Hoping we see some stuff for Quantumania but not getting my hopes up.

We might see the comic figures from the wave

I hope the rumored Hyperion is from Hickmans New Avengers.

At least we haven't gotten reveal listing for 2024 unlike Transformers

I certainly wouldn't say No to a Savage Land Rogue but considering the rumoured Fan Channel Outback Rogue I think the likelihood of getting two different Rogues in one year is unlikely. Unfortunately.

You dont believe that Target and Walmart are only getting one exclusive each next year, though, right? Or that Walgreens and Amazon will get none? There are a lot of possibilities here. Among them, Rektangular added some speculation to the list, he consolidated info from a second source, he got some information wrong, etc. Its true that the annual anniversary line seems always to feature exactly ten offerings, and two to three of them are usually exclusives, so its possible his list had eight, but then he got info about the two exclusives separately, or that he combined the eight-figure list with another rumour he had heard to make some educated guesses.

His track record over the last few years is sloppy as hell. He got lucky this year and got the annual distributor preorder dump before anyone else, but his record shows that he will discuss unvetted rumours just as readily as more reliable ones. The list is clearly based on good info, and I expect most (if not all) of it to be true, but that doesnt mean its 100% based on that info, and it certainly doesnt mean its 100% comprehensive. In years past, there have even been entire waves that didnt appear on the distributor preorder list (like the Thor BAF wave), that ended up just popping up out of nowhere. His list already didnt account for Ronan or the X-Men retro wave (the latter of which appeared on the previous years list, which would explain his not having it).

Ah I see what youre saying now. I dont believe the list contains all of whats in store for 2023, nor do I think those 2 are the only exclusives. I just thought you were saying that the leaked list didnt have any exclusives on it, thats all. I dont follow or know anything about rektangular other than what gets shared here at marvelous so I appreciate the insight.

Rektangular's leaks for 2023 have been spot on so far, so I don't expect to see anything that wasn't on that list, at least during the first half of the year. He was right about the Moon Knight re-issue, the Avengers comic wave , the Stryfe 5-pack, Blob deluxe and the X-Men 3-packs all before they were announced. He hasn't had any misses yet. If that holds true then the things expected to be released during the first half of 2023 that we've haven't seen any indication of yet are the GOTG movie wave + Groot/Rocket deluxe, Into the Spiderverse movie wave + Cyborg Spider-Woman deluxe, gamerverse Spider-Man (Parker) fan channel figure, Outback Rogue fan channel figure, Franklin/Valeria 2-pack and the comic X-Men wave featuring Astonishing Cyclops and Emma (and Corsair, Kid Omega, Monet Chamber and Fang!), Ant-Man movie wave, Marvels movie wave and the next Disney+ wave with Kingpin, Agatha etc. Now it's always possible that Hasbro tries to sneak something else in there that wasn't already leaked, but I'd expect it likely have to be during the second half of the year. The leaked Spider-Man comic wave, Hyperion/DrSpectrum 2pack or the X-Men '97 wave all could possibly hit earlier than the August/September projected dates too I guess. Regardless it's going to be an expensive year for me!

Its likely that the list is missing retailer exclusives. For instance (and I may be misremembering), I dont think Ronan was on the list. The list was more-or-less directly pulled from Hasbros preorder solicitations for wholesale distributors, so it wouldnt have Walmart/Target/Amazon/Walgreens/GameStop exclusives, since those products arent offered to distributors.
