I am okay with there potentially not being a Klaw moviemate here, since we'll presumably get one in late 2017

Like the lineups announced so far but I'm relieved that there will be a second specialty wave. It'd be pretty weak if we didn't get Wanda/Pietro and Hulk/Hulkbuster packs

The proposed film will probably mean that we'd end up seeing movie-verse versions instead of comic accurate looks.

I'd personally rather see some 616 versions on offer before the film hits.

Unfortunately if GOTG is anything to go by that is exactly what will happen

I imagine we'll be getting plenty of comic Guardians mates in the future, in the same way the Iron Man/Cap/Thor movies opened the door for more comic waves based on them

It sounds like Ultron has multiple looks in the film. And I imagine they're all fairly toyetic, just like the many Iron Man armors

I can't see how they would skip any out of:

Iron Man Mark something (regular armor)

Iron Man Hulkbuster

Captain America

Hulk

Thor

Black Widow

Hawkeye

Quicksilver

Scarlet Witch

Vision

Ultron(s)

Ultron Drone(s)

So many potential mates...

How expensive is the Lego set that Rocket comes in? Might pick it up just for him, looks like he'd fit well with these mates

It's possible we won't make all six, if one or two are particularly unpopular

Just so long as those one or two aren't Ronan or Thane

Maybe they'll do two waves? They haven't done it since Spider-Man 3 (?) but if any movie called for it it'd be this

Another thing is I can't imagine them not releasing a "standard" armor Iron Man, and we know that Hulkbuster will be in the movie too, so that's another slot

Will we get a look at Yondu anytime soon? He's the only TRU exclusive, right? #YOLO

Nice, that looks basically exactly like his comic design, just black instead of green. Which makes sense, the movie's already got a bunch of green what with Gamora and Drax

Doesn't really matter for the Star-Lord, everyone will use the alternate masked head the figure will undoubtedly come with anyway

That's putting an awful lot of faith in Hasbro. If a helmet look is produced it would probably be a variant. $$$

All of their Captain America: Winter Soldier movie figures come with alternate heads. Including Black Widow, who gets an Avengers head (she was skipped over in their Avengers wave)

Of course, she's ridiculously shortpacked...

Doesn't really matter for the Star-Lord, everyone will use the alternate masked head the figure will undoubtedly come with anyway

Wow those are the best looking Hasbro figures I've seen in a while. Gamora's face looks a little weird though. Might have to pick up a few. Definitely at least Rocket and Groot.

Groot might be a Build-a-figure, meaning you'd have to buy the whole series to get him. Apparently the wave is those 4 movie figures and then an Iron Man and a Nova

Here's the figures Hasbro is making:

Any chance we see these this weekend?

Same characters but apparently Widow and Falcon will be packed together (which leads me to believe Sitwell/Batroc will be short-packed)

OH. Is THAT who that is?! I was trying to figure out who the red head was. Well that's just silly. People are going to confuse her with ScarJo (Don't give me that look, you know they will) Why didn't they make her blond? Her father could have been blond. Her bottle of dye could have been blond. Just wondering why they went with another red head.

The redhead is ScarJo...

If you're talking about Sharon, I'm pretty sure she'll be blonde in the movie. They hired a blonde actress for the part

How about... uh... Bishop's sister, Shard? Venus from X-Statix?

There aren't many

I'm really interested in how they're going to pull off the Rocket Raccoon mate. I'm also really excited that toy shelves are going to be full of Guardians of the Galaxy merchandise next summer, mostly because I would have never believed that 2 years ago

I imagine the movie lineup will look something like:

LCS Wave

Star-Lord and Drax

Rocket and Groot

John C Reilly's Nova character and Nova Corpsman

Nova Prime (Glenn Close) and Nova Corpsman

TRU Wave

Star-Lord and Drax

Rocket and Groot

Gamora and Nebula

Ronan and Korath

Fingers crossed that DST will be kind enough to gift us a Vance Astro/Charlie-27/Yondu/Martinex boxset next year

There are technically 5 Marvel movies next year. Although I'm not sure if we'll get a Big Hero 6 movie wave, since it's being made by Walt Disney Animation instead of Marvel/Sony/Fox who produce the movies that usually get mates

I don't know if they'd do Cap/Falcon & Winter Soldier/Black Widow packs, as I imagine those same packs (character-wise) will be the shared sets between the LCS and TRU waves of the Cap sequel. Seems a little too close for comfort

Can someone post the list of fan poll runners-up for those of us without eidetic memories?

EDIT: Nevermind, saw it on page 9. That'll teach me to read through before posting

So no Kurse?

Although finally getting Heimdall/Fandral/Hogun is great

They've released some footage of Jane in Asgardian garb so that's a pretty good bet to be 'mated

There will probably be a Jane and a Kurse in the TRU sets, beyond that it seems like a crapshoot because there are so many characters. Maybe they'll pack them together and give us Fandral/Hogun as the other set
