As much as I liked the movie, and love the character, considering the figure will be covered in rubber-like material and stuck with mostly a museum pose I'd almost rather have the wizard.

Not necessarily. If they use the BvS Batman approach, he'd be very poseable with minimal risk of damage. That's what I'm hoping for...

Where was this info?
I wonder what the material will look like. The VGM Spider-Man's costume looks amazing - I wonder if they'll use that kind of material for superheroes going forward.
They're doing those Cosbaby toys for Venom. If they have the license it seems like a matter of time until they do an outright HT figure.

They do a million cosbabys that they don't do HT of.

That’s true. I mean we’ve never seen Incredibles figures, so I don’t think one lends itself as a marker for the other. I mean even sticking with superheroes we never got many of the cosbabies they done for various licenses

I could see him being a Toy Fairs exclusive this year to be honest.
Revealed at SDCC in a few weeks probably.

I could see it being the same reason they didn't do anyone else from Deadpool besides DP or why they didn't do anything from Logan. I swear the Disney arm of Marvel doesn't want them promoted. It's insane that the HT Deadpool figure is basically the only movie Deadpool figure out there. No legends or anything, same with Logan except there's zero Logan movie based figures.

I think it has to do something about X-men restart planning by Marvel, DP and Logan are part of it.
We need a rebooted X Men with actual costumes that is not just street clothes. Thank god the clowns who were in charge of previous X Men are no longer in charge.

They weren't making X-Men figures before the Fox merger happened either. Hence Disney/Marvel's call to not have those films licensed for merchandise to hamper them.
Movie rights were at Fox, Toy and Videogame rights still belonged to marvel. They went through a phase of trying desperately to kill off the X-Men and replace them with the InHumans but they are just too popular. So they were reluctant to license anything that could benefit Fox.

Wolverine was the only one made from the Fox films, we got a bunch of Hugh. The prevailing rumor was that it was a pain to get Marvel to approve them so HT just stopped trying. We saw photos for First Class but never made.
That's Ike Perlmutter, he stopped companies from supporting the Fox films. He brought everything to a halt to try and get Fox to lose cash and get the rights to Marvel. While Marvel had the rights to merchandising he was trying to kill the public consciousness to the films and hopefully affect the box office.

And he succeeded. Dark pheonix bombed and the rights are back so that means more toys hopefully
Yeah, I know fans were pissed when Marvel Comics pretty blatantly started shelving the Fantastic Four and X-Men in lieu of, say, Guardians of the Galaxy. But it's business. And hardball business tactics can work. Of course, Fox's own ineptitude didn't hurt things.
He saw the Cosbaby and assumed. I doubt it happens.
