     If it is Yondu, I can think of at least one cool mechanic, his whistling arrow tearing through enemies. Might be a simple AoE, but would be more interesting if it would have an extra layer to it like 5pidey's green.

    I would think we're on schedule for a 5*, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

    It really depends on what schedule we're on right now. Pattern is supposed to be 5/4/4, and we've deviated only once, recently. Spidey, Vulture, Mockingbird, Yondu, as 5/4/4/5, says Yondu should be a 5*. (and it means we skipped a 4* between Doc Ock and Spidey)

    But that's the new pattern. The old pattern (which was intact from Doctor Strange up until Spidey, and may go back further, I'm just too lazy to do the work to double check), starting with Doc Ock, would go Doc/Sandman/Spidey as a 5/4/4, and Vulture/Mockingbird/Yondu as a 5/4/4. Spidey/Vulture was where we deviated, and if we guess (I was going to say "presume", but it really is a guess more than anything), that Spidey/Vulture were switched to put Spidey alongside his movie (rather than skipping a 4* in the release pattern, those two entries were switched), then Yondu would be a 4*, and we'd be getting a 5* the weekend before The Defenders hits Netflix.

    Reality is, we'll figure out the pattern when we know if he's a 4*/5*, and can plan forward from there (assuming no further deviations, at least).

    Back on topic of the character, I'd love to see Yondu have his arrow and an effect similar to 5* Spidey's green, zipping about and hitting random enemies.

    Perfect time for the home video release. :D

    Spot on there. Fits the hint perfectly. I am excited about Yondu. He was epic in the movies. Cannot wait !

    I hope not 5*. If it were Namor, 5* might make sense, but Yondu, while popular in the movies, was a supporting character rather than a starring role. While his role as one of the original Guardians in comics does give some possibility, that iteration of Guardians just didn't get the importance of the new line up.

    The release schedule of characters puts this about two weeks before the DVD, so there should probably be one more. Instead of a clue for the follow-up, can you just say "Fine, it's Nebula?"
    I think he's going to be a 4* since Vulture & Spidey switched places so Spidey would be in time for his movie. But also think they are saving Nebula for Infinity War, since she has a big role in the story.

    "He may be your father, but I'm your daddy", that line was awesome!

    Ooh, I didn't even think of that.  I was thinking of Ulik the Troll, but it seemed like a long shot.

    For cross-promotion character releases, they seem to pay more attention to the downloadable dates than the Blu-Ray sale date.  I... don't even really know why they aren't the same day, but I'm the old fart still buying these things on Blu-Ray so what do I know?

    Presumably the download dates are closer to the same world-wide?

    Character details forum says the new character is 4*.  The one after will most likely be a 5*.

    JJ makes perfect sense if you look at the character roster like it's an orchestra that needs another instrument. Wishful thinking might get us Stick or Hellcat or (should the gods be generous) the Daughters of the Dragon (Misty Knight and Colleen Wing as a R&G/C&D combo character, please and thank you!)

    But the MPQ release trend and business pattern says "5* MCU version." Daredevil (one 3*) is most likely, Cage/Fist (two versions, one 4* each released with Netflix show) as a possible Heroes for Hire combo character if you're willing to include wishful thinking.

    It'll be the same when Thor: Ragnarok comes out. Valkyrie, Hela, Skurge, Sif, Heimdall, plenty of options for "new people." But we'll get a 5* Thor MCU version, and maybe a 4* Hulk or Loki. (though, with Mordo coming out with Strange's DVD and Yondu appearing to come out with GotG2's DVD, odds of maybe Valkyrie alongside Ragnarok's DVD release don't seem too bad)

    I don't know tinykitty1 from tinykitty2, but 5* Thor seems likely. Heimdall would be awesome -- but, then, I have a huge crush on Idris Elba lol...
