@red_ogre Okay, thought it being a one piece and from the Marvel Alliance game it was shoe in, lol
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they rereleae at least Zabu, with all that unique tooling. Not only will he probably get into a multipack of some sort, most likely with Shana, but the body may even be repurposed for another animal character down the line. Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything not obscure. But I'm sure they'll think of something. They usually do. So I'm gonna skip getting them all.
I'll get Kazar, probably, just in case he doesn't come in said new pack. And Cable, cause I love the outfit, even though I think it looks a bit odd, not sure what's wrong with it, just looks odd. Maybe the legs? And Rahne, cause I've been wanting one forfuckingever. She is a bit of mixed bag though. The yellow does look wrong compared to the rest of the team. Her entire fur coloring looks wrong, too bright, kinda like they did with Cheeto Tigra, and then fixed her later. And I'm not 100% sold on the face yet. I'll buy it, and if I think it needs changes, I'll paint the fur, and give her the old Rahne head from Walgreens. I personally like that one. She'd be easier to paint then Tigra was. No stripes. Just worry about paint rub in the joints and getting all the nooks and crannys considering I won't be able to take her apart like older figures. One of the drawbacks to pinless joints. I was honestly mowing over doing a custom with the Walgreens versions parts and a Polaris figure. Now I don't have to.
Speaking of Tigra, they did her. She was fan channel, and the rerelease "fixed" version is in a multipack. But, they didn't oversexualize her like they could've (should've?). She has basically the same outfit as a Lady Death figure would, without all of the horny put into the sculpt. So I can see them doing the same with Shana. Probably could use the same basic design, scrap basically any cleavage or a thong, throw on maybe a cloth overlay on her crotch and butt, and still throw her in the fan channel section or mutlipack with Zabu. Their fear of making any kind of remotely close to sexy figure is asanine. They know it's not 10 year old kids buying these anymore. They know it's us. I'm not asking for one of those anime statues that has removable clothing here. I'm asking for something that looks closer to the comic art then a TV Y nick jr version. Angela was a surprise they did her the way they did. Scarlet Witch is another figure who actually got the good upstairs treatment, but all subsequent releases of that body have had painted chests and necks. No flesh. Again, I'm not asking of hentai figures. If I wanted those I'd buy those. But boobs exist, and to pretend they don't is a bit... I can't think of a good word. Suppressing? Reverting? Naive? Someone smarter then me can find the word. Let the soccer moms complain, they're not buying this shit anyway. We are.
Agreed. I want the figure to match the art. They release Kazar wearing boots and a loincloth, but can’t release a comic-accurate Shanna. It’s ridiculous.

The term you're looking for is "double standard". We also would have accepted "horseshit".
Not sure if this is the right time to bring this up, but... uh...
What's the status of the nipples on that Ka-zar figure?
Somebody needs to slap some sense into whoever is in charge of letting them keep using the Vulcan molds forearms without filling in those ridiculous glove lines. First Vision and now Ka-Zar, looks even worse on Ka-Zar considering he has bare arms.
Given we just got Power Princess in what is essentially a one piece bathing suit, that Shanna look would probably be fine. Alternatively, the outfit she had in the 3.75 line some years back.
Figures are up at Pulse
Grabbed Wolfsbane, Cable, and Ka-Zar. I can wait on the others.
Is there literally anything to suggest Hasbro won't do a female in a bikini? I know there's Goblin Queen and Moondragon, but those are beyond. I don't know what she looks like now but Shanna's looks from the 70s-90s are in line with other figures they've put out.
These aren't due out until July? 🙁
they are up on Amazon and EE now as well
Is Ka-Zar’s spear the closest to this version of Cable’s psimitar? Or is there a better spear that would work?
"We want figures that match the art!"
Hasbro: Not a problem, here's Tigra in her iconic bathing suit!
"But that doesn't match the art I'm talking about, why is it not a thong and why is her top covering her entire breast?!? AND SHE NOT THICC"
Hasbro: Well because making characters in a 'cheesecake' manner for male gratification is no longer appropriate in 2024!
"HOGWASH. damn you woke soccer moms!!!!!"
