Hasbro has been on a steady incline since bringing back ML in 2012 and this year they&#8217;ve been killing my wallet with great figures! <\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t kept every single one (that&#8217;s how BAFs work&#8230;), but the Odin Wave, the Hobgoblin Wave, the Coulson 3pk, the Thanos Wave, the Ant-Man wave, the Hulkbuster Wave &#8211; I just keep buying these things! My ML shelf is pretty much Hasbro-dominant at this point thanks to their great Marvel Team. Hasbro hasn&#8217;t had their Marvel panel yet, but that didn&#8217;t stop them from debuting a new wave on the convention floor! With a new, and awesome, Absorbing Man as the build-a-figure, the next Spidey Wave is also scheduled to include: <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"newsimages\/sdcc2015\/mlabsorb01.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Janice Lincoln Beetle&#8230; okay, well one character I had to look up isn&#8217;t bad, the scorching-hot-right-now Spider-Gwen, the best Jack O&#8217;Lantern figure there&#8217;s ever been, an update of the Ben Reilly Spider-Man on the current fantastic Spidey buck, a long overdue update to Morbius (does anyone have one without a melted face?), a classic Venom (with no blue overspray, thank you Dwight!), and frikkin&#8217; Speed Demon! He&#8217;s been such a longshot all these years that I don&#8217;t even put him on my want list. My first thought was that I basically made up this line up myself. We&#8217;ve got five figures easily replacing their older counterparts and three great first appearances in the line.
