I’d take a living colossus but he’d have to be at a colossal scale.

I wouldn't say no, he'd be a cool unique character on the shelf.

IT would be a cool addition to Marvel Legends. Especially if they included Bob O’Bryan and: or Doctor Vault with him. Unfortunately, the scale IT would need to be, to match Fin Fang Foom, would be pretty cost prohibitive for me. I don’t think I’d be able to get IT.

I would take Squid in his original look, but he's definitely not someone I'm dying to have.

Squid, in his first look, would be a probable buy, if executed well.

This ^

I like the look, but I am not dying to get him. Hell I would probably fudge him into the Serpent Society if I did ever get him.

There are a lot of other minor weird Spidey villains I'd rather have first (hello Mindworm and Gibbon!) but I'd buy Squid.

I'm pretty much right there with everyone else on this character.

Squid first showed up a bit after I stopped reading, so normally it would make for an easy pass from me, but I suppose it's a combination of being a Spidey villain, one of his animal-themed villains at that, and having a mildly interesting look (at least in his original outfit), that puts him on my maybe list instead of the pass list.

But like it's been mentioned, there are plenty of other villains generally, villains more Spidey-specific, and goofy villains still undone that I'd prefer to see before Squid. And again, he's from after my reading days, so my interest is nearly zero. But I've always found the character's original look to be a good fit for the Spidey-corner, so yeah, ultimately a maybe.

Charlie-27: I'd be tempted, IF the figure looked really good. Only interested in comic appearance though.

Nightwatch: No interest, but I kinda hope he gets made just to see all the customs of Spawn in Marvel Legends style.

Stingray: HELL YEAH! Great costume design, and VERY toyetic!

Jolt: I used to drink her cola, but I'm still not interested.

IT!: I like the idea of a figure of the Living Colossus in theory, but I seriously doubt I'd purchase. Plus, there are way too many Marvel Monsters I'd rather have.

Squid: Nah...not for me.

Original look Squid would be a definite buy, although like his more famous cephalopod-themed villainous cohort (Doc Ock, of course), he NEEDS BENDY TENTACLES.
