some really out there choices over the next 2 years.

Oh, and there are reports that wave 2 of the comic packs are revealed:

Black Spidey/Magneto
Iron Man/Spiderwoman (black costume)
Hulk/Cyclops

Overall I am disappointed with this wave.  It is great to get Magneto, Spiderwoman & Cyclops, but we already are getting Black Spidey, Classic Iron Man and Hulk so what changes would there be to make them worth buying?
