    Note: The other two listed costumes are *not* Red Goblin and Pirate Deadpool as pictured above. Norman and Wade just fit with the image visuals and theme, so we went with them. Still two new costumes to come!

    They will be the featured characters for their given event.

    The first ??? bundle looks like it will be on offer when the SM vs S6 boss event is on, I wonder if it has something to do with those characters.
    The second ??? bundle looks like one of those $75 bundles for a 5*, with tokens usually to a special Legendary Store...

    With two "????s" (one 4* & one 5*, based on the implied offers) we could get both a 4* Riddler (Jim Carrey or John Astin) and a 5* Riddler (Frank Gorshin).

    If anyone was wondering....

    The listing of PVPs syncs up with a New 4 PVP on 11/10, so a new 4* release 11/7.  Which is what I think most people expected anyway (2 weeks from Carnage).

    Those would make awesome additions to Marvel Puzzle Quest.  8^)

    I like to think Frank Gorshin's portrayal of the Riddler transcends corporate trademarks...

    Opps.  Meant to quote @shardwick although admittedly, it's still a dumb joke regardless :)

    @IceIX Please give us a break from these fortnightly character releases  :s
    Human Torch came August 29th. Worthy Cap was September 19th. Spider-Man 2099 was October 10th. Carnage's *normal* release store, with CP tokens, starts October 31st.

    This IS a break.

    Yeah, at that rate of release, we're down to one 4 star a month. Paired with the potential dilution solution rollout coming in roughly the next month/month and a half, I think we're making progress to new characters not coming as rapidly as before. I may actually have Spider-Man 2099 at 10 covers before the current season ends and can move to getting the covers I need for Torch and MartyrCap.

    Torch to Cap was 3 weeks; Cap to 2099 was 3 weeks.

    But all the other characters in 2019, and 2018, and 2017 averaged 2 weeks apart.  Occasionally they pushed someone to 3 weeks but followed that with one a week later.

    At the moment....I consider 10/24 Carnage's release which is 2 weeks after 2099, and 11/7 will be 2 weeks from today (10/24).

    Maybe they paused things because of work on the targeted character system and new PVEs around Anniversary but I expect them to continue with releases 2 weeks apart...probably....for the rest of the year and full steam ahead into 2020.

    BUT would welcome 3 week intervals as the norm.

    EDIT:  I didn't mean to derail this thread into a discussion about the release schedule and maybe this should be broken out into it's own thread...

    You know....since it's Halloween and all, and we are getting a 5* Carnage, it would be nice if the Red Goblin costume would be offered in a sub-$74.99 offer, as the first re-offered costume.


    @IceIX

    Is there any comment on the VIP benefits not including a costume any longer?  Is there a plan to reintroduce that?  Seems like Halloween would be a good time to bring that back.

    You know what would be a great Halloween event?  A new feeder. Any obvious choices?

    How about the Goddess of Death?

    Makes the most sense for Halloween. Unless they're pairing it with one of those costume releases. Like, if one of the costumes is a more vicious form of Hulk (Venom Hulk or Immortal Hulk from recent comic runs?), it might make sense for Banner to get a feeder. Doubt such would go over well without a rework, but it's a thought.

    If their anniversary was not a "special event", (to warrant a feeder)….. you really think Halloween does??  LOL
