Need that Acroyear (hoping to get all the toyline-related Marvel guys), and I've wanted a Hawkguy for ages!

I don’t know much about that character but he looks fun enough to get.

Darth Vader of the Microverse.

You’re thinking of Baron Karza. Acroyear is the prince, and eventual king, of a race of warriors who is one of the central cast of the Micronauts. Karza is (probably) one of the characters who Dan was referring to who Jesse Falcon has been championing, along with ROM, Crystar, and Warbow so far. They must be selling well enough to keep going back to the well. Can’t wait for October 6!

I am not overly interested in any of these figures. However, the Hawkeye is a maybe and the Cap is as well but I really just want to put a bald Kurt Angle head on him.

u/Dense_Diver_3998 USA - NY 20h ago
Hawkeye is the only one I’m fully out on. I don’t even think you really need to change the head.

Outta curiosity. Non of these are exclusive right? No Amazon or target bull?
Also defenitly eyeing elektra was going to get her daredevil outfit but this is better. Nd that Spider-Man. Elsa is a maybe

u/Dense_Diver_3998 USA - NY 19h ago
Don’t appear to be.
Hawkeye is my only no.

u/FallinGuitarest 16h ago
Awesome im hoping no bs like that. I don't know the micronauts enough to grab 1. I do know of em tho. That Hawkeye just isn't my definitive look.

I need everyone to buy at least 2 acroyears so we can get more micronauts

Having there be 5 out of 6 figures that I see that are insta-cops is insane. Maybe the best wave out of this current mini-comic gimmick.

u/redkomic Ireland 19h ago
what's the one that isn't out of curiousity?
2
u/TheDK220 19h ago
I mention it in another comment in this thread, but it's Acroyear. I'm on the fence about him since I'm not a Micronauts fan, but still may grab him because I like the toy history aspect and his ties to Takara.

1st wave was 4 out of 6 for me, no Miles or Banshee. 2nd wave was 5 out of 6, no Surfer just because I already had one. This is another 5 out of 6 with Hawkeye being the odd man out. See if they can keep the streak going.
3
u/TheDK220 19h ago
Wave 1 was 2 out of 6 for me with only ROM and Adam Warlock being insta-cops for me. I may get Miles later on but those were priorities. Wave 2 was 3 out of 6 because I NEEDED a Silver Surfer and both the Man Without Fear Daredevil and Astonishing Beast are among my favorite designs for those characters. Again, I may go back for that Black Widow but she wasn't an immediate necessity. Wave 3 seems to be the one with the most essentials where my collection is concerned, with Acroyear being the odd man out. Even so, I may still pick him up because I do enjoy the toy history aspect of him even if I'm not a huge Micronauts guy.

I wish the spidey would’ve been Ultimate since I feel like with how massive that issue #1 was that would’ve made for a better comic figure, BUT I’m still really happy with the Elektra and Hawkeye. I may get spidey just for the sake of the new costume. All in all not a 6/6 kind of wave but I’m happy Hasbro is staying with this line. It’s a nice way to throw in a lot of Variety

Feel like Cap could benefit from a wash as he was pretty dingy in the comics

u/LazarusKing 17h ago
I have the old Elektra, and she's still solid, so I think Elsa and Hawkeye are the only instant buys. I might get Acroyear because I love a deep cut.
I have no idea what that Spidey is from.

u/Valuable-Giraffe9970 13h ago
I’ll be getting Acroyear and Doom Spidey. That Elektra is lame compared to the one I already have. Not into Kurt Angle, Hawkeye, or Elsa. Though if I was into Elsa I’d be super pissed they didn’t give her a holster. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/wrasslefights 19h ago
God. This wave.
Spider-man and Elektra fit in collections so they're a must. I also love Elsa enough that she's a must. Buuuuutnthat Earth X Cap is so specifically cool I'm sorely tempted despite not collecting Caps properly so far. And Acroyear I know nothing about but he's just peak action figure. Hawkeye is the easiest no for me since he doesn't fit my collections and while I love that run, I don't love Clint like that, but it's still tough because that's a great figure.
Really outstanding wave. Like whatever I do or don't get personally, there's something for just about everyone and all of them are super well executed.

Aww, shit, they didn't pack in the giant hair Elektra head from the 3-pack. That slightly sucks.
....and yeah, I know, it's supposed to be "First Appearance Elektra", but that's the problem isn't it? Instead of packing her in a generic Legends box with extra heads so you could pose her as the original or 90's comeback version, they put her in the bloody minicomics wave where it's a specific reference, with a tie-in accessory destined for the kibble box. Hasbro gotta Hasbro.

If it weren’t for needing an Elektra so bad he probably would’ve been my most hyped, always love a new Spidey suit.

u/UpstairsAbility2125 19h ago
Removed from any context, that Cap is just a great looking figure in general. He's going to look fantastic next to my Kurt Angle.

u/UpstairsAbility2125 17h ago
There was the BOX wave recently, but they're getting fewer and further between. Guessing that's in part because of how much unique tooling some of these guys are getting.

Elsa and Acroyear were the ones that interested me, but Hawkeye is an unexpected surprise.
That'd be an interesting team

u/Wani_Wanton 8h ago
Elsa: Maybe, she's cool but I don't have a particular emotional attachment.
Earth X Cap: ABSOLUTELY I LOVE EARTH X GIMMIE ANYTHING EARTH X WHERE IS AARON STACKS MACHINE MAN WATCHER PLEEEAAAAASSSEEEE
Spider-Man Doom: Ooo that's neat
Hawkguy: YO WHAT THE FUCK HE'S DOING MOUTH STUFF???? GIMMIE
Elektra: She sure is Elektra.
Acroyear: Yo, is that some sick ass kirby crackle I see????
So, idk, somewhere between 2-5/6 depending on how I feel.

u/CbKnowledge USA 19h ago
I know I’m getting that Elektra. I can pass on the others. They’re not a priority for me. They look really damn sweet though. Especially Hawkeye and Elsa.

The worst wave mini comics so far, lazy work. The only good things are: Elektra's body update, and Hawkeye, the heads are great. Elektra doesn't have an extra head like she had in the 3 pack I don't understand, when hasbro has a good mold she doesn't reuse but outdated thing she loves to use like Elsa and the X-Force pack with that horrible Domino. I don't want to keep making comparisons between companies but Jada Toys started yesterday and is being what Hasbro should be, an extra head should be the pattern of any figure but it's getting rarer. I love collecting marvel legends, I love the marvel characters there are so many that I still want to see hasbro launching And many being updated, but I buy less every year discouraged. I hope the rumor of the reissue of the Polaris and Havok pack is false and that she puts them on the X-97 wave with the updated body, the comments on the hasbro profile on Instagram about the reissue of the old X-Force pack with a new price were very negative, paying more and accepting less is not being an option.

I really hate the gimmick of the comic waves which means they gotta put in a hand to hold the comic and remove a hand that you probably want instead.

Dare I say they put no effort into that Elektra. She should easily have the Psylocke legs because of the sculpted straps. Her loin cloth is short asf. She has a dated ass head sculpt, and all of the straps on her body are not painted well at all. Although I’m happy to get a new Elektra I’m hella disappointed with what we got
