*shudder*
Man, that head. But yeah, in green and with possible new forearms (for a sleeves-rolled-up look), that'd be great.
@schizm I was somewhat wondering earlier if they'd release jumpsuit Chuck with the chair again, but the rerelease has me thinking he'll be a single release. I suppose they could put him in a 2-pack with a dedicated Shadow-King or someone else. Either way, I'm keeping my pre-order for the old chair rerelease for now since I missed him the first go around.
For anyone curious:
This works pretty well!
I appreciate showing us how it looks. I think the problem most folks have with his face is he looks like he's posing for his class picture from Dental school. If they made him a tad more squinty I think he'd look more like he was genuinely smiling.
I personally stuck the smiling head on Darwin's body and swapped out the hands. Makes for an okay looking "Space Adventure" suit as I'm currently craving Hasbro to make the ones from the late 90s, particularly Rogue/Gambit/Joseph's.
If the MVC rumors turn out to be true, do you think there’s a chance they mix in Capcom characters as well? I’m sure licensing for some is just off the table but it seems like MVC looks/characters have been mostly covered now with a couple of exceptions.
Xavier head on the Wonder Man/Hank Pym body can work, especially if he's seated, but I still would probably avoid it because the body is just too big a build for Xavier. Even seated, I would know it in the back of my head, and it would drive me a little nutty.

I don't think Hasbro will bother chasing the Capcom licensing for a collab like this. It's not impossible, but I don't think it's likely.
While not impossible (they did do Ryu and Chun-Li figures in the Power Rangers line), I suspect these are gonna be Marvel figures with new decos and maybe a new head or two for the most part; sans Shuma-Gorath, who'd be all new.
More reason to do a Marvel Legends adjacent line that could include things like Conan (if they tried for the rights), Capcom, Hasbro's Micronauts, and other licensed things associated with Marvel.
We got what I amount to a soft-confirm of the X-Force leaks at PulseCon. When they showed off X-Force Nightcrawler, Dwight said (unprompted) how much he loves UXF and how they should do some more of them, which led to Ryan saying there are a few members of the team who could use modern updates, all in that tone where you know they're hinting at something.
When was the fan vote that Nightcrawler one? I don’t remember it happening.
It was in near the beginning of the Marvel Legends section, you got to vote for either Dan's favorite, Ryan's favorite, or Dwight's favorite characters.When was the fan vote that Nightcrawler one? I don’t remember it happening.
Was under the impression that the vote was for which figures gets revealed during the event. Not which goes into production
Yeah that's correct - I didn't understand it at first, but they basically let the viewers decide whose pick would be revealed during the stream. Ryan mentioned that Dwight's pick "was a big one" - not sure if that's literal, or a big character/surprise/etc.
Well, hello.

That would be pretty lame if this tease ended up going nowhere.
