All I'll be able to think about from now until August is the X-Men Animated set. Thank goodness I just got a boat load of new Venoms and Spider-Villains to keep my brain occupied while we wait.
As for the giant Icetron, wasn't Ice Man only on 1 episode of the show? And I'm like 99.9% sure he never built an Optimus PrIce on that episode. Not to mention Mojo as a Colossal. I'm equally sure he wasn't larger than normal on his episode...so...there's hope for other Colossals not related to the show? Not that I'm gonna hold my breath for that long-awaited Colossal Mysterio Illusion, Sandman or Absorbing Man. But I guess there's a slim chance.
Actually, there isn't much of a chance of getting any of those. For the past few years X-Men have been isolated from the other properties. Due to Disney buying Fox this will most likely change BUT judging by the fact that the only Collosals shown arte X related, I doubt there'll be any non-x characters in this set.....
They probably read the post that was 4 posts above yours, which came from EmperorJoker's LGS owner who is at GAMA.
But that's still just a random person on the internet. I'm not saying he's lying but trusting info without evidence is exactly how so much nonsense gets spread around the internet....
Update on WWE clix from my local store manager attending GAMA. Figs will be sold individually in non-blind boosters with a 7.99 price tag. 18 figs in the first wave. They plan on doing a total of 50. If it does well, then they will release future waves of 10-12 figures.
Also confirmed that GI Joe, Transformers, and Pony will NOT be clix. Only unpainted minis.
Not buying it. $8 is too much for one fig and if they're going to non-blind, I'd assume you'd see sets (i.e. 5 figs for X price). There's always a less popular figure and having them in a pack mitigates figures sitting around.
Also, I'd be surprised if the three other properties were unpainted. I believe they won't be clix, but it's seems odd that they won't be painted.

At $8 a pop those WWE figures might be a hard sell.
Some are just not going to be in the same demand as others, so while a flat rarity might mean that it's as easy to get wrestler X as wrestler Y, that only really matters if you are there earlier than the next guy that wants that figure.
If you wait a couple of days? Then there may be no more Stone Colds or Macho Men available, but will the venue want to reorder if they still have Finn Balor, John Cena, Charlotte Flair, and Rhonda Rousey sitting on the shelf?
And how are they packed for shipping? I am guessing that they will be in boxes for shelf display, so it shouldn't be a CTD type of thing (that would limit access to figures and people would be digging through them to find who they want), so maybe 36 figures (two of each) per case order?
I wonder what the retailer cost is? How many figures out of a display will have to sell in order to break even?
I wonder if we are in for repeats here of some wrestlers here? Might we get both a classic "Deadman" Undertaker as well as the "Biker" version, or is it one version only?
I hope for the latter.
Man... $8 a pop makes it tough on me. I could have seen myself trying to get a lot of these guys, but now I think that I am going to have to be a lot pickier.
Undertaker, Kane, and the Road Warriors are going to be absolute wants. Beyond that it might start depending on the dials. Still, Stone Cold and, if they make him, of course, Sting would be worth checking out. I'm sure that there will be plenty of guys like that... Some might depend on the version of the character, too, like with the Undertaker example I gave... The Deadman is who I would want more, not so much the American Badass.

I like the WWE information. Hopefully I'll be able to get a full set quickly then.
Not happy that GI Joe & Transformers are non clix. The unpainted part I don't mind since I could paint them myself. But they will both have become a wait and see product. Will see if I can get a few of my favs from them.

I checked on our post on Two Clicks From KO and quite a few people are in the comments saying that it was announced at GAMA by WizKids. Looking to be more likely.

Sad to hear those properties wont be closed but oh well.
Man 7.99 per fig. I wonder how expensive the licensing rights are, or are they maybe planning to market these mass market. Maybe in the toy section at stores, usually there is a section of toys for WWE stuff but man 7.99 seems pretty pricey. The none blind boosters kinda make sense if they aim for the Mass Market though just as someone else pointed out I feel there will be a bunch of duds left around if you dont group them together like teams packs were made in Streets of Gotham.

Man technically non blind will develope its own rarity. If everyone want Mach Man, only one I want, then suddenly Randy is the Chase. I hope at that price point this doesn't slip over to franchises I care about. Sorry WWE guys.

Hence my "slim chance" comment "Slim chance" and "...isn't much of a chance" are 2 sides of the same coin
I'm (naively and desperately) hoping that for once gauntlet =/= pick-a-power.
After Exopsex another PaP object is no-win scenario. Either it's better and thus OP as hell, or not as good and everyone cries foul that the Gauntlet is outdone by such a (relatively) minor object at less than half the cost.
So assuming they are chases, and that they're coming with certain chase figures ala Mighty Thor
Gauntlet - Pretty much has to be Thanos
Infinity Cube - Red Skull?
Plus 4 more objects w/ characters, perhaps Avengers Villains as a *very* broad theme, we know Kang's in the set. So Kang w/ Time Chair is probably happening even if it's not another of the chases.
If I'm right I'll be more irked at villains being chases than the objects. I don't worry too much about chasing high dollar equipment, but a beastly Kang dial would be mighty tempting. Thanos I feel pretty good about after Secret War.
Popular villians as chases! Nooooo! Villians are already skipped over enough. To finally get them and this. I know it is impossible but if the Ultra Chase is Dr. Doom we riot.
Kang with Time Chair makes sense. I wonder who other 3 will be? It says 11 items and there are 6 chase spots. So the gems are in CUR spots only 5 right? Then 6 Chase items. It says items come with character so at least no worries of 4 figure plus item booster.
Wait there are 6 gems. So either 1 is a chase or some chases will not be as good, no item, as others.
