NEWS – Hasbro December Livestream ’23 Summary

Hey, my fellow Plastic Addicts. Today Dwight and the gang had their final livestream of 2023, where they revealed a good amount of figures. See here if you want to watch the whole video but for thoses that just want the cliff notes, here we go. They started off by showing off the prototype figure of the Red Widow figure that was revealed earlier in the year at Pulse Con.

Next they revealed that we will be getting some MCU Infinity Saga figures starting with Iron Man 85 from Endgame and Iron Spider-man from the Infinity War. They will also have new packaging. Yes these are straight repaints/re-releases, but I suspect that with Deadpool 3 being the only MCU figure for next year, alot of their plans for the years have been held back for a bits so they are filling up people MCU needs with these.

Next they revealed some exclusive both being Captain America but not the same Cap. Target will be getting a re-release/repaint of the Sam Wilson Captain America but this time he will be coming with his wings and his own signature shields. Walmart on the other hand will be getting Hydra Captain America from the Secret Empire saga.

Next they went went back over the second X-men ’97 wave that was revealed yesterday. Nothing new they didn’t reveal yesterday but for those that missed it, the wave, which I should remind people is based on the upcoming X-men ’97 animated series, will consist of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Magneto, Goblin Queen and X-Cutioner.

Continuing the mutants themes, Wolverine is celebrating his 50th anniversary and to celebrate they are releasing four 2-packs, each with some version of the feral Canadian. Revealed earlier in the year, Lilandra will be coming with a Brood infected Wolverine. A new Jim Lee style Sabretooth will finally be put on the Omega Red body and will come with a cowboy Wolverine. Betsy Braddock will get a new figure this time in her Lady Mandarin form on a whole new body and will come with black suit Wolverine. For the last 2-pack, the long request Tuxedo Hulks and Patch will come together.

After doing their annual drafting thing they finished off the live stream with a brand new Angel figure in his red and white costume with a brand new set of wings. To me this was the highlight of the stream just for this amazing wings alone. This will be a deluxe set so expect it to cost more.

As always they teased a flame effect for an upcoming figure. Nothing in the rumor list suggest who this is from but given that it’s X-men heavy, I am hoping it’s Rachel Summers that was teased years back.
