Well, this is literally Hasbro's new initiative for 2024 so we'll see if it expands past Star Wars or not.
Don't forget what drives alot of these things is brick and mortar stores. We may go "nobody needs solid case packs of Mando" but apparently Target and Walmart have literally asked for this stuff because they want characters who have a track record of selling. It's been reported that Target and Walmart absolutely refuse any Sequels or Prequels stuff not clones or one figure buried in a wave simply because of the glut of Roses and Phantom Menace 3D figures back in the day. Marvel Legends BAF waves are all online only now, and that very well may be Target and Walmart wanting more Retro carded figures because nostalgia sells. But Joe is not Star Wars, and needs fresh faces to move product. The Kidman likeness doesn't really translate well for a "Southern Bell."

Directly from Mondoshop. They just recently started shipping directly from the factory in China rather than getting in a big shipment and then shipping it themselves. They've done that with my last few 1/12 X-men. Sorry I can see how that was not very clear in my last post.

See the attached and witness the absurdity that was Firm's Mondo Skeletor Debacle EDIT: This isn't even the full tracking history. It was delivered on the 7th.

I got my Deluxe Skeletor shipped directly from the factory and it was the worst experience I have ever had with shipping. I cannot stand DHL. I placed 4 calls to DHL and 2 to Customs. The Customs lady was very helpful and incredibly understanding. Basically, DHL blamed eveything on them. It was not the fault of Customs. It was not her first Rodeo with them. The tracking STARTS on the 27th. But, Mondo sent me a Shipping Notice on the 18th.

Also just in general...I wish companies would stop sending shipping notifications when it's just a label being printed. It's not "shipped" until the carrier scans it, which can be days later. Very annoying.

The Banner 2-pack is supposed to be the OG Hulk, not Fixit (he was initially gray):
And the 20th Anniversary (sorry wasn't Avengers but Marvel Legends) is green: Point being, both are relatively recent and are on the new-ish Buck. But if they wanted to release another green Hulk like the 1st Appearance of Wolverine 2-pack/SDCC Ex, I'd be down for him, too. |

20th anniversary Hulk is on the same buck as the 80th. Skaar is on a new mold that can be easily be repurposed anyways and Dan said they finished Skaar a long time ago during the reveal. My point is promotional synergy, that people will be more inclined to buy a hulkbuster if there is a cool hulk that's available to go along with him. Yes gray hulk wasn't joe fixit at first and gray hulk was the first manifestation but they are the same personality. There's speculation anyways that a new Hulk was already teased with the rock throw last stream with it being one of his signature moves in Capcom games. So a new Hulk can still happen.
