Ah - I didn't get Quicksand. That's where I missed it. Yeah - As soon as you said the Animated series, my mind went straight to Proteus. That was the first place I saw him too!

I think I missed a clue - where'd we find out it would be an Omega level mutant?

It has been huge. As someone who's been thinking about getting back in - it's, frankly, overwhelming. AoA is my childhood though - so this wave is hitting all the nostalgia notes for me. I'm a bit surprised by the character choices. X-Man & Dark beast make sense since they crossed to the 616 and have a bit more value in terms of display. We don't really end up with any one particular team/book from AoA with this wave tho.

Looks like we're getting a full Age of Apocalypse wave. BAF is yet to be revealed. Most peeps seem to be talking about Sugarman or Sabretooth. I kinda figured Victor for a regular sized figure. I'm hoping we see someone who's a bit bigger (Nemesis/Apocalypse/Colossus) or a character who's a bit less likely to sell well on their own (Abyss/Mikhail?). I'd really like to see an alternate head and collar piece for Clarice thrown in with one of the characters that makes her previous figure more in line with her AoA look.

New Crossbones, AOA Sunfire & AOA Wildchild Marvel Legends announced. Looks like AOA is getting a pretty serious wave. With Kyle announced, one would have to assume a new Victor isn't far behind. Not sure if CB or Shiro are very different from previous releases tho...

Oh wow... Maybe Yellow DD?

Ha! i screen shotted this when I saw it was your walking buddy so I could show my partner. We both loved demon hula girl.

This is so freaking cool!

There is literally 1 new figure in this wave... and I could not be more freaking excited!!! I've been Jonesing for Peter David X-Factor for ages now. This has to be my favourite assortment of the last couple of years!

It's a real shame too. I remember those sets fondly, as they were released at my first ever ComicCon. Getting to buy them when and where they were released was a bit magical. They were pretty great sets too. a whole team available all at once. great pack-ins like the Puck handstand piece & the Northstar/Aurora hand holding piece. Alt white hair for the twins. Flight stands. Bulked up Sasquatch. Those sets were packed. DST may have over estimated the viability of the team to attract casual buyers, but for long time collectors and AF fans, these sets were golden!

Welcome to our happy little home. Can't wait to see your set up once you get some higher shelves!

I would very happily buy any/all of the Life Foundation symbiotes.

Yup - this would wok just fine for me. Only 2 Max statues ever made it to retail; the Sentinel & Galactus. Prototypes existed of Spider-Man & Wolverine... and I think some lucky bugger here might actually have them! But no - they did not come with a Minimate figure. I am pretty sure they were licensed under a different agreement as ceramic statues. I wouldn't be surprised if the licensing had prohibited the statues and figures from being sold together.

YB - why must you break my heart so?

It's SUPER tenuous, but I'd kinda love a bunch of MCU characters in their unmade 616 looks. It doesn't really have a lot to do with the Marvel 80th, but a wave that paired any of the 616 versions of Mantis, Iron Monger, Whiplash, Malekith, Heimdall, Batroc, Nebula, Agent 13, Yondu, Ayesha, Shuri, M'Baku, Killmonger, etc... with big name classics would be kinda cool.
