"Yes, yes, yes, to all of those! I have always loved Wonderman's first appearance costume, never felt it was dated....the Swordsman, Stingray (love that guy and what a dynamic figure he would make if they can get the wings right)...."

I love the 70s era Avengers yet always seem to leave out Swordsman. Why? I don't like him, never felt he was worthy to be an Avenger.

Petty? LOL! I never got over that!! Funny how intense we can get about these characters. If they did him right he could be an excellent figure. His best look was when Dave Cockrum drew him. I'd never buy him, but I can see why others would.

Stingray, again, never saw him as an Avenger, but I do like him. I have no idea how they'd do the figure justice, unless it had wired soft goods for the big manta wings/ cape. Be interesting to see.

Wonder Man....I wanted all three "iconic" looks for him on the same model, regardless of the costume they used. Not seeing that happen now with the safari jacket already out. Regardless, I hope the green and red fa outfit appears before end of '24.

I hope not. Too much risk in getting figures stuck behind an overpriced ploy that will just trap them like hostages. I like to think we learned something from that GR campaign. I do hope that we will very soon see Yellowjacket, fa Wasp, classic Mantis and Moondragon by next year. Add to that fa Wonder Man and the long overdue Count Nefaria and Graviton figures? Maybe?

I'm expecting that Yellowjacket and FA Wasp will be part of the HasLab, which I'm sure will pi$$ some people off to put them behind that paywall. Dave of the Displaying Model Behavior YouTube channel said that Count Nefaria is coming in early 2024 according to his source. I'd love Graviton!

I just received the Drax/Moondragon 2-pack today and won't have a chance to crack it open until tonight - I'll likely share my thoughts at that time. Animated Gobin/MJ also came today as did Catman and Dredd Lantern from McFarlane.

Yes, yes, yes, to all of those! I have always loved Wonderman's first appearance costume, never felt it was dated. And don't forget She-hulk in her classic white and purple one piece, the Swordsman, Stingray (love that guy and what a dynamic figure he would make if they can get the wings right), Jack Of Hearts (they've already got the scale-mail arms and legs from figs like Dread Knight and the Green Goblin), and Eros/Starfox (he might be a forgotten Avenger, but given all his ties to Thanos, Mar-vell, Adam Warlock and earth's Eternals, he needs a figure).

Graviton! Graviton! Graviton! Lol! I have a funny feeling DMB's leaked/rumored list for 2024 figures is true, at least in part. So, I can see us getting ionic Count Nefaria in the near future (on Vulcan buck Hasbro, please!) Sooo, that leaves my guy Graviton. He has had a number of costumes over the years, the most recognizable being the current one with the metal shoulder pads and big red dot on his chest, but for my money, I really love his first appearance costume along with the white cape he added later (again, on the Vulcan buck Hasbro, please!). That would make me extremely happy! And let's not forget some other classic Avengers villains that also expand our cosmic characters. Character's like The Collector (already have the puffy arm and pant leg costume parts) and the Grandmaster (he's really tall and thin, so I can easily see parts of the What If? Watcher being used to make him), Korvac (couple versions to choose from, but his half human, half machine hovering platform would be the most sinister and creepiest). It would make a great BAF too! And let's not forget the only other villain who has been behind the scenes, pulling the Avengers strings as much as Loki over the long years... Immortus!

Ahh, I feel much better now, it's been a while since I rammed these suggestions down Hasbro's throat, lol!

Drax is so fn huge! He's awesome. Moondragon is good too. A Guardian, Avenger, and Defender all at once! My only criticisms are the arm articulation and the hands. They gave her spell/ energy casting hands. She should have had martial arts hands, like a female Shang Chi. They could.be reused for Mantis, Colleen Wing, Echo, ect. when we finally get comic versions. Here we had this 60th anniversary and still aren't that close to finishing the Avengers. Sersi Monica and Moondragon were the big wins. Otherwise we got a lot of characters we have already. Nice new looks, I like/bought most of them, but not unrepresented characters that check boxes.

I agree we got some big boxes checked with some long standing Avengers but would love to get more. Unfortunately a tailor made excuse to pump out randos like Moondragon and Sersi like this recent Anniversary line/wave may be awhile before another comes along.

Don't get me wrong; I absolutely prefer her classic outfit and expect to see it eventually. Commenting on this figure, however, I have to commend the work they did on her face, and its beyond excellent.

I received my two-pack today from Hasbro. The head sculpts for both are spot on for their personalities and temperaments. The sculpts are well chosen also. Drax being one of my favorite characters, I would have preferred at least his upper torso was on the Hulk buck or maybe the entire Venom-Pool buck. During this period, he was really that big! But overall, extremely happy to have these characters. The Inifinity Watch, another team we need more characters from, is well on it's way to completion. If and when they do release Moondragon in a more traditional costume, I can add her to my Defenders or Avengers display as well. Another great release from the Hasbro Team this year. 2023 has really reinvigorated my enthusiasm for Marvel Legends; getting all these new characters related to the Avengers and the 'Marvels' as opposed to movie figs, alternate realities and mutants. Keep 'em coming Hasbro and great job!

Yeah this set has shipped from Pulse for me, I had to order this, this is my Drax, and Moondragon is lovely, I'm really excited for this to come my way, they both look excellent, this isn't the moondragon I would have asked for personally but I'll take what I can get, and this 2 pack is awesome. they both look super good, Drax is something else, thats the Drax I grew up with, and Just to finally get Moondragon in any way is so awesome, I'd double dip if they offered up a classic version, but if not I'm so cool with getting this.

OHHHH...look at that face. Oh wow did they ever do a good job. That's such a nice expression for Moondragon. Excellent, excellent.
